Well, the KLCi was around the 1,050 level 20 years ago. So including dividends...shouldn't the returns be around...

Wealth through abundance is sustainable, unlike in the past where wealth is undoubtedly created through scarcity and slavery of the masses...nowadays they are just being exploited! But we are moving towards a more equitable society, just look at the Nordic countries...they not perfect, but a example of...

give, give, give...
donate, donate, donate.

tq, tq, tq...

Since i started trading/investing KLSE stocks back in 1994, i had never attended any talks, seminars, courses, workshops, subscribe...Only attended a couple of free property related investment gatherings.
I have only read no more than 3 books that are directly relevant to stock investing/speculating/trading. And those 3 books were not brought by me, 2 of the books was my brother's, and the third a gift from my remisier!

I'm a small and humble full time investor since 2010.

The wise and humble appreciate winners, while the bitter and envious cheer losers.

The enlightened, loves all no matter winners, losers, givers, takers, lovers, haters...

Happy, healthy & prosperous lunar new year everybody!

Happy, healthy & prosperous year of the sheep everybody!

The world may belong to the optimist, but the meek will inherit the Earthh!
So be gentle, stay positive, yet humble...treasures...both now and thereafter awaits?!


GONG XI FA CAI

hao xiang ..!

Every investors dream...

A humble man or just humble admission?

Trading shorts per se, might not attract 'negative energy', but when betting on a stock market doom...?

Some enjoy spending, some gaya mesti ada, some enjoy saving, some enjoy giving, while some enjoy making $$$...some even enjoy being miserable with their money!

Well, investors like Bogle, Buffett, Marks...just stay invested at all times in quality/growth/value stocks. They ignore and ride out all the ups and downs of the mkt, believing its futile and too risky to time/outmaneuver/outsmart mkt cycles and trends.

Very frugal & humble investor!

I want it to be D real deal!

hype or real??!

Perfect timing?????

good & nice, II.

There are many US$ billionaire stock market investors like Boggle, Buffett, Klarman...even much of Soros fabulous wealth is from his investments. How many people have become billionaires solely thru trading forex?

Agree. A trader trades, a investor invests, a speculator forecasts, a timer times, a lover loves...

No right or wrong, so long as one is happy, making money, harm nor wrong anyone...!

considering investing instead aah?

tq

more info & data for investors...tq

A pawn in a game of the highest stake

I salute those smart and clever few who are brave and daringg enough to bet huge...hero or zero!??

Only after 3 full bear cycles or a minimum of 15 years, will we really know how good a investor she really is.

Investing is the simplest way to make money from stock mkts.

I rather cut my own hair and use the money saved to buy msg instead...haha!

...only for speculating and trading purposes

Ride the trend; one of my fav strategy...especially during my fond Second Board days back in the mid 90's.

I believe there's still lots of skeptics, cynics, fear...not greed in our local mkt since last Oct. But often markets need some doses of doubts, to move up...

I think most of the 20% winners u mentioned are either investors or longer term speculators who didn't jump in and out of mkt everytime mkt shoot up or made a correction...

Local funds know much more of the going ons here in Msia than any of the ff. So as long as there's no mass local selling...
Better still, just stay invested in quality/growth/value stocks at all times, ignoring all the volatile ups & downs instead of succumbing to the fear, temptation, stress, greed, ego...of timing/outsmarting mart!

Yeah sure...If anyone could time and outmaneuver stock markets like Buffett can in investing, he or she would be a $ trillionaire within 20 years!

Markets like the KLCi & S&P 500, volitility are always towards setting new highs over the long term. Thus it makes sense to stay invested at all times instead of trying to jumping in and out of markets. I believe it's not only very energy & time sapping, but also stressful, luck dependant and extremely risky to attempt to outmaneuver market cycles/trends!

Market timers & speculators fear not only bullish trend reversal, they also fear bearish trend reversal too! In other words, they are anxious no matter which ever trajectory market is at. Contrast that to lonng term investors who ride out all the volatility by staying investted in quality/value/growth stocks at all times instead of trying to outsmarting mart cycles. Maybe the lack of stress in this method of investing is one of the reasons why many billionaire stock investors, works way pass their 80's!

Market forecasting/timing, won't work over the long term...can't rely on luck for long when it comes to investing!

Investing is satisfying and enjoyable when one makes decent money, without the stress, risk and fear of getting your timing wrong and/or being outsmarted by market!

These super investors stay invested at all times...ignoring all the wild up and down swings that stocks prices and the general market inevitably have to face.

The truth shall set u free.
You attract whatever u do, think, believe...

A speculator time and try to outsmart market cycles. While a investor ignores all the short to medium up and down mkt swings. Most legendary investors practices the at least almost fully invested at all times method. They also warned against mart outsmarting/timing, as it's not only futile but also foolhardy to believe anyone could possibly consistently & correctly dodge in and out of markets.

There are many "pure" billionaire investors, but i can only name one "true" billionaire speculator - Livermore.

It's all there already, writen in the books of those legendary billionaire market players. Just correctly practice and diligently apply their methods, strategies, discipline...with a little luck on your side - $$$ will come! Not likely to become a billionaire like them yourself though, lol!

Pablo is a investor, while Bruno a trader - is that what this writer hinting at? Finally realised...or just getting more enlightened?!

Not only for the smartest and bravest, but also the very lucky few!!

Conflict of interest or not...how i wish i was invested in P***** since 2005!

Even Buffett has a few investments in the O&G sector. Should i then totally follow or reject his...?! Can anyone be 100% right all the time?

STOIC

Very carefully read an understand books like One up on Wall St, The Intelligent Investor, Reminiscence of a stock Operator...and then diligently and correctly apply the methods and strategies of these billionaires. Unlikely to be billionaires like them, but chances of making decent money...!

Unless one is a value investor, all other investors need only to know what is eps, per,roe, roi, dividend yields...
More important is to have a analytical mind, discipline, stoic not emotional, methodical...long term and don't try to time or outsmart mart!

Safe long term investments...can't take too much risks when it comes to others hundreds $$$ millions. Not for mkt timers and aggressive investors.

...on a roll...enjoy it...a trader's wish...
