Those who invested a lot during the crash certainly were richer now.

DIY harder so more return. <br /><br />I guess it depends on what we want.

If we invest in it long enough, we would have got back our capital. However its takes more than 10 years I guess. The good thing is if we keep on buying at different prices averaging down, the chances of losing money after 10 years is almost 0. <br /><br />Another safer and easier way is to buy the index. Straight away own the 30 largest company in Singapore. How to lose money if you keep buying for the past 10 years? <br /><br /> SGYIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445517891969740960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-31143924760410813422014-01-29T13:45:16.322+08:002014-01-29T13:45:16.322+08:00Hi B,

I hope I did emphasise enough that we don't buy the stock immediately once we discover them.<br /><br />I guess many people do not know how to exactly research on a company. There are just too many financial terms, accounts, management policies to look at. On top of that still have to consider is the company risky in terms of its debt, are they making good use of the debt, is the debt hedged against interest rate or currency risk etc etc. Not many people can comprehend all these and it takes months and years to learn it. Not forgetting we have to analyse the economy as a whole also so knowledge of economics is also needed. With all these, I think most people just rather settle for the easy way out to buy companies that won't collapse ie owned partly by the government. <br /><br />SGYIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445517891969740960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-10433591604392659712014-01-29T13:41:53.543+08:002014-01-29T13:41:53.543+08:00After X or XX years, Return of Capital via dividen...After X or XX years, Return of Capital via dividends collected (aka payback) and thereafter enjoying the fruits of free capital.<br /><br />Bad idea?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />CreateWealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/04870750974362417154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-42776766594157998452014-01-29T11:01:43.153+08:002014-01-29T11:01:43.153+08:00Hi SG YI

It's kind of reminding us we are being surrounded by many day to day companies that are operating within us everyday.<br /><br />One thing that can be bad though is that people may buy without doing sufficient FA on the company. For e.g I've heard many people who said that they would buy SMRT simply because it won't collapse. Hmm, so people invests not to make returns but just to ensure that the companies they purchase won't collapse!!??<br />Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041255778427742477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-54263208330482238512014-01-29T08:39:58.775+08:002014-01-29T08:39:58.775+08:00Hi Small Time Investor

After we sell, the stock goes straight up. Then regret sets in. Lol<br /><br />If we can totally ignore the market noise and price movements, then it will be possible but humans are prone to emotions.
