There is a limit of how many times you can jump. Eventually your skill set is not on par with your pay and you will face termination.

Still better than pana's 116% in 30 months, in fact twice the record

Your 116% up is after minus all the div as cost?

Living cost too high. Both husband and wife need to work in order to stay in big house and get big cars

Actually writing off dividend as cost is an effective way to calculate the real profit from specific stock, unfortunately, I'm too lazy to do it. Without updating the dividend as cost, your cost will remain the same until you sell it, either at loss or gain, but it will never be the real net gain/loss.

I think it's correct. Different people have different style. I did not do it because I'm too lazy to track it. I would say, for you, if you do so, you will get real profit rather than I'm just having "not so real" as all my dividends/bonus issues/right issues/warrants are not included as the cost. If stock is in profit, I would say, it will be definitely be more than what I actually mentioned. Eg. a stock give RM3 give 20c div, and I sold at RM3.50, my profit would be just 50c rather than 70c. I would say this method is best measure if you want to see the real profit, but to me, agak-agak also can already, as I don't want spend time adjusting the cost.

If dividend, I just take the yield per annum. So assuming I want to have 60K per annum to retired, I would need at least 1M of investment capital in the dividend stocks that give me a net gain of 6% per year.

I believe, barring any unforseen circumstances, my expenses will not be at 60K per annum as I would have already finish paying off my house and car loan. Not to mention, I still have EPF and maybe even rental income. So, the 5K per month usage is already include with the inflation.

1)Good maintenance will prolong the lifespan of the car lo.
2)That's why need insurance
3)That's why don't spoon feed them
4)If you are very old, I think parents also same.
5)

I also dunno where he is wrong, but his calculation looks a bit wrong to me. I just can't figure it out.

I think, if you never deduct the dividend cost, you won't bother put dividend as your gain, just like I never. So your gain will be 50/1.00 a.k.a 50%.

Using the dividend minus cost will give you a real net gain, which you then minus your initial cost aka RM1.00
So, you will get 90c/1.00 = 90%.

Ok, so it's only me who never keep track. In fact, I never added any of the "entitlements" for all the stocks I have bought and sold, and I think this way to way too wrong already.

I'll be attacking Singapore stocks soon. Wait for me to join you

VROOOOMMM!!!

VROOOMMMM!!!

I agree with this style. I'm practicing the same as well so that I don't miss out on any bull run, but at the same time, my capital will not tie to a stocks for loooooooooonnnnnnnnnng time.

Unfortunately not all

I buy smaller companies one. Big ones like Mahsing sold long long time. But really not much movement.

I think our stocks have been going sideways while everywhere on the globe is in bullish mode, thus we are actually catching up. In fact my US stocks have been steadily rising to about 20% this year alone, and although one of it has been dropping recently, but compare to the stocks in KLSE, it fares well ahead. Only after election, my KLSE stocks have been pushing 8% post GE, so I would think that a nice 12% would have brought me to where my US stocks is, and would be ideal. Anyway, with companies pending to pay dividend, I am quite bullish all range bull might be on going for a little longer. Well, at least that's what I hope as well.

Economy and world problems will have impact to the fundamentals of stocks. To me a fundamentalist can only ignore chart and fear factor.
