Sorry for talking out of topic. Which Public Mutual fund do you invest in?

As a HNWI, your thinking must be dramatically different from that of commoners like me. So, I would like to learn a few tips from you, if you do not mind.

People are different. Especially so with people born with a silver spoon !

I was making big gains in options then lose all plus 6 figures of sum.

So "见好就收" is something difficult to do but a MUST for traders !

Wah.... u r so riCH... 6 figures

I started with 100k in Public Mutual. In 2013, 13 years later, it went to >400k. But last 2 years yo yo. Bought various funds.

Tips, u should get it from others. I am not typical one that u should learn from !

OT, get tips from other threads:

I'm impressed with your return from PM

only speculative trades can earn that much without high capital.

On average out of 10 txn, how many txn u made?

Power of compounded returns. Last 2 years stagnant due to market issues. About 9% returns per year average over the 16 years as now about 425k.

Actually did not touch it for years since I bought them around year 2000.

nice

1 week about 10-25 transactions.

But I do diversify too...

Can consider the attachment's...



Attached thumbnail(s)

Out of 10-25 txn in a week, how many txn u profit/loss/breakeven?

Thanks for d chart
It's ez to register high/low ROI if the base sum is small
U can explore to increase d base sum to 5 or 6 or 7 digits n c whether u can achieve 15% ROI?

agree on this part

Can. Because it is Pamm which got 690k from many investors.

The profit is distributed according to investors' share.

What I get the profit, they will get too.

On 970 over 690k... u should be able to count off how many total profits.

This post has been edited by jack2: May 22 2016, 10:10 PM

I failed my maths in primary school
Since u r confident, did u consider to show hand?

Share ratio = 970/690,000 = 0.14%

Total Profit = 152 /0.14% = 108,570

So work back total profit x share ratio = 108,570 x 0.14% = 152

So 108,570 / 690,000 = 15.7% also la...

because the account earned USD108,570 of out 690,000


Ya, i invested another 5k last week.

15.7% is over a period of how many mths?

1 month... u see the bottom of the pic// usd970 is invested on april 20..
