My assets are nowhere near 100k
Mins sharing your discount rate, duration of investment, and future value (or present value)?
What are you talking about? Keep it simple. Just open up a compounding calculator and key in all details. My duration have always been 10-20 years time. I counted with dividend even a 30 year timeline + my current salary, no way can reach a million. But with options, I can reach it in say 10 years if I am doing it consistently. Key here is consistently.

He is a rich guy and has good stomach for volatility.

100 shares for one option trade. AAPL, MSFT etc. easily in the 100-300 USD per share range, which amounts to 20k USD per trade, factor in diversification of 4-5 counters, 100k USD or 400k MYR.
I have no regrets, seeing NVDA go up 10% a day and 10% down the other day, compared with S-REITs which barely move above 0.5% in a normal day, the extra return from options is called "risk premium" for a reason.
Anyway risk profile differs from people to people.
Bro, you should know by now I am not rich. If I am rich, I wouldn't have find creative ways to not pay the banks but simply give them free money.
As long as you buy quality companies, nothing to worry about. That's why my goal for 2022 is DCA in Adobe or Google once a month.
How do you think I build my portfolio? Careful investment for years and trading in my dividend stocks for high quality US stocks when I realised I am a fool for not buying quality us companies.
If I tell you I am currently earning half of RM10k, from my current salary, will you believed that? Anyway up to you to believe or not.

My view is a bit different. The only astute investor is the finance controllers of the company. They are the true insiders who can price securities exactly. There isn't any alpha (over the long run) for a typical active fund managers, let alone retail investors.
When I have a big account, I will make sure the private bankers stay far away from me first.
Even if you choose 7-10%, the discounted present value is still way above my current assets. 6.5% p.a. is about my current IRR, though I am aiming for 7-8% in the long run.
It's total return here, not just dividends. Capital gain + current income = total return
"Well-off" student?

Nowhere near that. 100k as in MYR. I wished it's USD.
Happy new year to everyone.
Actually wrong. Management is the one who make or break the companies. They don't have pricing power but market is the one who determine how much it's worth.
