Winner/Loser ? Reflections of a half-bucket trader

Ken again back with his nonsense , those who are sleepy already , please turn in for the night.


Pre Warning : the amount non-standard and grammatically incorrect language used in this post is enough to fill an olympic sized swimming pool with saliva , because what i'm saying here might not be what some of you might expect.

This is a SHORT POST NIA.


Over the short time that i've been a small time trader , i've learnt these lessons and i mean each and every single word of it from the bottom of my heart.

**Oh yah , got song for y'all to listen somemore :) **


1) There will be a LOSER. 

 No matter what one tries to sweet-talk, sugar coat things , it is an iron-clad fact , even when you profit from the market , you are taking away a less adept trader's $ . Simple as that , even if you nick away a BB's $ , it is only a small mini mini sum . Comparatively , if u nick away the same sum from a retail trader , it should be quite a sum ! Now don't around BOASTING ah , sharing is still ok , know where to draw the line , being true and humble always has its merits , remember , every dog has its day , 风水轮流转啊！



Ps. not being sexist ah!

2) It is always a continuous learning journey and the curve is damn steep man!

So? What do you do? You put on your darn A-Game and do the best you darn can and concentrate to reach your daily monthly hourly yearly whatever goals lar ! Then , be cautious ah , dun say ah boy bo hor warning , u see what happen to the world economies ? Yar , BEWARE !


Well That's all the naggy Ken has to preach today, peace out and HUAT AH ! Remember , do more charity work , helps u to lift your mood too! :)


Cheers
Ken

    Good work noting point 1. An engineer once looked at me and said "I can't do what you do." I asked why. He said "in order to be successful at what you do, when you gain, somebody else has to lose. I can't do that. My work makes me build useful things that makes everybody gain."

    Zero sum games. We can reframe our gains to be tuition fees paid by the "losers" to make them better traders heh

Boring , compounding , or is it?

Good Evening! I got this crazy (honestly .... if i find it a bit "siao" it should be quite siao la) idea that i've delayed over a year or two. Recent events such as my mum falling ill and the recent passing of my 大舅 (Mum's eldest bro) have helped cement the notion of going through with the idea. THE IDEA in context? A family owned company which buys shares in listed companies with no or low debt and use the dividends to be reinvested together with additional capital contribution on a yearly basis. I've attached a table below for viewing.  Assuming a yield of 5% P.A. from dividends , excluding capital appreciation , aga aga results are as shown below. FYI , my extended family is big so can do it on such a scale if not each shareholder contribution has to be larger to obtain such results. Disclaimer(s): 1) Chart too small don't blame me , zoom in , zoom zoom. Paiseh la , i IT. noob (I provided two snips which should help in understanding the t...

Ah , b4 i begin to even rant, Happy CNY ! HUAT AH! Moving on liao, this is a self-reflection post (enough of financial posts for now , you have my blog list la , visit one of them :p ) , so for those that can't tahan long granny stories (kidding!) , read on. Those who can't tahan ah boy's style ? Obviously you wouldn't be here if you can't tahan la huh... 1) Be TRUE to others and yourself  This is definitely applicable to all aspects of life. Before starting out on commerce , back in my secondary school days , i used to be a lot more reserved , i don't usually put this out, but i learnt over time that putting out the real you has been very beneficial in terms of boosting a bit of self-confidence and also , it also helps you to allow others to understand you better , because , when you don't speak up , others don't know! Treat others like how you would treat yourself , only then will people begin to open up to you , and you will understand them be...

Yo ! Ah Boy is finally "UMEMPLOYED" !! Funny leh , unemployed and yet i'm so happy.... i know what you must be thinking... this ah boy siao liao ah? For me , being unemployed is one of the happiest thing that has happened to me , because i've finally graduated from my studies!! Damn , after endless nights of nightmares , i finally turn from full time student to .... unemployed. Well for my off day , i decided to KLKK ( Hokkien for walking around ). An acquaintance alerted me to a news article a while back in the papers , with a portfolio shown every week done up by CFA professionals as part of a moneysense  initiative  , a short 2 hour seminar will be held every 2 monthsor so ba. I also managed to meet up with my accountant , to settle tax issues (Remember to file your taxes soon ah! ) and also to do a bit of business reorganisation as part of my portfolio review. For the most part , the seminar focused on enforcing or rather instilling the discipline that...
