Silly investor

Enjoy investing as a pastime, researching about company, loving my core job which has nothing to do with the financial world.

Wish to build up dividend income for comfortable semi-retirement. Nope, never want to retire, might want a break as and when needed.

First started investing after 911 incident, thereafter made a mistake of thinking I am genius for making money in the stock market during the subsequently bullrun. Return all profits to Mr Market after getting caught in the CAO fiscao.

Stay out of the super bull market till 2009, when I sumon enough courage and confidence to renter the markets. Earn back all that is lost and some more. Made the second mistake of trading S-chips based on simple ratios like PE, cash per share, in 2010-2011. Win much and lost much in S-chips.

Investment paradigm shifted in 2012 after reading the book "the intelligent investor", intrigued with the concepts of value-investing, and never looked back since. 2013 mark the year whereby all investments made before 2012 are "cleansed" from the portfolio
