Blog, Investing Strategy, Portfolio Building

There is something fundamentally wrong about the stock market; how do you buy dividend stocks at this valuation? This is what you usually hear when you are about to invest. Interesting enough, I’m writing this article in May 2019, but I could have written it 2 years ago when I invested over 100K after quitting my job. I could have also written it back in 2014, once most markets had fully recovered from the 2008 crash. Regardless when you are about to invest, you will likely find more …

Blog, Investing Strategy, Principles

Should I sell now? That is probably the most difficult question to answer, right? Would you sell now? What would you sell? How would you do it? Which holdings should you keep? Your winners or your losers? I bought this blog back in 2010 and have written over 850 articles since then. Most of them are about my buy strategy.
