Recently, an investor said, “Investing isn’t about who makes the most money, it’s about who lasts the longest.”

It reminds me of how people approach life differently. Some want to live long, while others want to live fully.

Do you value longevity, or do you value intensity?

It’s like asking whether you’d rather make fast, big money or earn slowly and steadily over time. Warren Buffett once said that investing is a marathon, not a sprint. But does everyone agree with that?

Make fast money or make steady money?

Deep down, I believe human nature leans toward wanting to make fast money and lots of it. Sure, it comes with risks. If you earn money beyond your level of understanding, you might lose it just as quickly.

But why worry about something that hasn’t happened yet? Isn’t it more exciting to just live life to the fullest? Sometimes, a thrilling ride is all that matters.

There’s a saying: “The soul is the prophet of destiny.” Our lives are like placing an order with the universe if you want something enough and work for it, the result often follows.

So from that perspective:

What kind of investment story are you writing for yourself?

Are you aiming to earn more, or to earn longer?

And more importantly, is your playbook playing out the way you envisioned?

    I focus on dividends income, I tried to avoid paper loss and long term investment. I got some profits over the  last 3 years, very little capital gain, the majority is dividends. It's not very good, but it fits my financial goals and risks tolerance.

    如果你几年前问我这个问题,我可能会说:赚快钱,套现,再来一轮。但现在?我正在写一个完全不同的投资故事——一个以长期为核心,而不是靠一时冲动的故事。


    我渐渐明白,赚得多没有意义,如果它无法持续。我想要的是稳定——不是暴涨暴跌的刺激,而是安静的复利积累。我不追求一夜暴富,我在搭建一个能在牛市热潮和熊市低谷中都能活下去的投资框架。这意味着我更看重的是基本面稳健的公司、多元化的ETF组合,还有在市场吵闹时保持持仓不动。


    我现在关注的,不是“精准抄底”,而是“长期持有”。当然,看到别人在短期题材上暴赚,我也会心动,但我学会了拉长时间维度去看问题。这场游戏不是看谁跑得快,而是看谁能活得久。


    至于我的投资剧本是否正在按预期展开?坦白说,有好有坏。有些判断失误了,有些靠耐心兑现了回报。但这就是长期主义的魅力——你有空间调整、有机会改写,还能继续前行。所以我的故事不是完美的,但它是属于我自己的。而且我已经准备好,继续走下去。

    Make fast money or make steady money both applied to me. Buy and hold some good and strong companies shares while making fast money along the fluctuations in the markets.

    Can I be greedy? I want to aim for both more and long! There is no point in being like a firework that fizzles out quickly. Also, many times, we need the power of time as it is often said that time in the market is more important than timing the market as we need time for the returns to compound and for long term economic growth to take place. It has also been shown that most investors do better to be in the market for the long term than to time the market, even for the professionals or experts. To me, the only exception to this may be the HK market where I tend to take profit instead of holding it for the long term.


    I would say that generally my plans have been playing out the way I envisioned. However, my SREITs are not performing as how I would like them to. So, I am sticking to my plans to holding them till further rate cuts that will help them rebound. In the meantime, I will just be collecting dividends.

    我的目标比较倾向赚得旧,慢慢赚,要稳定的盈利。这样会让我避免大笔的亏损,导致我出现投资错误决定。而且可以睡得香,吃得香。
