Wow, my job also as engineer. working pressure all the time. anyway we need the job as fixed income, then we just have money to invest.
Seem that KT has strong finance to invest the bluechips counters. You didn't ask him whether he hold for long term or short term? How's his strategies apply on stock market malaysia?

Big capital and good experience okla...

Eg.. 300k capital

In a mth time, do thorough stock research n monitor potential stock price movement ....

If can make 2-3% a mth also get 6-9K ady....

go for those fast moving stock if strike good ones.. maybe profit easily 5-10%++  15-30K a month..

If really suay stock.. den....paper lost ... takes time 2 recover..

I feel buying in stages eg... 3-5X on good stock  and diversity into 2-3 stock have better chance to survive in stock market..
If really confident and have insider news... want to sai lang all den its up to individual.

I also plan 2 go full time investor since 3-4 yrs ago but put it on hold coz that time market really bad...
Tat time some stock get stuck, not much profit to earn so no choice keep working as engineer and saving more money/capital
pump into stable/div stock 1st to grow my investment ...

Hope tis year can go full time into stock investment Cool

Who is full time investor???don't need work???


Who is an investor?  You can check out the definition of investment by reading Benjamin Graham's book, The Intelligent Investor.

However, many in the market may think they are investing when based on Benjamin Graham's definition, they are speculating or gambling.

Who is a full time investor?  Perhaps, these are investors whose streams of incomes are solely from their investments.  That is, his incomes are passive incomes derived from his investments only.  He is not in active employment.

He maybe a landlord collecting rent.
He maybe a plantation owner collecting profits from the produce.
He maybe a private business owner collecting profits from his company.
He maybe a stock market company owner through owning their shares collecting dividends.
He maybe a land owner sitting patiently for capital appreciation in the land price.

The last two investments require a little effort on his part.  The first three investments require a lot more effort, of varying involvements.  However, owning these assets does not prevent the investor from holding to a full time job or work to earn active income.  He has the choice of working for others or for himself.

Are traders full time investors?  I shan't enter this debate.   

Unlike traders, most investors do not churn their assets frequently.  In fact, through careful initial selection, they are contented to buy and hold them for an indefinite period.

Financial freedom is achieved when the passive income derived from his investment exceeds that of his expenses required to sustain his desired level of living.  Even when he has achieved financial freedom, the investor still can choose the option to continue to be in active employment for others or for his own, deriving active income(s).

But why stop at all.  Many have written in this blog that once they have achieved a certain amount of wealth, they will stop working or something quite similar.  Trust me, you will never stop doing something that you are passionate on.  Enjoy the journey as the destination is always ahead and new.

To grow fantastic wealth, you do not need to have a big capital to start with, especially when you are young. 

What you will require are:

1.  A good investing philosophy and strategy.
2.  A good understanding of the power of compounding.
3.  A long time horizon to invest.

You do not need to have extremely high IQ.  However, you do need common sense, an understanding of your emotions and the willingness to spent some effort doing homework on your investments.

Above all, do not lose money.  By taking care of the downside, the upside though modest can translate into very reasonable returns. 

It is better to be in an investment that gives many years of positive returns on a consistent basis than to be in an investment that gives you fantastic returns for a few short years and negative returns interspersed between these.  The returns from the former will definitely be better and safer in the long run, in general.

A bigger capital will be a plus.

Eg.
A started with 60K and now his investment capital grow to 300k...

If give A start with 600K ....his investment now 3,000,000..


Yes, i agree with u, dont lose money. Cool

Quotes from the cantonese movie "Dont go breaking my heart"

Theres only 2 rules in stock market investment
Rule no.1 dont lose money,
Rule no.2 dont forget rule no.1
