Well said. Extraordinary gain is often done at the expense of higher risks. It is not wise for everyone to adopt a high risk high return strategy. Most working professionals only have time to just manage a handful of ETFs at most, and that's what they should be doing if they don't have time to dabble in small-mid caps where the risks are higher. And they should still get good return around 10% with minimum effort. There's no point taking higher risks if the investor do not have the appetite or time for it.
Stock market is a place where majority of participants think they can beat the index. It's a good place to stretch one's ego, just like a casino never fails to invite overconfident gamblers that they too can beat the house.

People who read and understand this will be able to avoid the cheating from conman like the quack quack quack who, for the last two years, told them that they could be a multi-millionaire instantly following his sailang and margin buying Jaks and Sendai at RM1.80+ and RM1.40+ respectively.
Sadly, many were caught and cheated, if only they have read all my articles posted in i3investor, instead of the quack quack quack.
If you earn 6.6% from the stock market with all the risk taken better put money in FD. You can eat and sleep everyday peacefully. Why have to listen to all this crap?
The 6.6% pa is the average aggregrate return over many yrs...some outperform & some underperform mah...!!
Thats why people like 3iii say people can compound every yr 15% pa...very misleading....give the wrong impression mah....!!
To do better ur skill need to improve alot mah...!!

Trump spends his whole life as a bully.....bullying his contractors, staff, his wives and those closest to him.

How to describe Trump?

No need to worry about Trump. He pushes people to achieve expected target, hence seems like a bully. That is why he is BILLIONAIRE. Trump is wise in making business. Lopsided trade deals is definitely not good. A prudent "customer" will cut costs when they realise spending more than the return. That is what Trump is doing. Don't cry, that he is bullying China.
Of course you can borrow it KC.The thing is i did not think twice while posting the statement as its purpose is to tease someone.Hahaha.By the way,i do appreciate the numerous useful articles you posted for i3 community.Happy CNY.
