Most of the investors, including fund managers are limited by their behavior which is fear of losing. It takes a lot of confident for one to patient.

We only have 24 hours in a day. :)<br /><br />As for killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, is it just because we lack patience? I wonder. ;)<br /><br />Sometimes, we might decide that it is time to let go of an investment because it is no longer the good investment that we think it was only to AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-33455986900500045322013-02-12T23:53:39.771+08:002013-02-12T23:53:39.771+08:00Hi AK71,

This is through my interaction with many, many people over the course of the last 5-6 years. One interesting thing I realized - most lack the patience to hold on to a good company even if they have the Musicwhizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950754156386935254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-588798150838218882013-02-12T14:52:52.209+08:002013-02-12T14:52:52.209+08:00Hi jojo,

And because I regard the knowledge of VI & its practice as a lifeskill, I like to highlight VI to youths.

A couple of readers had to buy new instead at US$20.50 a book.<br /><br />So, if you don't mind, by the time you are done reading the incoming books, the store could have stock of pre-owned copies again. :)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-75634963931176801652013-02-11T17:58:56.042+08:002013-02-11T17:58:56.042+08:00Thanks AK71,

This is from my personal observation. The reason for this?

Unfortunately, with the free shipping option, there is no tracking service.<br /><br />Taking into account that you placed your order on a Saturday and the Chinese New Year holidays here in Singapore, I think you will receive your books either late this week or early next week. <AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-31016366050305189152013-02-11T00:42:43.759+08:002013-02-11T00:42:43.759+08:00Hi Ak,

When it was 3.50 people told me to sell. When it was 3.90, people also told me to sell. <br /><br />But I persevere and held on for over 3 years. While waiting, I also collected handsome dividends. <br /><br />The same can be applied to REITs, they reward us for being patient.Dividend Tech Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905667545384063302noreply@blogger.com
