Alright so the US just announced at 50bps cut this week.
It wasn’t completely unexpected, but along with the narratives I’ve been hearing and my analysis, I have a decently big strategy shift I want to make now.

somehow made the mistake of not 123DCA again
Alright so for some reason even though I just wrote a post outlining my mistakes of not 123DCA-ing, somehow I made that mistake, once again.
So just want to make yet another post to remind myself AGAIN to not do that anymore, ever.
Investment 20240901
Started out as a completely shitty month but rebounded for the most part.
Anyways I have developed a solid strategy due to last month and this month’s volatility and feels much more secure about the investments now.
Going to be more focused on the business while keeping an eye on the happenings moving forward.
Ben Graham’s “Mr Market” and my role as an investor/analyst
Just read a piece by howard marks talking about Ben Graham’s concept of “Mr. Market”.
Imagine having paid $1000 for shares in a company. And Mr Market is sitting next to you, telling you each day what your shares are worth.
Here is the quote:
Importance of having “Rules” with investing
Something I’ve realized especially after these few days of turbulence is – the need of having buy and sell “rules” in my investment strategy.
And not having rules is what burn beginners, or those who might not be beginners but are constantly losing in the markets.
USDJPY reflection post – 20240805
Alright so it’s Aug 5th and things have developed into the most unpredictable turn of events.
huge drop in USDJPY, huge drop in the JP stock market, and moderate drop in the US stock market.
Losing a lot of net worth sucks a bit, but more important I am needing to take a hard look at my current investment strategy and needing to make some adjustments after some expensive lessons.

What a roller-coaster ride of a month in my investment journey!
A lot of stress but I think it’s a good experience and I’m learning through it.
Risk Reduction with 123DCA
- March 2024, N225 39k, went in HKD200k, -HKD10k
- Jul 2024, 2644 5k, went in HKD50k, -HKD10k
Both times I got in too rushed and all in one place – which ended up me getting caught on the wrong side.
So now I’ve learned a better way to enter positions – 123DCA.
Sacrifices of Investment, and okay with being wrong
Just heard a podcast between Mark Howards and a chess master talking about investing in terms of chess.
In both, you have to make sacrifices in order to be a good player.
