I mean that we "DID NOT LOSE AT ALL", if our account is down 50% during the time of 50% down of index. It happened in 2008. Furthermore, when index is up 50% and if our account is up 50%, then we "DID NOT WIN AT ALL". It is since stock market is zero-sum. Of course, when index is up 50% and...

I heard that, in 1930's more than 10 years also, the index was still down. Possibly, it was ALWAYS up for the past 400 years (stock market appearance), for ANY 20 years period.

It is my mistake, just trying to mean "enough time". Sorry for that. Most person has 50 years of equal period (from 30 to 80). I should agree that even index could be minus, for SOME (selected) 10 years as above.

Of course, 10 years might be too short. Follow Buffet's record, for 50 years or so (More than 4000 times of the initial seed.), as shown explicitly at http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2015ltr.pdf

One of best strategy is hold such as SPY, for 10 years. You will NEVER lose at all, since SPY is same as index. Furthermore, You never(almost) pay commission at all, and does NOT pay tax in SOME country. Similarly some does NOT use any air-conditioner or heater, to follow living in outside...

No one knows how and when they will open the stock market to foreigners. The housing market is already open. By capitalism principle, China cannot continue to close the stock market, like North Korea. There might be some alternative way, such as investing by a company (instead of personal...

Mobile apps are different to each brokers. However, since most brokers use HTML5 for standard communcation, it might be quite easy to make automatic buy/sell with COMMON coding for each brokers. If so, it is also easy to change to new brokers with better commission than previous brokers. (I...

They are similar to Japan' 60's and Taiwan' 80's.

Dear- If you are Chinese trader or have Chinese friend to ask, please do it for me. 1) I heard that Chinese trader pay ONLY 0.1% transaction tax, with NO annual income tax for the portion of annual profit. Is it true? 2) Which broker offers cheap commission in China and what is their...

Regarding speed of CPU and reliability, ARM CPU in phone cannot the CPU of PC/laptop. Probably because of the size limitation and heat transfer in SMALL device.

Furthermore, if one can spend 50 years(from 30 to 80), then 1)With annual compounded return of 20%, your initial seed shall be 1.2^50 = 9100.438, like the case of Buffet. 2) With milder condition of annual 15%, your wealth will grow 1.15^50 = 1083.657 times, no matter seed is 10K or 100K. For...

For example, if you find a logic "Out of 100 trial, win 80 times and lose 20 times/ with equal amount" Then probably you will be a long-time (consistent) winner, even after expense(comm+tax). On the other hand, if win 60 times and lose 40 times, then you will be a loser, after long period. You...

I agree that broker requiring ONLY phone should have hidden reason. Similarly if some home cam company offers free use, then the company may sell personal shot at bathroom from you, to others with profit.

Everyone has all different opinion. For me, one best way is to fresh-format frequently. Unfortunately, some OS does NOT allow frequent format by users.

Most agrees that phone trading is "MISERABLEY INSECURE". PC/laptop trading with frequent OS-formatting may be securer than phone. I do not prefer phone or some OS that is intentionally hard to format freshly.

Good to hear that 1) For possible electricity/internet shutdown, we need to prepare always an alternative such as phone trading. 2) Prepare at least several brokers for sudden commission change.

Until now, Robinhood did NOT provide web trading in PC? (I didn't know it) Hope to join them after they make NEW platform for web. At least phone cannot provide what I want (e.g. large chart)

Really??? So desktop users are NOT allowed to use Robinhood broker....?

I wonder when Xi Jinping open the stock market to foreigners.

Many brokers outside US offers trading for US stocks. However the Phillipines broker may charge two commission (Phillipine and US). Will you pay to two brokers commission?
