Stress Test on Portfolio
By Create Wealth Through Long-Term Investing and Short-Term Trading  •  September 28, 2012
In 2008/09 STI crashed down from its peak of 3,876 in Oct 2007 to low of 1,457.  Down by -62% Uncle8888's Portflio Value also down by -53% to $XXX,XXX So what will happen when the next Bear come? This is how I plan to slowly step back into the market when STI goes lower and lower.  
  ” If you have a worry problem, do these three things: 1. Ask yourself: “What is the worst that can possibly happen?” 2. Prepare to accept it if you have to. 3. Then calmly proceed to improve on the worst.” (Carnegie 49) How bad? The Stress Test result as follows: 1) Losses on new stock investment
2)  50% losses on current stock holding
In the worst case, Uncle8888's Protfolio Value is still 27% higher than in Mar 2009
Don't worry. Be happy!

I am 62 yrs old uncle living in HDB heartland who has achieved financial independence @ 56 and finally retired @ 60 from full-time job as employee on 1 Oct 2016. Single household income since 1995 with three children. Eldest son and daughter are now working and youngest son still in his 3nd year Uni in SUTD. I have been doing long-term investing and short-term trading in Singapore stock market only since Jan 2000 so I am that Panda or Koala in the investment world; but I am still surviving well in the wild. I am now executing my Three Taps solution model to maintain sustainable retirement income for life till 2038. Cheers!
