They\u2019re going to beat the stock market, retire early, and buy a mansion beside the beach.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people think that they\u2019re the 1% who are special. Or at least, they\u2019re almost there; just one more \u201cBecome a Millionaire Investor\u201d seminar and they\u2019ll make it big!<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the painful truth \u2013 you\u2019re more likely to be in the 99% than the 1%. In fact, if you\u2019re reading this right now, I\u2019ll bet you\u2019re part of the 99% like me \u2013 not a multi-millionaire stock market genius.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t to say you\u2019ll never reach the 1% of investors. With a lot of hard work, connections, and God\u2019s grace, maybe you will. But it\u2019s not going to be easy. And do you even want to put all that blood, sweat and tears into reaching there?<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re okay to be in the 99%; you just want to be a good investor with good returns \u2013 without risking too many grey hairs \u2013 this one is for you. From a fellow 99%-er, here\u2019s a strategy that will help you be a better investor: play to not lose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Playing-to-win-vs-playing-to-not-lose\"><\/span>Playing to win vs. playing to not lose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What does playing to not lose mean?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take sports to illustrate this point. Sports is where most people play to win. This sometimes messes with our brains, and makes us want to do spectacular, but much riskier things.<\/p>\n<p>But I recently read* about how for the most of us \u2013 it isn\u2019t how spectacular we are at playing the game that determines who wins, but it\u2019s who makes <em>less<\/em> mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between professionals and amateurs is that amateurs make mistakes; a <em>lot<\/em> of mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re an amateur sportsperson, you can use this to your advantage. If you\u2019re playing badminton to win (and not for style), focus on playing non-risky defensive shots, instead of spectacular cross-court smashes. Instead of going for the kill, just get the shuttlecock in a safe area. This isn\u2019t the way Chong Wei plays, but he was World No.1 for 6 years and a 3-time Olympic medallist \u2013 and you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s boring as hell, but statistically you\u2019re going to win.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s extend that approach to investing\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-much-can-you-afford-to-lose\"><\/span>How much can you afford to lose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to investing, too many of us invest in things we don\u2019t really understand. We want to get huge returns, but by not understanding \u2013 we take on too much risk.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s human nature to want maximum benefits, without putting in the work. We want to play to win big, because winning feels so good.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the badminton equivalent of not training at all, and then expecting to beat Chong Wei. Unfortunately for us, the market is a whole lot meaner than Chong Wei.<\/p>\n<p>Investing is not a lottery ticket, which grants you instant riches if you\u2019re lucky. That\u2019s called gambling, and you can do that at Genting. At least there, they have published rules, and you can calculate exactly what your odds are.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, investing in something you don\u2019t understand could make you lose <strong>all<\/strong> your money.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Only-take-risk-in-proportion-to-knowledge\"><\/span>Only take risk in proportion to knowledge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the bright side, it\u2019s easy to learn about personal finance and investing. There are a million websites devoted to teaching non-finance people about investing basics. Just stick to the realistic ones.<\/p>\n<p>As you learn more, you can start taking more calculated risks. Just a few hours studying (and talking to the right people), and you could quite competently start investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-amanah-saham-bumiputera-asb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amanah Saham<\/a>. This should immediately double your returns from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/fixed-deposit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fixed Deposits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A few days of further studying and you\u2019ll have unit trust basics covered. You could then put in a little money to test; and see how it works. Then you can move on to riskier items like the stock market, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/reits-vs-physical-properties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REITs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/invest-exchange-traded-funds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETFs<\/a>. For those who can stomach the higher risks and extreme volatility, they can explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/how-much-invest-cryptocurrency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cryptocurrency<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/what-are-nft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFT<\/a> scene,\u00a0 which have been gaining traction in the investment arena in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>If you are new to the investing game, you can get started by letting a computer algorithm manage your investments by using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/robo-advisor-comparison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">robo advisor<\/a> which has the advantage of low fees and wider access to many types of investments.<\/p>\n<p>The key is to not invest in something you don\u2019t understand. If you really want more returns and risk, go ahead \u2013 but please educate yourself first. How much risk you take needs to be proportionate to your skill. Just be aware \u2013 in the market, there are a lot of professionals who are playing against you.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: play to not lose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-the-conservative-99-investor-can-do\"><\/span>What the conservative 99% investor can do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So we agree that financial education is good. But on the other extreme, understand that some people make a living off other people\u2019s ignorance \u2013 by promising them get-rich-quick schemes.<\/p>\n<p>You can quickly tell by their Sponsored Ads on Facebook: \u201cGuaranteed System to Beat the Stock Market. Register at\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But ask yourself \u2013 have you ever met someone who became rich through some super strategy to beat the stock market? Or did he become rich, by <em>claiming<\/em> to beat the stock market, and then selling a book\/course\/seminar\/MLM membership?<\/p>\n<p>Be careful who you take financial advice from. People will tell you all kinds of optimistic stories to get you to give them your money. For starters, before you hand over your hard-earned money for an investment opportunity, check that the person or company you are dealing with is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sc.com.my\/regulation\/licensing\/licensed-and-registered-persons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">licensed<\/a> by the Securities Commission Malaysia<\/p>\n<p>If you can tolerate a little more risk, there are now a wider variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/online-investment?src=menu_dropdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online investments<\/a>\u00a0 available to Malaysians which offer lower fees and the opportunity to start earning passive income.<\/p>\n<p>You might not get double-digit returns that your loud friends boast about \u2013 but you won\u2019t live in fear of your investments turning to crap overnight either.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no shame in playing to not lose, if you don\u2019t have the skills to play like a pro. You might not be <em>great<\/em> at investing, but maybe it\u2019s enough for you to just be <strong>good<\/strong> at investing. To be comfortable in the top 20%, instead of risking everything to be in the top 1%.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the only thing worse than an average person with secure investments is an average person who\u2019s broke.<\/p>\n<p><em>*The articles were based on the writings of <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/jonathanbecher.com\/2014\/08\/17\/aerospace-engineers-guide-winning-tennis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Simon Ramo<\/em><\/a><em> and <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cfapubs.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.2469\/faj.v51.n1.1865\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Charles Ellis<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This article was first published in February 2016 and has been updated for freshness, accuracy and comprehensiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You need to understand yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, and then decide if that investment is for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[263,1,256,245,230],"tags":[337],"class_list":["post-21752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-etf","category-investment","category-lifestyle","category-reits","category-unit-trust","tag-robo-advisor"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How To Be A Good Investor: Play To Not Lose<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Too many of us invest in things we don\u2019t really understand and that could be the biggest downfall.
