More than 20 Years of Blogging

Dear all,

This blog is more than 20 years old! My first post for this blog was in 7th October 2004. How time files. I wonder how many of my readers who started to read my first blog post in 2004 is still around supporting this blog currently.

Over the years, many blogs come and go. With the advent of social media, more and more are creating content on other platforms rather than on blogs, which explains the decline of financial bloggers in this space. I have not switched to other platforms, and has decided also to keep this blog original to its intent and not made any changes to its layout. My main intention in setting up this blog is to really share my investment journey with everyone. Earning money from it is not my main aim and I have so far declined any sponsored posts on this blog. 

A big thank you to you if you are still supporting this blog after all these years. A big shout out to all my silent readers out there too. You know who you are, and thanks for journeying with me all these years together with my investment portfolio. Through the years, I have made some changes to my investment portfolio. If you had been following my monthly updates, I have become more defensive in my portfolio positioning as I grow older. Also, the number of stocks in my portfolio had came down throughout the years, and I am now trying to run a more focused portfolio of stocks. Though the number is still large, it will slowly come down going forward.

For those who have left comments on my blog posts, thanks for your support and encouragement. I hope that my replies make sense to you and keep your comments coming so that we can continue to learn together in this journey. Will this blog be around for another 20 years? Personally, I don't think so. But as far as possible, I would like to keep it going if I still have the ability and energy to continue blogging. Hopefully, this blog will still be around and active for many more years to come.

Once again, thank you for your support and hope to continue to see you around here regularly.
