Whether to choose A or B depen

Whether to choose A or B depends on when the investment journey begins. When I was young, I held a day job and had side income from royalties and some odd one-off jobs. This left me with little time and motivation to explore the world of investment. When older, with retirement looming, there are no energy for side gigs and I began to be aggressive on the investment front. However, time is not on my side and I cannot take risks at this age. This led to choosing B by default but still doing A (stock picking and investment in growth stocks) as a minor satellite portfolio.

In Investing, Would You Rather Build Skills or Take the Easy Route?

Recently, a programmer in Singapore shared his experience online after calling an electrician. The repair took just 40 minutes but cost him S$300, which translates to S$450 per hour. But look closer, high hourly pay ≠ high income. From an investing perspective, this looks a lot like high-volatility assets. Would you choose: A. To upskill yourself and take on side gigs? In investing: sharpen stock-picking ability to capture high-return stocks. B. To stick with your main job and easy way to get stable income? In investing: add high-dividend stocks, and reinvest dividends.
