8 Years on Interactive Brokers. How did i fare?

Seen a good amount of people posting their returns in chats so gonna post here for fun since it is has been 8 years since i use IBKR. Across these 8 years, i only used IBKR to buy HK Shares. It is only recently i realised you can use shares bought on IBKR to go for AGMs.


At the end of the day no matter what returns is achieved by whoever, to myself the more important thing is to focus on the business of the companies and trying to find out if they can do well and what the odds of them doing well while what are the pitfalls and the odds of the pitfalls occuring then linking back to the company's business and financial numbers. That is more important than asking 'how to count cagr accurately' 'whether to include dividend reinvested' or 'how to count xirr' or 'how to account for deposits and withdraws and dca'

If you ask me what is the main success recipe, i will say K-POP. Folks might think i am joking but i think i have said a lot of times before that it is the main driver of my motivation to do well.
