In Investing Accelerator weekly coaching calls, we forecasted September to be overall bullish but I did warn of the first week of September to be bearish. Thus, we stayed conservative. In the weekly coaching call, I noted that the market is forming a W bottom and the turning point may be September 11 2024 inflation data relased. ​With a bit of luck, the market did form a W pattern which: 1. the presidential debate happened ​Sept 10 evening 2. the inflation data released on Sept 11 morning 3. We entered Sept 9 Monday where the market was still low While it is still too early to declare any victory, we must remain diligent. We are not going to be this lucky every time but we do our best to enter at a discoutned price.​​ ​Entering into the market at a good price is only half the battle. The second half is about exiting at a good price. The jump in stock price on September 11 already provided +10% return on some of my positions. But the key will come down to when to take profit.​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In September, my goal is to help 10 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.

Thoughts on LuLU QSR and AMd?

What are your thoughts on buying GOLD EtFs or physical GOLD as part of portfolio?

I understand you are bullish this year, for example like me, I'm trying to save money to get to a point to do MPI longterm. I find being an option buyer is too much chart monitoring for a full time employee and mom. I aslo choose to do long term investing. I often look at the charts to time when to do invest. like buy at red days. but im also scared as well of the "rumors" of "recession" or any potential turnaround. or if I really wish to do this long term. it wouldnt really matter I guess? I wish to look at bluechip stocks to or atleast do etf or mutual funds that have good long term trend.
