My wife will be giving birth soon. So I will be slower in terms of responding in the community. As we welcome a new member into our family, ​it is good to consider the plan for the next 20 years, especially university tuition. ​I expect the tuition cost will increase by at least 2-10x in the next 20 years (due to inflation and competition). This is why I plan to invest early when the child is between 0-5 to cover the university tuition when the child is 18. ​Based on my calculation, if I can put away $10,000 per year for the first 5 years of the child's life, it will take care of the university education and housing cost in the future using my long-term strategy. For such long-term strategy, you want to ensure it is a set-and-forget strategy. You want to ensure that the long-term average return meets your expectations (For example - I aim for 15-30% per year) While timing helps, it is more important you have the discipline to contribute early on ​and let compound interest work for you.​​​​​​​​​​ Are you thinking ahead for your children's future?​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Free webinar - how to get 30%: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ In May, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing.

I collected $1,010 premium this morning 3/11/24 by selling put on LULU with 3/22/24 expiration. Why: 1). @Eric Seto had posted that indicating he Forecast earning will be positive (earning call is around the corner 3/26/24) 2). $425 is below 11/27/23, support level of $427.73. Market is at $459ish. WOW already achieved the goal. Thanks Eric!

There's a saying that most people are unable to beat S&P 500. This is why learning how to calculate whether your investing strategy can beat the market is important. Sharpe ratio measures excess return divided by each unit of risk you take. If you achieve a high return but you take a lot of risk, it doesn't make it a great strategy (low Sharpe ratio). If you achieve a high return and you take very little risk, then it is a great strategy (high Sharpe ratio). In this video, I provide you with examples, benchmarks, and Excel formulas on how to calculate your own Sharpe ratio. https://youtu.be/8R04Q2k7JCQ Cheers, Eric --- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Free webinar - how to get 30%: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ In April, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing.

When the market (S&P 500) is at a high, what should you do? In this video, I outline 6 action steps for you to take. https://youtu.be/6eCKtbwg2Mg 1. Avoid investing in high risk loss making companies even if they are cheap 2. Reduce your leveraged positions and swap to non-leveraged indexes 3. DCA into indexes such as SPY and QQQ 4. Buy discounted stocks (example - LULU and AAPL) with an overall bullish outlook despite short term bad news 5. Build your cash position (10% or up to 30% max) 6.
