When I was working in KPMG Canada, US, Hong Kong, things are smooth. But when I am starting my own investment management firm, everything needs to be set up for the first time. After working on starting my own hedge fund and firm for over 12 months, I am still surprised how long each item takes to be properly executed. From creating the right firm with the right legal structure to opening a bank account for the first time, each step requires layers of approvals. The core investment management activity is already complex enough (e.g. making a prediction about the market and executing on it) And layering legal, tax, organizational structure, bank approvals... It makes sense why most people aren't entrepreneurs in the world It takes a special amount of grit and persistence to start something new​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ whether that is 1. a new venutre 2. a new fund 3. a new investment management entity 4. a new bank account 5. learning investing​ Doing things for the first time take longer than usual.​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In June, I’m helping 20 people to become better at investing through Investing Accelerator.

Hi Eric ... thoughts on this upcoming IPO in TSX? It's pharma for generic drugs.

Link: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/qqq-investors-sell-spacex-ipo-172258757.html ​"Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, which is considering a ‘Fast Entry’ provision allowing SpaceX to join after just 15 trading days instead of the standard three-month seasoning period" Essentially, the question we are trying to answer is: Is SpaceX IPO overvalued? With its ratios right now, yes it is Will index funds like QQQ be forced to buy it 15 days after IPO? Yes (compare to waiting 3 months before) This means there will be a surge of capital going from NASDAQ 100 QQQ into SpaceX 15 days after IPO So while I forecast insider will be selling the stock to cash out, this surge of cash from index funds will lead to maintaining SpaceX's volatile stock price. So the actual correction should come after the index funds buy in.​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In June, I’m helping 20 people to become better at investing through Investing Accelerator.

During a record bull market where everyone is making money, the most important thing you should do is... To stayvigilant. To stay hungry. Right now, we are riding a major semiconductor wave. But it is important that we don't getcomplacentwith our gains (even if those gains are in the millions)​​ ​​​In the typical boom bust cycle, we are in the boom phase. The bust phase isinevitable. Smart investors will always put some cash aside for the bust phase. That's why from time to time, I would take on a short position whenever I see danger. That's how I buy "insurance" in case the market goes down. Because it eventually will. ​ Cheers, Eric -- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In June, I’m helping 20 people to become better at investing through Investing Accelerator.
