People grow over time. Sometimes willingly. Sometimes unwillingly (market forces you to grow). As a trader/investor/entrepreneur, we all go through various growth lifecycles. Most people think that being a profitable trader is the end of the journey (which I thought so as well... ​But I was wrong. Being a profitable trader is not the end of the journey. A profitable trader develops himself as an edge where he manages his own emotions, knows the market well and is able to analyze the market from experience. ​ However,​​​​ a profitable trader can suffer emotionally from high-stress environment and always taking in a lot of information to anticipate the next step of the market. ​This leads to mistakes and potential losses because a profitable trader can become emotional and loses his edge. The next step after being a profitable trader is to "productize" yourself. Instead of intuition, a profitable trader would turn his "system" into rules (hence rule-based investing) A profitable trader would develop constraints / find specific market conditions where he is profitable, such that it reduces his thinking (hence repeatable edge) ​Until a profitable trader completely removes himself from analyzing the market every minute, he is not truly free, and his edge wouldn't last. ​​​​​​​​ ​ ​Once a profitable trader fully systemize his strategy, the next phase of growth begins and he also realizes he doesn't need to trade himself anymore - the system does it for him. ​​​​​​​ So here's the BOXING DAY discount to join Investing Accelerator, where you get an interest-free instalment over 12 months & 33% discount off the regular price: https://5mininvesting.thrivecart.com/boxing-day/ After you join, you can schedule a general Q&A session to ask questions about the program materials and how to apply the concepts you’re learning.

The job of an investor is to avoid the bear market. This sounds counterintuitive because we are all taught "we just need to buy and hold. Time in the market is better than timing the market." ​However, we also need to explain the following: "Why does Warren Buffett have such a large pile of cash as one of the most successful investors?" "Why does Michael Burry take on large short positions against the AI bubble?" "Why do people wait for Black Friday to buy and buy more during heavily discounted periods?" The answer is simple and obvious. It pays to time the market correctly. If you hold cash and wait till Black Friday, things go on sale by 20, 30, or even 50%.​​​ If you hold cash and wait for a crash, company shares go on sale by 20, 30, or even 50%. That's why I focus on buying blue chip stocks at a discount. This is why Warren Buffett has a very large cash pile. This is why patience pays when it comes to investing and... ​Your job as an investor is to have cash when the bear market happens. Right now, the market is still bullish. So we are all in it for the Santa rally until we see a bearish catalyst.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So here's the BOXING DAY discount to join Investing Accelerator, where you get an interest-free instalment over 12 months & 33% discount off the regular price: https://5mininvesting.thrivecart.com/boxing-day/ After you join, you can schedule a free one-on-one call to ask any questions you have about your life, your situation, and retirement.

This post is for people who have more than $20,000 to invest. This is how you can get Investing Accelerator for "free" and Get the market to pay for it for you. So here's how you can get the investing strategy to pay for the tuition of the program from the second month onwards. Secret: You start with the monthly passive income strategy first. 1. You hop on a call with me (or Michael) to see if you are a good fit. If you are, you will get to choose a 12 month payment plan for Investing Accelerator. Link to schedule a call: https://bit.ly/3WitxVE 2. This allows you to start investing and generating monthly passive income starting from month #2. 3. You go through the 7-week video training. It takes around 4 hours a week. If you got time, you can go through it faster. 4. You start with the monthly passive income strategy. You set up your account with your favorite broker. My favourite is Interactive Broker (IBKR). 5. You fill out a form to get the highest option level (required for monthly passive income) 6. I publish my monthly passive income trades monthly. At the end of 7 weeks, you copy 2 of the trades each month. Placing the trade should take you around 15-30 mins each month. 7. With $20,000 * 3% = $600 per month, this will pay for the tuition cost each month with money left over. Since this is a short-term strategy, you can deduct the tuition expense against your trading income. 8. By the end of 12 months, the market would have paid the entire Investing Accelerator tuition with $1,000 extra left over or more. It's that simple. If you plan to join Investing Accelerator, I expect you to just follow 1-2 of my trades each month for monthly passive income and let the market pay the tuition.​​ Cheers, Eric Seto, CPA ------------- Investing Accelerator is designed for people without a financial background.

When you try to become a better person than you are yesterday, you will ultimately encounter roadblocks and challenges. Roadblocks don't mean that you stop. But it is simply a path you must traverse. Oftentimes, when I am doing something difficult, it feels like there's a shortcut or a quicker path. However, the reality is the path I am travelling on is the shortest, quickest path. Speed is determined by how quickly you resolve your roadblocks. When it comes to investing, people get discouraged when the market is going down. However, the market is volatile, and it is not about you. 50% of the time it goes up and 50% of the time it goes down. So when you are investing last month but you didn't make a big profit, some might be discouraged by such result. ​But what if gains and losses are part of life? What you are looking for is not a 100% win system but rather a system that wins more than you lose. And your ability to persist even when the market is going down, while you truly understand your edge and why you make money, is what separately successful investors from not-so-successful ones.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Some of you couldn't join with the Black Friday discount last month.

This week is pretty bearish so far. When the market is doing well, your stocks go up and my hedge fund goes up as well. There's not many opportunities ​that a hedge fund can outperform the market when the market is very bullish. You can only beat the market during a bull market with either leverage or better stock selection (which the latter is much harder than it looks) During a bear market, this is where my hedge fund will shine. During a bear market, we first hold cash. This means if S&P 500 -5%, we will be down 0%. This generates better than market return by 5% simply by holding cash during bearish weeks. Second, we take on a short position. This means if our short position makes +5%, we will be +5% vs S&P 500 -5%. Hence, we would be +10% ahead.​​​​​​ ​​ Currently, we have taken on a short position.​ These are the bearish weeks where we can get ahead of the market. ​ This is why Mark Cuban said everyone is a genius during a bull market. Because the real test comes from bear markets. ​​ Here's the early Black Friday discount to join Investing Accelerator, where you get an interest-free instalment over 12 months & 33% discount off the regular price: https://5mininvesting.thrivecart.com/black-friday After you join, you can schedule a free one-on-one call to ask any questions you have about your life, your situation and retirement.
