Last week, during the Investing Accelerator weekly coaching call, my forecast for this week is bearish. In the long term portfolio, we added a hedging position - buying some SQQQ shares. This means when NASDAQ 100 is going down, SQQQ would go up. This week, SQQQ has gone up 9.26% in 3 days. Overnight Wednesday is still going up (as the overall market is going down). Why? I explained this in last Friday's Oct 9 2026 coaching call. 1. Inflation is 3.7% led by high oil price in September. 2. This leads to a higher likelihood of interest rate increase 3. This means tech valuations is going down (especially semi conductors) The coaching call will be taken off this Friday as I am recording a new one. So if you want to watch it and learn, you need to watch it before this Friday market close. (Oh - I also extended the early bird pricing for the VIP plan back down to $99 / mo. I know some of you wanted to upgrade but couldn't as the deal expired. I extended it for you) The key question is whether or not we will keep the SQQQ position for one more week. So let's see what's happening with Thursday / Friday. Then we can talk about it during the October 16 2026 coaching call Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto, CPA, CIM ex-KPMG Auditor and Lecturer Founder of 5MinInvesting.com 📚 So here are the investing resources.
