WOW - this morning - I got an email from Charles Schwab. For the last few weeks, we have been applying to make our private US fund custodian by Charles Schwab platform. Charles Schwab is famous for holding alternative investments like private funds, hedge funds etc. But it is not easy to get on their platform. After completing their due diligence process, we are finally ON! This means qualified investors can now use their Schwab IRA / Roth accounts to hold my fund's units directly in Charles Schwab. This also means distributions can be directed deposited into the Charles Schwab IRAs as well. This will save a step of setting up a new IRA account with AltoIRA, which makes our lives a lot easier.​ (US Accredited investors: For people who want me to invest for you, you can learn about my private fund here: https://branchpointfunds.com/) Cheers, Eric --- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Whether you're retiring with $50K or $500K, the right strategy depends on how much capital you're working with. Investors with millions can often live on conservative investments like GICs or CDs. But if you're trying to generate meaningful monthly cash flow from a few hundred thousand dollars, you'll likely need a more capital-efficient approach. That's exactly what we teach inside Investing Accelerator. You'll learn how we combine long-term investing with an options strategy designed to generate recurring cash flow from companies like Apple, Microsoft, Visa, and Mastercard—using just one trade per week. Our goal is to design strategies that use $20,000 to $300,000 to reach your retirement income goal.

The market is turning bearish. We are currently on the edge of a bear market - just waiting for a teeny tiny push downwards which would trigger a much more bearish week So we will observe Friday's final closing price If we are going lower on Friday, then it is a good idea to hold more cash and even some hedge positions If we are able to stabilize above the current support level, then next week can still be bullish. But things aren't looking too good.​ Cheers, Eric ----- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Whether or you are retiring with $50K, $100K, $300K or more, it is important to figure out the right strategy for you. For people with lots of capital, they can afford to throw it all into CDs / GICs and earn a low 2-3% return. However, if you are looking to generate cashflow with a few hundred thousand, then you would need to look deeper You need to find a more capital efficient strategy and still achieve your target monthly cashflow (for retirement or simply working less) In Investing Accelerator, you will learn two strategies: First, we focus on buying options to buy discounted stocks to multiply our profits for long term gains (Here's the sample module of Investing Accelerator - Free Chart Course: https://5mininvesting.com/free-chart-course) Second, we focus on selling options to generate interest premium which serves as a more predictable stream of cashflow We use these strategies on blue chip companies like Apple, Microsoft, Visa, Mastercard etc We place 1 trade a week for monthly passive income to smooth out our cashflow This allows us to split the portfolio into 2 parts 1. Low risk low return with index funds or bonds 2. Higher return higher risk cashflow generating option strategy If you are interested, you can schedule a call and ask any questions you have: https://bit.ly/48mJlgR
