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 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

Taylor Swift said [In order to play the music and sing the song she loves, there's a lot of other work she has to do to get there] This phrase echoed with me as I prepare my first fund over the last 9 months. In essence, a fund is simple. I run machine learning models I place the buy / sell order in the platform. And I love it. But in order to do what I love that through a fund, the amount of legal, regulatory and tax considerations I have to go through stops 99% of the people to start a fund. For a private fund like the one I am starting, the net asset requirement is $2.7 million USD excluding your primary residence. Now, I am merely weeks from starting my fund I got my offering memorandum, subscription package, streamlining the onboarding process. My team sent out invitation to a small group of VIP investors / close contacts Now, I am just waiting to open a brokerage account with either Charles Schwab or Clear Street to start trading If you are interested in checking out my BranchPoint team and what we are offering, here's the website: https://branchpointfunds.com/ If you want to get a copy of the investor package, you can reply this email and I can connect you with my BranchPoint GP team and they can provide you with the access.

You can master all the charts, setups, and fundamentals, but if you don’t manage your emotions, your account won’t survive long. 💣 FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): You see the price pumping and jump in blindly. Ten minutes later... you're down 15% and have no idea what went wrong. 💰 Greed: You’re already in profit, but you want more. You skip taking profits and add to the position, and suddenly the market turns against you. What could’ve been a win becomes a painful lesson. 😬 Revenge Trading: After a loss, you feel the urge to "win it back." But that usually leads to a second, third, and even bigger loss. Trading isn’t a casino — chaos gets punished. 😡 Emotional Decisions: You’re mad at the market. Mad at yourself. Then, you enter a random trade, no stop-loss, full size. That’s not a strategy. That’s a meltdown. ❓ So what should you do? ✅ Stick to your trading plan; ✅ Feel emotional? Don't enter the trade! ✅ Keep a trading journal — log emotions + outcomes; ✅ Remember: The market owes you nothing.

It looks like both Israel and the US are hitting Iran. Markets likely to be volatile. Gold and Oil likely to spike until things settle.
