Happy New Year! As 2023 is coming to an Amazing Close, I want to thankful for everyone who I've helped and helped me along the way. 2023 is an Amazing year. I've gone from having one long-term strategy to having both monthly passive income and long-term investing strategy in Investing Accelerator I've re-iterated monthly passive income 5 times to make it very solid. I've added momentum indicators in Investing Accelerator to filter out major bear markets (this makes investing so easy) I've added regular S&P 500 forecasts during the weekly coaching calls in Investing Accelerator to avoid any danger zones and to better predict bull markets I've dialed in monthly passive income strategies to avoid danger and generate more consistent profits. I've also solved a few major problems that I encountered throughout this year (including the earnings problem, peak problem, the $500,000 problem). These will be future upgrades for Investing Accelerator. I've also went from $250,000 to $800,000 from a single account in 2 months (That will be a story for another day). I've also got all the licensing exams needed to start my hedge fund. Most importantly, I am happy with my flexible schedule as an investor and my time spent with my family. Family before wealth. I will continue to work hard and apply my learnings in 2024.

As the year is coming to a close, I am happy to report my monthly passive income return is +50.8% this year. As of right now, S&P 500 return is +19.8%. Overall, this year - the monthly passive income strategy is more volatile than expected. I had to redesign and implement some new rules to further increase the profitability. While the advanced monthly passive income strategy offers a decent return, there are certain months where I would want to avoid using the strategy. Overall, I am done with monthly passive income trades this year and I will spend December planning for 2024.​ Have a great holiday.

Recently, someone in the free Invest & Retire community asked about whether it makes sense to invest in commodities. Here's the 200-year return for stocks vs bonds vs commodities (You can refer to the source here) What you will find is that stock makes around 6-10% which outperforms bonds. Stocks also outperform commodities as a whole. My theory is that the commodities supercycles led to big swings in the commodities prices in the last 100 years. ​This means that the best investment class is stock if you are able to withstand the volatility (and not panic) What about gold? ​​ Having said that, you may wonder if you can narrow it down to GOLD alone and see if it would be a positive return (since gold is limited right? It used to be the standard currency in the world) Gold price - inflation adjusted: Source​ 1915 - $600 ​2020 - $2000 This represents an annual increase of 1.5% in the last 105 years. This means investing in stocks still outperforms gold (5-10% > 1.5%) Having said that, it doesn't mean you can't make a positive return with commodities. I've successfully made 30% or more with gold companies, copper/zinc companies as well. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The key takeaway is that if you plan to invest in commodities-driven companies, you need to be better at timing the market and riding on the commodities supercycle in order to profit. It's not that you can't profit with commodities. It is that you need to be smarter and more careful.​ Cheers, Eric Seto, CPA, CIM --- In December, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing Investing Accelerator is designed for people without a financial background.
