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.

If you're planning to invest at least $20,000, here's how many members choose to recover the cost of Investing Accelerator while learning the strategy. This is how you can get Investing Accelerator for "free" and get the market to pay for it for you. (If you didn't finish the free training, click here: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/) 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 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. Link to schedule a call

Inflation last month was 4.2% year over year. This is mainly due to higher oil prices Bloomberg forecast this week's inflation is also 4.2% year over year. I think it's going to come in lower. Crude oil prices have been falling in June. My forecast for inflation this week is less than 4.2% which should boost the market higher. So last Friday, we adjusted the model Investing Accelerator to close off our hedge and go back to long. Hedging is a method we use to reduce drawdown if we think the market is going down. It is like buying insurance in case the market goes down. This is particular useful when the market is forming a top or when we think the market is turning around. Hedging is taught extensively in Investing Accelerator 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 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

Most investing mistakes aren't about picking the wrong stock. They're about what's happening in your head while you hold the right one. There are three mental traps that quietly sabotage good long-term investors: 📦 Boredom — Blue chip investing is supposed to be boring. But boredom makes people chase whatever's exciting this week, right when the boring plan was working fine. 📋 Negativity bias — Our brains are wired to notice the one red day, not the ninety green ones. That's why a portfolio can be up 12% for the year and still "feel" like it's losing. 🏗️ Rumination — Replaying a bad trade or a missed entry point over and over doesn't teach you anything new. It just keeps you anxious and more likely to make an emotional decision next time. None of these show up on a chart. They show up in your decisions. For myself, I will sometimes ruminate over hedging versus not-hedging in a given week - Like this week. I try to contain my boredom and novelty seeking to less than 20% of my portfolio. The rest for lack of a better word is "boring" The fix isn't more information — it's noticing which of the three is running the show before you act on it. Which one gets you the most — boredom, negativity bias, or rumination? Comment below. 👇
