TL;DR - I love this level of thinking! - Strategy isn't about doing more — it's about choosing what NOT to do, which is why risk management defines your actual investment strategy - Investing Accelerator teaches strategic frameworks, not just isolated tactics — the 80/20 results Eric shared prove systematic discipline beats random tips - True strategy = integrated approach where risk management isn't an add-on, it's the foundation that makes everything else work Strategy Is What You're NOT Doing Eric's hitting on something critical here that most investors completely miss. Richard Rumelt (author of Good Strategy Bad Strategy) famously said: "Strategy is at least as much about what an organization does not do as it is about what it does." Think about what that means for monthly income investing: Without Strategy (Tips & Tactics) - Chasing the next hot stock pick - Jumping between methods when something doesn't work immediately - Adding positions without clear rules - Reacting emotionally when trades move against you With Strategy (Investing Accelerator Approach) - NOT taking every trade opportunity — only rules-based setups - NOT abandoning positions at the first sign of trouble — using adjustment frameworks instead - NOT scaling without risk controls — capping position sizes and defining max loss scenarios - NOT operating without a system — following the same repeatable process weekly Why This Article Matters: Risk Management IS the Strategy Eric's 2025 results tell the real story: 35 trades, ~80% reached target without adjustment, ~20% required active management, +33% modeled return.

Adjustment protocols exist — when the 20% need intervention, there's a playbook 3. The system is repeatable — one trade per week, rules-based, not emotion-based 4. Flexibility is built-in — options allow redesigning risk/reward when you understand the trade-offs
