In the last 2 weeks, we saw major funds pouring capital into the market leading to S&P 500 / NASDAQ 100 to all time high again Oil (refer to my previous email) reached a top of $100-120 and now coming back down Various blue chip stocks are near the bottom of the support zone ​with earnings season just around the corner (this week) We also had the classic Q1 performing poorly and had a correction early on this year.​​​​ The amount of capital pouring into the market in the last few weeks wouldn't be reversed easily. What does this mean? It means we are about to head into a multi-month bull run. So - get ready :) best of luck!

As we go through this week, expect a lot of volatility with Fed's interest rate decision along with major tech earnings. Here's what I am watching: 1. Despite all the negative news, I am overall bullish on Fed 2. I don't expect Fed to lower the interest rate but it should maintain its stance and the market will continue to go up 3. I am watching AAPL and MSFT earnings ​​​​​​​​as I am bullish for them 4. GOOGL is fairly high - I would only watch and not invest 5. Ultimately, if you are worried about earnings, then buy before and after earnings 6. If you are investing in indexes, usually the positive and negative effect of earnings in individual stocks cancel out​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In February, my goal is to help 20 people with no financial background to learn long term investing and monthly passive income strategies for retirement.

Here's an interesting piece of data for you. If you can hold cash at least 30% of the time, you can at least 2x your return. Investing: 61% Cash: 39% This is the data I analyzed for the last 4 years on how often you should hold cash. I was surprised at how high the number is. I realized I wasn't holding enough cash. In other words, investing is about avoiding the down weeks much more than catching the up weeks.​ ​​Are you holding enough cash?

I am about to go ALL CASH for one of my portfolio (the aggressive one). When deciding on how much cash you want to hold, you need to determine the kind of portfolio it is. For my kids' portfolio, I leave it alone. I contribute. I invest once a year. I leave it alone for 20 years. Done. For my active portfolio, I get in and out of the market based on various technical and fundamental analyses.​ ​So the question is - how much cash should I hold? The better question is - The Fed looks like it is about to cut rates - how much are you willing to wait around?​​​​​​​​​​​ When I change the question to "how much are you willing to wait around?" I believe my desire to hold cash greatly increase. I think a reasonable % as cash should be between 20% to 50%, given this is a recessionary year. For this specific active portfolio, I will go 100% cash.​ We are CLOSE to the top but not yet - we might still have one to two more weeks remaining. But I am not going to wait around much longer for that.
