My wife will be giving birth soon. So I will be slower in terms of responding in the community. As we welcome a new member into our family, ​it is good to consider the plan for the next 20 years, especially university tuition. ​I expect the tuition cost will increase by at least 2-10x in the next 20 years (due to inflation and competition). This is why I plan to invest early when the child is between 0-5 to cover the university tuition when the child is 18. ​Based on my calculation, if I can put away $10,000 per year for the first 5 years of the child's life, it will take care of the university education and housing cost in the future using my long-term strategy. For such long-term strategy, you want to ensure it is a set-and-forget strategy. You want to ensure that the long-term average return meets your expectations (For example - I aim for 15-30% per year) While timing helps, it is more important you have the discipline to contribute early on ​and let compound interest work for you.​​​​​​​​​​ Are you thinking ahead for your children's future?​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Free webinar - how to get 30%: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ In May, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing.

Here's how I manipulated Lululemon's stock price and ensured it goes up from April onwards. (Joke) Just purchased: 1 - two pairs of Lululemon's shoes (Beyond feel - Very comfortable - recommend) 2 - one pair of Lululemon pants 3 - one Lululemon hat Now you know Lulu will beat earnings as my hard-earned money goes into the next quarterly revenue (and hopefully their quarterly profit). Follow me for more financial advice! Jokes aside - only buy Lulu when the momentum turns positive.​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Free webinar - how to get 30%: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ In April, my goal is to help 10 people without a financial background to master investing.

Previously, I entered into CROX before earnings and it was positive. My forecast for CROX was $150 by summer. Bank of America upgraded its forecast from $140 to $150. So I decided to take profit now. ​For shares, CROX increased by 30% For the options I used, my gain was 75% to 150%​ Hold duration - 1 month.​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Free webinar - how to get 30%: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ In April, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing.
