I often hear the younger generation says "the boomers had it easy. You can pick up a job, support a family and easily buy a house with low prices" Now the market is a lot more difficult We need degrees, large down payments etc to have the same lifestyle as before Instead of whining about it, the real question is - what are the boomer type easy opportunities today? If we look back 40 years from now, what are some obvious opportunities we cannot miss? Now - answering this question is not so easy, is it? Because we don't have the same hindsight as we attribute to boomers. But here are my best guesses: 1. Bitcoin - Limited in supply. The anti-government money 2. Semiconductor - The next 10 years of AI race will be based on chips and power 3. Solar / Nuclear power - To fully support the AI race, oil and coal wouldn't be enough. We need solar or nuclear power. 4. SpaceX type company - SpaceX is going IPO soon with a crazy valuation. Likely a ploy for insiders to dump shares at insane prices. But reusable rocket type companies will be the driver of next frontier innovation 5. Robotics / drone - Mostly China developed robots where it would automate manufacturing significant.​ What do you think? ​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In May, I’m helping 20 people build a retirement cashflow strategy using options.

After I closed the short position last week for a profit, I've switched back to long the market. Overall, the market is bouncing back up after the Monday scare. With a very good technical formation across tech companies, this is a good time to deploy excess cash to average into various discounted stocks in the market I mainly focus on blue chip companies as I like to play it safe More importantly, if the bear market lasts any longer, blue chip companies usually come back first. That's one of the main reasons I like blue chip companies the most - the ability to survive downturns.​ Here's the 33% discounted link to join Investing Accelerator for those who are ready.

Over the weekend, Iran's supreme leader was eliminated by US. In the last few months, the president of Venezuela was removed by US. Why are these two countries important? You might have guessed it. Oil. ​Iran produces and ships 13% of the oil to China. This is shipped through "shadow fleets" which are not publicly disclosed Venezuela ships 5% of its oil to China. While this is not a high number, the friendly relationship between Venezuela and China is important. Think of it like a backup oil suply. This represents almost 20% of China's oil imports (which is most likely understated, as no one in their right mind would honestly report about shadow oil deliveries) By controlling both Iran and Venezuela, ​this leads to China relying on Russia on oil and going to the public market to buy oil. If you searched up oil companies, they have been going up for the last 3 weeks (which is interesting given that the strike only happened this weekend) - cough cough, insider. ​The ​US's military movement on these countries creates an imbalance on power politically, but more importantly, this creates an oil supply shortage for non-Western countries. This will lead to a temporary spike in oil price (and oil companies' share prices) ​While China mainly relies on coal for electricity generation, a reduction in 20% (or even 30%) of its oil imports will slow down logistics and manufacturing In Investing Accelerator, we will analyze the macroeconomic and the stock market impact at a deeper and more detailed level. ​​That's why the weekly update on the overall market conditions is important. ​​​If you are interested in accessing my latest analysis coming this weekend during our regular update, you can join Investing Accelerator here and ACCESS my latest analysis.
