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.

As most of us are going on holiday, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 2025 has been a volatile year from tariff wars, AI bubble to the semi-santa rally. I've spent the year revising and refining my research framework through each bearish wave, learning something new each time. 2026 will be an interesting year as I launch new ventures and expand into the hedge fund space with my machine learning investing strategy. I believe the key success factor to achieve your goals is to continue to try and hack away at a problem until you are there. So I wish you Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

When it comes to achieving better returns, you learn more from failures than successes. As I prepare to launch my US hedge fund in 2026, ​I am developing and redeveloping my AI investing strategy. I start with Alpha 1.0 The model makes money - I let it keep running The model loses money - I revisit the data and make adjustments Then I have Alpha 1.1 The model makes money - I let it keep running (well - we don't fix what's not broken) The model loses money - I revisit the data and make adjustments Then I have Alpha 1.2 This process continues until I reach 20% return and it is ready to be deloyed into the hedge fund. I teach the same techniques and insight in the Investing Accelerator. That's why the strategy gets refreshed and updated over time. ​Every time we have a losing trade, we examine the problem, revise the strategy and come back with a higher success rate. In other words, we keep learning and improving until we succeed​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Cheers, Eric --- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In August, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.

Last week, the market overall went down but bounced back after Powell's speech hinting at a September rate cut. ​While the market is optmisitic, we observe an overall rotation of money out of the top 100 stocks in the market into the rest of the market. This usually happens when funds take profit from the leaders (e.g. AAPL MSFT etc) and rotate them into safe stocks such as energy and utility. As a result, the overall market would go down. Thus, I am bearish for this week too. ​​ ​​ Cheers, Eric ----- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In September, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.

One of the members on Invest & Retire community asked - exactly what my top 10 portfolio holdings are to achieve +53% return in May? Turns out - there's less than 10 holdings. For the Investing Accelerator portfolio you see above, it is in preparation for my upcoming hedge fund in 2026. This is an index fund strategy where I use a variety variations of QQQ. QQQ, QLD, TQQQ, SQQQ (which includes major blue chip tech companies to leveraged version of QQQ and short version of QQQ) I am trading the technology market using AI (ironic? haha) ​In May, the overall market went up and I was able to long and short at relatively good times, which resulted in +53% gain. There is a saying that - Anyone is a genius in bull makret​​​​​​​ - this statement is only partially true. ​Your goal is to make more money than buy and hold during bull market using some form of leverage And your second goal is to avoid a bear market as much as you can. You can't avoid 100% of the bear market. But you should try to avoid 50-75% of the bear market. What does this mean? This means the real test is coming in the upcoming bear drop in the next 60-90 days. Let's see how much of the bear market we can avoid successfully and then buy back at a low.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In June, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.
