729 - Mark made 15% to 54% from ISRG in 3 months In the last 3 weeks, I lost 4.4 KG. How? - I fasted. Fasting is about not eating (exercising restraint) for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window. This allows your body to rest and also lowers your insulin level. ​By combining fasting with eating hard-boiled eggs (2 eggs) for one of the meals, I lost 4.4 KG. Why it works? Fasting lowers your insulin level, allowing your body to rest and consume fat instead of the food you're eating. If you are always eating​, your body can't consume fat. Eating 2 eggs for one of the meals allow your body to absorb protein with low oil content (instead of pan-fried eggs which I love). This ​is an example where you feed yourself good food first instead of fast-food. After doing a lot of analysis, fasting is similar to how I invest. For my investing strategy to be successful, I hold cash 38% of the time in the market. Of course, everyone makes money during the bull market. Thus, investing is about avoiding and taking advantage of bear markets. Holding cash is not a bad thing as it allows you to rest (similar to fasting) and re-enter at the best time. To understand how powerful timing is.... ​​ If you can avoid one bear market, you can double your return.​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 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 10 people without a financial background to master investing.

774 - Maria made 48% from SOXL in 3 months Today, I attended one of my best friends' weddings. I felt incredibly happy for them, as marriage signals the beginning of a new journey. A journey may be long, difficult, and full of sadness and happiness, but it is a beautiful journey where two people decide to go on together. ​In life, often times - we don't get everything we want. Maybe you wanted to have a few million dollars before you can retire. Maybe you wanted to retire at 25 (like me) but it has been delayed till now Maybe you wish you learned more about financial markets and how to generate monthly income from it. Whether or not you succeed in the end - remember it is important to enjoy the journey. I am grateful for all the hardships and problems I have encountered. It has ultimately made me a better person and improved my strategy significantly. Challenges are what led me to data-driven investing, AI-powered investing and ultimately creating various models to improve my portfolio return (remember my target is 30% or higher) Without hardships and failures, none of the improvements would happen. I am grateful for the journey and I look forward to continuing my mission: helping people without a financial background to master investing.

You can have everything you want in life, just not all at once. [Betty Friedan] I am in my mid-30s, and I am at the stage where I am building my family. In addition, I am also building a portfolio management business and also building a future hedge fund. Based on my rough calculation, family and wealth are a 10-20-year project (at least until the kids leave the house). ​​ ​While I am not filthy rich by any means, today I possess a type of wealth that money can't buy - family. ​When I am "rich", I am sure I can buy a super nice car, a bigger house or a private jet. But I don't think I can buy more time with my family today. Another quote I like from Warren Buffett who keeps his schedule mostly free, "time is the only thing I can't buy with money"​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In October, my goal is to help 10 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.

How can you integrate these analyses into your day-to-day trading or Strategies?🤔🤔🤔

For covered call selling (aka PMI) lovers: UNG offers 5% a month on at-the-money calls. Be careful though, it can move fast. For those who is new to nat gas: storage is like 40% above 5-year average, but production is falling and demand is EXPECTED (translation: it is speculation) to rise. Hence high implied volatility, reflected in the high option premium. 0834 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are extending last week's bounce off technical support, backed by LNG feedgas demand and prospects of more power-sector use as Texas weather heats up. "If LNG can edge higher, a boost from laggard Henry Hub physical pricing may reinforce upward momentum for Nymex gas," Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics says in a note. Also supportive is the decline in natural gas rigs, which fell by 3 last week to 102, according to Baker Hughes. "Producers have shed 19 rigs in 11 weeks, and the trend is likely to continue," Rubin says. Natural gas for June delivery is up 1.9% at $2.183/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com) P.S. I have a large position in NatGas and am losing big $ today on the three-day runup 😪. I have been biased short thinking the spike last week was a short covering and will exhaust itself.
