Hello All, I am new to the option trading and used my margin account to open credit spreads. Now, the trades are against me and I do not have any more leverage to remain. I am very nervous and do not know what to do. Can someone help me to save from large losses(90k). Looking forward to hear back from community.

Merry Christmas! I recently visited Hong Kong Disneyland with my family. Here's a photo of my two kids plus my parents in Frozen - the new park area. There are a lot of things that I can be grateful for this year and also a few important things I am working towards.​​​​​ As I am writing this email to you, S&P 500 is at an all time high. A lot of the students in Investing Accelerator have done quite well with portfolio return over 30%+ ​My smart index fund strategy returned +55% My monthly passive income strategy returned +62% https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ ​Remember that there are ups and downs in the market. After all is said and done - the only important thing to me is spending time with my family and helping more people achieve financial freedom​​​ Whether that is learning how to invest yourself by joining Investing Accelerator, or getting 20.5% dividend by being an early investor to Investing Accelerator, we are all on the journey to become better. I expect 2025 to be another stellar year from late spring to summer time (March to July). Thus, you should aim to learn an investing strategy and focus on getting your portfolio allocated by January and February.​​​​ As for myself, I am on my own journey too. To raise $50 million to start a baby hedge fund with a target of 20% return dividned Then raise $200 million to become a moderate size hedge fund with a 20% return dividend. https://5mininvesting.com/free-demo-for-investors/ It is by no means an easy task but a worthwhile one which aligns with my mission. As I continue to become a better investor, my students in the program, my early investors and myself will become more and more free (both financially and mentally) I would consider this a win-win-win situation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Now I am off to Japan (Osaka and Toyko for 14 days).​​​ Cheers,

Just got position in GOOG with the exciting news. GOOG exceeded all time highs today, hold for long-term.

True freedom comes from the ability to make money no matter where you are. At the end of the day, if you can only make high income from one location but you can't travel and spend it, what's the point? That's what propelled me to study financial independence and retire early movement (and propelled me to develop all these investing strategies) So - WE ARE GOING ON VACATION!! My wife isn't too excited as we are bringing two kids to visit my parents in Hong Kong. It is going to be a lot of work. But - we will have fun nevertheless - giving her plenty of time to shop. Our trip goes from Hong Kong to Osaka to Toyko in 3 weeks. I have mixed in good food (grill, seafood, fish market, beef) to playgrounds (kid play are) to rest days (mainly for myself to take a breather). With a jammed pack holiday season, here are some tips to manage my portfolio while travelling: 1. Make it passive - I've allocated my portfolio to the smart index fund strategy and build up some cash reserve as the market is approaching a peak. 2. One trade a week - ​I focus on making one trade a week with monthly passive income and use a longer expiry date (60 days instead of 30 days) which requires even less effort ​on my end 3. Estimate expected gain - ​This is to forecast my expected gain on the portfolio and know when it is enough. With my strategy, I should be able to get around 5-10% for December as it is usually a good month. ​Knowing I should bring in around $20K to $30K from the portfolio gives me peace of mind. 4. Have fun - Keep the big picture in mind. There are some volatile events including inflation results and interest rate decisions. If you hold enough cash, you should generally do fine for December. ​​ ​​Ultimately, I aim to travel, manage the portfolio, get 20-30% return - at the same time.​​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In December, my goal is to help 10 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.
