Video Overview

The writer is gradually recovering roughly US$2.6 million of available capital. Some has already arrived, while another fixed-income position returns money monthly. Watching QQQ rise creates anxiety about missing a lower entry point, so the writer decides to focus on executing the plan, buys BOX, QQQ, and QLD, and removes the trading system to reduce emotional interference. The letter summarizes current positions as US$1.08 million in QQQ, US$800,000 in QLD, and US$250,000 in BOX. Using an estimated total of US$3.23 million, the speaker calculates that cash and fixed-income holdings total about US$800,000, below his target under the 433 allocation. He therefore proposes adding at least US$200,000 to BOX, putting the remainder into QQQ, and not increasing QLD. These figures and actions are specific to the case.

Key Takeaways

  • Anxiety about rising QQQ prices leads the writer to execute the existing allocation plan and remove the trading system to reduce distraction.
  • The letter lists QQQ, QLD, BOX, and pending recoveries, with an overall objective of building a 433 allocation.
  • The speaker estimates a cash shortfall, proposes adding at least US$200,000 to BOX, and opposes increasing the QLD position.

True security is not having no debt, but always having cash on hand
