Arigato, {{ first name | dear investor }},
When people first start investing, they usually hear the same advice:
"Just buy the S&P 500."
And honestly, it's not bad advice.
The S&P 500 has been one of the greatest wealth-building vehicles in history.
But here's what many investors don't realise:
ETF investing is so much bigger than just the S&P 500.
In fact, some ETFs have dramatically outperformed the S&P 500 this year.
For example:
📈 SCHD (Dividend ETF): +17%
📈 XLE (Energy ETF): +27%
📈 DRAM (Memory & AI ETF): +118%
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is up around 9%.
What's fascinating is that these ETFs represent completely different investing opportunities.
SCHD gives you exposure to quality dividend-paying companies that can generate passive income.
XLE allows you to participate in the energy sector without needing to pick individual winners.
DRAM gives exposure to one of the biggest investing themes of our generation — AI, data centres, cloud computing, and memory chips.
This is what I love most about ETF investing.
Instead of trying to predict which individual stock will become the next Nvidia, you can invest in an entire trend.
You don't need to be right about a single company.
You just need to be right about the direction of the industry.
And that's often a much easier bet to make.
But here's where it gets even more interesting.
Many investors think ETFs are only useful for long-term growth or collecting dividends.
That's only half the story.
For years, I've been combining ETFs with options strategies to generate additional cashflow from the same portfolio.
While many investors were simply watching the market move up and down, I've been using options to collect weekly income opportunities along the way.
In the past month alone, I've generated close to US$1,500 in options income from my ETF portfolio.
Not by chasing meme stocks.
Not by day trading.
Not by taking crazy risks.
Simply by using a systematic options strategy on quality ETFs that I already want to own.
That's why I often say:
Successful investing isn't just about choosing the right ETFs or stocks.
It's about learning how to make your portfolio work harder for you.
The combination of:
✅ Long-term ETF growth
✅ Options cashflow
has completely changed the way I invest.
It's also the exact framework I used to build my portfolio to over US$1 million.
If you'd like to learn this step-by-step, I'll be teaching everything inside my upcoming 3-Day Options to Freedom Bootcamp, where I'll show you:
✔ How to build a solid ETF portfolio for long-term wealth
✔ How to identify opportunities beyond the S&P 500
✔ How to generate consistent options income from ETFs
✔ How I personally spot and execute live trades
✔ How to avoid the common mistakes that cost beginners thousands
Most importantly, you'll see exactly how I combine ETFs and options together to create a portfolio designed for both growth and cashflow.
You'll walk away with a skillset that can serve you for decades.
Because investing isn't about finding the next hot stock.
It's about building a system that works year after year.
And ETFs are one of the best places to start.
Would love to have you join us,
and keep learning together—the Arigato way 💛
