Yeah, but...

Arigato, dear investor,

Yesterday, I met up with my friend Mindy and her boyfriend over coffee. They’re both new to investing, and naturally, we started talking about how to get started.

Mindy’s boyfriend shared a challenge I’ve heard from so many people:
“I’m waiting for a big market crash before I invest my money. But it’s taking forever, and I don’t know how long I need to wait.”

He’s not alone. Timing the market feels like a smart move—waiting for that perfect moment to dive in. But here’s the reality: most people trying to time the market never truly start investing.

When the market’s up, they tell themselves, “I’ll wait for it to drop.”
When it finally drops, they say, “It’ll drop further, so I’ll wait some more.”
And while they wait, their money sits idle, missing out on the growth they could have been building all along.

I shared this perspective with them and showed them my ETF portfolio. In the last 6 months, it’s grown by double digits—and I haven’t had to do much at all.

They were shocked.

Then, I explained how I use options to increase my returns safely. It was an eye-opener for them. For the first time, they realized investing doesn’t have to be complicated or risky.

The moral of the story? Don’t wait. Anyone can start investing today.

Investing is about time in the market, not timing the market. Don’t let another day pass by waiting for the “perfect” moment—it doesn’t exist.
