2023 was supposed to have been a bad year …
The narrative consistently scared people off investing (as it always does).
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is one of the chief scaremongers. Remember, he has predicted 17 of the last 2 crashes!
Now the reality: Here’s what actually happened in 2023 …
Tech/Ai shares (which we flagged early on) were even better performers.
Options Income did predictably well. Many of my past students had a strong year – with one generating 55%.
(Before rushing out to buy the S&P500 index or Tech Stocks – be careful of ‘recency bias‘. As flagged to past attendees, 2024 could see rotation into specific markets and sectors that underperformed in 2023).
Don’t forget, these returns came in a “bad” year which had:
- The highest inflation for 40 years
- The highest interest rates for 15 years
- Recession fears
- 2 major global conflicts: Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Gaza
Robert Kiyosaki kept messaging – like this tweet below which is typical of how he gets publicity! Btw, the market rose 22% since this tweet
2 things commentators don’t understand:
#1. Shares are driven by one thing only: Company Profits. You buy the best companies around the world, which have one objective: to maximise profits.
Companies exist for shareholders: you and I.
The reality is that company profits continuously grow – as reflected in the growth of stockmarkets over time.
Commentators don’t get this. Worse, they trade the newsflow – i.e. point 2 …
#2. They try market-timing (trading). Consistently missing the gains. Even worse, they recommend useless things like stop-losses.
A stop-loss is like asking your estate agent to automatically sell one of your properties when it dips by 5 or 10%.
Serious investors, like Warren Buffett, know that stop-losses often force you to sell at precisely the wrong time

FAQs on the Investment Academy …
– I’ll be away for some of the course – will classes be recorded for catch-up?
Every live class and module is recorded and can be accessed anytime for easy catch-up.
– Can my SSAS pay for the training? (Or Ltd Company)
Yes. Many attendees in our previous programme had the cost paid for by their SSAS. The easiest thing is to initially pay using your own credit card and then provide a Recharge Invoice to your SSAS administrator who can arrange for the SSAS to reimburse you (we will provide you a Recharge Invoice template). Alternatively, many attendees have paid via their Ltd company.
– After completing the programme what ongoing support is there?
We have a private Facebook group for past and present attendees only. This is an active group where you can ask for guidance on any of the training elements or other investment related issues.
You also qualify for a 1-1 private coaching session on any topic(s) as pert of the bonus package (shown above)
– Is there other content apart from financial markets?
We have an entire module on property-related loans and P2P platforms – how to select safer opportunities by using our due diligence framework and avoiding the red flags (more info in the email copied below)
– Can I ask questions before booking?
Yes of course. If you have any questions, book a 15-min call to learn if the programme is right for you.
