I/O Fund – Special Webinar – June 16, 2022 – The Next Kings of Tech

In this webinar, Beth and Knox will discuss the companies most likely to be in the Top 5 World’s Most Valuable by 2030.

The technology industry is unique in that it not only produces one of the world’s most valuable companies, but it claims all five of these names. Not even the most recent selloff has changed that. We will first discuss how the FAANGs became the FAANGs and how we can repeat this rise on the stock market for the new wave of world’s most valuable by 2030. 

We want to equip our Members with clear and concise information so you know exactly how to structure your tech investments.

Webinar Replay – I/O Fund Hedging Strategy

I/O Fund – Market Update – May 12, 2022 – Broad Market Levels, Hedging Strategy

Watch Knox's webinar replay as he discusses the price action and setups for the Broad Market Levels, and our Hedging Strategy

We understand these times are stressful and please know we are in the trenches with you. Over the past few years, Knox was using a popular hedge that created too much whipsaw for the average investor to follow. This means the number of times an investor needed to enter/exit was far too great for someone with a full-time job or a less active style to follow. 

In January, Knox reached out to Vincent Duchaine on our site to build a hedging system that would protect our members in steep drawdowns. Knox was working overtime on figuring out how to take care of the community and he recognized that Vincent, a robotics engineer, would potentially make a great partner. This kind of critical thinking occurs precisely because it’s also our money on the line and the analysts on our team have nothing less than an enormous amount of concern for the stock investors on our site. We are always thinking of how we can improve – for your portfolio’s sake and for our portfolio’s sake.  

The hedging system went live about 2 and ½ weeks ago and it’s been working as intended. I want to emphasize it’s for the less active investor, the long-term buy and hold investor, the investor who has a full-time job and those who cannot trade every day. It was designed to reduce whipsaw and our hope is that even the more conservative/LTBH investors on our site watch the webinar replay above.

Please note, we do believe growth will come back, as we have been net buyers in high quality stocks that are participating in critical growth and technology trends. We also believe that the hedge signal Vincent has designed for tech portfolios will be an invaluable signal to better manage risk when the next drawdown happens, and further help members raise cash, as well as prepare for whatever the market brings us next.
