Maintaining a cash-rich business provides financial stability and flexibility to weather economic downturns, seize growth opportunities, and cover unexpected expenses. While minimizing taxes is important, depleting cash reserves solely for tax avoidance risks leaving the business vulnerable to cash flow crises or missed opportunities. A cash-rich business can invest in innovation, expansion, and employee development, fostering long-term sustainability and competitiveness. Strategic tax planning should prioritize preserving cash reserves while leveraging tax-efficient strategies to optimize financial health and minimize tax liabilities, ensuring a balance between tax optimization and prudent financial management. #cashflowplanning #taxplanning #businessowners

Assessment of Our Investment Strategy in Light of Recent Tax Changes Last year, we at Insiderpedia achieved 88% return (before fees & capital gain taxes) for our clients. This year, in the first seven months, we've already seen 82% gain. Our success has come from selecting momentum stocks with strong fundamentals, a strategy that has proven effective. With the recent budget announcement raising capital gains tax from 15% to 20%, I considered whether we should adjust our strategy to focus on holding investments for over a year to benefit from long-term capital gains. However, I concluded that we should stick with our current approach, which continues to yield excellent results. I believe that higher returns will offset any additional expenses. To evaluate our performance, we should calculate the XIRR after accounting for all fees and taxes. If the result is favorable, we should keep building wealth in the market without worrying about taxes. We aim for such high returns for our clients that even after paying taxes and fees, we still see significant profits!
