Dear Astronauts,
I want to personally congratulate each of you for enrolling in Red Moon Academy. Your commitment to learning about investing and financial markets marks an important first step toward building lasting wealth and financial independence.
The journey we are about to begin is more than just trading stocks – it's about taking control of your financial future. As we will discuss in class, building sustainable wealth often comes through patient, long-term investing. The data is clear: investors who buy quality stocks and hold them for 10+ years have historically achieved significantly better returns than those who frequently trade or remain on the sidelines. Warren Buffett didn't become successful through day trading, but through thoughtful investments held for decades.
I feel particularly compelled to address a concerning reality we face: the significant wealth gap that persists in our society, especially among minority communities. Studies show that only 34% of Black Americans and 24% of Hispanic Americans invest in the stock market, compared to 61% of white Americans. This disparity in market participation has contributed to an ever-widening wealth gap – one that compounds over generations. When communities don't participate in market growth, they miss out on building generational wealth through one of history's most powerful wealth-creation tools.
However, you are now going to be positioned to help change this narrative. You will have the knowledge to not only invest wisely for yourself but to educate your children too. This is where the real power lies – in building a community of financially literate individuals who can support and guide each other. Every person you help understand investing creates a ripple effect that can transform families for generations to come.
I challenge each of you to take decisive action:
Start investing immediately, even if it's just $50 per month
Create a detailed 10-year investment plan and stick to it
Share your knowledge with your children
Join Red Moon investment club to maintain accountability and continuous learning
Mentor someone who hasn't had access to financial education
Remember, financial freedom isn't just about personal wealth – it's about creating lasting change in our communities. You will learn the tools to make that change happen. The question is: Will you use them?
I believe in each of you and your ability to create lasting financial success. My door remains open if you need guidance along your journey.
Here's to your financial future,
Your Boy, RHJ
TO THE MOON 🔴
P.S. - Keep in mind that successful investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay focused on your long-term goals, and don't let short-term market volatility shake your confidence.

The Primary Stage: Launching Your Investment Journey
Just as a rocket's primary stage provides the monumental initial thrust to break free from Earth's powerful gravitational pull, the foundational steps in learning to invest offer the critical momentum needed to escape financial limitations and propel you towards your economic goals.
Think of it this way:
Ignition & Fuel
In rocketry, the ignition of massive engines consumes vast amounts of fuel, generating the sheer force required for liftoff. In investing, this "ignition" is your decision to start, and your "fuel" is your initial capital – even small, consistent savings – combined with a thirst for knowledge.
Breaking Gravity's Hold
The primary stage fights against the immense force of gravity, building velocity until the rocket achieves escape velocity. Similarly, your early investment education and initial contributions combat financial inertia and the gravitational pull of immediate gratification, setting you on a trajectory of growth.
Guidance & Trajectory
While the primary stage propels, onboard guidance systems ensure the rocket stays on course. For investors, this translates to acquiring fundamental knowledge: understanding compound interest, diversification, risk management, and setting clear financial objectives. These are your navigational tools for a successful journey.
Without a powerful primary stage, a rocket remains grounded. Without a solid understanding of investment fundamentals and consistent initial effort, your financial aspirations might never leave the launchpad. Embrace these first steps with the same resolve as a rocket commander, and watch your financial future soar.
