What You’ll Receive as a Free Subscriber

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll receive in your inbox:

1. The Weekly newsletter

This is sent on Sundays. The Weekly includes the portfolio's performance and my thoughts for the week. The thought can be a stock idea, an opinion on the market, an investment philosophy, personal finance, or anything I believe would be of value to you. Everything is free except for the performance of each stock, which is under a paywall at the bottom of the Weekly.

You can find previous Weeklies here.

Here is a sample Weekly,

2. Occasional stock idea

A piece that would detail why I like or dislike a certain company, including a dissection of their strategy, stock valuation and risks.

1. Weekly stock performance

In Sunday Weeklies, I will include the performance of each stock in the portfolio. This will be at the bottom of the Weekly, behind a paywall.

2. Real-time buy/sell alerts in my portfolio

Whenever a position is added or sold in the portfolio, I will post the trade. I tend to send those notes between 10 am and 2 pm. The note will have a rationale behind the thesis. Those positions tend to stay in the portfolio for 6 months to 1.5 years, but I have had some that closed in 2 months and some that have been in my portfolio for 7 years (and are still open).

You can find my historical trade alerts here.

Once a month, I will send a detailed investment analysis for a company I am adding to the portfolio.

The paid plan pays for itself. Based on my average annual return, a $10,000 portfolio could cover the subscription cost for the year in just 15 days. If you go for the annual subscription, it gets even better. The subscription would pay itself in just 11 days. Remember that this is just my estimate, as past performance is not indicative of future results.
