The letter for investors ready to beat the market

Welcome fellow stock investor,

I’m Alan, an equity analyst and investor.

If you

  • enjoy picking individual stocks
  • don’t have the knowledge or time for full-scale research
  • love non-mainstream ideas
  • aim to beat the market over the long-term with less risks

my newsletter is for you!

My members frequently receive my best stock ideas in concise 12-page research reports and frequent one-page updates that tell you everything important to know.

Every case is easy to understand. I believe the best stock ideas are the simplest.

Stock picking is not just picking stocks, it’s about not picking certain stocks

My approach is to view each stock as a true business. I’m focussing on limited risks and decent to high reward situations – keeping risks low is the key to succeed.

My toolbox consists of strict fundamental analysis, common sense, unemotional patience, return-oriented valuations and the firm belief that the best stock ideas are often the simplest – not complexity and not chasing hypes.

My numbers prove stock picking works. Regularly and transparently, I do show my performance (my members see individual numbers for all my published ideas).

Performance per 08 November 2024 closing (first idea published in August 2022). Every idea individually runs against both benchmarks. I then determine the average performance. Data from Yahoo Finance.

What does qualify me? I have been active in the markets for more than 13 years. Before I started this blog, I worked in auditing and equity analysis. Yet, most of my knowledge is self-taught and experience. And a good nose maybe.

Why do I operate this blog? I created this site for open-minded stock pickers who love discovering new, but fundamentally solid equity ideas. I am passionate in what I do for my readers and members.

My motto? Know what you own and why! In my view, everyone should know what's exactly in one's portfolio. Every thesis should be easily explainable.

Want to know more about my research process? Just sign up to my free newsletter so that I can send you my special report – 100% for free, no obligations. As a second bonus, you will also receive a full research report to see what you can expect from me as a member.

Are you tired of being driven by fear and greed when investing in the stock market?

Buying high and selling low despite reading long-only analyses of overhyped stocks, hoping for hopeless turnarounds to turn or even listening to crash gurus promoting gold and spreading fears of stocks?

Don't put yourself check mate when investing in stocks!
By being your own wealth manager (as I call it), you can invest successfully in every environment. Not every investment is for everyone, but there's always something for somebody and for every setup!

You have to monitor your investment environment and always think critically.

Better put your emotions aside. Let common sense and some proper home work determine your success. Not luck, or even worse, hope! What everyone knows, is no secret anymore. Bull markets lift all boats (tech "investors"?). But crisis is a chance, as they say.

Don't be the bag holder or the pawn that's being sent to the front.
There are always stocks and strategies for every environment. The more rocks you turn, the more opportunities you find!

My view is that there is no such a thing like a "stock market", but rather a market of stocks.

What's the difference? Freedom of choice and self-determination instead of giving up responsibility to someone else for earning fees while losing your money, because they're "long-term investors". You must be in full control. With funds or ETFs you always buy garbage inclusively!

You decide how to move the pieces of your own chess game!
I will give you ideas and impressions. But always think critically, before putting your hard earned money to work!

Your advantages – chose the right one for you!

I am writing as an journalist-investor independently for my valued readers, not for algos or any principal. It shall be informative and thought-provoking for you. Not everything I write and certainly not every case will fit to everyone, but there's always something for somebody. It should be possible to pick a few good and well thought through ideas regularly and feel good about them.

This way it is possible to build a solid retirement stock portfolio with time.

It is important for me to stress that there are not just rising and falling "markets". In every scenario, you can invest successfully. We are investing in individual companies first and foremost, not in mixed baskets with good and rotten eggs.

Better think independently than being a sheep.

If you should have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me every time. I will answer in person!
