The Deets
What does “society and finance for fellow renegades” even mean? Well, first and foremost I want this to be a resource where you can find insights that will help you develop your own process for valuing risk assets. Beyond that, there is no box that Heretic Speculator can be put in and that’s very much by design. Some general themes you’ll come across in my musings on society:
self-sovereignty
privacy protection
anti-authoritarianism
anarcho-capitalism
Heretic Speculator isn’t similar to any other Substack publication you'll likely come across. We'll explore the intersections of finance, politics, and the social zeitgeist with the occasional touch of humor. Stocks are great and we like the divis just as much as the next value investor. But put a crypto-bro, prepper, Goldbug, and a Nas fan into a blender and that’s basically what you can expect from Heretic Speculator.
Some Of My Favorites
This is just a small sampling of some of my previous work that I think is useful in helping an independent thinker form a framework for the environment we currently find ourselves in:
Early Reviews from “Full Heretics”
So what do you get going Full Heretic (paid sub)?
Beyond the complete archive of the Heretic Speculator publication, Full Heretics get access to automated dashboards that track the premiums in the physical bullion market and live fund flow data for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Additionally, Full Heretics get to follow along in the journey of the Heretic Speculator Equity Portfolio (HSEP) - this is a small novelty portfolio that I started just for the Heretic Speculator publication with $1,000. My goal is to double this account in 2024. Yes, it’s aggressive. But it’s also cash account trading with no options and no margin. As of Q1-24, HSEP is up 24% year to date; well ahead of the index.
Finally, each Monday I’ll start a fresh thread in the Heretic Speculator Substack chat that details what I’m looking at and what I’m following for the week. This is a chart-heavy environment and serves as almost a live look into how I’m viewing action in the markets. You are encouraged to participate in this! Even if it’s just to ask a question - no question is stupid, so if you don’t understand what I’m saying, let me know!
As a bonus perk, Full Heretics have the ability to start their own threads in our chat room as well. There are more people here than it might appear. I see a lot of untapped intellect in this community, so ask questions, contribute ideas, and we’ll all benefit.
One More Thing…
With the exception of the Monday chat thread, Heretic Speculator is not a scheduled experience. This is not a heavy volume publication. I don’t personally believe in content quotas or forced emails and I care about being respectful of time and inboxes. If I don’t have something to say, I’m not going to say it. In a normal week, you can probably expect 2-3 emails.
Disclosure: I’m not an investment advisor. I merely share what I do and why I do it. You shouldn’t take anything I say as investment advice and always do your own research when making investment decisions. Cryptocurrencies, tokens, STONKs, and digital trinkets could all go to zero.
