“Your Investment U letters are gradually taking effect on me. I’m less interested in goofy numbers, more interested in intelligent strategy. Thank you for a sane, even-handed vision of the political and financial environments.”

“Thanks for this newsletter. One of the best yet. Realistic, balanced, informative, not full of contradictions or sales pitches. Grateful for the honest approach (admitting not knowing everything about the subject, so we can make our own decisions). Wonderful stuff.”
