Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by Charity Mobile
A Night Prayer
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
Quote of the Day
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” -St. Augustine
Today’s Meditation
This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description. Scripture speaks of it in images: life, light, peace, wedding feast, wine of the kingdom, the Father’s house, the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise. —Catechism 1027

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
Thank God for all these moments!
Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
Rest with God
By day the Lord commands His steadfast love; and at night His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. — Psalm 42:8

Before the day asks anything of you—before the notifications, the expectations, or the coffee even kicks in—this is already true:
🫶 You are cherished.
🫶 You are chosen.
🫶 You belong.
February can quietly bring pressure—to measure love, to compare stories, to wonder where we stand. But our identity isn’t shaped by seasons or circumstances. It’s anchored in a love that does not change.
That’s the heart behind Cherished & Chosen.
This tee is meant to be a daily reminder—something you put on before the world starts asking questions. A steady truth to carry with you as you move through your day.
You don’t have to earn love. You don’t have to prove belonging. You don’t have to strive to be seen.
You are already known. Already loved. Already held.Wear the Reminder

The big news that created a stir in high tech and finance in the last 48 hours was rumors and speculation that Elon Musk is gearing up to merge all – or at least two – of his companies together.
The two scenarios that are being discussed:
Tesla – SpaceX – xAI all merge into one public company.
SpaceX merges with xAI into one company.
Years ago, Musk talked about creating one holding company, with the likely name of X, but nothing had been said about that recently.
The discussion since the beginning of the year had been focused on preparations for taking SpaceX public this year, perhaps as early as June. But something clearly shifted this week as a larger possible merger has received a lot of airtime.
As more details emerge, I’ll probably dig a little deeper on this topic next week.
Musk’s projects and companies are literally some of the most impactful contributions to humanity and economic growth in history. They are certainly worth our attention.
Have a great weekend,
Jeff
Bye-Bye, Biotech Winter
Jeff and Team,
Jeff, I have been following you for quite some time now. Started out before the pandemic and got burned like most in the biotechs. So much promise and hope, just withered on the vine. Cleaned up and rebalanced, was so excited when you came back.
I am a big fan of Musk’s companies and see them as a complete stack, not individual companies working in silos. You may have been a part of that.
I played with all the frontier AIs and have found Grok to be the best to suit my personality. I know that sounds weird, but if you have challenged all of them, you can feel the difference.
I frequently copy The Bleeding Edge and all of your research into Grok to help me learn more and dive deeper. It has been helpful professionally as an ER doc, personally for issues in the home, and with things like crypto and taxes, as well as how to deal with reframing and dealing with issues with in-laws. Very positive.
I use tonight’s Bleeding Edge and went a bit deeper on biotech. Just wonder what you think about the five companies in the Grok discussion that I have attached.
I would also like to hear what you think about the Musk stack of Tesla, Optimus, Starlink, Neuralink, X, xAI, and how they will all go together. My bet is in the next year, this group of companies will explode into or onto something nobody ever expected or even saw coming. In deep conversations, Grok agrees with me!!!
(Brownstone Unlimited, and so happy to be here).
– Dan K.
Hi Dan,
It’s great to have you with us as an Unlimitedmember. And thanks for the feedback, it has been great to be back and re-energized on my mission and vision for Brownstone Research.
Since the time that you wrote in, I’m very happy to say that I have re-launched coverage of the biotech sector with Early Stage Trader. Like you, it was painful to see the biotech market shrivel up due to the pandemic policies. The four-year biotech winter made no sense at all and was detrimental to advancing important therapies for a wide range of diseases.
Happily, those days are over, and I’ll be increasing biotech-related investment research in The Near Future Report (large-cap biotech), Exponential Tech Investor(think picks and shovels, IP, devices, and AI), and Early Stage Trader which is exclusively focused on early stage biotech companies in the pre-clinical or clinical stages with forthcoming catalysts that create high probability trading opportunities.
For anyone interested in learning more about the new and improved Early Stage Trader – our biotech-focused trading advisory – you can go here to catch the replay of our relaunch event from earlier this week.
As for the list you reference in your Grok conversation, I’m unable to provide any personalized investment advice on these companies, and I can’t perform my typical in-depth research on all these companies in The Bleeding Edge. So, I’ll just provide some general comments…
One of the companies I can’t mention, as it is already in our model portfolio in The Near Future Report. You – and any other Near Future Report subscribers – can find my full research on that company on our website right here.
As for Eli Lilly, I like the company, but don’t like the valuation right now. I simply believe that there are better companies to allocate to. Intellia and Denali are also two companies that I like, but I would need to perform a full analysis – and also do some work on valuation – before I could offer a strong position on either company.
As for Musk and his “stack” of technologies embedded within his various companies, there have been some developments in the last 48 hours that make this a very timely issue.
Musk has long alluded to a conglomerate model – most likely named X – to hold all of his businesses. But in the last two years or so, it hasn’t been mentioned at all, and the clear intentions to take SpaceX public in 2026 seemed to suggest those plans had changed. Musk, it appeared, would have two publicly traded companies and keep his artificial intelligence business, xAI, private.
This actually made a lot of sense. After all, xAI is developing artificial general intelligence (AGI), which confers an incredible competitive advantage. Not having to disclose the inner workings of xAI in SEC filings would be advantageous. Keeping xAI private for now is the smart move.
Prior to these merger talks, the silos that made sense to me were:
xAI – the home of frontier AI models, AGI, and ultimately ASI. X remains the most important social network of real-time information and analysis, critical as a dataset for AI models. This is where it would make sense to merge Neuralink for brain-computer interface technology(which is all AI).
Tesla – this remains the home for energy/transportation/robotics/autonomy initiatives. The Boring Company could be rolled up into Tesla, and Tesla’s free cash flows could be used to build out the next generation of transportation infrastructure, which will be very capital-intensive (think tunneling and perhaps hyperloop technology). Musk will also lean more heavily into energy production. Large solar production will be primary, but I can’t help but think that he will jump into fusion at some stage (power of the sun). The best way would be to acquire an existing fusion company with an engineering team that he really likes and build from there.
SpaceX – all things space-bound. Rockets, orbital data centers, orbital internet infrastructure, next-generation propulsion technology, and, of course, space exploration (and potentially resource mining in space).
Another framework that is useful and fun for us to use is that all of his technologies are relevant in the context of making the human race a multiplanetary species:
Tesla for EVs to roam the surface of Mars
The Boring Company to dig tunnels for habitation under the surface of Mars
Optimus for labor in the harsh Martian environment
AGI to assist in operating the Martian outpost and providing what we can think of as an extraterrestrial civilization operating system on Mars
SpaceX for transportation to the Moon and Mars
SpaceX for mining resources extraterrestrially
Neuralink for real-time communications with computing systems in space and on Mars
Tesla for the power of the sun (solar and perhaps fusion in the long run)
xAI for orbital data centers (note: there are also some rumors of possibly merging xAI into SpaceX, given the interest in orbital data centers)
SpaceX for next-generation propulsion to get to Mars, and eventually other places in our solar system
Either way, Musk’s companies are destined to be the most important companies of our time. And combined, they will be the most valuable group of companies in history, which I believe will become worth tens of trillions of dollars.
No matter what happens, you can be sure that I’ll be on top of it with updates in The Bleeding Edge and in our model portfolios.
Love how you’re using Grok, really cool, proactive, and a great way to engage this incredible technology. And you are right, Grok is the best of them.
The media is saying this AI boom is like the dot-com bubble all over again. However, they’re all ignoring the much bigger risk. Click here for the full story.
Tracking the Trend of Data Centers in Space
Hi Jeff, as a longtime subscriber, I enjoy your engineering insight. However, since Google launched the idea of data centers in space, I would have expected that you would address the idea and research the most capable companies to engineer such a space system and provide essential components: radiation-hardened chips/servers, optical communications, ground stations, physical/ cybersecurity, besides satellites and rockets. As I imagine only big and certified companies will do this, I think it fits perfectly in the Near Futuretheme.
Regards.
– Wolfgang B.
Hi Wolfgang,
This has definitely been a keen area of interest of mine as an emerging growth market to help solve some of the challenges and expenses of powering and cooling data centers here on Earth.
We also already have several companies in The Near Future Report and Exponential Tech Investor portfolios that will almost certainly feed into the orbital data center industry once it takes off. These companies range from semiconductor manufacturing to semiconductors, cybersecurity, and lasers/optics.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that volumes of things like optical components or radiation-hardened semiconductors will be relatively low, especially in the next couple of years.
We can use Starlink as an example. Despite years of launching Starlink satellites, there are “only” about 9,400 in orbit today. While it’s the largest satellite constellation in history, the actual amount of semiconductor and optical content is rather small because there are only 9,400 satellites – not 9 million or 90 million satellites.
Gross margins for radiation-hardened components are typically much higher in the 70–80% range, but the volumes are much lower. This is why I didn’t include orbital data centers in my investment thesis for the companies in our model portfolios.
The key gating factor for the growth in orbital data centers is one company – SpaceX. Once SpaceX gets its Starship into commercial operations and launch costs per kilogram down to around $200, the economics make a lot of sense to launch data server satellites into orbit.
2026 will mark the beginning of this trend, and I am confident Starship launch costs will drop to attractive levels no later than 2027, so we’ll see a lot more investment next year in orbital compute.
This is definitely an industry we’ll track closely.

Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999
Sharing the next part of our annual Report Card… Controversial grades… Our grading criteria… Reviewing our big-picture newsletters…
Our annual Report Card is often the most controversial Digest we write each year…
This year didn’t disappoint.
Subscriber Alex K. wrote in, “Is this the new grading scale where everyone passes?”
Harsh.
And Steve D. wrote, “Oh well. Keep the grades high. Book some more business.”
Ouch!
Today, I (Stansberry Research Publisher Matt Weinschenk) am continuing with the second installment of our annual Report card. I started last week by reviewing our Portfolio Solutions products.
A few subscribers, like Alex and Steve, wrote in to say I was too easy on TheQuant Portfolio and Stansberry’sForever Portfolio. I gave them both C grades for 2025, even though they trailed their benchmarks. (No one disputed the A+ The Total Portfolio earned for 2025.)
You might be surprised to learn that I welcome messages like Alex’s and Steve’s.
Actually… I love them. They let me know I’m doing my job.
We’ve been doing our Report Card for 20 years now. The purpose is to hold ourselves accountable and provide you with transparency on how our services have done.
We take this seriously at Stansberry Research. We’re thrilled with the outstanding success of many of our services. And if we’re not performing up to par, you deserve to know it.
But to me, the letter grades I give each service are the least important part of the Report Card.
Yes, the grades get all the attention. And yes, the editors who take home A’s and A+’s enjoy some bragging rights around the office.
But what’s far more important, we give you the critical numbers we use in evaluating our performance.
Stansberry Research’s guiding principle since our founding has been to provide you, our subscriber, with all the information we’d want if our roles were reversed.
The Report Card honors that promise.
We give you the average return for all the services’ recommendations… the annualized return for those picks… the win rate… and a relevant benchmark.
Now, to be clear, I stand by my judgments.
As I explained in last week’s Digest, TheQuant Portfolio and Stansberry’sForever Portfolio focus on quality stocks. Specifically, they hold stocks with high profit margins, free cash flows, and other fundamental measures.
And unfortunately, in 2025, high-quality stocks trailed low-quality stocks. A study by investment bank UBS shows that since March, low-quality stocks have beaten high-quality stocks by 50 percentage points.
Considering the market refused to offer them any opportunities, I think the Forever Portfolio and Quant Portfolio did just fine.
And I don’t want these portfolios to stray from quality stocks. I would have judged them more harshly if they had strayed from their mandates.
Can you imagine something called Stansberry’s Forever Portfolio deciding it needed to add a meme stock?
So these portfolios earned C grades because they did what they were supposed to do. And if they keep doing it, I wholeheartedly believe things will work out.
Again, the grades are entirely mine. I hope you agree with my judgments. But in the end, if you read my explanation… look at the numbers… and decide I’ve gone soft… that’s OK. Disagree. Roast me. I want to hear all about it. Let me know at feedback@stansberryresearch.com.
This is all about full track-record transparency. I’m grateful for subscribers like Alex and Steve who take the time to dig into the data and form their own judgments.
Today, I’m reviewing our big-picture newsletters…
These newsletters cover big topics, big stocks, and they generally welcome a wide range of investors looking for well-researched financial information.
We tend to offer these newsletters at affordable prices – prices much lower than their quality would suggest – so they’re accessible to anyone ready to improve their investment returns.
I have to say, I was a bit surprised by the results. At Stansberry Research, we don’t chase wild gains. We tend to be careful. Measured.
I fully admit our portfolios run the risk of overlooking the hottest stocks in the market because these stocks tend to be the most overvalued and risky.
So in a galloping bull market like this – one rewarding businesses with promises of future growth and less in the way of fundamentals – I thought we’d be left behind.
In most cases, we were not.
The numbers look especially good when you take a long-term view, which is how you build real wealth. But again, you can judge for yourself.
Unlike the portfolios I reviewed last week, these are not fully allocated portfolios. As such, they don’t have annual returns that perfectly map onto their benchmarks. But over 20 years, we’ve developed what we believe is the best way to grade these portfolios.
Here’s how it works…
Our Grading Criteria for Traditional Publications
Before you get started, I encourage you to read this explanation of the criteria we use…
It will help you understand what we’re looking for from our analysts and editors. It should also help you understand the high standards that we set for all our publications. As I said, the grades are mine – no one else’s. I generally provide context to support my decisions. But there’s no fudging… no excuses… and no hiding from the results.
First, we aim for complete accuracy…
This involves tracking the exact entry and exit points. Please keep in mind… we’re tracking our results (not yours, which is impossible for us to do). We’re not saying these results represent the exact prices at which you could have gotten into or out of an investment. Rather, they represent the value of our insights at the time we publish our material. We use the closing price from the day prior to publication for our entry price… and for our exit price, we use the closing price from the day after we recommend closing the position or hit our stop loss.
Next, we evaluate each publication’s performance by focusing on three key metrics…
The most important metric for us is the win rate. Our traditional newsletters make regular recommendations – in most cases, each month. Their model portfolios are essentially a list of recommendations – not an actual portfolio where you invest in an entire pool of risk-weighted securities. We can’t know if subscribers act on every recommendation or try to cherry-pick the ideas they think will work out best. In most cases, we bet that it’s the latter.
That makes the editor’s ability to pick more winners than losers an important criterion. This tells subscribers the likelihood that an editor’s picks will end up profitable. When you follow an editor with a high win rate, you should stick with them.
Next are the average and annualized returns…
We compare how each recommendation (not the entire list of recommendations at once) performs against its benchmark over its exact holding period. (That benchmark is the S&P 500 Index, unless otherwise noted.) This is perhaps the most confusing metric for subscribers to understand. But we think it’s the most accurate way to compare results. Since we’re making recommendations throughout the evaluation period, we can’t compare the newsletters with the S&P 500 over the full period… Not all recommendations were made at the start date.
Likewise, we don’t close all our positions at the same time. That’s why you will see a different number for the benchmark on most publications rather than a flat rate of return for the evaluation period. By looking at the average gains for a publication, you can determine what kind of returns to expect from following that editor’s recommendations.
In investing, annualized returns show what would happen if you were to repeat a trade’s performance (up or down) throughout the year. This allows us to compare different strategies over different periods.
For these newsletters, I’m going to share the performance over one year and five years. And since these newsletters tend to have longer-term investment horizons, I’m going to grade them based on five-year returns.
So let’s get started…
Stansberry’s Investment Advisory: B
It was a great year for Whitney Tilson and the Stansberry’s Investment Advisory team. Of the 12 picks made in 2025, seven have been winners, for an average annualized gain of 33.8%… compared with 24.9% for the benchmark S&P 500 Index.
Over the five-year period, Stansberry’s Investment Advisory had a positive win rate at 56% and only slightly underperformed its benchmark.
But I believe the Investment Advisory carries significantly less risk than the S&P 500.
You see, the Investment Advisory model portfolio holds many insurance companies, which we believe are the “best businesses in the world.” They aren’t fast-moving stocks, but over time, they reward you. For example, Investment Advisory holdings W.R. Berkley (WRB) and American Financial (AFG) are up 623% and 483%, respectively.
The portfolio also has high-quality, best-of-the-best stocks (which it labels “Global Elite Businesses”) like Coca-Cola Consolidated (COKE) and McDonald’s (MCD).
Now, our grading scale works on what we call “vintages.” Each year measures the positions open in that year. These positions are tracked until they close.
So the Investment Advisory‘s five-year returns are being dragged down by 2022’s picks – mainly two large losses in the semiconductor sector. The model portfolio stopped out of Applied Materials (AMAT) and Intel (INTC) for losses of 45% and 38%, respectively.
The team was onto something with semiconductor stocks. But they were early.
It’s also worth noting that our methodology doesn’t give credit for stocks recommended before 2021 that the portfolio still holds. And there are a lot of them.
For example, gold producer Barrick Mining (B) is up 114% since the team recommended it. In 2025 alone, it went up 181%.
CBOE Global Markets (CBOE), the leading U.S. options exchange, is up 215% since its initial recommendation and 189% over the five years ending in 2025… Credit-card company American Express (AXP) is up 492% since its initial recommendation and 225% over the past five years… And software giant Microsoft (MSFT) is up 1,550% since its initial recommendation and 126% over the past five years.
The five-year track record, as calculated, gets no credit for those returns.
If you add it all up, since inception an incredible 27 years ago, Stansberry’s Investment Advisory has beaten its benchmark by 3.2% per year. That’s a rate and time period I believe to be unmatched in the industry. That’s why it earns a B for this year’s Report Card.
True Wealth: B
In many ways, True Wealth runs counter to Stansberry’s Investment Advisory.
Editor Brett Eversole focuses on big trends. He looks from the “top down” to find the countries, sectors, and currencies set to move.
Brett will readily tell you he doesn’t spend his time trying to evaluate the financials or science behind a single biotechnology company. Instead, he looks for when biotechnology stocks as a whole should get their due. That’s why he recommended the iShares Biotechnology Fund (IBB) in September. It’s already up 21%.
If you isolate True Wealth‘s recent performance, Brett has been killing it.
In 2024, Brett made 13 recommendations. Ten are up, for an annualized gain of 31%, versus 15% for the benchmark S&P 500.
In 2025, Brett did even better. He recommended 13 plays, with nine winners. They returned 43% annualized gains versus 16% for the benchmark.
But Brett still has to work through tough 2022 and 2023 returns, when markets whipsawed and made it tough on trend followers. With a 58% win rate and annualized returns just slightly below the benchmark over the past five years, True Wealth earns a B.
Commodity Supercycles: A+
Commodity Supercycles, led by Whitney Tilson along with Brian Tycangco and Bill McGilton, aims to do what it says in the name: capture huge gains when commodities go on their inevitable tear higher.
That’s happening right now.
The AI boom has rewarded energy and commodity investors. And Whitney and the team have been there to capitalize on it.
The Commodity Supercycles model portfolio includes nuclear stocks like BWX Technologies (BWXT) and Vistra (VST), up 139% and 82%, respectively.
It also has renewable plays like GE Vernova (GEV), up 99%, and Ormat Technologies (ORA), up 83%… traditional oil-rights picks like Viper Energy (VNOM), up 180%, and Black Stone Minerals (BSM), up 116%… and pipeline companies like Kinder Morgan (KMI), which is up 96%.
Those were all added to the portfolio within the last five years.
And then, of course, there are the metals. What a time it has been for metals.
Copper play Ero Copper (ERO) is up 154% since September. Kinross Gold (KGC) is up 341%. And the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) is up 335%.
I could go on.
Commodity Supercycles demonstrates so much of the value of Stansberry Research.
We’ve published it for 21 years, through good commodity markets and bad… with real experts who focus on the industry and know its ins, outs, and opportunities.
So when commodities catch fire, we’re already in place. You know you can come to a trusted source to get the best research.
With a win rate of 66% and sextuple the annualized returns of its benchmark Bloomberg Commodity Index over the past five years, Commodity Supercycles earns a well-deserved A+.
Stansberry Innovations Report: C
Stansberry Innovations Report is designed to capture growth… to find the best technology innovations and the right way to play them in the market.
It’s hard to complain about the returns editors Eric Wade and John Engel have made on their stock positions (that is to say, not including those from the “Crypto Corner” feature).
They’ve been all over some of the big trends in tech and have seen returns like 505% on Ciena (CIEN) and 297% on Lumentum (LITE), both companies that make fiber-optic networking equipment. They posted a 365% gain on music streamer Spotify Technology (SPOT), even adjusting for taking profits on half the position. And they’re up 121% on Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL).
Over the past five years, the Innovations Reportmodel portfolio had average gains of 25% and 16.8% annualized.
However, when your sector is the hot one, you have to perform. And while the Innovations Report has informed readers and put them into some big hits, it just about matched the benchmark S&P 500. That’s why the Innovations Report earns a C this year.
There’s a thin line between average and exceptional. With just one more Spotify or Ciena, the Innovations Report could jump up a letter grade or two.
If we look at the Innovations Report since its inception in 2018, we see a clear A-level publication. The average gain of 47.5% outpaces the 38.2% earned by the S&P 500 by nearly double digits.
The InnovationsReport also includes several crypto recommendations, which we look at separately due to their volatility. Here, Eric mainly sticks to the big “blue chip” cryptos that are easy to buy and hold for a long time.
The five-year time period hit the crypto portfolio hard. While the model portfolio is up more than 750% on bitcoin and more than 1,000% on Ethereum, both of these fall outside the five-year window of analysis.
Instead, smaller cryptos like Polygon and VeChainThor have declined from their 2021 highs. For positions recommended within the last five years, the average gain is only 1%.
Retirement Millionaire: B
Written by Dr. David “Doc” Eifrig and his team, Retirement Millionaire aims to set its readers up for a healthy and wealthy retirement.
We don’t want big risks. We want steady, safe gains over time to build a massive nest egg.
Doc also shares his ideas on healthy living. It’s impossible to measure this advice with numbers. But Doc has often shared insights that become the proven opinion of the medical community years later. For example, he was ahead of the curve warning about the threats of persistent inflammation.
Over the past five years, Doc has underperformed his benchmark, the S&P 500. I personally think that benchmark is a little aggressive for Doc’s conservative style, so I give some extra grace here. But Doc loves a challenge.
What’s striking is his win rate. In a game where a 55% win rate can make you rich, 63% of Doc’s picks over the last five years have made money.
Doc’s track record suffers from the same measurement challenge as Stansberry’s Investment Advisory.
Retirement Millionaire has lots of positions opened before our five-year window that are still earning outstanding gains for readers. For example, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) is up 769%… Microsoft is up 1,408%… Alphabet is up 721%… banking giant JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up 298%… and e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN) is up 407%.
If you look at Retirement Millionaire since its inception in 2008, the model portfolio has posted an average return of 64.7%, versus 71.3% for the S&P 500. But Doc only selected safe, conservative stocks.
What’s more shocking… Doc boasts a win percentage of 72%. His winners outnumber his losers by 2.5-to-1.
And in the 18-year history of Retirement Millionaire, there’s only one “vintage” that has lost money (2021).
If you want to earn real money over the long term, Retirement Millionaire is the best in the business.
TheFerris Report: D
Dan Ferris is here to protect you from disaster.
Dan doesn’t like to be described as bearish. He’s an optimistic person. He sees opportunities in the market.
But as an investor, Dan knows that someday the markets will stop delivering pleasure and start delivering pain.
Unfortunately for The Ferris Report, which we launched in 2022, the market has only delivered pleasure over the past few years.
With average gains near 20%, Dan has lagged the benchmark S&P 500 since inception, which is a short of five years.
However, he has a 64% win rate. And were it not for two relatively quick losses in 2022 and 2025 – on Smith & Wesson (SWBI) and Tempus AI (TEM) – Dan would have done a lot better. Still, losses are losses.
However…
Dan is a bear market investor who has not had the “luck” to invest through a bear market yet.
And average gains near 20% are a great way to grow your wealth. It’s just that the market is so hot, Dan has missed some opportunities.
He’s doing that on purpose, though…
If you recall a few years ago, the hottest fund in the market was Cathie Wood’s high-flying ARK Innovation Fund (ARKK), which bought every overvalued tech stock with little concern for risk management.
When the tech stock market collapsed in 2021, a chart started circulating comparing ARKK’s returns to Berkshire Hathaway’s…
I believe Dan’s risk management will prove out over time.
You’ll see that when we review his Extreme Valueservice in the next part of our Report Card. Dan has published that since 2002. So it has had the benefit of proving Dan’s prowess “through the cycle.” Multiple cycles, in fact. I won’t spoil the grade, but… it’s good.
For now, we’ll settle on a D for The Ferris Report. But if a bear market comes, the work Dan has done over the past four years will prove valuable.
A note about The N.E.W. System…
In September, we launched the New Engine of Wealth (N.E.W.) System to make AI work for you.
Each quarter, this system uses an AI algorithm to build a portfolio of high-quality stocks with the goal of long-term outperformance of the market.
We don’t have enough data to judge it yet. But it will get a grade for its first year in next year’s annual Report Card.
I’ll be back next week to grade our more advanced services with the final part of this year’s Report Card.
It has already risen 185% through THREE major crashes… beat the S&P 500 Index last year, with less risk than stocks… and massively outperformed in the tariff crash. Now, with markets on a knife-edge, five of our most senior experts are stepping forward with all the details of our No. 1 recommendation for 2026. Click here to stream our briefing now.
Tech-investing legend Jeff Brown, the man who picked Nvidia before it jumped 32,000%, just recommended THREE new AI trades. They’re to take advantage of a strange phenomenon that has delivered gains big enough to turn $10,000 into $101,700, $151,600, and even a mind-blowing $650,000… all in a 24-hour period. Click here to see the details.
New 52-week highs (as of 1/29/26): ABB (ABBNY), Applied Materials (AMAT), ASML (ASML), Atmus Filtration Technologies (ATMU), BHP (BHP), BP (BP), Chevron (CVX), iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy Fund (DBMF), Donaldson (DCI), EnerSys (ENS), Ero Copper (ERO), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), Comfort Systems USA (FIX), Franklin FTSE Japan Fund (FLJP), Freehold Royalties (FRU.TO), Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield Fund (FYLD), SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), Alphabet (GOOGL), Hawaiian Electric Industries (HE), Helmerich & Payne (HP), Hubbell (HUBB), Kinder Morgan (KMI), Lincoln Electric (LECO), Lockheed Martin (LMT), Mueller Industries (MLI), New York Times (NYT), Ormat Technologies (ORA), Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS), Invesco Oil & Gas Services Fund (PXJ), Roche (RHHBY), SandRidge Energy (SD), Tenaris (TS), Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (U-U.TO), ProShares Ultra Gold (UGL), Vale (VALE), State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), and ExxonMobil (XOM).
“Dan, I’m with you. I don’t often thank you and Corey enough. Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf.
“Yes, I have a problem! I followed Stansberry’s analysts’ recommendations for SLV and GLD, AND numerous royalty and mining companies. Gold and silver in those forms now are more than 15% of my portfolio. I took some profits on SLV and now reading today’s Digest will widen my trailing stop. It’s crazy times. I thank you for your sanity. And hosting Investor Hour.” – Stansberry Alliance member Jeffrey G.
Good investing,
