This letter aims to use macro happenings, market flows, and common sense to help you manage your retirement-grade capital without following the herd or paying an advisor a percentage of your nest egg each and every year.
Hopefully my aim hits somewhere close to your target of what makes for a good macro, long-term newsletter.
Like me, Foundational Profits is constantly evolving.
Foundational Profits is an ongoing exercise. It started as Like Minded People back in 2013, the year I founded The Outsider Club for Angel Publishing. It then became Wall Street’s Underground Profits in 2017.
It became Foundational Profits in 2020 when I formed Digest Publishing with Gerardo Del Real. And we welcomed readers of The Dines Letter into our world in early 2022.
And while the names have changed, the purpose has remained the same since I conjured up the idea over a decade ago. This is how I pitched the idea for what is now Foundational Profits back in 2012:
It will be a lifestyle newsletter for people who share similar beliefs of individual liberty, self-reliance, and sovereign personal investments.
Subscribers will pay a fee to access the information offered in the newsletter and corresponding website.
Monthly issues will point out flaws in the current government and market systems, how to personally avoid, and succeed in spite of them.
Special reports included will cover aspects of survivalism, tax avoidance, personal money management, and generally how to prosper with help from no one but yourself.
I do a little less survival stuff these days as I spend more time volunteering at my kids’ elementary school. But don’t think for a second that I can’t skin a buck or run a trotline. My dad doesn’t have a diploma but he made sure I could shoot straight and change the oil.
And speaking of shooting straight, that’s really what this endeavor has always been about — tying together the contrived, colluded, and often opaque happenings of governments and markets so the everyman and woman could understand them and manage their finances on their own.
That’s true if you’re a fund manager in Indianapolis that reads these words and strategies to glean insights for your clients.
It’s true if you’re the one cleaning the fund manager’s house.
It’s been true for the past decade. And it’ll be true for as long as you’ll allow me to call it like I see it.
That’s why I’m offering you the opportunity to become a lifetime member of this publication today for only twice the annual rate.
So if you plan on sticking around for two years, this deal makes sense just based on the price. You’ll pay $399 once instead of $199 every year.
To sweeten the deal though, I want to offer you something more.
You should know that I run another service called Underground Alpha. I have been writing that letter every week for going on sixteen years now. Instead of focusing on my safe or retirement capital, Underground Alpha focuses on what I’m doing with my speculative capital. It’s the letter on which I built my reputation and found some of my most well-known successes — from cleantech, batteries, and 3D printing to biotech and natural resources. It used to be called Nick Hodge’s Early Advantage.
Members of Underground Alpha get an update every Thursday whether I’m in the delivery room, board room, or on a site visit. You also get deep dives into each recommendation, with a look at share structure, management, and company-specific catalysts. Short-term trades are also recommended, usually in the form of volatility, index, or commodity ETFs with hold times less than a month. As you should expect by now, I am putting my own capital on the line with each recommendation.
Closed winners in the Underground Alpha portfolio this year include 41% on PureCycle Technologies and 23% on Atai Life Sciences, among others. And there are currently 14 speculations in the open portfolio that are not available to you as a member of Foundational Profits.
To fix that, when you become a lifetime member of Foundational Profits today, I will give you a 30-day free trial to Underground Alpha.
So not only will you be getting a lifetime of access to Foundational Profits for one low price, but you’ll have a full month to check out Underground Alpha during which you can check out all speculative stocks I cover that you’re currently missing out on.
You’ll also get to see several weekly issues and any new info or recommendations they contain.
If you like what you see, great. Your trial will convert to a membership after 30 days and we’ll autobill you at the current rate for Underground Alpha. If not, just let us know inside of 30 days and you won’t be billed anything.
Either way, you’ll be getting a lifetime of Foundational Profits for one low payment of $399 instead of $199 annually.
No catches. No gimmicks. No fine print.
Read below to review the details and accept the offer.
But there isn’t much to review.
Stated as simply as possible: If you plan on being a member of Foundational Profits for more than a year, this deal makes financial sense. And when you accept it, you’ll get to try out Underground Alpha for 30 days with no obligation.
Accept this offer by filling out your details below.
