10 Benefits (+5 Downsides)
a handy list to help you decide...
Hi again,
I’ve got a quick note for you.
My guess is if you haven’t subscribed to the Weekly ChartStorm by now you’re probably just not convinced yet. Maybe you’re interested, but aren’t quite there yet.
So I’ve put together a list!
10 Benefits of Subscribing (and 5 downsides of not)
These are based on subscriber feedback/testimonials and over a decade of constantly improving the Weekly ChartStorm to make it a trusted resource.
Hopefully this helps!
10 Key Benefits of Subscribing to the Weekly ChartStorm
Save Time: it saves you from having to do all the work yourself (chasing a moving target, sifting through the noise, and cultivating high quality sources). But it’s also an easy read — it’s a quick way to catch-up with where markets are at (and where they’re going).
Save Mind: it also saves you from the confusion & chaos of conflicting and sometimes conflicted views and misinformation in the modern media landscape.
Boost Returns: get onto key trends, themes, and emerging opportunities – you get to benefit from some of the sharpest minds in the industry (I select only the best charts from the best sources) + you get to benefit from my work at Topdown Charts (where I am looking globally across assets and markets for risks and opportunities).
Protect Capital: stay alert to incoming risks as I break down the big issues lurking over the horizon, as well as real-time near-term tactical risks that could throw your portfolio off-track.
Get Help: participate in the comments section Q&A discussion, request charts/topics to be covered in future editions, and get rapid resolution to any issues with highly responsive customer service.
Stay Sharp: get exposed to new ideas and concepts that you might not have thought of before with fresh perspectives, innovative insights, historical studies, and frontier research to help you become a better and smarter investor.
Improve Process: benefit from my pragmatic approach of bringing in all angles of analysis from valuations to technicals, fundamentals, and more – readers say this helps them improve their own investment process, so they can achieve more reliable and repeatable performance.
Reliable Source: benefit from unbiased and independent views; with no other products to push and being self-employed my interests are directly aligned with you, the subscriber. You can also rely on my consistency, as I have never missed a weekend since starting this back in 2015.
Good Company: you’ll be in good company with many other smart investors who are looking to expand their mind and improve outcomes. Subscribers include fund managers and investment advisors looking to help their own clients, retirees looking to protect and grow their nest egg, and individuals looking to build wealth and get ahead.
Have Fun! subscribers say they enjoy the weekend routine of sitting down to read through the ChartStorm with their favorite beverage and reflecting on their next steps. They also appreciate the occasional humor, and intellectual stimulation that it provides.
Which all sounds great right?
But we also need to look at the flipside,
yes there is a cost to subscribing (which, by the way: is probably tax deductible, tiny in the scheme of things, and likely to be returned multiple times over if you make the most of it) ——but there is also a cost to *not* subscribing…
5 Major Downsides of NOT having access to The Weekly ChartStorm
Blind Spots: ultimately one of the key goals of the Weekly ChartStorm is to minimize blind spots and raise market-situational-awareness. This is as much about avoiding risks and getting onto opportunities as it is about just having a quiet sense of confidence that you’re on top of what the key trends are and where things are sitting.
Missed Opportunities: the last thing you want is to look back at the end of the year and spot an obvious opportunity that was hiding just off the radar but showing up clearly in my charts. Maybe I don’t catch every single move, but I can confidently say that I’ve come up with the sources and methods to make sure that I’m able to bring you a flow of potential + active opportunities.
Wasted Time: time is your most precious resource, you can’t afford to waste time trying to do it all yourself when it’s already easily available here for you… but even if you prefer DIY, you could at least take a lead from my work where to prioritize your efforts.
Confusion/Frustration: even worse, if you try to just do it all by yourself you’ll often end up having to deal with conflicting sources and those who do not have your interests in mind + the growing issue of “Information Overload”. You’ll also be left wondering on your own during times of turmoil and big changes, and that’s when I’ll be working overtime to help you.
Stagnation: if you don’t expose yourself to new ideas it’s harder to grow and there’s a lower chance that you’ll achieve those big breakthroughs in understanding that could make all the difference. It’s a key reason I work so hard to bring you fresh ideas, educational snippets, and ways to improve your investment process & performance.
So there’s a few things to consider.
Not signing up risks perpetuating reactive investing, scattered efforts, and unnecessary workload, rather than streamlined, strategic, and confident navigation of markets.
The Weekly ChartStorm is a trusted source, backed by a decade of consistent delivery and enthusiastic subscriber endorsements (with 90% approval) — it delivers clarity in an unclear world.
So if you’re tired of the grind and keen to get ahead, signing up could be your next best move.
