Spellbreakers Stocks is going to be paid!
Why is Spellbreakers going to be paid?
Spellbreakers will be paid because producing this research is time-consuming and has significant expenses. Completing a structured and thorough equity analysis is time-consuming and requires substantial skill and judgment. On average, it takes about 40 hours to complete per security. This hourly figure doesn't include the time spent researching and ruling out unprofitable ideas. My goal is to distill 40 hours of research in a short read so that you can decide if this is something you would like to invest in. I am doing the research, and you must determine where it fits in your portfolio. Those are 40 hours you could spend doing other things like spending time with your family, developing your career, networking, or enjoying your hobbies.
Who is Spellbreakers Stocks for?
Spellbreakers is a fundamental growth-oriented newsletter for intelligent, intellectually curious, high-earning, gritty, emotionally stable, entrepreneurial-minded, and hands-on retail investors. The securities discussed here may not be suitable for a retirement strategy. Readers who are interested in this kind of research should have already made significant contributions or preferably maxed out all their tax-advantaged retirement accounts. These research pieces will cover securities that have a high amount of risk and have the potential for significant growth. The return I aim for is over 20%, and the holding periods will be between 1 month and 2 years. Although I am aiming for a 20% return the securities discusses may achieve higher returns. Readers should have a high willingness and ability to tolerate risk. Not all the securities will generate a positive return. If my position is 20% down or more, I will cut the position. Also, I will most likely have a long position in most of the stocks discussed here.
How much are you going to charge?
The newsletter will start at $55 dollars a month. I don't plan on raising the price in the future, but I may start an additional newsletter for those who are interested in options. Although my target audience is high-earning professionals I would be open to a discounted price for those who cannot comfortably pay the fee. If this is you, you can contact me directly.
How does the business model work?
I plan on charging a monthly fee to cover the labor and subscriptions required. I am choosing a subscription-based model so that I can retain intellectual honesty. Other researchers, for example, sell - research analysts will rarely speak negatively about security in fear of hurting their relationship with management. If I went with an advertising model I may have to produce as much content as possible without regard to the quality and sell readers products that may not benefit them. For a reasonable monthly fee readers will receive an average of 1 equity research piece a month. I will not be selling securities. I may publish other content, such as additional articles, educational content, market updates, and industry analysis, but these will not count toward the monthly average of one. There will also be extra research pieces such as work samples, promotional materials and a group chat. Most of the advertising will be done on other social media platforms. The fee-based research model works because unlike other investment vehicles, public equities can be purchased by multiple people. If you take real estate, only a limited number of investors can invest. Since there are many subscribers paying a fee it can cover the expenses associated with producing the research. Additionally, the larger your capital pool becomes the more valuable this research is. Although several people have approached me and have asked me to manage capital for them in exchange for a percentage of profits, I would not like to do that at this time. I would like to keep my day- job at this time and I wouldn't have the time to handle the administrative overhead of running a legitimate fund since it comes with a lot of regulatory reporting restrictions. It wouldn't be ethical to accept capital while working another job. Running a fund also requires portfolio management skills in addition to evaluating individual securities. So, the subscription model will be in place for the time being. In the future, by future I mean 5-10 years, I anticipate that many of you will grow your capital significantly. At that time, I may consider changing the business model if enough capital can be raised so that the fund has adequate scale to cover the administrative expenses.
Where did the name Spellbreakers come from?
The retail stock market landscape is convoluted. The market is confusing and difficult to navigate. There are a lot of snake - oils salesman in the business as well. In a way the landscape is a bit of a spell that you as an investor must navigate. The value is hidden. In a way the market is casting a spell that ensnarls many investors. In that way, by clarifying the value and investing you are breaking the spell and identifying the true situation. So, because you are breaking the spell by identifying the hidden value of security that would make you a Spellbreakers. So, from here on out I will refer to readers as Mages. A mage is a "magician or a learned person."
Why did you start Spellbreakers?
I am interested in growing my capital, sharing my research and educating others. Investing has been changing life and I want to share my passion with others. I have a special interest in high-tech companies such as technology and healthcare, but I plan on being a generalist for the most part.
