Year in Review and What Might Lie Ahead
First Ever Sale of The Financial Tap – ENDS Tuesday Midnight.
Fourteen years ago, I started The Financial Tap on a simple belief: Markets reward process over emotion, allocation over ideology, and patience over noise. 2025 was another proof point of that discipline, from a precious metals overweight to full stock exposure, members weren’t guessing, hoping, or defending narratives. The long term portfolio returned an estimated 45% during 2025, with very little drawdown or volatility.
And that’s the real value of this service:
You don’t subscribe for information — you subscribe for a framework that helps you act on information without sabotaging yourself.
A strategy layer that keeps you out of consensus traps, emotional trading loops, and the high-turnover bias cycles that dominate investor discourse today.
At midnight Tuesday Jan 6th, the opportunity to secure the original founding rate, a $100 recurring discount every single year, forever, disappears with the cycles.
If you’ve been following me or been a member before, you already know: I don’t chase attention, I don’t amplify hype, I don’t curate bias, I study trend, weight allocation, and play the long game.
