Honest Board: Trade updates

Everyone has an opinion about the stock market these days. But talk is cheap. Only 15% of actively managed US equity funds outperformed the S&P 500 last year.

It might come across as arrogant to say that we are only interested in being right. But we have done this long enough to know that investment research is only useful if it can help people make money. This is why our aim has always been to (1) make actionable predictions and (2) build a track record of producing more money-making ideas than money-losing ones.

Only time will tell if we manage to build such a track record. Meanwhile we want you to know that we are accountable for our calls. This is why we have created a permanent honest board. From now on, we will start producing a weekly update on how our trades are doing.
