Before the year ends, I want to slow things down for a moment and talk directly to you. |
Not about markets or predictions or about what comes next. |
About why 2025 mattered. |
When I started Moonshot Minute, the goal was never to build just another investment letter. I wanted a place where smart people could think clearly together. |
Talking about how the system actually works once you strip away the noise, and about money and the markets. |
2025 was the year that intention really took shape. |
And for you and me, it wasn't an easy year to stay rational. |
The noise was constant. The narratives shifted weekly. Everything felt urgent all the time. |
And yet, you and the Moonshot Minute readers did something rare. |
You stayed patient. You stayed selective. You stayed grounded. |
That matters so much more than any single trade. |
We didn't chase what was loud, but instead we focused on what was structural. |
We followed capital instead of commentary. Supply constraints instead of slogans. Second-order effects instead of surface stories. |
Along the way, we talked about uncomfortable truths: |
That wealth is not a number, but rather it is control. That personal finance collapses without structure, and that effort alone does not protect you. Systems do. |
That the monetary system quietly rewards asset ownership and punishes everyone else. That learning how money actually moves matters more than predicting headlines. |
Across the year, we opened positions that moved steadily into solid double-digit territory and, in several cases, far beyond that. Some crossed 30%. Some pushed past 50%. A few moved into triple-digit (100%+) territory. |
We also closed positions when discipline mattered more than ego. Because, as I've shared in these pages, structure always comes first. |
Those exits locked in gains ranging from respectable wins to true asymmetry. Multiple closed positions delivered gains north of 80%. A handful exceeded 100%. |
No hype. No leverage games. No lottery tickets. |
Just patience, structure, and clarity. |
But here is the truth I care about most. |
None of this works without the right audience. Without you. |
An audience willing to think. Willing to sit with discomfort. Willing to hold positions through volatility instead of reacting to every headline. |
You didn't just consume ideas this year. You practiced a way of thinking. |
You learned to see markets as systems. To separate volatility from risk. To understand why the boring layer often ends up being the most profitable one. |
That isn't common. |
Most people want shortcuts. They want someone to tell them exactly what will happen next, as if anyone, myself included, has a crystal ball. |
You stayed for something harder and far more valuable. |
You stayed to learn how to see. |
That is why this letter is not really about returns. |
It is about the kind of investor you are becoming. |
Clearer. Calmer. More structured. |
The kind of investor who does not need to be right every time because the system does the heavy lifting. |
I also want you to know this. |
I do not take your attention lightly. |
Time is the scarcest asset there is. The fact that you spend some of it here with the Moonshot Minute team and me matters to me more than you know. |
Whether you've been here since the beginning or joined somewhere along the way, I am genuinely grateful. Without you, there's no reason for Moonshot Minute to exist or for me to write a single word. |
As we move into 2026, we go deeper. |
More structure. More selectivity. More focus on survivability and asymmetry. |
Less noise. |
If you're a free reader, thank you for trusting me with your attention. |
If you're a Premium Member, thank you for committing to the process and doing the work most people never do. |
This year mattered because you showed up the right way. |
I appreciate you more than you know. |
I'm giving the research and editorial team the rest of the year off. We'll republish some of our biggest hits, and Member Services will be available on email for any support issues and questions. |

P.S. If you're reading Moonshot Minute for free, you are already getting the philosophy. |
Premium is where the philosophy turns into execution. |
That is where I go deeper into how positions are sized, how risk is managed, when discipline matters more than conviction, and how the broader frameworks get applied in real time. It is also where I share the decisions I am actually making, including when to exit, reduce, or stay patient when things feel uncomfortable. |
There is no urgency or pressure here. |
But if this way of thinking resonates with you and you want to practice it at a higher level, Premium is where that happens. |
I would be glad to have you there. |
P.S. #2 I receive dozens of sponsorship requests every day. I turn down most of them. But sometimes, a sponsor comes along that I just flat-out like. If you're like me and you do a lot of shopping on Amazon, check out the sponsored ad below. When my team shared it with me, I knew I had to put it in front of you because I personally love seeing Amazon credits show up in my account. |

In today's Premium Section, you'll find TWO recommendations we're putting our money in during this next, and explosive, stage of the commodity supercycle. | I hope you've been paying attention because many of our picks are currently beating the S&P by up to 4-to-1 this year. | Most financial newsletters charge $500, $1,000, even $5,000 per year. Why? Because they know they can. | I don't. | I built my wealth the old-fashioned way, not by selling subscriptions. | That's why I priced this at $25/month, or $250/year. | Not because it's low quality, but because I don't need to charge the typical prices other newsletters charge. | One good trade, idea, or concept could pay for your next decade of subscriptions. | The question isn't 'Why is this so cheap?' The question is, 'Why would I charge more?' | 👉 Upgrade to Premium Now | P.S. If this newsletter were $1,000 per year, you'd have to think about it. | You'd weigh your options. You'd analyze the risk. | But it's $25 a month. | That's the price of a bad lunch decision. | And remember, just one good idea could pay for your subscription for a decade. | 👉 Upgrade to Premium Now | |
