Hi friends!

My name is Alex Harris and I’ve spent the last ~10 years of my life studying public markets.

As a quick background on myself, I spent 4 years in college studying finance and investing. After graduating, I spent two years in investment banking and now work in private equity.

I’ve been trading since I was 16 years old and studying public businesses long before I worked inside them.

I started this publication simply to put my thoughts onto “paper”, hold myself accountable for my investment decisions and share my knowledge with all of you.

Here’s what you’ll get from me:

Single-stock deep dives on individual public companies
Short breakdowns and updates on existing stock picks including earnings and major market events
Market analysis and geopolitics frameworks that will shape the economy
Clear frameworks for thinking like a professional investor

I run a tight basket of 5–15 stocks — mostly growth names, supported by a few value positions and a little crypto sprinkled in

The allocation shifts with the market, but my philosophy stays the same of taking concentrated positions I understand deeply and hold them long enough for fundamentals to play out.

Recent Performance

• 2023: +41%
• 2024: +55%
• 2025: +31%
• 2026: TBD


If you ever want a breakdown on a company, market framework or current world-story explained, message me directly, in the subscriber chat or reply to any email — I read everything.

I’m genuinely glad to have you here.
Let’s build something smart.
