Research by pilot. Discipline by design.
10+ years long-haul captainResponsible for some of the world's largest aircraft. First class fills with bankers, financiers and investors who ask how pilots make decisions under pressure. Checklists and procedures keep choices calm in chaos. Markets reward the same discipline.
Strategy consultantYears in boardrooms watching how the best companies spend their money. I look for the same in stocks.
Real moneyI own every stock I write about. You see the wins and the losses.
Why preflight?

The market gets emotional. You don't have to.

Prices move faster than fundamentals. That is when panic, FOMO and second-guessing take over. Discipline brings you back to the fundamentals.

Know why you own it, what can break the thesis, and what would make you sell. Before emotion gets a vote.

The list

Small enough to know what you own.

18 positions I own with real money. Few enough to know each one. A few are public. Members see the full portfolio, the watchlist and my analysis of each position.

  • Focus: 18 stocks, so the noise stays out
  • Discipline: the decision is made before the market tests you
  • Accountability: members who ask why you own it before you sell
