About The Free Markets Report

I believe in free markets, and I'm done pretending to be neutral about it.

Prices carry information no committee can gather. Competition does more for ordinary people than any mandate. When government steps back, capital finds its best use, costs fall, and things get built. That is the pattern across decades of data, and it shows up again every time a rule comes off the books.

The Free Markets Report follows the rules coming off: agency rollbacks, executive orders, court rulings, and the second document buried behind the headline. Every day, weekends included, I show you what changed, who gets freed, who pays, and what the market hasn't priced in yet. Then I give you one stock to look at, with the reasons and the risks, including how I could be wrong.

It's free. It's independent. It's built for people who invest and people who care how markets are run. If you disagree with me, good. Hit reply and tell me why.

This is not investment advice, and it never mentions any fund I manage. The Free Markets Report is published by Lead-Lag Publishing, LLC.
