Newsletter Archive

Every issue. Newest to oldest. No BS!

This is the full archive of the Stock Savvy Dad newsletter.

Every Tuesday morning, I send one email to a growing community of parents and investors who are building wealth intentionally and thinking differently about money.

Some issues are about investing stock research, portfolio strategy, and how to think when the market gets loud.

Others are about the real moments that happen when you’re raising a family and trying to build something at the same time.

Some are about the bigger picture: generational wealth, financial literacy, and what it means to build something lasting when the system wasn’t designed to make that easy.

The articles are written like a real conversation. Not a blog post. Not a pitch. Just an honest take on money, wealth, and whatever you’re trying to build.

Browse through. Find one that speaks to where you are right now.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, join below. New issues land every Tuesday morning.

  • Why diversifying my portfolio was my biggest investing mistake

    Originally published in the Stock Savvy Dad Newsletter on September 29, 2026 When I first started investing, I went wide instead of going deep. I owned a lot of stocks. Too many.
