Here’s What you Signed Up For

You’re officially part of The Big Skinny – where being informed doesn’t mean being bored.

It’s our mission to bring you everything that actually matters in the markets – minus the jargon, boring charts, and ego-tripping talking heads. 

Think SportsCenter for financial news, but with fewer ties and way more personality.

Yeah, we do things differently around here. And that’s on purpose!

Unlike the old guard on Wall Street that sneers at retail, self-directed investors – we embrace them. Why? Because we are them!

And because we know retail investors today are smarter, faster, and stronger than ever before.

That’s why Wall Street’s dusty old playbook doesn’t apply anymore. 

Enter our manifesto. Seven truths we live (and profit) by. It’s the filter we run every market move through: punchy, data-driven, irreverent, and never afraid to be contrarian.

WE BELIEVE + + +

In Breaking The Status Quo

  • We Shoot Straight. No BS. No filler. We punch the market square in the mouth and translate the gobbledygook.

  • We Rely on Data, Not People. Numbers don’t lie. Gurus do. We worship ROI, not IQ.

  • We’re Here to Make Money, Not Fit In. We zig when others zag — because being right (and rich) beats being popular. Or as Humphrey B. Neil said: “When everyone thinks alike, everyone is likely to be wrong.”

  • We’re Humble to Avoid Being Humbled (Again). The market doesn’t care who you are. We’ve been smacked before. Lesson learned.

  • We Believe “Dumb” Money Isn’t So Dumb. Retail investors (like us) are the market now. And we’re rewriting the rules.

  • We’re Funny, Not Fake. Expect jokes, memes, and irreverence – but don’t confuse that with amateur hour.

  • We’re Generalists, Opportunists, and Optimists. We connect dots across sectors, stay open-minded, and refuse to be Debbie Downers.
