Noise. Distraction. Confusion.
“There is general agreement among researchers that nearly all stock pickers, whether they know it or not — and few of them do — are playing a game of chance. The subjective experience of traders is that they are making sensible educated guesses in a situation of great uncertainty. In highly efficient markets, however, educated guesses are no more accurate than blind guesses.”
— Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow
Signal. Focus. Conviction.
Stop the guesswork. Switch to systematic, price-driven signals.
I’m Jason Kelly, author of ten financial books, including:
The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing, a BusinessWeek best seller now in its fifth edition.
The 3% Signal, which introduced the technique that pushed dollar-cost averaging aside as the stock market’s new best practice.
Financially Stupid People Are Everywhere: Don’t Be One of Them, a Wall Street Journal 2024 Summer Reading List selection for telling the hard truths.
Readers have been clamoring for updates to my Neatest Little Guide books and others. While new print editions may materialize down the road, the digital world enables me to deliver updates faster and fresher.
Traditional publishing is fantastic for some things, but speed? Not so much.
It takes about two years for a printed book to make it from manuscript to bookstore. And while I deal in the eternal verities of finance, even timeless truths can benefit from timely examples. Let’s call the goal timely timelessness. By updating sections of my books online, I can pluck examples from right now rather than market history, making lessons pop in real-time.
My goal for The Neatest Little Guide remains unchanged: to turn the often mind-boggling world of finance and investing into something understandable and—dare I say—enjoyable. Readers of my books tell me they come away better informed and prepared to maneuver in the market. They take control of their portfolios to achieve financial goals, then feel a sense of accomplishment and pride when they succeed.
I aim to give my online readers the the same clarity and command.
What About The Kelly Letter?
Ah, yes.
In addition to writing financial books, I publish The Kelly Letter every Sunday morning.
It’s the publication you graduate to after reading my books or subscribing to The Neatest Little Guide online. The Kelly Letter brings it all together into a rules-based, systematic portfolio consisting of three growth plans and an income plan.
It’s pricier than The Neatest Little Guide online, reflecting the exceptional value The Kelly Letter consistently delivers, with investing plans that have improved the financial fortunes of its readers. It’s made many millionaires.
Let me illustrate our track record with a powerful example:
A mere $78,000 invested in the 9Sig plan at its debut in January 2017 is now worth $1 million — an astounding 12.9x growth in eight years.
This remarkable performance isn’t the result of a lucky stock pick or other unreliable, one-off approach, but rather a repeatable, systematic strategy — standing in sharp contrast to the subjective methods that dominate the industry.
The letter’s high performance is only part of its value. Every Sunday, subscribers receive:
A meticulously crafted market report focused on trends that truly matter, delivered with a signature dry wit that makes Sunday mornings both informative and entertaining.
3Sig, 6Sig, and 9Sig growth plans, following a disciplined strategy of price-change reaction, tailored to aggressive, very aggressive, and extremely aggressive investors.
Income Sig, a rising star among our strategies and now a cornerstone of retirement planning.
Wisdom of the Week, featuring thought-provoking insights from diverse sources to expand your financial and intellectual horizons.
A cartoon and personal End Note that round out the letter’s unique blend of market analysis, humor, and reflection, offering depth beyond the numbers. Recently, Rich wrote on the subscriber site, “Your End Notes are treasures. I often find myself laughing out loud or with a tear coming to my eye (sometimes both) with each one.” Henry wrote, “Your letter every Sunday adds a lot to my life … One of my best decisions was to become a subscriber a long time ago.”
The Kelly Letter is what the smart people read — and how they make money.
