This newsletter series is free for all readers.
What I like about reading newsletters and alpha aggregators is that you get to catch up on things that you do not have a pulse on in your day-to-day. One can only cover so much on their own, so it’s always great to look outside of your info bubble — I hope this newsletter does the same for you!
Note that you can click on the screenshots of each tweet in this newsletter to take you to the actual tweet.
Our Telegram Channel is FREE and shares news/alpha in real-time.
Let’s dive in.
