And Happy New Year! Thanks for being with us in 2025, and we can’t wait to make 2026 a year for the books with you. 

Markets are closed, but today, we wanted to send you our absolute best 5 editions of Stocks & Income.

These are issues that you will get value from in preparation for next year.

And tomorrow, we’ll be back at it again at market open!

Let’s take a look 👇

In partnership with AltIndex

Most New Year's resolutions about building wealth fail by February.

Make 2026 different. Stop gambling on gut instincts. Start using the data that actually moves markets.

AltIndex tracks Reddit sentiment, Congress trades, insider activity, and hiring trends. Then their AI analyzes it all to generate stock ratings.

The results: AltIndex’s AI-powered picks beat the S&P 500 by nearly 30% during a 6-month test in 2025.

Right now: 50% off for an entire year. That’s less than 30 cents per day. And you get to start with a 7-day free trial, too!

This is a New Year's deal, so it won't last long. Get the same alternative data and AI stock picks that outperformed the market… at half price.

We’ve written a lot of pieces we’re proud of this year, and we’re only proud of them because of the feedback we’ve gotten from you all on them. (By the way, we read every email and survey response, so please do say hi if you want!)

These 5 editions are the ones that our readers got the most value from this year. Essentially, these are reader-selected based on the investing topics and nuggets of info that you all responded most to. We hope you enjoy them.

Now, without further ado…

This edition is for everyone who’s dreamed about creating meaningful, consistent cash flow with their stock portfolio.

It is possible. In fact, it’s quite simple.

Here, we laid out exactly how to build up to $1,000/month in dividend payouts, and listed out a lot of stocks you could consider including in your portfolio.

Before you ask, the skill we’re talking about here is position sizing. It’s the number 1 key to managing risk, and it separates decent investors from proficient ones.

To be frank, it doesn’t even matter if you have a good stock pick if you don’t know how to size your position properly.

Alts is the go-to newsletter for investors who are tired of the same public market ideas. 

Each week, Stefan and Wyatt surface real opportunities in overlooked asset classes — from tequila barrels, to K-Pop music rights, to film financing bridge loans.

This isn’t just a newsletter though. They create special purpose vehicles (SPVs) so you can invest directly into each deal alongside the community.

This edition highlighted an interesting trend: Google is apparently testing out real estate listings in its search results.

Which is essentially the entire function of Zillow (for most users).

We’re curious to see how that shapes out for both companies in 2026.

Is it a death sentence for Zillow or no? →

Sizing your initial investment is only half the battle. What happens after your initial position (5% of your portfolio) has grown to 10%? When do you sell, when do you not?

And how can you save on tax losses through rebalancing?

We covered all that and more here:
