About

Flack Jacket Finance is an experienced operator's coverage of investment-newsletter promotions, the gurus who front them, and the publishers who run them.

Sarge is someone who traded on the floor for three or four decades. Accumulated enough experience to look at what is happening in the market today — or at one of these promotions — and see the more interesting story underneath. Not a veteran. Never claims service. The name is a bit, worn lightly. What he IS: an operator who has been around long enough that his conclusions are worth reading because of everything he knows.

We are not affiliated with any publisher we cover. We do not sell stock picks. We do not sell the promos. We dimensionalize the ideas — add context, history, market mechanics, and the story behind the story that the pitch could not fit.

The reader came because an idea caught their attention. We make that idea bigger, deeper, more contextual. They leave knowing more, not trusting less.
