I’ve been a member of Kirk Spanos Fundamental Trends community for some time now, and I can confidently say it’s been transformative—not just for my portfolio but for my personal growth as an investor. This isn’t your average subscription service; Kirk have built a genuine community of people who are passionate about investing, not only to generate returns but also to support and uplift one another.

As someone with moderate investing experience but a tendency toward impulsive decisions and emotional trading, I’ve struggled to stay disciplined in the past. Through Kirk and Teresa’s mentorship, I’ve learned to control those impulses, manage my emotions, and approach investing with patience and strategy. Kirk’s analogy of “cutting through the building before the crowd and getting around the corner before they show up” perfectly describes their forward-looking approach to identifying opportunities early.

Their insights and guidance have not only improved my investment returns but have also reshaped the way I think about the markets and long-term wealth creation. They go beyond providing stock recommendations; they’re true mentors who emphasize the importance of emotional discipline, strategic planning, and personal growth.

In my opinion, the subscription fee for Fundamental Trends is grossly undervalued. Based on the value I’ve gained—both financially and personally—it’s easily worth 10 times what they’re charging. If you’re serious about investing and want to surround yourself with a supportive community led by two incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful mentors, Fundamental Trends is a no-brainer.

I just want to put this out there for those that may be considering membership, if you’re like I was – having limited investing experience (less than several years or more and many, many hundreds of trades) and find yourself often unsure of what to do in any given situation, let me share with you this – in the last week not only was I able to avoid a several percent drop and avoid losses of several to many thousands, I also made several thousands using the knowledge and employing the strategies learned here in less than 1 year at Fundamental Trends. In the grand scheme of things, my portfolio is very small, so when I say thousands for me, it could easily mean tens of thousands or more for someone else. May the Fed be with you!

Kirk goes into the field to interview CEOs and execs from the companies he is interested in. He goes to conferences, “infiltrates” conventions, and all that to get a privileged understanding of the industry and then shares some golden nuggets with us. How many other analysts do this? I really like that we can talk about very different asset classes(crypto, oil, biotech, tech, etc.) at a macro level, or go into shorter-term technical analysis for opportunistic trades.

I found Kirk on YouTube talking about the 4th industrial revolution and I was hooked, as I work in tech and I’m witnessing firsthand the ongoing sea change. He has been a great (and friendly) mentor on my investing journey and I’ve improved greatly in my decision-making and investing psychology. This is still the beginning and I am looking forward to a fascinating decade.

Kirk is also a good poker player – if you have ever been to a WSOP tournament in Las Vegas, you realize how much focus it takes to be able play and last for days. That says something about the man.

I have been investing for years and trading for longer (poorly). Kirks sobering views and insights have helped fortify my investing plan, asset allocation and aligned the fundamentals and macro views to ensure I make decisions suited to my needs. If you are looking for an edge, insights and some real market education then Kirks service is what you need.

His VSLs (watchlists) to assist the portfolio construction and maintenance are worth the subscription alone! Coupled with the quartley game plan and stocks of the week with accompanying videos explaining in more detail his thinkings are not only insightful and entertaining, but on the money!!

Kirk is an outstanding analyst and a great source of investment ideas in all types of markets. Over the four years I subscribed to his service, I’ve realized impressive returns on Berkshire Hathaway, Palantir and Marathon Digital to name just a few. Kirk focused me on space stocks which I would never have considered on my own. Spire Global and AST Space Mobil have been 2X and 3X returns for me in just the last 12 months. Kirk is also a great investment coach constantly keeping his clients focused on economic trends and market risks that could devastate a less well-informed retail investor’s portfolio.
