Five years ago this month, I hit “publish” on the first edition of The Wolf of Harcourt Street.
There were no subscribers, no community, just me documenting my investment decisions and hoping to connect with a few like-minded investors.
Today, we’re 9k strong, spanning continents, experience levels, and investment styles. Some of you have been here since the early days, others joined last week, but you’re all part of what has become a truly global community of independent investors.
I started this newsletter as a finance professional and private investor who wanted to apply the same analytical framework I use in my day job to my own portfolio. The mission was simple: understand the business behind the stock. Think like an owner, not a renter.
Over these five years, I’ve analysed hundreds of companies. I’ve dissected quarterly earnings until 2 AM. And the messages I’ve received from many of you, telling me that this newsletter has given you the confidence to manage your own portfolio, make better decisions, and think more clearly about investing, have made every hour worth it.
But here’s the thing: I need your help.
As we enter year six, I want to make sure The Wolf of Harcourt Street continues to deliver exactly what you need, not what I think you need, not what other newsletters do, but what matters most to you.
So I’ve put together a short survey (15 questions, roughly 5 minutes) to help me understand:
What content resonates most with you (and what doesn’t)
Which companies and sectors you want more coverage on
How the newsletter fits into your investment process
What would make this even more valuable in 2025 and beyond
As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey will be entered to win a copy of The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life by Morgan Housel, his highly anticipated new book releasing soon. One winner will be drawn after 7 days.
Your feedback will directly shape the future of this newsletter. I’ll be reading every single response, and I’ll share the aggregate results in a future edition. Your individual responses will remain 100% anonymous.
This community has grown because of your referrals, your engagement in the chat, and your thoughtful questions. Now I’m asking you to help make the next five years even better than the first.
The survey closes in 7 days. Take 5 minutes today:
Thank you for being here. Whether you’ve been along for the ride since November 2020 or just joined yesterday, I’m grateful to have you as part of this community.
Here’s to the next chapter.
P.S. Seriously, your input matters. This isn’t a box-ticking exercise. The insights from this survey will inform every deep dive, every earnings analysis, and every strategic decision I make for this newsletter in 2026. Don’t hold back.
If you’d like to support the work of an independent analyst, you can buy me a coffee. The proceeds will contribute to covering the annual running costs of the newsletter.
