How To Come Out On Top In 2024
242: Arbitrage Andy 2024 Mega Guide
Well folks — I want to say thank you to all of the Arb Letter subscribers. If you’re relatively new here, here’s a quick run down of who I am and what my background is.
In 2017 while working my first job in trading in New York City, I started Arbitrage Andy, a financial meme page tailored to the juvenile and exciting life I had in the city pre covid. Memes, finance content, and degeneracy were documented on my instagram page that grew to 250,000 followers before being shadow-banned and reach throttled into the utter ether by the globalists and communists in big tech. I still post there — but the gusto and momentum I once had are likely things of the past now.
But so is my older self.
I was fortunate enough to grow my online business from this first endeavor — pioneering financial merchandise, striking some awesome ad deals, and forming some partnerships that have lasted to this day.
Last year I decided to start a new venture that would allow me to formalize my online presence AND more importantly, talk about content and topics that the overlords at Instagram would not approve of. Arb Letter has grown from a handful of free subscribers to a community of 22,500 subscribers, many of them premium, who subscribe for realistic and down to earth takes on financial markets, politics, and life.
I’ve always lived my life in the most earnest and straightforward way possible — and in recent years I saw that pragmatic and candid style begin to be demonized, instead, the media, our government, and society opts to sugarcoat everything or worse, misrepresent the hard truths that govern our existence.
The Covid 19 pandemic changed my life and worldview forever, the life and views I once had were jaded and altered when I realized what was going on around the globe and in our country — what has been going on and where we are headed inevitably. I watched family and friends turn on each other, mass psychological campaigns against the public, watched woke marxism take a grip on companies, campuses, cities, and corporate culture, and realized that there were things in life that meant more to me than prestige or sitting at a desk for 12 hours a day. There were also immediate things I needed to factor into my decision making in the coming years.
I saw the way people acted in the face of clear deception and tyranny — and what I saw rattled me.
So — I wanted to start Arb Letter to get realistic commentary in front of as many people as possible. To me — one of the most valuable offerings in the current landscape is getting people truthful and realistic information. So much of what we see this days is tailored, filtered, and signed off on by the people that control and govern our lives.
Information is the most valuable asset moving forward and I am working to make Arb Letter one of the providers of this service as we move into 2024.
