International Investing

Our goal here at Alts is to bring you unique investing opportunities. Stuff outside the mainstream. Under-explored assets, companies, and markets.

It’s a big wide world out there. There is so much emphasis on the US (and for good reason — America has the most interesting companies and the most dynamic economy in the world.)

But the fact is opportunities lie all over the place. And some of the most under-discussed opportunities are in investing in other countries.

Thanks again for your ​feature on DXYZ​! I invested and paid for my entire Spain vacation, as it cruised to the mid $90s from going public around $8-10/share. That's the kind of tax problem I like to have."

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

Alts brings me unique investment opportunities and insights that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. For me, it’s a simple and enjoyable way to stay informed on financial topics that are way outside of the mainstream news sources.

Alts is the only email newsletter I've read from start to finish from day one. The effort that Stefan & Wyatt provide is the next-level analysis you've been waiting for. They break down each asset in detail, metric by metric, and serve it up in a brief email with graphics and links.

Absolute must-read every time it hits my inbox. Stefan and Wyatt are web wizards, appraising assets using a mixture of arcane product knowledge, SEO sorcery and metrics magic. They lift a veil shrouding the Internet to show its secret world of investment opportunities.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.
