As we approach the end of 2025, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all your contributions to our Compound & Fire quality investing community. It’s been truly inspiring to see how we’ve built the only free-to-join space dedicated to quality investing, where there’s no need to pay membership fees, allowing us all to direct our resources straight into stock ideas and knowledge sharing. Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.This year, we’ve grown to an impressive 2.653 Subscribers, 230.000 views in a year, 6.508 followers on Substack, 630 members on our Discord app, with some of you actively sharing insights and others preferring to observe and learn quietly. I’ve even received heartfelt messages from some “silent” members, letting me know how much they value this community. It’s those notes that keep me motivated. One of the highlights has been launching the Collective Fire Framework initiative, where about 10 dedicated members collaborate on in-depth stock analyses, providing each other with constructive feedback. This has already resulted in some outstanding work, and I’m excited for the additional deep dives and shared knowledge it will bring in the months ahead. I am also very happy with my premiere Compounding Leaders podcast with Brett Kelly, a new way for me to compound and share investment wisdom. And let’s not forget the first-ever stock list competition—there’s still time to join today and share your top 3 picks for 2026! I’ll be curating a portfolio from the 10 most-picked stocks and tracking its performance throughout the year. It’s going to be a fun and educational ride. Looking forward, I’m thrilled at the potential for even more active participation, where we can exchange quality investment ideas, position sizing strategies, and overall approaches to building wealth. Wishing you all a prosperous and fulfilling 2026. I will start 2026 with an annual letter about my performance and learnings.Stay calm and let’s continue compounding our knowledge and wealth together. Thank you! Thanks for reading!
