"Flattery Wealth faced a lackluster 2025 due to Bitcoin consolidation and a pullback in MSTR, but remains highly constructive on its core holdings (including ASTS and HEI) as long-term compounders over a 3-5 year horizon."
Executive Summary
Flattery Wealth Management's January 2026 investor letter reviews a challenging 2025. While the S&P 500 returned 18%, Flattery's Core Individual Stock portfolio gained just 1.54% and the Growth ETF portfolio fell 1.8%, primarily dragged down by its high-conviction exposure to Bitcoin and a 47.53% decline in MicroStrategy (MSTR). Conversely, AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) surged 245%, HEICO (HEI) rose 36%, and Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (CEF) surged 90%. The manager introduces an analogy comparing AI to the 'gunpowder moment' of 15th-century warfare, leveling the playing field for smaller, nimble participants while disrupting legacy systems. Looking forward, the manager remains highly constructive on their concentrated, contrarian positions over a 3-5 year horizon.
