Exciting News 🔈: RhinoInsight going (almost) FREE for 2024
And Some Reflections on 2023, New Updates, Backlog of Ideas
Firstly, I wish a Happy New Year to all my readers and subscribers, as well as to the entire Substack community 🍾🥳🎉
As we step into 2024, I want to share some exciting news and updates 👇
RhinoInsight going (almost) FREE for 2024
To kickstart this year with something exceptional, I'm thrilled to announce a significant change at RhinoInsight. I've decided to offer all of RhinoInsight’s work for just $1 per month, making it (almost) free for the entire year of 2024 (subscribe by January 31, 2024)
This move is fueled not only by my mission to democratize access to investment data and insights powered by Data and AI but also to ensure that RhinoInsight has the opportunity to reach as many people as possible. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to make informed investment decisions, and through this initiative, RhinoInsight aims to become more accessible to a wider audience, providing valuable insights to all.
Then, Why "almost" free?
You might wonder why not completely free? It ties back to my philosophy that "there is no free lunch" in life. Thus, I have introduced a nominal fee of $1 per month, which is far less than a cup of coffee in almost anywhere around the globe. This small contribution helps me to stay true to my philosophy while keeping my work accessible to a broader audience.
However, if you feel that my work or any of my previous and future write-ups deserve more, you can always buy me a coffee (or two 😉).
What Happens After 2024?
The special offer of accessing RhinoInsight for just $1 per month is a unique opportunity for 2024. As we approach the end of this year, depending on the feedback from my subscribers, the pricing for 2025 and beyond may be revised.
I assure you that all subscribers will be notified well in advance about the pricing plans for the subsequent years, ensuring transparency and allowing ample time for decision-making.
Some Reflections on 2023
Looking back at 2023, it's been a year of learning for RhinoInsight. I've had my share of challenges and triumphs, and I'd like to share some key reflections:
Lessons Learned
Rapid transition to paid subscription: I realized that moving too swiftly into a paid subscription model, particularly after just the third article, significantly impacted visibility and reach. This experience, particularly as a newcomer without a vast network in the world of finance or email list, provided a significant lesson that I believe would be beneficial for all new starters on Substack.
Balancing content delivery and research: Consistently delivering content every 2-4 weeks while grappling with the need for further research and readiness was a challenge. It taught me the importance of pacing and the value of thorough research in providing high-quality content. I will particularly work on improving this aspect throughout 2024, ensuring that the content is both informative and engaging, while being delivered in a timely manner.
What I’m Thankful For
Valuable connections and support: I am immensely grateful for the support received from the community. A special mention goes to
, who, after a quick reach out on Twitter, kindly featured my early write-ups in his popular . This exposure was essential in gaining my first subscribers and increasing visibility.Collaborations and exchanges: My interaction with
, who reached out to me after a comment on one of his Twitter/X posts, led to regular exchanges of ideas and thoughts on various aspects of the financial world. These interactions have been enriching and thought-provoking.Learning from peers: While enjoying
work and write-ups, her approach of communication taught me the importance of meaningful interactions with fellow writers. Instead of mere likes, offering constructive and insightful comments has proven to be far more rewarding and beneficial for both parties.
And of course, a big thank you to the entire Substack team for creating such an amazing platform❤️
Looking Ahead: Some Updates in 2024
As I look forward to the exciting developments in 2024 for RhinoInsight, here are some updates:
The Friday Roundup: I will continue sharing The Friday Roundup, which includes the most interesting write-ups, deep-dives, and links to other finance-related content. To provide more comprehensive and thoughtful content, this roundup will now be published bi-weekly.
The Insider Report: This report, focusing on 🇩🇪, 🇨🇭, and 🇺🇸 insider trades for now, will be shared on a monthly basis from now on. For those of you interested in daily or weekly updates, you can still access it directly through the web app here for each market.
I've been working on this as a side project, and while it may have some bugs, I warmly welcome your feedback and any issues you might encounter.Company Deep-Dives: The commitment to providing insightful company deep-dives will continue, with a primary focus on Micro- and Small Caps. These in-depth analyses will be available approx. every four weeks. Additionally, I’ll enable Substack’s chat function for each deep-dive, allowing for interactive discussions where we can delve deeper into specific aspects and engage more directly with each other.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the companies currently on my list for in-depth coverage. Please note that this list may change as new opportunities emerge.
Backlog of Ideas: 2024 and Beyond
Over the recent months, I've also had some ideas that I'm still considering how best to deliver. Whether these will be covered regularly in 2024 or just as experimental content, taking feedback from my network and then moving to upcoming years, remains to be seen.
Technical Wirteups: I had the idea of starting and sharing a series of posts with practical tips on how to leverage Software and AI tools to process vast amounts of data, including textual content (e.g., from annual reports, earnings call transcripts, news ) and derive insights. I don’t know yet whether it will be shared under RhinoInsight on Substack or on another platform.
RhinoAcedemy: Looking further ahead, I'm planning the launch of RhinoAcademy. This platform will offer educational content at the intersection of Finance and Software, aimed at enhancing knowledge and skills in these converging areas. Additionally, I would like to provide some insights into behavioral finance, as this was one of my focus study areas in 2023. I've read a lot about it and believe it's far more important than knowing how to calculate intrinsic values.
Macro, Market, and Megatrends: Another area that has piqued my interest in recent years is Geopolitics, alongside Monetary and Fiscal Policy, Inflation, International Trade and Finance, and Business Cycles. I aim to cover these topics and provide data-driven insights, presented with clear and effective visualizations. Additionally, I plan to delve into specific market dynamics in sectors such as Healthcare, Technology, and Transportation, which significantly impact the global economy. I also intend to explore megatrends like autonomous driving and digitalization, understanding their role in shaping future economic landscapes
So, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting and transformative year, full of new insights and opportunities for growth. Let’s start!
