Behind the Scenes with Porter Stansberry

Debating Business Ideas with the Newsletter Kingpin

Dear Reader,

A friend of mine was working at a company that Porter Stansberry acquired several years ago.

He said the speech Porter gave after the deal closed was a master class in persuasion. I’ve wanted to better understand how he turned $36K into a $3B by writing financial research ever since.

Meeting Porter in Baltimore more than lived up to expectations. Here are some additional insights from our conversations.

In this post, we’ll discuss:

• The unlikely newsletter hub of Baltimore

• Porter’s marketing genius

• Illegal activity in the newsletter world

• The stocks Porter brought up in our interview

• Porter’s controversies

• Marketwise, the stock

• The business Porter thinks I should start

• Swallowing poison
