First and foremost, thank you.
Thank you for having been a past subscriber over the last eight years at Brownstone Research.
And thank you for making the effort to search and find me at Brownridge. I’m grateful and excited to reconnect in my new “house.”
The last few months have been an awkward transition for me. After all, our connection was abruptly severed this summer when I stopped writing and publishing my research and analysis.
For that, I’m sorry. It was deeply disappointing and heartbreaking for me, and yet it was not my decision.
After decades of experience in business, I’ve found one thing is always true. There is always change. Business priorities change, business strategies change, and as an employee of a company, which I was, many decisions were not mine to make.
As a result, on August 26th, 2023, I amicably parted ways with MarketWise, the parent company of Brownstone Research. I wish the team at MarketWise well, and now its time to move on.
I’m reminded of a great quote from Epictetus, “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
While I used some of my newfound time to take care of family matters, and focus more on my health, I’m not one to sit around, relax, and burn our most valuable resource — time. I believe in living life with purpose. Which is exactly what I intend to do. And no, that doesn’t mean retirement.
The reality is that the mission my team and I had got cut short. After eight years of hard work and sacrifice, we had only just arrived to the point where I was able to open up new kind of investment opportunities.
Specifically, I’m referring to those that were previously only accessible to institutional and high net worth investors. I felt like we were just getting started.
That means there is so much more to do.
And I’ll have to do that under a new “house," which will be my own, without the restrictions that come with working for another company. That kind of freedom is special, and I don’t intend to waste it.
I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming weeks. I’ve been busy, hard at work as usual, and I have some fantastic ideas about where to go next.
The current environment that we find ourselves in continues to be challenging. And needless to say, the world has become no less interesting in the last few months. In fact, it has become far more complex and chaotic.
And in chaos, there is always opportunity, which I intend to share with my subscribers as I rebuild that connection, with your help.
In the days that follow, I’ll be sharing more about my new venture, Brownridge Research. And I’ll also begin the process of researching and writing on a daily basis.
The outreach over the last few months has been heartwarming and, more importantly, motivating. It’s the catalyst for me to get back at it, rather than hang up my hat to retire and just invest.
For now, please keep an eye out for the first issue of my new free daily e-letter, Outer Limits. It may not be daily at first. There is a lot of work to be done, but we’ll get there.
I’ll also be opening up the lines for communication so that we can have some fun with a Friday A.M.A. issue (Ask Me Anything) each week. After all, there is never a shortage of interesting topics to discuss.
No matter how chaotic it gets in the months to come, it’s always good for us to remind ourselves that things will improve. The markets will return to health. And the investment opportunities in growth assets will return with a vengeance, which is something I know my subscribers will be ready for.
Thanks for your patience, there is much more to follow…

As a Brownstone Unlimited member, I was so glad to see you writing, researching, back in business, so to speak. It was your research that was a massive amount of my investment education. I started late, or late to the party, so my education etc. had to be accelerated. You played a major role in that on-going process. So, I am grateful, and in your debt. [...] I look forward to moving forward with you into the future. — H.W.
It's great to have you back. I was worried that you may be ill, thank god you’re not. You are now free to speak your mind and from the limitations that were placed upon you. Simply fantastic, welcome back. — Roger

I discovered Jeff Brown shortly after I retired in 2021 and have never met anyone like him, especially in his field. I believe him to be wise, intelligent, articulate, honest, kind, a man of integrity, with a true desire to help others. I have missed him terribly. His stories and truth are so needed in this world right now. — Gina L.
So great to have you back Jeff!!! It was so sad to see you go and not read you every day like I used to. You have very profound knowledge on so many topics and your newsletter was the best in the market! Thanks for your great work. — Mathias

Dear Jeff, how very nice to have you back and you started off with a bang. — James K.
Fahgeddabout Houston: Brownridge, YOU have LIFT OFF! Hallelujah for your astute foresight and proactive acumen! I am excited about your latest development and evolvement into the promises soon to come despite the bad world actors in Big Pharma, Big Media, Big Tech, and pseudo-government wannabes. Keep the great intel coming because critical thinkers (including myself) will happily devour it. — Erin B.
I am a former subscriber to Brownstone Research and a big fan of Jeff Brown, whose career I began followed as a law student in 1996 (at age 40). As a Brownstone subscriber and novice investor I joined Jeff as a lifetime member of Brownstone and Jeff aided greatly in my investing education and tech knowledge. I made money with Jeff's help and I look forward to subscribing to his newest endeavor when he gets started. Congrats and thank you to Jeff for getting up off the carpet, getting his health squared away, and getting back to it. He could have just retired and lived the good life. He didn't and I applaud him. I've been there myself, more than once and it's NOT easy. Too many never get back up and recover. Best wished in the future and I hope Brownridge Research is a resounding success. I subscribed to Outer Limits and read it as often as possible and I await further info on Brownridge. — Stephen L.
Jeff, it is so good to have you back, and I am glad for you to now have the freedom to do and say what you believe and feel good about! — Joe S.

It seems like forever since I last read a missive from you and I've really missed them. The investment info was good and your explanations of the biotechindustry was a fascinating read. [...] Thanks again for coming back. You have a loyal following and I'm happy to be one of them. — Ron W.
Dear Jeff, I'm so glad to see you "back in the saddle." Your insights into all things tech (and other topic) was a highlight of my day. You are a voice of sanity, in a world of talking heads. So looking forward to what the future holds, scary and otherwise. — Dave T.

Oh my gosh Jeff… It's so good to have you back! Your broad coverage, without spin, and the clarity you bring while delving into any technology is refreshing and was sorely missed. I don't know any of the details regarding your separation from your previous publisher, but it is good to assume you are now in control. I look forward to your enlightening review of technology, and hopefully you will provide a means for viewers to toss questions your way. Honestly, I'll sleep better tonight knowing you are back. God Bless Jeff! — Clayson
WOW. I'm happy to find you, Mr. Brown. Your sudden disappearance from Brownstone Research had me worried about your health. I'm glad that you are still writing. I was truly hurt that you suddenly left. I became a lifetime member all because of your detailed recommendations and all to thorough research and boots-on-the-ground investigations. Very happy to be back with you sir. — Thomas W.

Jeff, so happy to see “anything” you have to say about things financial. Your presence has been missed by myself. — Vince L.
I sure was bummed when all of a sudden this past fall, Jeff was no longer communicating via Brownstone Research. I eventually reached out to customer service to express my concerns as to Jeff's health and they did not offer me any news on his condition and or his whereabouts. Thus, this is Great News to have finally found him. Please sign me up. — Bob S.
As always, I look forward to reading all that you write. I learn so much from every article. Thank you. — Marion S.
Jeff, your magic is bringing change to life, allowing the reader to view new opportunities in real life. You have me hooked on your essays, again! — Dave G.

It certainly changed the way I viewed many things in the technology industry and helped give me a whole lot more clarity. You helped me to produce some great returns for my clients. Man, I have missed you. Thanks for coming back. — Mitch G.
Jeff, I wasn't a happy camper when you left Brownstone Research as a paid-up lifetime subscriber. How great to see your smiling face "back on the ground"!! I have always enjoyed your work, opinions, transparency and zeal. Having you back is a very big deal to me. I will be curious to see where this new vehicle will be headed. Welcome Home! — Jim L.
