At Zeal we undertake a great deal of financial-market research.  As these countless projects mature and approach fruition, we strive to communicate our findings through our various publications.  But if you've read our essays, our monthly newsletters, our weekly alerts, and our periodic reports yet we still haven't addressed a particular issue that deeply concerns you, we also offer elite private one-on-one consulting.  Through this service we can focus our undivided attention on you alone and work with you to address your concerns.

Since time is so valuable and scarce, our personal consulting time is expensive.  Regardless of the amount of success with which we are blessed, we can never gain more time.  Due to this unyielding scarcity of time coupled with the high demand for our counsel relative to the day or so a week we can each devote to consulting, our rates have to be high so demand balances with supply.  But our clients find the benefits of harnessing all of our hard-won expertise and wisdom working directly for them alone outweighs the costs.

Are you a good match for our private consulting services?

If you wish to know how we are trading our own personal capital or what we think about the markets at any particular moment, then it is far less expensive to subscribe to our Zeal Speculator alerts service than consult with us individually.  Each Zeal Speculator is written as candidly as if it was a private report for you alone, but it is far more efficient all the way around since we can serve many clients at once with this premium publication.  We definitely recommend you check it out before you retain our private consulting services.

If you have something unique to you personally however that you would like to confidentially discuss with a Zeal principal, then click on one of our names above in the navigation bar and consider our services.  Much of our consulting work is custom portfolio design and evaluation for private individual investors and speculators.  We carefully consider your concerns and goals and then build a suggested portfolio for you that combines your unique interests with all of our research, writings, and experience on the markets.

In addition to highly-tailored individual portfolios based on the Zeal approach, we are also happy to consider other work.  Examples include an independent evaluation of a company in which you are considering making a major investment, a specific question on a company you already have a stake in which requires research to address, or even simply to act as a battle-hardened sounding board for you to bounce your investment and speculation ideas off of.  We will only accept work we feel we can exceed your expectations on.

We never accept any work that puts us at odds with our subscribers.  Our loyalties lie with them alone.  As such, we do not usually accept consulting engagements from corporations.  If we do, we will never recommend that company in the future as it is a big conflict of interest.  We will also never work on promotional campaigns designed to drum up investor interest.  Our consulting goal is to make ourselves available to apply our knowledge and wisdom directly for individual investors and speculators, not to conspire against them.
