Money Racket Pro

Get to the money before Wall Street connects the dots.

A contract award, an executive order, a tariff cut — each one mints winners before the financial press catches up. Pro gets you there first, every market morning before the open: what happened, who cashes in (named, with tickers), and exactly what to watch.

Here's everything you unlock
ALL

Every catalyst, decoded

The full archive of policy-to-profit briefings — no weekly limit, no wall — plus every new one the moment Washington moves. Free readers get 1 article a week (2 with a free account); Pro reads all of it.

See it → TICKERS

Who cashes in — by name

Every White House order, federal contract, and FDA decision traced to the public companies that profit — named, with tickers, the direct winners and the suppliers riding their coattails.

See it → 7:45a

The pre-market brief

Every market morning — Monday through Saturday at 7:45am ET, before the bell — the catalysts that moved money in the last 24 hours, decoded, with who cashes in and what to watch. Saturday brings the weekly wrap-up and the week ahead.

See it → DAILY

The catalyst tracker

The running feed of market-moving policy — executive orders, defense awards, rule changes, approvals — as they hit, not weeks later when the Street finally writes them up.

See it → TRACKED

Our record on every call

Every catalyst becomes a tracked play with an entry point, so you can see how the calls have actually done — the credibility most newsletters never show you.

See it → SOURCED

Straight from the record

The Federal Register, defense.gov contract awards, USASpending, the SEC and FDA — read directly and cited, never rehashed from finance blogs. A verification step drops any ticker that doesn't hold up.

Why this exists

By the time it's news, the money's already moved.

A contract is awarded, an executive order drops, a tariff shifts, an approval clears — and the stock has already run before the financial press connects the dots. Money Racket reads the entire field every day so you don't have to, and hands you the few catalysts that actually move money — with who profits and what to watch. That edge costs less than a couple of coffees a month.

Questions, answered

Everything you’re probably wondering.

How often will I actually hear from you?

The brief lands every market morning — Monday through Saturday at 7:45am ET, before the open — catching you up on the last 24 hours. Saturday is the weekly wrap-up and the week ahead. Built to be read in two minutes before the bell.

Is this investment advice?

No. Money Racket is a general-audience publication about public policy and its effects on markets. It isn't personalized investment, financial, or tax advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Do your own research and consider a licensed advisor before investing.

Where does the “who profits” come from — is it guessed?

It's grounded in the public record. Official federal sources name the recipients: defense.gov contract announcements, USASpending awards, the Federal Register, SEC filings, and FDA decisions. We trace each catalyst to the U.S.-listed companies tied to it, and a verification step drops any ticker that doesn't cleanly hold up.

Can I really cancel anytime?

Yes — one click from your account page, which opens our secure Stripe portal. You keep access through the period you've paid for, and you're simply not billed again. Annual plans also carry a 14-day money-back guarantee.

What's free, and what needs Pro?

The daily catalyst headlines are free, plus 1 full article a week — or 2 a week with a free account. Pro unlocks every briefing with the full who-cashes-in thesis and tickers, the 6-day pre-market brief, and our tracked record — with no weekly limit.

Monthly or annual — which should I pick?

Monthly ($40) is the easiest way to start. Annual is $400 — two months free — and comes with the 14-day money-back guarantee, so there's no real risk in choosing it.
