My prices.Your phone.The moment they hit.

Every morning I tell you the stocks I like and the price I want to pay. Then the level hits at 2 PM while you're at work. You find out about it in tomorrow's episode.

The Desk ends that: my dip list set up for you, kept current daily, with my reasoning attached to every alert.

▲ Dip alert — NBIS $193

Gary’s level: under $200 · set Jul 31

“Buy under 200 is the plan. I think it gets back to 300.”

Not financial advice. My actual desk, my actual levels. You are not me — do your own homework.

What's inside

Three things. Every trading day.

No hour of listening, no scribbled notes, no babysitting alerts. I do the four hours of homework. The Desk is the part you actually use.

The Dip List

My standing buy-the-dip orders, the exact price I want to pay on every name I'm hunting, set up and maintained for you. When a stock touches my level, your phone buzzes with my reasoning attached. That second.

The Morning Card

The whole episode and newsletter, distilled to what's actionable before the open: where I stand, my levels, my holds into earnings. Plus the names I'm avoiding, which can save you more than any pick.

The receipts

Not cherry-picked backtests. Calls made out loud, on the show, before the move — the exact kind The Desk delivers to your phone, dated.

“Buy under $200 is what I told everyone. That was my plan.”

“When was the last time you got to buy Newmont under the 200-day? December 2024.”

“Do you want to buy it at 225? No. You wanted it at 198 — or 135.”

The question every smart listener asks

“Can’t I just set free alerts on my brokerage?”

Yes, and any brokerage can ping you when a price hits. What it can't do is tell you why Gary picked that number, when he said it, or his other calls on that ticker. That's the actual time you're paying to get back. Here's what following the show actually looks like without The Desk, every trading day, forever:

Do it yourself
  • Try to remember what Gary currently thinks about a ticker. Or dig through three weeks of notes to find out
  • Piece his thinking together from the podcast, the newsletter, and whatever you scribbled down at the time
  • Trust your memory on why he liked it in the first place. Chart, balance sheet, buyback, who knows
  • Hope you heard "363," not "336." One digit is the whole trade
  • Re-do it every time Gary raises, lowers, or kills a level. Miss one episode and your alerts are trading a dead thesis
The Desk
  • One page: his current stance, plus the dated calls behind it
  • One searchable place. Type the ticker, get his calls on it, in order
  • The reasoning is attached and dated, every time. You don't have to trust your memory
  • Every price gets verified before it publishes. No mis-heard digits.
  • He moves a level and yours updates automatically — alerts never go stale

What your brokerage sends

What The Desk sends

Gary’s level: under $200, set Jul 31.

“Buy under 200 is the plan — I think it gets back to 300. Trimmed at 290 earlier in the cycle.”

What The Desk remembers

JUL 31 — “I like it under 200”

→ HIT AUG 11 @ 193 → 224

Search any ticker, get back his calls on it — dated and sourced.

A free alert tells you a number moved. The Desk tells you what Gary thinks it means. And proves he said it before the move.
