About Us
“We’re fighting back against Wall Street’s outdated fear of risk—because risk is the force that fuels real profits.”
The Ideas Wall Street Won’t Give You
Wall Street is a world built on wealth preservation, focusing on playing it safe. They’re afraid of volatility, and hooked on slow, predictable returns, but true profits lies in embracing calculated risk.
Why Punk Rock?
Punk Rock was more than just music; it was a social and cultural revolution. Members of the movement rejected conformity and the whims of the crowd, embraced a do-it-yourself attitude to the music, and deplored mainstream culture and the mainstream music industry.
Punk Rock may initially seem out of place in an investing context until you consider that Wall Street research is stuck in the last century and being against the consensus pays.
Many investors, from hedge funds to day traders, see little value in traditional, long-term research with multi-year horizons. If you’re seeking high returns without the wait, our strategies offer targeted, high-reward opportunities with short time horizons—achieving in months what Wall Street aims for in years, all while managing volatility and calculated risk. Welcome to the revolution.
Our Team
Punk Rock Traders was founded by the original creative team behind FS Insight. Led by Chris Robb, former Vice President and Chief Editor at Fundstrat Global Advisors and author of the widely respected Signal From Noise column, Chris accurately anticipated the rise of NVIDIA, ASML, and others. He was in the top 10% of performance among financial bloggers while publishing on Seeking Alpha. Joining him are Lazlo Vekony, Lead Web Developer, and Daniel Vekony, Lead Media Production—both instrumental in developing FS Insight into a top boutique research product that became a go-to resource for retail investors in the financial industry.
With their combined experience, the Punk Rock Traders team aims to build on the exceptional lessons learned from their time at Wall Street’s premier boutique research firm. The goal being to translate that expertise into actionable, cutting-edge insights tailored for a new generation of investors who demand high-impact ideas and extraordinary returns. Punk Rock Traders are set on reshaping how today’s investors navigate the market.
Wall Street Research Stuck in the 20th Century
The core idea behind our service is that the current Wall Street research complex was built for a different time. Mainstream retail investment hit its stride when the baby boomer generation was much older than us, and financial markets were far less developed, meaning tools available now were unavailable.
The evolution of markets have created an entirely different environment for returns. Leverage is now widely available through options, other derivatives, and ETFs, yet the Wall Street research complex ignores these powerful tools. Put simply, active, younger investors looking to augment their wealth are at a disadvantage if they’re not leveraging these tools.
Whereas volatility is referred to pejoratively in most corridors of finance, we exalt it here at Punk Rock Traders. Volatility is the lifeblood of our trades, and we always seek it rather than seek refuge from it.
Our trades are on a short time horizon producing high returns. Typically, our time horizon is between 3 months and 2 years, but we also have our ultra-high-risk trades that go into maturities of a month or less. A skull and cross bones denote these trades.
What We Offer
Wall Street research is like a movie—you have to sit through it before you know if it’s any good. And just like that, its value fades fast. What sets us apart is speed and agility. Instead of drowning you in endless reports, requiring you to decode them and read between the lines, we deliver real, actionable ideas right when you need them. Our insights land quickly, capturing the opportunity for you to act before it slips away.
We put our money where our mouth is with our research by offering actionable options trades. We don’t talk out of both sides of our mouths. Our calls are raw, unfiltered, and grounded in truth—not corporate interests. We go long and short, and we’re not apologetic about it.
Putting the Edge On, Not Taking it Off
We’re here to break the mold, tear down the consensus, and shatter the crowd mentality. That’s why we’re fusing the raw spirit of Punk Rock with investing.
Just like a true rebel doesn’t back down from the heat in the mosh pit, you should know our trades come with the kind of risk that’ll keep you on the edge.
