Dear Investors -
We are excited to announce the launch of our new research platform here on Substack! Thank you for your patience and sticking by us as we continue to hone our product. Here you can expect to obtain reliable, streamlined intelligence across a broad-spectrum of investing categories. We will place special emphasis on Cryptocurrencies, Digital Assets, Equities, Commodities and Alternate Investments. At Ares, we leverage a series of various Data Science Protocols to collect and contextualize actionable intelligence. We then couple that with macro/micro-trend analysis to provide a more holistic picture vs just acting as a stat aggregator.
With that said, our mission is to keep you sharp, dangerous and informed. Knowledge is projectable power, after all. Without further ado, let’s dive in.
