Blunt, factual, and above all, fearless, Jason Simpkins has worked as a financial reporter and analyst for the past 10 years, earning a well-deserved reputation for honesty and candor.
Born and raised in New Jersey, he graduated from Loyola University (MD) in 2006. He remained in Baltimore where he cut his teeth as an entry-level financial reporter before being tapped to manage a major financial publication at the age of 25.
In that time, Simpkins wrote more than 1,000 articles pertaining to personal finance and macroeconomics. He had a front-row seat to the 2008 financial collapse, and the subsequent sovereign debt crises. His global focus also led to major investigations into the Chinese economy and the oil market.
Ever ambitious, he set out to launch his own energy-based investment newsletter, serving as editor-in-chief. His insights on oil, natural gas, coal, and other forms of energy were widely read, culminating in the launch of a high-end trading service that specialized in delivering triple-digit gains to its members.
Simpkins is the founder and editor of Secret Stock Files, an investment service that focuses on companies with assets — tangible resources and products that can hold and appreciate in value. He covers mining companies, energy companies, defense contractors, dividend payers, commodities, staples, legacies and more…
In 2023 he joined The Wealth Advisory team as a defense market analyst where he reviews and recommends new military and government opportunities that come across his radar, especially those that spin-off healthy, growing income streams.
