Host

Dan Ferris is the editor of Extreme Value, a monthly investment advisory that focuses on some of the safest and yet most profitable stocks in the market: great businesses trading at steep discounts...

Dan joined Stansberry Research in 2000. He became editor of Extreme Value in 2002. His strategy of finding safe, cheap, and profitable stocks has earned him a loyal following – as well as one of the most impressive track records in the industry.

Longtime Extreme Value readers have enjoyed a long list of double- and triple-digit winners thanks to Dan's diligent research, including Berkshire Hathaway (125%), KHD Humboldt Wedag (249%), International Royalty (248%), Alexander & Baldwin (198%), Icahn Enterprises (142%), Latin American Export Bank (133%), Intel (133%), and Prestige Brands Holdings (406%), among many others.

Dan was among the few analysts to accurately describe the breadth and depth of the coming financial crisis in April 2008. And he told investors to get out of small-cap mining stocks in May 2011, just before they went into a brutal, multi-year bear market.

Dan's track record, candid voice, and deep research are why Extreme Value counts more than 20 major financial firms and well-known fund managers as subscribers.

As a result of his work in Extreme Value, Dan has appeared on Money with Melissa Francis and The Willis Report on Fox Business News, as well as The Street with Paul Bagnell on Business News Network. He has also been featured several times in Barron's, the Value Investing Letter, and numerous financial radio programs around the country.

Dan is also the host of the Stansberry Investor Hour podcast. Each week, he shares research findings, market insights, and the occasional trade idea. He has interviewed finance luminaries like Michael Mauboussin, James Grant, James Montier, and Bill Browder, as well as leading thinkers like Annie Duke, Matt Ridley, Ron Paul, and Dr. Gad Saad.

Host

Corey McLaughlin is the editor of the Stansberry Digest. The daily newsletter takes hundreds of thousands of paid subscribers "inside the room" at Stansberry Research with the most important news, ideas, and opportunities we're following each day.

Corey is a writer and editor with 15 years of professional experience whose work has appeared in numerous national and regional publications. He's worked for newspapers, magazines, websites, and publications in the financial-research industry and beyond.

Each evening, Corey aims to puts the current financial news in context, explores long-term investing trends, highlights our editors' best and latest research, and shows subscribers how they can use the information to independently manage their portfolios.

For instance, in February 2020, before most people had heard of COVID-19, Corey wrote a piece titled, "What Happens If Everyone Works From Home." Corey envisioned a major shift in the global economy occurring because of the virus. As he wrote...

Think about it: Amazon (AMZN), as well as other online retailers and related web-based platforms, does an insane amount of business... in part because of the convenience it provides.

In a world where parts of the U.S. would be under quarantine with folks working from home for a long period of time, businesses like that become a necessity.

A month later, the markets had fallen roughly 30% from their previous highs amid the COVID-19 panic. Corey again shared a prescient commentary with subscribers – the idea that the stock market had bottomed and now was the time to "buy."

He urged readers to listen to our founder Porter Stansberry's message to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity in the stocks of the world's best businesses. And within five months, the U.S. benchmark S&P 500 Index doubled.

Corey graduated from Penn State University, where he double majored in journalism and anthropology. While there, he also worked as a reporter and editor for the independent student newspaper, The Daily Collegian.

Corey is also a senior contributing writer for the award-winning Baltimore magazine. He earned a master's degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University in 2021 and lives in Baltimore with his wife and two children.
