147: Francis Hunt, founder of The Market Sniper, The Crypto Sniper & The Reset Sniper

When a South African tells you he’s “not going to try to polish this turd and tell you it looks all grand and glorious,” he ain’t kidding. Francis tells it to you straight, even when the truth reeks to high heaven.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you already know that the financial world is due for a reset and that our current monetary system is a foundationless house of cards that will have to collapse. Until it does, Francis Hunt, founder of the Market Sniper, The Crypto Sniper, and The Reset Sniper, asserts that our most important job is to build wealth so that we can increase the odds of preserving our personal freedoms, which are quickly being eroded. Think masks, lockdowns, restricted movement, vaccines, etc.

Francis is an un-siloed investor, believing that a diverse portfolio is foundational to wealth management. He plays the market, trades cryptocurrencies, owns precious metals, and he teaches others to build wealth using his Hunt Volatility Funnel Method. He aims to help others invest with the precision and impact of a sniper while keeping emotions at bay and calculating risk-reward.

In my conversation with Francis, we go dark and dystopian, but we don’t stay there. Yes, we’re in a dark time, but Francis reminds us that opportunities abound. Not only does he share some of his investing principles and gives tips on how to get started moving in the direction of his tripwire methodology, he shares a sort of a method for managing emotions as well. Our conversation shows that Francis is a student of human nature as well as markets. He explains what’s needed to keep emotions out of investment decisions and how to snap out of it when you start feeling depressed about the direction the world is heading in.

Though these days are dark, our best days are ahead. This episode is jam-packed.
