About Us

Traditional financial news and education have always been run by Wall Street suits.

At Briefs Finance, we ditched the suits but kept the Briefs.

We're a Detroit-based financial technology company powered by media on a simple mission: help regular people get better with their money. Not the folks who already have a guy on Wall Street. You.

Why we exist

Here's the uncomfortable truth most finance companies won't say: investing is hard, and most people lose money trying.

It's not because they aren't smart. It's because the whole system was built to feel confusing, intimidating, and expensive.

Wall Street firms charge $5,000 to $10,000+ to manage your money. It can be hard to keep up with financial news and stay informed. 

We think there's a better way, and it starts with one idea:

When the economy shifts, money shifts.

Smart investors don't chase yesterday's winners. They figure out where money is moving next, and they get there before the crowd.

That takes research, not headlines. Research is exactly what we do.

Meet the founder

Briefs Finance was started by Jaspreet Singh.

Jaspreet graduated from law school and then never worked a single day as an attorney.

Instead, he went all-in studying the most successful investors in the world, trying to reverse-engineer how they actually build wealth. He'll be the first to tell you his real edge was being willing to work hard, screw up a lot, and never give up.

What he learned became the foundation of everything we do. The goal hasn't changed since: democratize investing education and make it accessible for regular people - not just the people who can afford a private wealth manager.

What we believe

Our philosophy is simple, and a little contrarian.

The person digging the gold out of the ground knows more about the industry than someone sitting on Wall Street.

In plain English: real research beats recycled news. Here's what that looks like for us:

  • Invest where money is moving, not where it already went
  • Use research to stay ahead of the crowd, instead of reacting to it
  • Keep everything in plain English, so you never feel talked down to or talked over
  • Be honest about the risks, every single time

What we make

Everything we build is designed to take you from "I have no idea where to start" to "I know exactly why I own what I own."

Market Briefs is our free daily newsletter, built for everyday investors.

Our motto is read less news, not more. We summarize the financial news that matters in 5 minutes or less, Sunday through Friday - and it's free for everyone, always.

Briefs Pro is our premium research membership for investors who want to stay ahead of market shifts.

Every week, our Briefs Research team spends 50+ hours digging through financial statements, pressure-testing opportunities, and tracking where the smart money is moving. Then we hand you the essence of it in a 10-minute report.

Inside Pro, you get:

  • Monthly deep-dive reports that discuss opportunities for growth investors, income investors, and investors who want to preserve their wealth.
  • Specific stock and cash-flow research backed by real analysis
  • Custom charts and graphs, so you can feel what's happening in the markets, not just read about it
  • A private community of thousands of fellow investors

Briefs Academy is our financial education platform.

It's a one-stop shop of Journeys (what we call our classes) covering building wealth, real estate investing, stock market investing, and more. Think of it as the course you wish someone handed you before you bought your first stock.

We're also building new tools to make research even easier, including the Briefs Terminal, Briefs Score, and the Briefs Connector. A few are still in beta, and we're just getting started.

A quick note on what we're not

We're a financial technology company powered by media, not a money management firm.

You can't invest in the Briefs Portfolio, and nothing we publish is personalized financial advice. Investing carries risk, and you should always talk to a licensed advisor about your specific situation.

We give you the research and the education, but the decisions are yours.

Come read along

Our team of money nerds shows up every day to bring you the best financial news and research the only way we know how: from the comfort of our Briefs.

We built the company we wish existed when we were starting out. Now we want to share it with you.

So go ahead - put on your Briefs and read along with us.

Start with the free daily newsletter or see what's inside Briefs Pro.

Briefs Media owns Market Briefs, Briefs Academy and Briefs Pro. Image contains two phones with Market Briefs.

Kevin Warsh Just Defied Trump: What the Fed Rate Hike Means for Your Money
  • The Fed raised rates for the first time since 2023 in a unanimous vote led by Kevin Warsh, the chairman President Trump appointed to cut them.
  • Higher rates make the $40 trillion national debt, business loan resets and mortgages more expensive, but they strengthen the dollar and pay investors holding cash.
  • The war with Iran is pushing up oil, grocery and chip prices, another hike is likely in 2026, and recession talk is about to get louder.

Why America Bailed Out the Yen: The Japan Carry Trade, the Dollar and Your Mortgage Rate
  • In July 2026 the US sent money to steady the yen because Japan is the largest foreign owner of US debt, and Washington needs Japan to keep lending.
  • For decades the Japan carry trade let Wall Street borrow yen at essentially 0% and pour it into US stocks, real estate and Treasuries, and rising Japanese rates are shutting that off.
  • A weaker yen means fewer buyers for the dollar and for US debt, which pushes Treasury rates up and drags mortgage, car loan and credit card rates up with them.

Treasury Yields Are Spiking Because Lenders Are Backing Away From U.S. Debt
  • The U.S. is paying its highest 30-year borrowing rate in about two decades because its biggest lenders, the Fed, foreign governments, and banks, are all pulling back from Treasuries.
  • Every mortgage, car loan, credit card, and business loan is priced off the 10-year Treasury yield, so when Washington pays more to borrow, so do you.
  • With about $40 trillion of debt against a $32 trillion economy, the country either outgrows its debt or slides into a doom loop, and investors need a plan for both.

Fiat Currency Runs on Trust, and the World Just Stopped Trusting the Dollar
  • Gold has overtaken US treasuries as the world's top reserve asset, and central banks are now buying less US debt and more gold.
  • The US dollar is a fiat currency, meaning it's backed by a promise rather than gold, so it loses value when fewer countries want to hold it.
  • Whether the US economy or its national debt grows faster from here decides which assets stand to benefit next.

When Will RAM Prices Go Down? Inside the Memory Shortage
  • There is no certain date. RAM prices depend on supply and demand, and new memory factories take years to build.
  • This article covers the forces behind the shortage, including demand from AI data centers and earlier production cuts by memory makers.
  • Phones, laptops and other devices that use memory can cost more while a shortage lasts.

How Is the Economy Doing? Washington Says It's Fixed, but the Numbers Don't Agree
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the economy is fixed because lower earners' incomes are now rising faster than top earners'.
  • The Atlanta Fed and Bank of America show different numbers, and Hilton, Marriott, and McDonald's can't agree on what they're seeing either.
  • Whichever side is right, the economy is built to make investors rich, and inflation is how it does it.

US National Debt Hits $40 Trillion: Why the Economy Hasn't Collapsed Yet
  • The US national debt crossed $40 trillion in 2026 and is growing faster than the economy. The debt to GDP ratio now sits at 125%, the highest outside the pandemic and higher than World War II.
  • On September 9, 2026, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rolled out an emergency plan for the government to lend money to itself. Ray Dalio now says the dollar has roughly three years before real pain.
  • Empires rarely default. They debase. Since 1971, median household income grew about 8x while houses grew 17x and the S&P 500 grew 360x, so investors got richer while workers fell behind.

Your 401k Is Fueling the AI Bubble
  • About $10 trillion of 401k money sits in a $77 trillion stock market, mostly through target date funds and S&P 500 funds. Roughly 30% of every S&P 500 dollar lands in five AI-heavy tech stocks.
  • Four bubble signals run hotter today than before the 2000 crash: top-ten concentration, tech's share of the index, the Buffett Indicator, and how much of the market index funds own.
  • You only lock in an AI bubble loss if you sell. The 2022, 2020, 2008, and 2000 crashes were all buying windows for long-term investors, and the US-China AI race means government money could keep flowing in.

What Is Wealth Preservation? How To Protect Your Money From Anything
  • Wealth preservation is an investing strategy built around keeping the money you've already made instead of chasing growth.
  • It leans on assets that hold steady when markets fall - gold, Treasury bonds, and companies that keep earning through wars, crashes, and pandemics.
  • The tradeoff is real: you give up some upside, and the two key numbers to check are maximum drawdown and correlation to the market.

Why Is Everything So Expensive? Why Prices May Never Come Back Down
  • Everything feels expensive because years of price rises stack on top of each other. A lower inflation rate means prices are rising more slowly, not falling.
  • How far your paycheck goes depends on both prices and your pay.
  • The Federal Reserve aims for 2 percent inflation over the longer run, so some steady rise in prices is part of its plan.
