Inside the desk

The LongVol Report is a working research desk — the screens, the notes, the flows and the alerts — and any investor is welcome to pull up a chair and see what the desk sees.

A page of the weekly report headed The LongVol Report Stock Monitor: a table of companies with market cap, article count, catalysts and price-action commentary, one row flagged red as having hit its target.

The LongVol Research List

The stocks that made it through — and the reason each one is there.

We actively monitor thousands of companies. The few that survive the research process become the LongVol Research List: market cap, the catalysts that actually matter, the price action, and a plain read on what has to happen next.

It is a living list, not a static set of picks. Companies enter and leave as the opportunity changes, and we track each thesis for earnings, guidance, upgrades and downgrades, catalysts and risks. When a name has run, it gets marked red. Taking gains is a call too.

A page of the report headed The LongVol Report Stock Research Monitors, showing a Turnaround Radar entry for FIS at Stage 4 Inflection and a Fundamental Momentum Radar listing RTX, SWK and COHR, each with signal, catalyst and a research verdict.

Stock Research Monitors

Four monitors running across the whole market, all week.

Before anything reaches the Research List it has to be found. Four monitors scan continuously for the kinds of change that move earnings power or valuation:

  • Turnaround Monitor — businesses approaching fundamental inflection.
  • Fundamental Momentum Monitor — improving fundamentals confirmed by price and earnings momentum.
  • Corporate Catalyst Monitor — restructurings, management changes, strategic reviews, asset sales, spin-offs, activists and other thesis-changing events.
  • Share Repurchase Monitor — material buyback announcements and execution.

What the monitors surface is a candidate, not a recommendation. Appearing here does not make a stock an official Research List idea — but it is where they start.

Market Commentary and Dan's Cliff Notes: this week's key calls, with tickers colour-coded and a short line of reasoning against each.

Weekly Cliff Notes

The whole week, in ten minutes.

Our team curates the current equity coverage. Then Dan goes through it and writes down what he is actually watching — the market commentary, the week's key calls, and the names on his own screen.

Read it over coffee on a Sunday and you are current. Or use it as the door into the full report on the one line that stops you.

Two daily charts shared in the room — an SP500 swing-structure read with key levels and sell zone, and a crude oil Fibonacci projection with target and breakout levels marked.

Market Flows Chat

Watch the flows as they land.

Market Flows is a read-only room inside the Discord. The daily flows go up as they happen — index levels, the setups in play, and colour on what is moving underneath them.

Read-only on purpose. No thread to keep up with and no crowd to wade through. Open it when you want the read, close it once you have it.

On the record

“Losing her is like the Warriors losing Steph Curry.”

Daniel X. Bustamante in Business Insider — on Lululemon losing its chief product officer

The call ran opposite Michael Burry’s bullish bet. Lululemon fell nearly 50% that year on slowing growth, competition and tariffs. That is the whole job: a clear, early, falsifiable view — in public, with a name attached to it.

Business Insider

“The hedge-fund CIO who won big in his short bet against Carvana last year is now betting millions that the housing market will slow significantly” — calling for 15–20% declines in home prices ahead.

Opening Bell Daily

“A top investment chief is betting this iconic industrial stock can jump 48% by 2026” — Bustamante’s single best idea for the year, written up by Phil Rosen.

Bloomberg Television

On D.R. Horton’s rent-to-own pivot: “They have been focusing more on single-family rental development versus actual homes for sale, while investing over $1 billion in that arm the last three years.”

One reader found the letter the same way: “I found the report in 2022 when I was long Carvana and saw a video about it being a short. Sure enough, he was right.”

How the research desk works

Four steps from the whole market
to what actually matters.

01

We find stocks worth researching

Our research process searches for turnarounds, improving fundamentals, major corporate changes, large buybacks, restructurings, asset sales, management changes and other catalysts that can materially change a company’s earnings power or valuation.

02

We do the fundamental research

Screens only find candidates. We analyse the business, earnings, valuation, catalysts, risks and what the market may be missing before an idea earns deeper LongVol coverage.

03

We maintain & monitor a living research list

LongVol isn’t a static list of stock picks. Companies enter and leave as opportunities change, and we continuously track the thesis for material developments, upgrades/downgrades, earnings, guidance, catalysts and risks.

04

We tell you what actually matters

Instead of dumping more information on you, every report distils the research into what changed, why it matters, what deserves your attention and what we’re watching next — with the key takeaways designed to be understood in about five minutes.

The seat this is written from

Not a normal Wall Street path.
That is rather the point.

It started at nine, selling fruit out of a backyard and reinvesting it into buying and selling golf clubs on eBay. In college it was class during the morning and working at Charles Schwab in the afternoon and evenings. Then the twenties on Wall Street: a futures desk, then equity research, then portfolio manager at a long/short hedge fund.

Four things survived all of it. They are the spine of every letter.

  1. Have a process.

    Short-term trader or long-term investor, it does not matter. Markets are made of uncertainty; a repeatable process keeps you spending your attention on the part you control.

  2. Have a plan for every position.

    Underwrite it and know where you are getting out before you are in. That is what makes the risk/reward — and therefore the size — an answer rather than a guess.

  3. Know what you own, and why.

    A turnaround and a short-term event trade are not the same instrument. Defining which one you hold sets both the size and the expectation.

  4. Learn bet sizing.

    There is a time to push the whole stack in, and it is rare. A portfolio of ideas beats a bet on one, because there is always something you could not have accounted for.

Yours in profits,
Daniel X. Bustamante

Nine people, unprompted,
on what they actually use.

I am a student of the FOPT lectures and subscribe to the report and both are incredible. The FOPT is so well done and in depth that it talked about concepts I never even thought to consider. I spent time as an analyst in my twenties at a hedge fund and we never used the ideas discussed in there — so this was an eye opener for me.
ChristianUnited Kingdom
I found the report in 2022 when I was long Carvana and saw a video about it being a short. At first I was not sure, but sure enough he was right, and from there I was sold. It’s so well done that sometimes I wish they didn’t sell it — but I get it.
DarrenDenver, CO
I’ve been a stock and commodity investor since the late 80s, when I used to get my charts mailed on the weekends — so that tells you how long I’ve been at this. This is one of the top 3 reports I have ever subscribed to over those years.
FrankParadise Valley, AZ
My background was in economics and some investing, really in Forex and stocks. I have read this report for about a year now and it is very thorough and filled with ideas to use. The best part for me is the weekly commentary — that’s where I get a feel for what to look at myself.
RobertSwitzerland
The LongVol Report is incredible. He is so straight-forward and the analysis is rarely wrong. My favorite part is the highlighted ideas, because it gives me confidence to pay attention to those over my own analysis, which I’m still working on.
WouterDubai, UAE
I took Dan’s classes when he was with another company during Covid and he was one of the best teachers I have ever met — and I spent a lot of time and money at Online Trading Academy, so believe me. Three years in, it only gets better.
BryanMiami
Been a long time reader and it has helped me make a good deal of money over the years. What I like most is the highlighted ideas each week — when I’m in a rush I can just read those, set some alerts, then manage it when I’m on the road.
BradSan Diego, CA
I’ve been with you a long time and came back after these years because your takes were always unique. I have made more money with the report and the FOPT Lectures than anything I’ve done previously.
Ron S.Wisconsin
Just wanna say, the FOPT you put together is REALLY good. So much in there that I want to learn, and it’s right there. Looking back at the old stuff and the stuff now — WOW. It’s obvious how much you have grown.
