Dear subscriber,
As the final trading day of the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to step back from the charts, the headlines, and the constant market noise and simply say thank you for being part of my newest venture – NXT Wave Research.
This past year was another reminder of why long-term investing works.
We dealt with interest-rate changes, political uncertainty, global conflicts, unprecedented tariffs, and no shortage of dramatic headlines, yet the market once again showed its resilience.
Businesses continued to grow, innovation kept moving forward, and investors who stayed patient and disciplined were rewarded.
That doesn’t mean it was easy, but it does reinforce an important truth:
Wealth in the stock market is built by those who stay focused when others get distracted.
I’m grateful that you chose to be here and to invest alongside us. Whether you joined recently or have been with me for many years, it means a great deal that you trust our research and our process.
At its core, what we do is about much more than trying to pick winning stocks. It’s about helping you feel confident about your financial future and giving you the tools and perspective to make smart, informed decisions.
The Three Pillars That Drive Everything We Do
There have always been three pillars to my businesses:
Educate our subscribers
Have some fun in the process
Make money
That philosophy remains the foundation of NXT Wave Research, and it’s exactly what we will continue delivering in 2026.
Looking ahead to the new year, I’m genuinely excited about what’s coming.
The pace of technological change is accelerating rapidly. We’re seeing massive opportunity driven by:
Artificial Intelligence
Energy transformation
Digital infrastructure
Healthcare innovation
These trends are creating opportunities that simply didn’t exist a decade ago — let alone just a few years ago.
At the same time, the global economy is adjusting in ways that are opening the door for new leaders to emerge. For long-term investors, this combination creates an environment filled with potential.
My Top 12 Bold Predictions for 2026

A Final Thought as We Turn the Page
Of course, markets will still have their ups and downs, and there will be moments of uncertainty.
That’s part of investing.
What matters is staying grounded, staying diversified, and keeping a long-term view. We will continue to do what we always do: look for high-quality opportunities, manage risk carefully, and stay focused on building lasting wealth.
As we turn the page on this year, I also hope you take time to focus on what really matters. Financial success is important, but it’s only truly meaningful when it supports a healthy, fulfilling life.
My wish for you in the year ahead is good health, peace of mind, and the confidence that comes from knowing you’re on the right path.
Thank you again for being here. I look forward to navigating the markets together in the year ahead and continuing this journey with you.
Happy New Year,
Matt McCall
