Not every decline in share price is a reason to sell.

For us, the more important question is whether something has changed in the business or in the investment thesis.

Price matters, but price alone does not determine whether we continue owning a company.

In FAQ #2, we explain how we think about stop losses in our long-term equity investments, when we would consider reducing or exiting a position, and why our options strategies follow a separate set of risk-management rules.

How do you think about stop losses in long-term investing? Let us know in the comments.

Alright, let’s see how well you know us…

You probably know what we do at Iron Elk Capital. But do you know the people behind the investment decisions?

We’re back with another round of Two Truths and a Lie.

Three facts about one of our team members. Two are true and one is a lie.

Can you call it?

Tell us if you guessed correct in the comments, and if you discover something you have in common with us, even better. We’d love to hear from you!

Inflation rarely feels dramatic.

Its effects can be easy to overlook from one year to the next. But over decades, the cumulative impact on purchasing power can be substantial.

Your investment account could be growing while the real value of that money is quietly being eroded.

That's why we believe long-term investing isn't just about how much your money grows.

It's about what that money will be able to buy years from now.

The goal isn't simply to have more dollars. It's to put your capital to work in a way that helps preserve and grow your purchasing power over time.

Because ultimately, wealth isn't measured only by the number on an account statement. It's measured by what that money allows you to do.

Inflation is easy to overlook. Its long-term impact isn't.

Clarity isn’t always comfortable. But it’s often where confidence begins.
Sometimes financial confidence means making the decision you’ve been putting off.

Reassessing your strategy.
Questioning what no longer serves you.
Having the courage to step away from what everyone else is doing.
And getting honest about where you actually want to go.

The goal isn’t to eliminate uncertainty.

It’s to build a financial strategy clear enough that you can move forward with conviction, even when the path isn’t obvious.

Courage today. Freedom tomorrow.

Market stress is inevitable. How you navigate it matters.

In this week’s Iron Elk Capital FAQ, we’re answering one question: How did we perform during major stress events?

While the Fund launched in October 2025, our predecessor accounts give us a longer history to examine. During 2022, when the S&P 500 declined approximately 18%, those combined predecessor accounts generated a net return of approximately 13%.

That period doesn’t tell us exactly how we’ll perform in every future market decline. But it does provide a meaningful example of how the strategies have behaved when markets were under pressure.

Have a question you’d like us to address? Drop it in the comments or reach out directly. We’re always happy to start a conversation.

Disclaimer: Performance results shown represent the money-weighted returns of accounts managed by the portfolio managers of Iron Elk Capital prior to launch (the “Predecessor Accounts”). The ending value of these accounts as of December 31, 2024 was USD $1.2 million. These results were not achieved by Iron Elk Capital but rather by the portfolio managers acting in their personal capacity. The Predecessor Accounts were managed in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which the Fund will be managed. These performance results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings and are net of all transaction costs and other expenses borne by the Predecessor Accounts as well as pro forma management and incentive fees in accordance with the fees that will be charged to the Fund. Investors should be aware the Fund is expected to bear additional expenses, such as administrator fees, audit fees, legal fees, and other expenses that were not applicable to the Predecessor Accounts

Can you spot the lie?

You know us for what we do at Iron Elk Capital, but how well do you know the people behind the numbers?

Three statements. Two are true. One is completely made up.

Think you can figure out which one?

If one of these facts sparks a question, a shared interest, or even just a good conversation, reach out. We’d love to hear from you.

Patience in investing is easy to talk about. It’s much harder to practice.

A good business doesn’t become a great investment overnight. Revenue needs time to grow. Management needs time to execute. Capital needs time to compound. And sometimes, the market needs time to recognize what is happening beneath the surface.

That doesn’t mean buying something and forgetting about it.

It means continuing to study the business, testing the thesis, managing risk, and separating changes in the stock price from changes in the underlying company.

There will be volatility. There will be periods when nothing seems to be working. And there will be plenty of reasons to question whether you should keep waiting.

That’s why patience and discipline have to work together.

Find businesses worth owning. Pay a sensible price. Keep testing the thesis. Give it time to work.

What do you find harder as an investor: knowing when to act, or knowing when to wait?

Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t making the wrong move. It’s never making a move at all.

When it comes to investing and wealth, uncertainty can make staying on the sidelines feel like the safest choice.

But waiting could have a cost too.

Markets change. Opportunities pass. Goals move closer. And time continues forward whether we act or not.

The answer isn’t to eliminate risk, it’s to understand it, plan for it, and make decisions with purpose rather than fear.

Confidence doesn’t come from knowing exactly what will happen.
It comes from knowing why you’re prepared for what happens next.

Plan for tomorrow. Live with confidence today.

Behind every business is a story.

Behind every investment is a purpose.

Because what you're building today should support the life you want to live tomorrow.

What's your biggest "why"?
