The decision-grade playbook distilled from leading 600+ top advisors and nearly $4 trillion in client assets — translated into a 2026 stock strategy you can execute, with a dedicated advisor in your corner.
No. 026
"Markets are not a casino — they are a battlefield. The difference between a $4 trillion book and a blown-up retail account is discipline applied with precision."
— framework principle №1You will not receive generic advice. You will be paired with a dedicated advisor working inside the Eric Schimpf framework — engaged with you, every trading day, through 2026.
Every market day at a fixed time: a real-time read on the tape, then a name-by-name examination of every position you hold — buy, hold, trim, exit, with target and stop. No filler, no hedging language.
Three to five high-conviction tickers each week. Each pick arrives with the thesis, the entry zone, the invalidation level, and the exit plan. You do not guess — you execute.
Most-usedPer-position stops. Strict position-size discipline. Capital preservation rules that come before any return objective. The market does not surprise a disciplined book.
Delivered before 7:30 a.m. ET. Macro setup, sector posture, levels that matter today, and a clean operating note for the session ahead. You arrive prepared.
Triple-channel notification — WhatsApp, SMS, in-app — the moment the framework calls for a move. When the tape changes character, you are not the last to know.
From selection to entry, sizing, dynamic rebalancing, and risk control — your advisor implements the Eric Schimpf framework alongside you, position by position, week by week.
Before Wall Street, Eric Schimpf served as a U.S. Army Infantry Officer, Air-Assault qualified. That same operational discipline now governs how he leads Merrill Wealth Management alongside Co-Head Lindsay Hans — directing 600+ top advisors and stewarding nearly four trillion dollars in client capital.
