About
Justin Cleveland, MD
Physician · Former U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst

NPCM is a personal investment framework built on a philosophy I call financial patriotism — allocating capital toward the infrastructure of American power based on genuine conviction in its trajectory.

This is not a trading newsletter. It is a quarterly journal of structured analysis across five macroeconomic pillars, each covering a different dimension of American strategic and economic power.

"I invest where American power is structurally irreplaceable. The framework exists to make that conviction rigorous."
