Eric Fry, a market analyst with three decades of experience, has introduced a structured investment approach titled “Sell This, Buy That” through his research service, Fry’s Investment Report. The method focuses on identifying pairs of companies within the same sector, one facing structural challenges and another positioned for operational expansion in the current economic environment.
Fry developed the framework after a significant personal loss in the late 1980s, when an investment in Bonneville Pacific, a utility company later revealed to have falsified financial statements, resulted in the depletion of a $200,000 inheritance. The experience led him to emphasize risk differentiation and opportunity cost in portfolio construction. Over the subsequent 30 years, Fry has applied the pairing concept across multiple market cycles, including international comparisons in the 1990s and domestic sector rotations in the 2000s.
The approach operates on the principle that capital allocation decisions involve both selection and exclusion. For each company identified as operationally constrained, Fry designates a counterpart in the same industry with stronger fundamentals or market positioning. The pairs are intended to illustrate trade-offs rather than predict short-term price movements.
Fry’s methodology extends to historical international pairings. In 1996, he compared U.S. conglomerates with European counterparts, noting that a portfolio allocated to the European selections compounded at a significantly higher rate over the following decade. Similar long-term divergences appear in domestic energy and technology rotations from the early 2000s.
Subscribers to Fry’s Investment Report receive detailed analysis of these pairings along with four special reports.
-
“Optical-Fiber Fortune” examines the infrastructure bottleneck in AI deployment.
-
“The $24 Trillion Rise of Robotics” covers warehouse automation beyond humanoid designs.
-
“Race to AGI” addresses software and hardware implications of advanced artificial intelligence.
-
“Energy’s Swan Song” evaluates power generation scaling for data center loads equivalent to multiple metropolitan areas.
-
An additional report, “Insider Exodus,” screens for companies exhibiting elevated executive share sales.
The service issues approximately 12 new company analyses annually, accompanied by weekly portfolio updates and macroeconomic commentary.
Fry’s Investment Report is available on an annual basis. The standard subscription rate is $499, though a limited introductory rate of $79 is offered to new members, representing an 84% reduction. The package includes immediate access to the special reports and a 90-day refund window.
Fry emphasizes that the framework does not eliminate market risk but seeks to align holdings with observable trends in trade policy, labor dynamics, and technology adoption. He notes that the widening performance gap between sector leaders and laggards has accelerated since 2020, creating both heightened downside exposure and concentrated upside potential.
The “Sell This, Buy That” structure is positioned as a decision-making tool rather than a transactional directive. Fry maintains that investors must evaluate each pairing within the context of their own time horizon, liquidity needs, and tax considerations.
The launch coincides with heightened policy uncertainty surrounding tariffs, export controls, and domestic manufacturing incentives, conditions Fry describes as characteristic of an “Age of Chaos” in global capital flows.
