Hey, my name is Mohammad Zulfiqar, but most people know me as Moe Zulfiqar.
I’ve spent over a decade analyzing financial markets and helping investors make sense of what’s really going on beneath the headlines and hype. And, in easy to understand language.
I’m proud to say I’ve spotted some of the biggest market moves in recent years. A few highlights (just off the top of my head):
👉 In early 2020, I warned about the looming market crash… and then, near the end of March 2020—when panic was at its peak—I called it “an opportunity of a lifetime.”
👉 Back in 2015, when gold was trading around $1,000 an ounce and most people had written it off as a useless asset, I called gold “a buying opportunity of a lifetime.” Fast forward to today, and gold has surged past $3,000 an ounce. In fact, I think I was one of the handful of people who were bullish on gold… even some serious “gold bugs,” were shying away.
👉 In 2017–2018, I called Bitcoin a mania when many said, “How can you say that?” A few months later, the price proved me right. My current view? Bitcoin is here to stay, but its price is still very much in a discovery phase. There are going to be wild swings.
👉 In 2021, when everyone thought Canadian housing would never cool down, I said it was turning into a bubble and a moral hazard.
Over the years, I’ve written and profiled hundreds of stocks—ranging from small-cap tech plays, precious metals miners, and oil companies, to banks, and others. The list is too big to mention here.
Obviously, I have been wrong on many of my calls as well, and I think that’s the part of the game.
My research focuses heavily on the U.S. and Canadian economies, precious metals (like gold and silver), commodities in general, and macro trends that most people ignore… until it’s too late. I don’t regurgitate Wall Street narratives. I deliver independent, data-driven, and often contrarian views on where the markets and economy could head next.
To keep readers plugged into what matters right now, I also publish “5 Things I’m Watching Today” every single day the markets are open on Instagram—a quick, straight-to-the-point rundown of the key stories, trends, and risks I’m tracking that day.
Over the years, my work has been featured on MarketWatch, TheStreet, Yahoo! Small Business, Lombardi Letter, Profit Confidential, Kitco News, Sina.com, GoldSilver.com, Mining.com, Benzinga, Gold-Eagle, ETF Daily News, Advisor Perspectives, and Income Investors, among others.
I launched ZulfiqarResearch.com as a way to share my research, market outlooks, and no-fluff commentary directly with readers—without filters, corporate agendas, or clickbait. There’s so much of it out there.
I write the way I talk:
✅ Simple language
✅ Straight to the point
✅ With a bit of sarcasm and humor (because let’s face it… financial markets can get absurd sometimes)
When I’m not buried in economic data or market charts, I’m likely training for my next race—I’m on track to run my 12th half marathon in 2025.
Sports have always been a big part of my life. I played football in high school and was also part of wrestling, rugby, and cricket teams. But, these days I am more into running.
When I need a break from screens and spreadsheets, you’ll find me dabbling in gardening, trying to grow veggies and flowers—reminding myself that not everything in life moves as fast as stock prices.
If you’re looking for sugar-coated forecasts, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want honest, no-nonsense insights on the economy, commodities, and financial markets—you’re in the right spot.
What I Focus On:
- U.S. & Canadian Economy
- Macroeconomic Trends
- Market Risk & Investor Behavior
- Spotting Big Market Moves Early
- Commodities
I am hoping you like what you see here.
