About This Course

This course is a collection of everything I have learned about analyzing stocks & businesses from reading, watching, and listening to everything investing related, as well as from my own experience with investing, and from that of others.

 

This is the same information and process I use for analyzing my own investments (such as seen on Substack or YouTube). The best example of applying this work may be my analysis on a new company Cardlytics acquired, Bridg, as well as analyzing POS venders like Toast, Square, NCR, and PAR (Substack Write-Up, YouTube Video, Apple Podcast, Spotify Podcast).

 

This is also the same information and process I use when others use my investment consulting services to analyze new investments, review existing analysis, or analyze specific company situations and developments.

 

Where possible, I provide links to resources, as well as use actual companies as examples (such as Cardlytics and Carvana).

​

How is the Price of the Course Determined?

To put the cost of this course in perspective:

• One college course can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $7,500+

• One new idea could be the difference in earnings significant amounts of money

• One new insight could be the difference in finding better investments, leading to earnings significant amounts of money, especially when it is repeated over many years

• One new lessons or insight could save you from making a single mistake that saves you substantial sums of money, especially if it saves you from making that same mistake continually over many years

• Small increases in investing returns compounded over long periods of time leads to significant differences in wealth, and therefore there is a high value on learning about investing.

• Better performance is not guaranteed. Avoiding losses or negative returns is not guaranteed. This is for educational purposes only.

 

This collection of information took years to collect, think through, and refine. The information is valuable to me, and not information I would like to give away for free. Therefore, I need to charge a sufficient amount to make it worth selling. Additionally, I will likely increase the price over time, and someday no longer to sell to keep the information more private to myself.
