What People are Saying
Context for Creation of the Guide:
When you first begin your journey it is 'easy' to read the Intelligent Investor, and maybe some other books and then become complacent with only investment theory and good intent as your guiding principles. New investors often shy away from the 'hard' or 'time-consuming' parts of investment like fundamental/technical analysis. It amazes me how many people reach out to me asking for insight into a security they just bought, yet are not able to read financial statements.
When i began my journey, there were no great products for me to understand financial statements. Only once i studied the CFA curriculum did i find solid content on this topic. CFA costs $000's, and i created this guide to give you the first leg up and build a solid foundation of analysis.
If you want to take your investing to the next level, I suggest you take your work ethic to the next level too, and begin understanding how to assess a company's financial health through assessing financial statements.
