The version I wish I'd had starting out.

Selling youNothing

By day, I work in real estate investment, underwriting and analyzing large deals, building the financial models, and valuing the assets. I've also been trading stocks and investing my own money for 10+ years. This is me bringing that same deal-desk discipline to the public markets, in plain English.

Most investing content is either dumbed down to the point of useless or written to sell you something. This is the version I wish I'd had starting out, how to think about stocks, build a portfolio, and avoid the mistakes that wipe people out.

It's written like a friend explaining it, not a guru pitching a course. It's all free, nothing to buy. Take what's useful and ignore the parts you disagree with.
