Dear Academy members, as we prepare for this weeks lessons, I would like to briefly talk about the recent AI hype in the stock market.
Bottom line: it is my opinion that despite the validity of AI technology and it’s massive upside, we are in a market bubble. There are legitimate generational AI players in the market right now, but most of the hyped stocks have nothing more to offer than some hot air.
Over the past few months, every single company that has mentioned the word AI...

Look, let's be honest, investing EXACTLY like the richest people in the world is not going to work everyday people. It's a completely different game when you are playing with 7 figures vs. a $50,000 portfolio.
Having said that, there is MASSIVE value in looking at how these folks manage their portfolios so we can understand their approach, process and strategy and apply it to our own investing style.
So check this out. Vanguard actually examined 800,000 accounts with b...

Dear Patreons, many of you have requested me to talk about retirement plans, focusing on the differences between 401(k), IRA, Roth IRA, Roth 401(k), and SEP IRA. I totally get it. It can get confusing, so in this overview article, I am going to simplify it and explain how each account type works, their key features, the pros and cons of each, and all that good stuff.
So let's start with the classic 401(k) and IRA:
Both offer tax-deferred benefits. Contributions to...

In recent years, it has been relatively easy to make money in the stock market. With the easy money era being over, becoming proficient in reading balance sheets is now more important than ever.
The era of easy money is finished. If you don't adapt and learn these skills, you will get destroyed in this stock market. The stonks go up methodology is not going to work in 2023, so its time for different approach to investment.
Warren Buffet always said that investing in companie...

Dear Patreons, today, we're going to talk about the concept of compound interest and how it can help you turn $10,000 into $100,000 using a legitimate investing strategy, mixed with patience and discipline.
First and foremost, I want to clarify that I will not be talking about options, day trading, crypto and penny stocks, this is gambling and I have no desire to engage in that, and hopefully if you are here you feel the same.
Sure, high risk equals high reward, but it comes with ...

Dear Academy members, in one of my previous posts I spoke about the three-fund portfolio strategy. An investment methodology that provides diversification and balance within a portfolio, with little time and effort.
The idea is simply to allocate your portfolio (in part or in whole) across three asset classes: U.S. stocks ETF, international stocks ETF (excluding U.S.) and U.S. bonds.
In my previous article I made the argument that this strategy provides investors with proven resul...

Investing can be extremely time consuming but for those who don't have the time, it can be made easy and efficient with the simple three fund portfolio.
Even though its extremely simple, this method actually outperforms most retail and professional money managers, EVERY year, all while saving time, energy, money and mental energy for investors.
This investment approach is based on three key funds:
1) a total U.S. stock market index fund
2) a total international s...

Your assignment is simple: run a DCF model on TESLA using the model and the WACC calculator I gave you earlier.
I want each of you to post their D...

Every once and a while I like to spotlight some of our community members who are doing it the right way. Dollar cost into stocks you love long term. In this case Tesla.
Our Patreon member, Slidelock, just had a 75% month doing that and I wanted to give him the stage. He deserves it and good job 👏
Let’s all show him some love in the comments;)

This an article for investors at the entry to intermediate levels about how to build a solid stock investing portfolio. The idea is to give you principles and concepts so you can learn how to do the work, not have me tell you which stocks to buy and sell, which is not the right way to educate.
Look, building a solid stock portfolio is going to be filled with failure, that is normal and should prepare to fall on your face a few times before you get it right. Having said that, here ...

If you are in the market for an AI growth stock you can’t be buying NVDA and the rest of the stocks that ran up like crazy, you have to look for the ones that haven’t gotten overhyped and are still reasonably priced, and have plenty of real potential and not just bs claims.
Crowd strike is an interesting candidate. It’s cybersecurity product, the Falcon platform, offers an AI-driven, clou...

QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) is one of those sleeper dividend stocks that are getting no love right now with the latest AI hype cycle. It is basically a chipmaker for the mobile phone industry. In its core it’s a semiconductor play with a twist.
The dividend yield is just around 3% which is not the highest but also quite stable over the years.

Snowflake is a cloud based data storage and management platform. Commonly confused with a SaaS business (software as a service) this is a pay per use data storage and management product. Clients buy credits and use these credits on the platform. The more you use the more...

I’m starting a new position this morning.
The stock ticker is $EPD Enterprise Products Partners LP
It’s a $55 billion market cap stock with lots of volume and activity.
Current share price $25
8% dividend yield
10% net margin
10 PE ratio
30% revenue growth
In my opinion, EPD is materially undervalued
Investors are rushing into growth stocks again and dumping good solid dividend plays and this is the time to pick it up when every...
