It is obviously very easy to shout from the sidelines that our current education system is, to put it at its mildest, seriously flawed. Therefore I will describe in detail why I absolutely believe this to be the case.

Welcome! This is the first in a series of reports I'm writing at the end of every month about the progress I'm making with my investments and businesses. I talk about things that impacted my portfolio, newsworthy events regarding my businesses, and the lessons I learned during that month. Every report ends with an announcement of my plans for the upcoming weeks. I will be as open as possible with you.

"WITHIN 60 SECONDS YOU CAN GAIN ACCESS TO MY MOST EFFECTIVE INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES WHICH HAVE HELPED ME EARN INCREDIBLE RETURNS FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS"
Is it smart to share your "tricks of the trade"? To explain in detail what the ingredients are of your success?
Early on, I lost half my savings in one week, now I'm consistently earning returns of around 20% a year! And I'm ready to share everything I know with you... I'm no prodigy or math genius. I'm simply a guy who figured out early on in life how to become really good at something: by carefully studying how the best in the world do it!
For 7 years I have been studying how the best investors in the world are able to consistently earn mind-boggling returns on the stock market. I've read dozens of books, articles, and newsletters and have years of experience on the stock market. I practiced what was preached by the real stock market geniuses, like Warren Buffett and Joel Greenblatt, and can tell you wholeheartedly:
Their strategy works!
And the best thing is that their powerful investment strategy, called value investing, can be learned and applied by anyone, including you! It took me years to figure out and test the intricate details of their ingenious strategy, and months to make their knowledge (WHAT), techniques (HOW) and philosophy (WHY) "accessible" for everyone in one complete package. This has the potential to drastically increase your returns...
"HOW VALUE INVESTING TURNED MY LIFE UPSIDE DOWN..."
Value investing has literally turned my life upside down. Since the start of my Value Spreadsheet blog I have not only drawn tens of thousands of visitors to my website, but have also had the pleasure of giving and creating webinars, interviews, podcasts, articles, videos, and ebooks on the subject of value investing.
Every day, dozens of investors of all ranks join my investment newsletter and use the spreadsheets and other resources I've created for them to improve their returns. Besides educating other investors, my own returns have also skyrocketed thanks to this continuous learning process. It has been one hell of a ride...
WHAT I CAN DO, YOU CAN TOO:
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR INCOME, EXPERTISE, OR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE IS, EVERYONE CAN INVEST SUCCESSFULLY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY GREAT OPPORTUNITIES BRING ALONG GREAT DANGERS...
"THE #1 PITFALL FOR INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS..."
The investing world was already a jungle of possibilities in which investors couldn't see the wood for the trees. But today it has truly turned into a web of hypes, quick changes, and clutter. The investing world has really become an ecosystem of distractions.
Investors drown in the never-ending waterfall of financial news and get-rich-quick schemes, they no longer know what works and what doesn't. This is why they miss focus and generally lose money..
LET ME SHOW YOU THE WAY:
I HAVE ALREADY USED MY SAMURAI SWORD TO CUT THROUGH THE DISTRACTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES SO THAT YOU CAN SAFELY FOLLOW...
During the last few years I have dedicated myself to unraveling the secrets of the best investors in the world. During these years I have developed a solid Investment Formula which I can apply in both up- and down markets. To identify winning stocks I only have to run through my own step-by-step plan, that's all!
During the past weeks I have put blood, sweat, and tears into bundling my most effective techniques for you into the ideal value investing training that I would have loved to follow when I started out all these years ago. Below you find a short introduction video, followed by the 5 parts of this program:
"A FLYING START WITH INVESTING"
The importance of getting the basics right is often underestimated, but what would a house be without a solid foundation? Many investors fail because they start out with the wrong ideas and preconceptions. This first module makes sure you are off to a flying start!
- Why you should invest in the first place
- The right way to look at stocks (crucial!)
- Why you are the best person to invest your money
- Ways to avoid common mistakes made by investors
- Steps to define your personal investment goals
"THE REAL VALUE OF A COMPANY"
Knowing how to determine the true value of a business is key, because when you know what a company is worth you can spot over- and undervaluation and earn higher returns at a lower risk! Getting more than what you pay for is what value investing is all about...
- Distinguishing the three types of value
- Calculate the value of any business (incl. formulas)
- The psychology of investing and its consequences
- Why stocks get mispriced and how to profit from this
- A spreadsheet with 3 intrinsic value models
"Nicely consolidated information and lessons from the best investors. Easy to follow and good examples for explaining concepts. Nick also provides a lot of valuable resources. Top notch course."
Chris Bretzlauf
"THE TRUTH ABOUT RISK & RETURN"
One of the most painful and persistent misconceptions when it comes to investing is that you have to take bigger risks if you want higher returns. Value investing is in fact a "low risk, high return" strategy, and this third module teaches you all about this.
- Why investing is not like gambling
- Techniques to shift the odds in your favor
- Debunking several persistent "myths" surrounding risk
- Tricks to minimize risk while maximizing returns
- Unconventional methods to limit your downside
"CRUCIAL FINANCIAL FIGURES"
It's not possible to look into your neighbor's checkbook, but companies have to publicly disclose all the money they earn and spend in their financial statements. These statements offer you a peek into the kitchen and allow you to identify the financially strong companies value investors love so much.
- Financial statements explained in a non-boring way
- The subtle difference between income and cash
- 6 powerful financial ratios to identify winners
- Ways to spot and avoid the next Enron
- A glossary document covering the most important concepts
"Very well presented and very informative. I was a technical analysis trader wondering what value investing was all about. Now I know. I don't have to reinvent the wheel by reading tons of books on value investing. Thank you Nick!!!"
Chris Neubecker
"LOCATE THE OUTPERFORMERS"
Time for the fun stuff! There are thousands of stocks available, so knowing how to filter out the garbage is a crucial skill for any investor. The next step is a thorough fundamental analysis and then determining when to buy and when to sell. This final module covers all of these topics and more!
- Tricks to never run out of investment ideas again
- Useful tools and websites to find attractive stocks
- Secrets behind analyzing stocks like the pros
- The only 3 reasons to ever sell a stock
- A 25 point checklist to make better investment decisions
"Nick did a great job of presenting his course in small bite size videos that are easy to digest. I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend it to others who are thinking of managing their own portfolio of stocks."

Mr. Market is a fictitious character described by the father of value investing, Benjamin Graham, in his influential book The Intelligent Investor. This metaphor for the stock market will radically change the way you look at investing.
