Why this Course?
Ever wonder how the world’s most successful investors are so successful? It’s because they understand the language of business, which is accounting, and can analyse financial statements well to root out opportunities.
Now, a lot of financial statement analysis courses simply teach you how to perform a few financial ratios. That’s important, but it is only a small part of successful financial statement analysis. True financial statement analysis requires in-depth reading, research, and other analytical strategies that will give you a real investing edge.
In my Financial Statement Analysis and Valuations Course – which contains 15 detailed lessons and 13 hours of on-demand video lectures – I will teach you how to find, read, and interpret financial statements like an experienced investor, and also how to value stocks that most investors struggle with. These skills will make you a better investor by helping you identify sound businesses and avoid the bad ones.
Overall, I have sifted through a mountain of amazing books, documents, lectures, plus my own 19+ years of experience in investing to bring to the table the most important lessons on financial statement analysis and valuations.
This is your opportunity to become a smarter and successful long-term investor, and avoid the uncertainty and outlandish time and pain that you would otherwise spend doing it all alone.

Charlie Munger says, “All I want to know is where I’m going to die so I’ll never go there.”
Learning how to read, understand, and analyze financial statements will help you with that – identifying the businesses that can cause you permanent loss of capital so that you can avoid investing in them.
Of course, when you know how to read between the numbers, you will also be able to identify the great and good businesses that can help you build wealth over the long run.
