Plain-English investing education

Your money,
explained.

Nobody should have to learn Wall Street's vocabulary before they can follow their own money. We take the numbers, and the companies behind them, and say what they mean in the language you already use.

What they call it, and what it means

P/E Ratio

Price vs. Earnings

How many years of current profits you are paying for, at today's price.

EPS

Earnings Per Share

Profit earned per share of stock

Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Debt vs. Equity

How much debt the company has relative to what shareholders own. A ratio of 1 means debt equals shareholder equity.

Every company page prints the plain sentence under the figure, and names the Wall Street word wherever it is a different word.

The membership

Four parts, none of which ever finish

A course can be finished. Your own money cannot, and neither can the market, so every part of this is built to keep going rather than to be completed.

The tutor

Ask what a term means, what a company does, or what you just heard about the market, and get it back in plain English. It explains and it never recommends: no picks, no ratings, no targets. Credits renew every month, because questions do not stop.

The living translation

Every figure on a company page carries a sentence saying what it means, written for somebody who has never read a filing, with the Wall Street name under it wherever that is a different word. The market writes new material every week, so every Sunday a note goes out on what moved, each line a click from the page that explains the company behind it.

Your own reasoning, written down

Save a company and write down why you own what you own, in your own words. It comes back to you every time you open the list, which is how you find out whether the reason you gave yourself last year still holds.

Lessons that assume nothing

Short written lessons and a glossary for somebody who has never opened a brokerage account, so a term you meet on a company page always has somewhere to send you.

The lessons and the glossary are public, and the weekly note goes to anyone on the list. A membership opens the rest, and the equipment beside it: every company page in full, the tutor, the watchlist you keep your reasoning in, and the screener and earnings calendar to practice on.
