Chapter 1 Stock basics

Lesson 1 What a stock is, and how to buy one without paying too much From your first share to your first order: what a stock is, what it costs and what it has returned over history.

Chapter 2 What the Fair Value Calculator does

Overview The tool in two minutes From a company name to its fair value, quality score and watchlist, in one pass.

Lesson 2 What is a fair value? Price is what you pay, value is what you get. The one idea everything else builds on.

Lesson 3 Your first stock: search and read the verdict Look up a company and understand the header, the verdict box and the tabs.

Lesson 4 When to trust a number Data levels, withheld fair values and the small caution lines.

Lesson 5 From annual report to fair value: what the calculator does for you Thousands of numbers from an annual report turn into one clear answer: what is the stock worth, and how sure is that?

Chapter 3 How we value

Lesson 6 The Fair Value tab: 26 models, one range Bear, base and bull, the model families, and why reading the range beats reading the middle.

Lesson 7 The Quality tab: 37 factors, one score Profitability, financial strength, growth quality and more, and how to read the bars.

Lesson 8 The Growth tab: history and what the price assumes Revenue bars, value creation per share, and the comparison between price and analyst expectations.

Lesson 9 The Peers tab: the company inside its industry Percentile bars against hundreds of peers, and multiples where lower means cheaper.

Lesson 10 How we value stocks: many models, one quality score, and why spreading works Many models instead of one opinion, quality next to price, and spreading instead of luck: that is how a valuation you can trust comes together.

Chapter 4 Market and correlation

Lesson 11 Market and correlation: why ten stocks can be just two bets It is not the number of stocks that counts, but how differently they move: that is how you spot concentration risk before it catches you.

Lesson 12 Is the whole market cheap or expensive? Market valuation by sector and country, and the open data behind it.

Chapter 5 Behavior

Lesson 13 Behavior: why trading back and forth empties your pockets Often it is not the stock that costs you return, but the back and forth: rules protect you from yourself.

Lesson 14 Your watchlist: on track or review Save stocks, read the status badges, check your diversification, and let Pro alert you.

Chapter 6 What research says

Lesson 15 What research says: what works in the long run and what does not Hundreds of market patterns have been found, only a few hold up: low valuation and high quality are among them, with long dry spells.

Chapter 7 Worked examples with charts

Lesson 16 Compound interest in numbers: what 1 percent really costs Compound interest works for you, costs and big losses work just as hard against you: four worked examples with charts.

Chapter 8 More topics

Lesson 17 Your whole portfolio from a screenshot Upload a picture of your broker account and see every holding against its fair value.

Lesson 18 Strategies and filters: finding stocks One-tap strategies from Backtested Best to Greenblatt, plus region, size and industry filters.

Lesson 19 The Pro screener: every metric as a slider Build your own rule, see the distribution of every metric, and get the exact values in the table.

Lesson 20 Comparing two stocks side by side The duel: valuation, profitability, growth and balance sheet, with a point per row.

Lesson 21 Connect your AI: Claude, ChatGPT and more Let your assistant fetch the real fair value instead of guessing one.

Lesson 22 Free and Pro: what you get, what it costs The free limits, what Pro adds, the price, and how to cancel.
