Stocks · The long game

Build wealth.
Don't trade noise.

Stocks are where most retail traders should actually be. Forex and crypto get the headlines — stocks build the wealth. We teach both the long game (ETF + index investing) and the short game (swing setups around earnings).

The basics.
Properly.

01

What's a stock?

A share of ownership in a company. Profit when the business grows, get paid dividends when it makes money. Lose when it doesn't.

02

ETFs vs stocks

ETF = basket of stocks. SPY = S&P 500 in one ticker. Diversification without buying 500 things. Lower risk, lower upside.

03

Dividends

Companies share profit with shareholders. Quarterly cash payments. Yield = annual dividend / share price. 2-4% is healthy. 8%+ is suspicious.

04

Earnings

Quarterly report. The single biggest news event for a stock. Beat = pop. Miss = drop. Guidance > the numbers themselves.

Sectors

The S&P 500 — by sector.

The market is 11 sectors, not 1 index. Tech moves on rate-cuts. Energy moves on oil. Healthcare moves on FDA. Know which sector you're in.

Sample portfolio

Build it.
Boring works.

A defensible long-term portfolio doesn't need to be exciting. ETFs as the core (75%), individual stocks for satellite positions (25%). Rebalance quarterly.
