⭐️ I Just Wrote The First Book In My Life
A Year in, a Dream Realized — and an Invitation
Friends and Fellow Investors,
Twelve months ago, I opened the doors to The Stock Insider.
What started as a weekly report on fast-growing U.S. equities has evolved into a community of almost 500,000 retail investors who study markets with clear eyes and disciplined courage.
Throughout my career, I kept several notebooks to myself — a running system of rules, checklists, equations, and cautionary tales — which I recently showed to a friend.
She knew someone in the book business. A big-time independent publisher.
Their first question was simple: “Why isn’t this a book already?”
Today it is.
Stock Market: The Foundations — pre‑release for The Stock Insider members
Format & design: Almost 300 pages, professionally laid‑out; PDF, EPUB, Kindle & plain‑text — no DRM, no hoops. Share it with your friends and family if you want to 😇
Who gets it: All current paid readers, lifetime subscribers, and every founding member who locked in early. If you’re grandfathered-in — nothing extra to do, just go here.
Help me polish, if you wish: See a typo or a stray comma? Drop a note in the comments or DM; your feedback makes the print edition sharper.
What you’ll learn
A plain‑English walk‑through of modern speculation — from algos and noise cycles to the behavioural traps most miss.
A starter kit for building an evidence‑based portfolio from a standing start.
Repeatable tactics for timing entries and exits without losing sleep.
A risk‑management framework that respects both math and mercy.
Twenty‑four concise chapters you can finish in a weekend or keep beside the monitor all year.

Why a book when we already have the newsletter?
Long‑form writing forces clarity.
In a post, I can gesture; in a book, I must prove.
Putting every claim next to its math, footnote, or real‑market lesson sharpened the indicator many of you already lean on each Sunday morning in my weekly reports.
