This is your roadmap to becoming the best investor you can be. Ready? Let’s get started.

  1. First, you need a brokerage. I use Charles Schwab. You should consider opening TWO accounts: A Roth IRA and an Individual Account.

  2. You’ll need a High Yield Savings Account (HYSA). There are a lot of good ones. I like SOFI’s.

  3. You need a hub for researching stocks. I like a few. Seeking Alpha is great in a lot of ways (but their “analysts” suck). You might not need a premium account, but if you want to try it:

    a. Seeking Alpha

    b. Market Watch

    c. Google Finance

  4. Read a book, nerd. The first two, I read. The others, I didn’t read but have come highly recommended.

    a. Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing

    b. How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market (for swing trading)

    c. The Intelligent Investor

    d. The Richest Man in Babylon

  5. My free investing for beginners course

  6. Let AI Work FOR you. Fin-gist summarizes stock headlines.

  7. An investing calculator. I live on this website.
