Why Build This?

I am a self-taught private investor who invests in a handful of companies. Technically I am considered to be a retail investor, though, I spend a considerable amount of time and energy on any given company. This time includes a lot of time studying the annual and quarterly reports of any given company as well as crunching the company financials to a very nuanced degree.

Over the years I have built various Excel models to guesstimate a reasonable worth of a company’s stock. Due to my background in IT, I have built simple web apps out of these models.

Over the years I have also noticed that most investment tools are a. too complex and b. too expensive for a typical retail investor. Investing does not need to be complex and a tool does not necessarily need to be expensive either.

I am convinced that an investment tool can be simple and cheap and at the same time answer the most important questions a retail investor may have about a company in question.

The result is the tool you are looking at.

Now, over the past 5 years I have had a fair share of conversation with many friends, colleagues and strangers, around investing in stocks and crypto. In many cases these friends, colleagues and strangers are or were actively investing (or so they think) in ETFs and to a large degree also in single stocks.

However, few people actually “invest”. In fact, most only speculate. And they are in practically all cases not aware that they do. Why? Few bother to review a company in detail or look at the company’s financials statements before buying shares.

I am convinced that it does not need to be that way. To understand whether you are looking at a decent company or a company with shaky fundamentals isn’t that complicated.

That’s Where GreatStocksCheap.com Comes in
