We take the principles from the greats such as Warren Buffett, and have put them into easy to understand programs so you can learn applicable skills for your own decisions around investing. 

Our Founder, David Leiter, has been investing since 1995, and originally worked on Wall Street at Credit Suisse First Boston in the late 1990's.   It was there that he witnessed first hand his first bubble, the dot-com frenzy.  This was one of several frenzies in markets that David witnessed going forward, and it was fascinating how people would emotionally make the same mistakes during these bubbles.

It's also at this time he bought his first properties in NYC.  

 After almost 30 years in real estate and finance in New York City, one of the world's toughest markets, David retired just to manage his own investments and enjoy life. 

By early 2021, another frenzy had been brewing in stocks and Bitcoin, and David again been witnessing his friends and acquaintances getting caught up in the emotions. 

By mid 2022, after hearing yet another story of someone losing their money following an amateur, naive investment promoter into a wild crypto scheme, David's years of witnessing this came to a head, and in the heat of disgust, wrote an essay called the 20 Rules to Know to Stop Making Dumb Investments.  

 This essay was published to a group of peers and acquaintances in a Facebook group, and the response was overwhelming. 

 At that time, David realized that people really were starved for sound principles in investing, and that the majority of what was popularly taught was not conducive to long-term wealth building. 

So the journey began on David writing and teaching others to think like the greatest investors, and give them actionable knowledge to make better decisions around investing.
