In 2005 I realized that there will be a multitude of Investors who will not see the flashing Warning signs of disaster up ahead. They were completely ill prepared to read those Warning Signs and therefore will drive their Investment Vehicles into disaster. Now, 4 years later, the wrecked Investment Vehicles are evident everywhere.
That same year, for the specific purpose of educating Investors that they are missing those warning signs, I formed Analyze Business, Inc., an Educational Program which takes you from the very basic to the most advanced topics in Investing. Many other programs claim to Educate correctly, however, those same programs completely fail the Student. They have basically motivated and sent the Student out to a new and dangerous road without teaching the Warning Signs to avoid the obstacles in front of their Investment Vehicle. My program will correct this lack of "REAL" Education and expose the problems of other Institutions.
I will also give demonstrations through Public Records of my own transactions such as Deeds, Appraisals, Contract of Sales, Closing Documents, Stock Trading Orders, etc. You will have absolutely no doubt in your mind that these Transactions are real. You will become confident as I produce the education with the documents and techniques.
Since 2005, I have had the opportunity to meet and Educate more than 200 Student Investors with a full range of topics. Many who stayed with my Program found it to be not only enlightening, but also helped them to refrain from making bad investments. Others who only attended sporatically have not fared as well.
Prior to this Meetup Group, I had chosen to keep my program small and accessible via "word of mouth" recommendations to capture serious Student Investors. In the process, I have honed my skills in teaching the topic as best and effectively as possible. This Meetup Group is dedicated for the purpose of teaching Investing Skills which I have gained as an Instructor for the past 4 years since 2005.
While the student environment will be serious, you will also see that you will be very comfortable. What is the point of becoming Wealthy if it is not enjoyable?
The Curriculum
Our Mission is to provide the best Financial Education, PERIOD. We are dedicated to offer our Education Program as inexpensive as possible. Our Current rate is $20 for a 3 hour course, just $6.67 per hour.
Note: Classes are held once a week. So an 8 week course is 8 classes. Sometimes it will take longer as our Classes are taught at the speed of the class.
1. Future to Beginner Investor (9 weeks) - Your Beginning
Although you may have an MBA, work in a Financial Company, hold a CPA or Accounting Degree, etc., you must start at the Beginning.
If it were that an MBA, CPA, Accounting Degree, etc. guaranteed that you would be a successful Investor, then anyone holding one of those Degrees would be successful. While I believe those Degrees can be helpful, I have not seen a correlation between any Degree and a Successful Investor.
1. a) Return on Investment (ROI) - 3 Weeks
An Introduction to Excel and ROI.
Most Investors really don't understand how to Calculate an ROI, especially a Multi-year ROI. You will be taught to calculate ROI's for less than a year, a year, and multi-years. You will also start to learn the true meaning of Cashflow. Again, another problem with most Investors, normally Real Estate Investors. Real Estate Investors seem to think that the Cashflow of a property only has to do with the Income of a Property. That is incorrect.
This portion finishes with a test on Multi-year ROI. Once you pass this exam, your status will change from a Future Investor to a Beginner Investor.
1. b) Basic Business Model - 6 weeks
You will start to use Excel's more complicated features by building your own Analytical Tool. The Tool will be specialized for Real Estate, but it can be Customized to any Business. There are several sections: General Information, Base Rate and Points, Payment Calculation, Loan Amortization, Revenues, Expenses, Depreciation and Financial Calculations including Cashflow, Cap Rate, Net Income, etc.
This portion finishes with a comprehensive Excel exam. Once you pass this exam, your status changes from a Beginner Investor to an Intermediate Investor.
2. Intermediate Investor (6 Weeks)
You will now hone your Financial and Excel Skills in order to build a much more sophisticated and comprehensive Business Model. You will include Calulations for pro-rated 1st year analysis, Pre-Payments, and project your Analysis to 10 years out.
3. Advanced Investor (4 weeks)
You will learn to build a Business Plan.
About Me
---------
I have been an Investor since 1998, approximately 12 years, purchasing and owning several multi-family Investment Properties in New York City as well as active in the Stock Market. All of my Investment Properties are doing Excellent, are fully Cashflowing and makes an exceptional return.
I have Invested in the Stock Market for over a Decade. Although the vast Majority of Investors have lost approximately 50% of their investments recently, I am currently returning more than 50% Annual Return on Investment (ROI) through various techniques in both Options and Stock trading techniques. All of which I will be teaching, proving and presenting in class.
I have also worked for the Federal Reserve Bank for 3 years as well as many of the top 10 Financial Companies in the world including Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) and Merrill Lynch.
In 2003, my Net Worth exceeded a Million Dollars. I left the Rat Race and became a full time Investor, completely financially free, never having to work again.
If you feel that you are a serious Student looking for an Educator with my Skill and Experience, then I welcome you to join my Meetup Group.
It is the mission of Analyze Business, Inc. which I founded, to provide the best Investment Education possible for dirt cheap to the General Public that will be completely clear and understandable. The Goal is to teach you to Drive your Investment Vehicle without crashing it.
Some of the Curriculum includes:
Understanding basic and complicated Financial Analyticals such as Rate of Return, Cashflow, Discounted Cashflow, Cap Rate, Yields, Net Operating Income (NOI), Return on Investment (ROI), etc.
You will learn to build a very sophisticated Excel Tool which will preform Analyticals on Investments such as Investment Properties and Corporations.
Economics such as the Economic Indicators like Unemployment, Housing Starts, Housing Inventory, Home Sales, Home Prices, Consumer Pride Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI), both Core and non-Core (the Headline), etc. Economic Topics such as "Flight to Quality," Leading and Lagging Indicators, Government Policy changes, etc.
Tax Strategies are absolutely important. Without a good understanding of Taxes, you cannot understand your true Cashflow or your Rate of Return. This is commonly called the After Tax Cashflow (ATCF) and the After Tax Rate of Return (ATROR). You will learn topics such as Depreciation, Amortization, Tax Brackets, etc. I find this the one area where almost all of my Students lack knowledge.
Again, this is for serious Students of Investing. If you don't have the time to meet a few times a month minimally, then this is NOT the meetup for you.
I am sure you will have a wonderful experience and education.
