A strong business with a demanding valuation

Exceptional profitability and a fortress balance sheet. The valuation requires stronger future performance than the record shows.

Price

Is it cheap or expensive?

Today's price against the stock's own valuation history. Fair against its past isn't the same as cheap: a stock can sit in its usual range and still price in demanding growth.

Who's behind it

I built the tools I wanted for my own investing. Inside Premium, I share how I put them to work.

Dan Kent
Dan KentFounder, Stocktrades · Investing since 2009Co-host, The Canadian Investor

I've been a self-directed investor for 17 years, and I still ask the same questions you do. Is this a good business? Is the price reasonable? How does it fit with what I already own? Those are the questions I built these tools to help me answer.

The tools show you the numbers. Inside Premium, I share how I read them: when a strong business isn't an attractive price, and why my view on a company changes.

Find and test ideas

Find an idea worth investigating.

Start from my four curated lists, the top-graded stocks or the screener, then research the business and assess its valuation before you buy.

Follow my reasoning

See what I'm doing, and why.

My newsletter explains what I'm buying, selling and watching. Every trade I make in my own portfolio is disclosed and dated.

Ask when it isn't clear

Bring me the question.

Ask about a stock or an idea and I'll answer it. Answers are shared, so you can also search what other members have asked.

Companies can't pay for coverage. My ownership interests are disclosed alongside my research.

I already have a brokerage account and free research. What does Premium add?
Premium brings stock screening, business grades, valuation and portfolio analysis into one place. Alongside the tools, you get my research, the reasoning behind my own portfolio decisions, and answers to your questions, so you can investigate an idea and ask when the numbers need explaining.
Where would I start once I join?
Access is instant. Start with a stock you already own: read its grades and why it earned them, then check its valuation against its own history. Looking for ideas instead? Begin with my curated lists or the top-graded stocks.
Is Premium useful if I'm still learning?
Yes. Reports explain each grade in plain English, so you can work through companies at your own pace. When something isn't clear, ask me about the stock or the idea.
Can I ask you about stocks I own?
Yes. Ask about a stock you own, one you're considering, or a broader investing question, and I'll answer it, typically within 24 hours. Answers are shared, so you can also search what other members have asked.
Do I need to connect my brokerage account?
No. Add your holdings by hand or import a CSV. No brokerage connection is required.
What if I join and it isn't right for me?
Request a refund within 30 days, on either plan. Separately, you can cancel your renewal anytime; your access continues through the period you've paid for.
