Beating Wall Street at Their Own Game

Most people know they should be investing. But the truth? Most don’t really know how. They gamble. They guess. They follow hype.

That’s exactly what Michael set out to fix over 20 years ago when he first started teaching this course.  As the investing and trading landscapes change, so does the course.

His mission: show people how to invest and trade with actual knowledge, not noise. With integrity. With real strategy. And over the decades, he’s refined and expanded the program into what you see today—one of the most approachable, practical, and results-driven investing courses out there.

Michael’s own investing journey started at age twelve, during a snow day in Colorado. Sitting at the kitchen table with his dad, he asked a simple question:

“How do you read stock tables?”

With $30 in his pocket from shoveling driveways, he bought his first share of Public Service Company of Colorado—and never looked back.

He went on to become a corporate and securities lawyer, while continuing to build his own portfolio on the side. In the 90s, he co-founded an elder care company and launched his first investment fund. In the early 2000s, he co-founded a money management firm with a friend, this time focused on teaching everyday people how to build wealth for the long haul.

Across bull markets, bear markets, wars, recessions, and pandemics—Michael has not only stayed in the game, he’s taught hundreds how to play it smarter.

This course is the result of that experience. A streamlined path to understanding the mechanics behind investing, spotting opportunity in uncertainty, and building lasting wealth without gimmicks.

His superpower? Making complex things simple. And making students feel like they belong here—because they do.

If you’re ready to invest with confidence and clarity, you’re in the right place.
