From There to Here

Most everyone needs to invest.  The stock markets are a highly accessible, very effective way to do this, if you know how.  Most people honestly don’t know how, they gamble.  Michael started giving this course over 20 years ago to show how to invest and trade with real knowledge, integrity and understanding, and he’s been teaching and refining the program ever since.

Our goal is to deliver the best course in the clearest, most practical, most comprehensive, most enjoyable way. At the age of twelve, Michael’s interest in investing began during an unexpected snow day when he sat with his father at the kitchen table.

With $30.00 from shoveling snow for neighbors, he asked his father, “How do you read stock tables?” This query sparked his lifelong journey into finance. Although understanding stock tables took time, he eventually bought his first share of Public Service Company of Colorado, setting the stage for his financial adventure. While pursuing a career as a corporate and securities lawyer, Michael continued to invest, often with more success than in his legal practice.

In the 1990s, he co-founded an elder-care company and started his own investment fund. In the early 2000s, he and a partner launched a money management company, dedicating themselves to teaching practical investing to anyone interested. Throughout his diverse career as an investor, attorney, business operator, and mentor, Michael thrived in various financial climates, from market fluctuations to wars, economic cycles, and even a pandemic. His approachability, humor, and effective teaching methods transformed numerous students into successful investors, many of whom became his valued colleagues. Michael’s enduring legacy lies in his ability to demystify investing, empowering others to navigate financial challenges with confidence.
