Stock Market Fundamentals Program
A practical learning path for Canadians who want to understand how markets work. We cover the basics—reading charts, evaluating stocks, managing risk—without making promises about your returns. Most participants complete the program in six months and walk away with a clearer picture of what investing actually involves.

What You'll Learn
Four Phases of Market Education
This isn't about shortcuts or guaranteed wins. It's about building a foundation that lets you make informed decisions. We break down complex topics into manageable chunks, and you move through at a pace that actually makes sense.
1
Market Mechanics
8 weeksHow exchanges operate, what moves prices, and why certain events matter more than others. You'll learn to read basic charts and understand the forces behind market movements—supply, demand, and everything that influences them.
2
Company Analysis
10 weeksReading financial statements, evaluating business models, and spotting red flags. We dig into balance sheets and income statements—not to turn you into an accountant, but so you can separate solid businesses from shaky ones.
3
Risk Management
6 weeksUnderstanding position sizing, diversification, and when to cut losses. This phase focuses on protecting yourself from major mistakes—because in markets, not losing is sometimes more important than winning.
4
Building a Strategy
8 weeksPutting everything together into an approach that fits your goals and risk tolerance. You'll develop a personalized framework—not a get-rich scheme, but a coherent plan for making decisions you can stick with.
Learn From Practitioners
Our instructors have spent years navigating markets themselves. They've made mistakes, learned from them, and now they share those lessons—without the hype you'll find elsewhere.
Rhett Castleman
Market Analysis LeadRhett worked in equity research for twelve years before joining our team in 2022. He specializes in financial statement analysis and teaches you how to spot inconsistencies that others miss. His approach is methodical—no flashy predictions, just solid frameworks.
Zinnia Vega
Trading Strategy InstructorZinnia manages a portfolio for a Toronto-based firm and brings real-world strategy development to the classroom. She focuses on risk management and position sizing—the unglamorous stuff that actually keeps you in the game long-term.
Tavish Wendell
Market Fundamentals CoachBefore teaching, Tavish spent eight years analyzing Canadian equities. He breaks down market mechanics in a way that makes sense to beginners, focusing on what actually drives price movements rather than technical jargon for its own sake.
Ember Calloway
Portfolio Strategy AdvisorEmber has built portfolios for individual clients since 2016. She teaches the final phase of our program, helping participants develop strategies that match their actual circumstances—not some idealized investor profile from a textbook.
Teaching Assistant Support
