Which sounds like you?
Learn how stocks work before you put a dollar in.
Nobody teaches this in school. That’s not your fault. You don’t need a finance degree, or a lot of money, to understand a company. You need someone to explain it without the jargon.
“Where do I even start?”Type a company you already know: a store you shop at, an app on your phone. See what it does, how it makes money, and what one share looks to be worth.
“What do all these words mean?”Every term is explained the first time it shows up, and the Learning Center has short lessons that start from the very basics.
“How do people tell if a price is too high?”See a fair value range from four ways of valuing the company, where today’s price sits against it, and the working behind it.
“What’s going on in the market?”A free newsletter explains the day’s biggest stock stories in plain English, in a few minutes.
It’s for you if
You’ve never owned a stock and want to understand them first.
You have a 401(k) through work and want to know what the companies in it actually do.
You keep hearing about stocks in the news and want to follow along.
Know what you own, and why it moves.
You’re not bad with money. Nobody explained it. You got a 401(k), maybe a brokerage app, and a wall of numbers. The tools that make sense of them were built for professionals, in their language. So most people set it and forget it, and only look when a headline says the market is crashing.
“Is this stock expensive?”A fair value range from four ways of valuing the company, and exactly where today’s price sits against it.
“It beat earnings. Why did it fall?”What the company’s own SEC filing said, next to what analysts expected. Plenty of companies beat their estimate every quarter and fall anyway. The headline doesn’t explain it; the filing might.
“What is this chart doing?”Paste a screenshot of any chart, and ReadR tells you the trend and the prices that matter, in plain English.
“I can’t watch prices all day.”Save a stock to your watchlist, and your phone tells you when the price crosses its range. Free on every account.
It’s for you if
You own a few stocks and want to know whether today’s price still makes sense.
Your retirement money is in the market and you want to understand the companies behind it.
You read earnings headlines and want to know what the filing actually said.
