Master Class • Cohort Opening Soon

Learn to See What Others Miss. Invest Where the Market Is Blind.

Transform from a market follower into a conviction-driven contrarian using a structured deep-research system that finds mispricings, anticipates catalysts, and builds theses the herd can’t see.

Why this works

Break the Echo Chamber

Pros can’t run this strategy at scale: research is outsourced, incentives misaligned, portfolios oversized. The market herds. You won’t.

  • Join the top 10% of true stock pickers.
  • Exploit overreactions & myths.
  • Replace opinions with overwhelming evidence.
Transformation

From Noise → Knowledge → Conviction

  • Document facts → infer & extrapolate logically.
  • Map players: media, funds, banks, retail.
  • See businesses as systems with flywheels & 4Ps.

This is puzzle-solving research that compounds insight — and returns.

Massive Value

Volume + Depth

  • 20+ frameworks (systems, metacognition, signal-vs-noise, empiricism, info-reduction).
  • SOPs, templates, zero-cost gov/trade data, surveys, scoreboards.
  • Case studies (Pure, RH, Tableau, Etsy) & live thesis labs.
Curriculum

The Contrarian Investor’s Operating System

Seven modules with lessons, exercises, and ready-to-use tools.

Module 1 — The Contrarian Mindset

  • Herd evidence: trends w/o news, instant reactions, portfolio overlap, echo chambers.
  • Why pros can’t do this (AUM, conflicts, incentives) — why you can.
  • Returns as expectations: profit when sentiment is too high or flips from negative to positive.

Module 2 — Mapping & Stress-Testing Consensus

  • Document facts first. Identify 3 thesis points (“if X is true, then …”).
  • Put the business & the stock into context (peers, sector, macro).
  • Network-theory research: start with relevance → let curiosity/logic map the system.

Module 3 — Deep Research Toolkit

  • Triangulate: filings, transcripts, customer/employee interviews, industry studies, surveys.
  • Sources: government data, trade groups, zero-cost resources.
  • Scoreboards, SOPs, templates; avoid pitfalls (complexity, unstructured overload).

Module 4 — Businesses as Systems

  • People drive markets. Growth drivers, domino effects, economic dynamics.
  • Essence layer (e.g., Etsy = novel designs, not “handmade”).
  • 4Ps & Flywheel: categorize info line-by-line; spot reinforcement loops.

Module 5 — From Findings to Theses

  • Ask: “What would make the success story logical when the headline reads?”
  • Link findings → logical conclusions (“A is happening; B is a step; therefore C continues”).
  • Information reduction: distill to decision-useful insights & ranges.

Module 6 — Valuation, Catalysts & Timing

  • P/E (spot & forward), EV/EBITDA, DCF sanity, peer averages/dispersion.
  • Sentiment & positioning: short interest, guidance accuracy, sector performance, VIX, 10y.
  • Catalysts: earnings, guidance shifts, product launches, regulation — capitalize on herd behavior.

Module 7 — Your Repeatable Process

  • Checklists from screening → deep dive → investigative research → quant → decision.
  • Become the conductor of your information network; questions shape research.
  • Stop-rules & saturation: when marginal data stops adding clarity.

Confidence

You’ll Leave With a Playbook — Not Just Ideas

  • Frameworks to separate signal from noise.
  • Methods pros can’t run at scale — but you can.
  • Build theses from product realities, customer behavior, system dynamics — then quantify.

Dense by design: high volume + high clarity to act with conviction.
