Welcome! Here’s what to do first 😤 💰

So glad to have you here — seriously.

Whether you’re brand new to investing or already managing a decent portfolio, this space was built to help you think better, invest smarter, and grow real long-term wealth.

Who am I?

I’m Mikael Syding — former hedge fund manager, private investor, podcast host, and investment educator.

I spent 15+ years running a billion-dollar hedge fund that outperformed the market by 600%, and I’ve learned a thing or two about what actually works in investing — and what doesn’t.

These days, my goal is simple:

Help as many people as possible understand value, manage risk, and take control of their financial future — without blindly following the hype.

Here’s what to do first:

✅ Read the Onboarding Guide

It’ll show you how to navigate the community and make the most of your time here.

✅ Introduce Yourself in the #intros category

Tell us who you are, where you’re at on your investing journey, and what you’re hoping to learn or share. We’re all here to grow — together.

✅ Engage with 3 posts

Go find at least 3 posts or comments that interest you and leave a thoughtful reply. Share a perspective, ask a question, or build on an idea. You get out what you put in.

✅ Explore the Classroom

Inside, you’ll find lessons, resources, and deeper insights — including content from The Investing Course, not available anywhere else. If you’re serious about learning real investing, this is your starting point.

✅ Check out the #wins feed

See what others in the community have accomplished. It’s a goldmine of motivation, strategies, and examples of real-world investing in action.

Why this community exists

Most investing advice online is either noise, salesy, or simplified to the point of being dangerous. This community is different.

Here, we focus on:

• Understanding intrinsic value

• Building a portfolio based on conviction, not speculation

• Taking long-term, intelligent risks

• And most of all — becoming independent thinkers

Whether you’re buying your first stock, analyzing a private business, or trying to figure out what a company is actually worth, this community will give you the tools and thinking frameworks to do it with clarity.

One last thing:

The more you share, the more you learn.

If you’re getting value from the community, pay it forward:

✅ Invite friends or colleagues

✅ Show up consistently

✅ Ask real questions

Let’s build something high-signal, real, and valuable — together.

Looking forward to seeing your intro and hearing your perspective.

Welcome again!

— Mikael
