I use a number of tools, Wolfram Alpha for the calculations, P5.js, D3.js for data & infographics, Obsidian for document analysis via Claude Fable 5.1 and Elevenlabs to turn my scripts into voice narration, then I have a python script that puts everything together

Unfortunately, the majority of retail investors do not understand that a good company and a good price are different questions..
Thinking of buying the Amalgamated Brands IPO? Read this first. AB is a good-looking company. But a good company and a good price are two different questions. I went through the prospectus and ran the numbers. Here’s what stood out. 👇 View article

Never..because it doesn't make sense when I can buy a brand new just for few thousand dollars more

If this ends the war, it should be a welcome move. Enough of the death and destruction

My aim is to help ordinary retail investors like my elderly parents understand what they are investing in. I'll share whatever I learn

Thank you for taking the time to response. I would genuinely like to hear about the journey behind the first property and what you feel I missed in my review. I’m happy to correct anything that I got wrong.

Here is my view of One Square K. I used a number of tools to create this. The most important being an Analysis Skill that I created. A skill is basically an MD (Markdown) file that contains precise instructions on how a task should be performed based on Warren Buffet's investemnt style. My md file has 16 stages and part of stage 1 is below. I then used Obsidian to ingest the prospectus and apply the rules in my skills md file Stage 1 — Understand the business Before any numbers, answer: What does this company actually sell or do, and to whom? How does it make money? (revenue model in one paragraph) Who are its main competitors? What would have to be true in 10 years for this business to still exist and be profitable? If you cannot answer these questions confidently from the available information, say so plainly. Buffett's rule: "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." It is better to say "I don't have enough information to evaluate this business" than to hallucinate. The first version is about 7 min 30 sec or you can play the second version that is almost 3 min Remember, these are just my opinions and not investment advice
Thank you for sharing the link. I spend the next couple of hours of this evening and the better part of tomorrow going through this 145 page prospectus and I'll share my thoughts. Just so we are clear, I am not a qualified investment advisor...I just share my opinions.

Agreed, I was considering the Shark as a daily drive. Only makes sense if you buy to hold and never sell

Bally, if you have time, you should read this book. In it Brzezinski identifies Ukraine as the ultimate geopolitical pivot. He argues that "without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire." Brzezinski was the National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter. What is happening in Ukraine is right out of this book

Earlier this year, I was looking at the BYD Shark..not any more. I think, I'll give EVs a pass for the next couple of years. For me, it doesn't make sense to buy such a depreciating asset.

Same situation in Australia young blood. Here, Evs in general lose 25% of their value in the first year!!

House of Saud is basically begging the Iranians to rein in Ansarullah. Present at the meeting were Saudi Defense Minister, Khalid bin Salman Pakistani Field Marshal, Asim Munir Turkish intel chief, Ibrahim Kalin Iranian President, Pezeshkian Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaee. I hope, they'll be able to strike a deal...less conflict, more cooperation

Thanks for the link. I don't understand why this document is not available on the company's website

The point being, potential investors shouldn't have to chase documents that explain what they are being asked to buy.

My parents asked me to have a look at this IPO, so I visited the company's website to check out the prospectus...apparently, it's coming "soon". If any of you are applying for this offer, what are you basing your decision on considering the prospectus hasn't been published?
The LUSE BELL RINGS @OneSquareK1 Opens its IPO offer today, signaling its coming to list on the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc. The window for investing has been opened. Be part of history for this “once in a lifetime” occasion. @LuSE_Plc #FinancialInsight #Get2Know
