This episode is brought to you by TIKR. Join the free beta today at TIKR.com/hive. They’re constantly releasing new updates that make the platform better including a new Business Owner Mode that hides share count, market cap and enterprise value. I couldn’t be more excited to partner with TIKR.

Stephen Clapham has one of the most decorated resumes of any guest I’ve interviewed. He’s traveled Europe as an equity analyst. Worked his way up to partnership status at multiple multi-billion dollar hedge funds. And now he runs a website dedicated to training investment analysts in the art of reading financial statements.

Clapham’s learned A LOT over his tenure as an investment analyst and coach and he joined the Hive to share his knowledge with us. Along with the podcast, Clapham just finished writing a new book: The Smart Money Method — which listeners can get for $1.99 on Kindle by the end of this Sunday.

Our conversation spanned myriad topics including:

  • Working for a Tiger Cub
  • Investing in IPOs
  • How To Plan Your Day As An Investor
  • How To Spot Frauds

and more!

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and look forward to chatting with Stephen again soon.
