Analyzing Microsoft Mastermind
*** 5+ Weeks ***
What Will This Mastermind Cover?
  • In this first mastermind we’re going to analyze Microsoft’s (MSFT) most recent annual, quarterly, and proxy reports.
  • We going to read through, take notes on, answer questions about, and analyze these financial docs for Microsoft.
  • I’ll show you step by step how I read and analyze financial reports…
  • ​You’ll learn red flags I look for and how to find hidden assets.
  • ​We’ll go over any questions you have in depth so you understand how to evaluate financial reports on a deep level yourself.
  • ​Other than a preliminary analysis I did of Microsoft for someone in the Value Investing Journey Facebook group a while back I’ve never evaluated Microsoft before.
  • ​You’ll see how I go through financial reports from first glance to the final analysis so you can do the same.
What Is A Mastermind?
I can’t speak for other masterminds but in this one you and 10 other people – 11 including me – will meet every week online to talk about Microsoft and its financials.

In between these periods I’ll read and take notes on points of interest during the section of the financial reports that we will talk about during our sessions.

You’ll also do this if you want to learn the most but not a requirement.

You and the other participants will interact with each other, ask and answer questions, and give your analysis of Microsoft as you see it.

Where Will It Take Place?
  Online via free video conferencing software Zoom.
When Will It Happen?
There are three weekly options to choose from…
  • Every Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 7 PM EST.
  • Every Thursday from 10:30 AM to 12 PM EST.
  • Every Sunday from 10:30 AM to 12 PM EST.
The time that receives the most sign ups will be the one we do.
If an equal amount of people sign up for multiple days, we’ll do both.
How Much Does It Cost?
  Only $97

I charge upwards of $1000 per hour for my time in the arena of value investing and finance education and consulting. So, at true value this mastermind should cost north of $5,000 per person. But you’ll get the same interaction for only $97 for the entire mastermind. And you get the same in-depth discussions and knowledge.

How Long Will The Mastermind Last?
  As of right now the plan is for this to last 5 weeks. This may go longer due to the length of the financials and how many questions people have during the live sessions, but 5 weeks is the target.
Each individual Zoom session is planned to last between 1 and 2 hours.
What Will You Learn?
  How to read and analyze financial reports like a professional…
The plan is, after this mastermind you’ll have the confidence to read financial reports by yourself so you can analyze potential investments.
Why Is Each Group Limited To Only 10 People?
  I want you to get your questions answered and be involved with the other group members… Over 10 people or so and this becomes harder to do.
How Can You Sign Up?
  You can sign up by Clicking Here or scrolling to the top or bottom of this page.
Is There A Way I Can Preview What We'll Learn?
  Yes… Here’s a link to a YouTube Video.

It’s a training session with one of my Masterclass and Coaching program students.

In this video we spend 16 minutes talking about only 7 words in a company’s financial reports. 

Why?  So he would fully understand the various nuances involved in this sentence so when he came across it in the future he could understand and evaluate this section himself. 

This is the kind of depth you can expect from these mastermind sessions too.
