Accounting is the language of business.

If you buy stocks, you MUST learn how to read a balance sheet.

Here’s everything you need to know:
The balance sheet is one of the 3 major financial statements.

It shows company’s:

▪️Assets: What it owns
▪️Liabilities: What it owes
▪️Shareholders Equity: It's net worth attributable to its owners

At a fixed point in time
That “at a point in time” part is key!

A balance sheet is a SNAPSHOT of a company’s net worth.

It is usually measured at the end of a quarter/year.

That’s different from an income statement or cash flow statement, both of which are measured over periods of time

I asked, “What online courses are worth every penny?”

I received 89 responses

These 10 online courses are worth the price of admission (and 4 of them are FREE!):

This was the most popular response by far

2/ @coursera

The “Learning how to learn” course by Barbara Oakley is free and, apparently, transformative.

Today is @WarrenBuffett's 91st birthday

To celebrate, here are 20 of my favorite quotes from the Oracle of Omaha:
1/ "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.

When you think about that, you'll do things differently."
2/ "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep you will work until you die."
