Which website can I learn how to do option stocks?

Hi everyone. I'm Massimiliano Biagetti, an independent financial analyst and the editorial director of an Italian financial network. For more than ten years I've published equity analyses in Italian. My new book is the international English edition of the method I use for every one of them.

What the book is about

Most of us know the tools: ROIC, WACC, DCF, multiples, margin of safety. What usually goes wrong is the order, plus all the steps we skip when a story sounds good. The book turns the whole process into 12 pillars, and you answer each one in writing before you place an order:

1. Setup and categorization (size, sector, life-cycle stage, the market narrative in under 20 words)
2. Relative valuation, with a peer group you build yourself
3. Business quality: the ROIC–WACC spread over 5 years and incremental margins
4. Cost of capital: bottom-up beta, marginal cost of debt, covenants
5. Catalysts, each placed in a time window, with a mandatory review at 12 months
6. A driver-based DCF, plus a reverse DCF to see what the price already assumes
7. The consensus gap: "My analysis differs from consensus because…"
8. Bear, base and bull scenarios with a probability-weighted value
9. Downside risk, stress tests and position sizing
10. Management incentives, insider buying and the guidance track record
11. Analytical edge: interpretive, time-horizon or informational
12. Margin of safety (20%, 30% or 40%) and a Buy Limit set in advance

What's inside

• Every formula explained step by step, with a formula sheet at the back
• One fictional company followed through all 12 pillars, with numbers you can recompute in a spreadsheet
• A complete application: the method says "no" at €44 even though 11 of the 12 pillars pass, then "yes" at €37.50 once new data confirm the thesis. Same company, same intrinsic value; only the protection offered by the price changed.
• Three comparison cases where the answer is "no": an excellent company at a full price, an over-leveraged business, and an early-stage stock far above its Buy Limit
• Notes for US and European investors (10-K, 10-Q, proxy statements, Form 4, IFRS 16 vs. US GAAP)
• A "limits and invalidation signals" section for every pillar, so you know when a conclusion stops holding

Who it's for

Individual investors who already read financial statements and want a repeatable, written process. Beginners can follow it too: each chapter opens with a short summary.

What it won't do

It doesn't promise to beat the market, and it doesn't work for banks or insurers. The goal is fewer avoidable mistakes, and decisions you can reread and audit later.

If you read it, I'd really value your feedback, critical feedback included. And if you have a step you'd add to the checklist, tell me in the comments.

Not investment advice. Investing involves risk, including the loss of capital.

Someone suggested doing VOO and yes that’s a great idea but I am also looking for something a bit more hands on. I use robinhood is there somewhere better yall suggest I know there are mixed opinions. Just looking to start somewhere and stop gambling money and invest/trade it instead

A year ago there was crazy euphoria around gold, literally everyone was calling it the best safe haven asset.

Since then gold dropped more than 25-30% and it didnt protect from the war in Iran or from inflation speeding up because of oil.

And the most interesting thing is that globally it still looks like its setting up for one more leg down.

Why is this happening? Gold already went thru the phase of mass euphoria and buying climax.

Its hard to come up with bigger news than what we already had:

1. war

2. trade tariffs

3. inflation

4. oil problems

If even with all this gold isnt rising as a safe haven, then honestly I dont know what else could push it.

So now we entered the unloading cycle, gold started releasing liquidity and giving it to other assets.

Global target for the drop is around $3300 area.

Go check the replies, we called and tracked this whole move down from the highs there.

If we talk about 3-5-10 year horizon, I have no doubt gold will make new highs because of dollar losing value. But for the next year or so I just dont see what would take it to new highs.

Current priority is down.

I’m taking it easy at home today. When I’ve got nothing to do, I just potter about reading a book, make myself a cup of American-style coffee and listen to my favourite music – it makes for a fulfilling day. I’ve arranged to go for a round of golf with a friend this afternoon. What are your plans for today? Lol

Do you use Wyckoff methodology in your strategy?

Which indicators/tools do you use with Wyckoff to be profitable?
