A note from the founder
My dad introduced me to the stock market in fifth grade. We tracked a pretend portfolio in my notes app, and my whole strategy was picking my favorite companies. I never understood how anyone actually evaluates a stock.
That didn't change until high school, when I joined an investment club and we competed in the Wharton Global High School Investment Competition. It reignited my interest in the market. Throughout the competition I researched stocks and watched YouTube videos to understand how the market works and what causes it to swing.
But I was still practicing in a notes app, and I wanted something better. That's where the idea for StockWise came from: a site where students and young investors can learn about the market and start getting involved in investing.
I believe investing is one of the best ways to build wealth over time, and I want to open it up to everyday investors, not only professionals. The hardest part was building one place where people could learn about the market from start to finish, and I believe StockWise does that. The part I'm proudest of is the learning area, where people can really dive in and understand the market.
Reading a definition of a bear market teaches less than being asked what you would do in the middle of one. Wherever possible, a lesson here puts you in the decision before it tells you the outcome.
Finance hides simple ideas behind unfamiliar words. Every topic is written to be understood by someone who has never bought a share, and any paragraph can be re-explained without jargon at the press of a button.
StockWise never tells anyone to buy or sell anything. Practice trades use virtual money, the companies in simulations are invented, and real events are presented as history, not as predictions.
Every trade has a buyer and a seller who looked at the same facts and disagreed. Showing the optimistic case and the cautious case side by side is more honest than pretending there is one right answer.
Lessons explain concepts, which do not go out of date. Where real events are described, the dates and figures are widely reported ones. Companies used in debates and simulations are invented and labelled as such, so that nothing reads as a claim about a real stock.
Prices come from third-party data providers and may be delayed. Some explanations of news stories and jargon are generated with AI and can contain mistakes. Nothing on this site is investment advice, and past performance does not predict future results.
