Why I Helped Create Growth Vault
A Personal Note from Ian Tai
Before we go further, I want to be completely transparent with you:
This page is written by me—Ian Tai.
It’s not some generic corporate sales pitch.
I’m sharing this with you because I personally co-developed Growth Vault with my boss and mentor, KCLau, and I want you to know exactly why we built this program.
If you’re reading this, you might be wondering:
“Who is Ian? Why should I trust Growth Vault to help Malaysian investors like me?”
Here’s my answer.
When I first started investing seriously, I struggled with the same things many Malaysians do:
✅ Too much noise and tips, but no clear strategy
✅ Wasting time researching but lacking confidence
✅ Fear of making expensive mistakes
Over the years, working with KC, I saw firsthand how his approach cuts through the noise.
He doesn’t just tell you what stocks to buy, but teaches you how to think, how to evaluate, how to hold with conviction.
We created Growth Vault together with a very clear purpose:
✅ To save you years of trial and error
✅ To give you a quick start with a structured, proven framework
✅ To help you achieve small early wins that build your confidence
✅ And ultimately, to guide you toward true investment mastery over time
I wish I had this kind of step-by-step system when I started.
It would have saved me so much time, money, and stress.
That’s why I’m sharing this with you now.
So you can avoid the common mistakes and start building your wealth with clarity, confidence, and discipline.
I hope my story helps you decide whether Growth Vault is the right next step for you.
Investment Success Is Often "Borrowed Genius"
Then, listen up! I'm about to lift the curtain on the game-changing strategies I've mastered for building a powerhouse Growth Portfolio—and guess what? You won't need a PhD in chartology or be a wizard with technical tools to get it right. It's all about smart, straightforward tactics that really work. 📊🚀
I wish I could tell you I was born a natural investor. But the truth is, I wasn’t.
I didn’t grow up with a finance background. I come from a working-class family. I wasn’t trained or groomed to be an investor.
But I realised something important: I needed to learn. And the smartest way wasn’t to reinvent the wheel, but to study those who already succeeded.
That’s what I did. I read, listened, and learned from the best—especially Warren Buffett.
Buffett’s principles are simple, logical, and incredibly useful even in today’s volatile markets. He taught me you don’t need to be a genius—you just need to copy sound principles and apply them with discipline.
Investors who follow these time-tested ideas have built real, lasting wealth. Those who try to figure it out alone often pay the price in losses, stress, and wasted years.
That’s why I built Growth Vault: to share the same principles and proven methods that changed my own investing. So you don’t have to start from scratch or risk expensive mistakes trying to “figure it out” on your own.
How Buffett Thinks Differently from the Average Investor
The difference in mindset between Buffett and most investors is like day and night—and it often explains who wins and who loses.
To name a few, they are as follows:
Why You Should Care About This
Because too many investors lose money chasing tips and rumours instead of following a clear, proven strategy.
Many investors never build a meaningful portfolio that grows steadily and pays reliable dividends.
They buy and sell on tips, rumours, recommendations, target prices, and emotion.
This is the #1 reason they lose thousands, even millions, in hard-earned capital.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
When you know how to build, manage, and grow your portfolio with a clear system, you can:
✅ Avoid costly mistakes that derail most investors
✅ Protect your wealth in all market conditions
✅ Increase your chances of real capital appreciation and consistent dividend income
That’s exactly what I’ll help you do in Growth Vault.
What Is Value Investing and Why Does It Work?
Value investing is about buying GREAT BUSINESSES at attractive prices and holding them long-term as they grow in value.
It works because it relies on FACTS, not hype.
Value investors make decisions based on solid evidence—like annual reports, financial statements, and clear business strategies.
Instead of chasing tips, rumours, or price predictions, they focus on truly understanding the companies they own.
Here’s how it works in practice:
✅ Study the company’s business model
✅ Evaluate management quality and growth plans
✅ Assess its true valuation—not just today's price chart
When you do this, you don’t need stock tips or fancy chart patterns to tell you what to do.
You can make YOUR OWN informed decisions.
And that’s the real FREEDOM investing can offer you.
Why I Started with Dividend Investing (And Still Do Today)
There are 2 main types of Value Investing: Dividend Investing and Growth Investing.
I started as a Dividend Investor (and I still am today) because dividend investing is EASIER and PERFECT for beginners who want to build a reliable stream of passive income.
In my early years, my portfolio was small. I earned small dividend payments and had minor capital gains or losses.
These early experiences were pivotal and educational.
Through them, I discovered something important:
The most efficient way to enjoy GOOD DIVIDEND YIELDS, CAPITAL GAINS, and diversify wealth away from MYR risk is to invest in the TOP 1% companies in Singapore.
Over the years, I built a portfolio focused on top-tier Singaporean companies.
Today, I earn regular dividends for 8–9 months EVERY SINGLE YEAR—no matter what the stock market or economy is doing.
I co-founded DividendVault.com as an educational platform with KCLau, my partner and together, we have empowered our subscribers from diverse backgrounds to build solid portfolios that generate dividends year-after-year.
Why MYR Dividends Alone May Not Be Enough
The Ringgit has consistently lost value against the Singapore Dollar.
Over the last 5 years, the MYR has depreciated at a CAGR of ~2.0% against the SGD.
What does this mean for Malaysian investors?
If you’re earning 4%–5% annual dividend yields in MYR, you’re essentially “not earning much” after factoring in the 2% annual currency depreciation against SGD.
Think about it:
✅ Your dividend yield is real, but the buying power can erode.
✅ Currency depreciation quietly eats away at returns.
✅ Even “good” yields in MYR may lag behind if the Ringgit keeps weakening.
Personally, I chose to diversify into SGD-denominated assets.
My dividend receipts are predominantly in SGD, and I realised:
A 4%–5% annual yield in SGD is VERY different from a 4%–5% yield in MYR.
It’s not just about the yield percentage—it's about protecting and growing your real wealth over time.
That’s why diversification beyond MYR isn’t just smart.
It’s necessary.
Why I Didn’t Stop at the Singapore Market
To be clear, I have tremendous respect for the Singapore stock market.
It’s become one of Asia’s top financial hubs.
✅ Political stability
✅ Excellent corporate governance
✅ Favourable tax structure for dividend investors
I invested there for years because it offered solid, reliable opportunities.
But here’s the truth: Singapore is a small nation of just 5+ million people.
No matter how well-run it is, it has natural limitations:
Limited talent pool
Smaller market size
Fewer industries and sectors
Eventually, I realised:
If I stuck only to Singapore, I’d end up holding “most” of the good companies there.
That’s concentration risk—just in another form.
I wanted more diversification.
More global brands.
More industries.
More geographies.
If I wanted to own the best businesses in the world, I needed to look in a bigger, deeper market.
That’s why I turned to the U.S. stock market.
KCLau Walks the Talk—and Built a Solid U.S. Stock Portfolio
One of the reasons I trust KCLau as my mentor is simple:
He doesn’t just talk about investing—he actually does it.
Over the years, KCLau has built a substantial U.S. stock portfolio filled with some of the world’s top 1% companies:
Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Costco, Meta, Berkshire Hathaway, just to name a few.
These are world-class businesses most of us have heard of.
So the question isn’t really “What stocks did KC buy?”
The real question is:
How did he choose them?
How did he know when they were worth buying?
How does he manage them through the ups and downs?
That’s what sets successful investors apart.
Not memorising a stock list, but understanding:
What do you really know about these businesses before investing?
How do you value them rationally?
What is your plan for holding and managing them long term?
How will you react when prices drop or markets get volatile?
These are the exact questions KC taught me to ask.
Inside Growth Vault, that’s what he shares with everyone who wants to invest smarter.
Not just stock picks—but the thinking, the process, and the discipline behind them.
The above is KCLau's portfolio since Dec 2018.
Case Study: Berkshire Hathaway
To illustrate, I’ll be walking you through KCLau’s actual investments into Berkshire Hathaway.
This is done on a step-by-step basis so that you get to pick our brains and assess our mentality and approach when it comes to stock investing.
So without further ado, let’s begin.
Part 1: 2012-2018
KCLau initially stumbled upon Berkshire Hathaway in the year 2000. He candidly admits that he wasn't savvy enough back then to grasp the power of long-term stock investment as a superior wealth-building strategy.
It wasn't until 2012 that KCLau dived deeper into understanding Berkshire Hathaway. During this period, he became well-acquainted with the tenets of value investing, which, unsurprisingly, emphasized buying shares in solid companies and holding them for the long haul.
As part of his homework, KCLau closely studied how Berkshire Hathaway leveraged its insurance ventures to construct a diversified conglomerate and amass a stock portfolio valued in the billions. 📚💰
From his studies, KCLau discovered that, from 2000 to 2012, Berkshire Hathaway had reported the following:
- Increased its group revenues year-after-year.
- Delivered billions of dollars in net earnings year-after-year.
- Generated billions of dollars in operating cash flows year-after-year.
- Expanded its stock portfolio.
Due to its fundamental strength, KCLau bought his first shares of Berkshire Hathaway at US$ 120-130 per share in 2013.
Subsequently, KCLau made a few more investments into Berkshire Hathaway Inc around US$ 150-170 per share in 2016-2017 as the stock’s businesses continued to improve.
Then in August 2018, KCLau sold off all of his shares in Berkshire Hathaway for around US$ 200 a share each and used the proceeds as down payment to buy his residential property for US$ 555k in the U.S.
Today, as KCLau had moved to Taipei, the home is tenanted for US$ 3000 a month and its price had appreciated to US$ 760,000 presently.
KCLau's house in the USA
Part 2: 2019 - Present
After KCLau sold off Berkshire Hathaway in 2018, he continued to keep himself updated on its business results as he planned to invest his money back into the company.
He bought some Berkshire Hathaway in 2019 but the true opportunity came in 2020-2021 during Covid-19.
At that time, Berkshire Hathaway fell below US$ 200 to US$ 170-180 levels, which was even lower than price he sold his shares in 2018.
But in terms of its fundamental strength, Berkshire Hathaway in 2020 was more “solid” as compared to itself back in 2012 when KC Lau first bought it.
This is because since 2012, Berkshire Hathaway had continued to:
- Increased its group revenues year-after-year.
- Delivered billions of dollars in net earnings year-after-year.
- Generated billions of dollars in operating cash flows year-after-year.
- Expanded its stock portfolio.
So in 2020-2021, KCLau found that Berkshire Hathaway was not only fundamentally “more solid than before” but also was undervalued at US$ 170-180 levels.
Thus, armed with such knowledge, KCLau invested into Berkshire Hathaway confidently. When everybody are so fearful of the future due to Covid-19 lockdown, he just went in to buy more shares happily.
As a result, KCLau is now 2-3X up in capital appreciation for his shares in Berkshire Hathaway, which he bought 2-3 years ago.
So, the chronology of transactions KC made in his investments into Berkshire Hathaway can be summarised as follows:
Source: Google Finance
KCLau Mentions that His Biggest Regret
is that he wished that he know or learn about value investing much earlier in life.
KCLau first bought Berkshire Hathaway when he was in his early 30s. Before that, he tried stock trading and lost money in his early 20s.
Then in his late 20s, he just parked his money in unit trust as he thought it to be less risky as compared to stocks.
Just imagine that he knew about value investing in his early 20s, when he could invest in Berkshire Hathaway for US$ 50 a share.
His capital appreciation wouldn’t be just 2-3X in 2-3 years, but 6-7x in a span of 25 years.
What If You Could Confidently Build a U.S. Stock Portfolio Like This?
What If Building This Kind of Portfolio Was Simpler Than You Think?
Imagine owning a U.S. stock portfolio filled with the world’s top 1% companies, growing in value year after year.
You just saw how KCLau did it:
Focusing on the business fundamentals of every stock he buys.
Valuing them carefully to avoid overpaying.
Holding them long term—ideally forever, to let compounding work its magic.
If you master this approach, here’s what you gain:
Greater confidence knowing you’re buying strong businesses with real staying power.
Improved chances of sustainable capital appreciation, in line with these companies’ long-term growth.
Reduced investment risk, because you’re avoiding overpriced or fundamentally weak stocks.
Peace of mind knowing you have a clear, proven strategy—not just reacting to market noise.
This is exactly what you’ll learn inside Growth Vault.
Not just what to buy, but how to think, evaluate, and hold for lasting wealth.
So, Where Do You Go From Here?
As I’ve said before, what KC and I do isn’t some secret formula.
It’s actually simple, proven, and timeless.
Millions of successful investors around the world have used these value investing principles to achieve consistent dividends and steady capital gains in their portfolios.
These principles are learnable, repeatable, and practical.
If you’re ready to start building your own portfolio the right way, here’s what you can begin doing right now:
Download and read the annual and quarterly reports of companies you’re interested in.
Compile their key operating and financial data.
Calculate valuation ratios to see if you’re getting a fair price.
Build a watch list of companies worth owning—and get ready to act when the price is right.
All of this information is free and accessible to any investor willing to put in the time.
If you’re willing to learn, you can do this on your own.
But if you want to shortcut the trial and error, save time, and learn a structured approach that’s worked for us, that’s exactly what we teach inside Growth Vault.
The choice is yours.
“But Ian... I Don’t Have Time to Study All These Financial Reports”
Can I Just Skip This and Invest Directly in the U.S. Stock Market?
Of course—you can do that.
Who’s stopping you?
You can open a brokerage account today and start buying U.S. stocks immediately.
That’s what most people do.
But here’s the truth: That approach isn’t for us.
We didn’t grow our portfolios to 7 figures by buying aimlessly without research.
We know firsthand that buying stocks without due diligence is counter-productive.
It wastes time.
It wastes money.
And it increases your risk of failure.
Think about it this way:
If you were managing a multi–7 figure portfolio, would you feel comfortable blindly picking stocks without reading financial reports?
How would you know which companies are truly income-generating, reliable, and worth holding?
How would you know if a stock is undervalued or overpriced without checking the numbers?
If you want to build, manage, and sustain a meaningful stock portfolio, you can’t skip this process.
It’s not about being a “finance wizard.”
It’s about being business-minded—because investing is serious business.
Sure, it takes time to learn.
But isn’t that true for anything worthwhile?
A doctor spends years in medical school before treating patients.
An accountant studies before managing other people’s money.
Even athletes train for years before competing at the highest level.
The bottom line is this:
If you want to grow a meaningful, long-term stock portfolio, you can’t shortcut the work.
But you can shortcut the learning curve.
That’s exactly why Growth Vault exists—to give you the clear, structured approach you need to invest with confidence.
How Long Does It Really Take to Learn Value Investing?
Let’s be honest with you. We’re not going to sugarcoat this.
Both KC and I have spent 10+ years learning, studying, reading, and refining our approach to value investing.
We’ve put in thousands of hours understanding how to analyse businesses, read financial statements, evaluate deals, and manage a real portfolio over the long term.
We know that sounds like a lot.
Because it is.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t have to take 10 years to get started.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
What if we could walk you through the entire process, step by step?
What if we could show you exactly how to build a strong, well-researched stock portfolio—from scratch?
Wouldn’t that take your confidence from 20% or 30% all the way up to 80% or 90%?
And what if you had access to our data, research, and case studies on the top 1% companies of the world?
So you could shortcut your learning curve from 2–3 years down to just a few months?
That’s exactly what we created Growth Vault to do.
If you’re serious about growing big, this is your chance to get the guidance you need—without wasting years figuring it out the hard way.
Here’s What You’ll Get in the Growth Vault Program
Right now, we’re inviting serious investors to join us in this Growth Vault —a complete, guided program designed to help you master value investing the practical way.
When you join us, you won’t just watch some videos and take notes.
We’ll walk side by side with you through a structured, step-by-step process to help you build your own Growth Portfolio—filled only with the world’s top 1% companies listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
This isn’t theory.
This is an action-focused program.
By the time you finish, you’ll have the skills, confidence, and clear strategy to choose, evaluate, and manage your own U.S. stock portfolio independently.
You won’t have to figure it out alone.
We’ll show you exactly how to do it—so you can invest smarter and grow your wealth with clarity and conviction.
Here’s a breakdown of exactly what we’ll do together:
GROWTH VAULT TRAINING MODULES
You will get all these training materials:
Module 1
The “Big Money” in Stock Investing
As mentioned, stock investing successes can be “copied”. Thus in Module 1, I’ll illustrate the rationale of how savvy investors could build their wealth in the long-term through a case study. From it, we’ll derive 3 key focus points to build and manage a profitable and sustainable Growth Portfolio
Module 2
Five Viewpoints on Risks
Is stock investing risky? Are you concerned about the ups and downs, bulls and bears or possible crashes in the stock market? Here, in Module 2, I’ll share how the top 1% stock investors deal with risk so that we can build ourselves portfolios that are profitable and sustainable over the long-term.
Module 3
The System to Build a US Stock Portfolio
Today, there are 6,000+ stocks listed in the United States. Not all are investible. So here, I’ll share an effective system to identify the “top 1% companies” from others that aren’t profitable. This is so that we can be efficient in building portfolios as we place our focus on winners and save time, energy, and capital from losers.
Module 4
Fundamentals: Investors’ Guide to Reading Financial Statements
The top 1% investors master the art of interpreting financial statements. This is because they want to find “great businesses” to own so that they could build wealth and reduce investment risks at the same time. Here, I’ll share with you how to read a stock’s annual reports so that you can find stocks that are financially solid independently. Once you’ve mastered this skill, you no longer need tips and recommendations to invest.
Module 5
Valuation: How Not to Overpay for these “top 1% companies”
As fundamentally good these top 1% companies are, we don’t want to overpay for their shares. This is why we need to do stock valuation. Here, I’ll share 3 valuation metrics on determining if these “top 1% companies” are undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued. This allows us to buy shares of these companies at better prices than most investors.
Module 6
Portfolio Management
In the short-term, stock prices can be volatile and unpredictable. To most people, this is why stock investing is risky. But, to the top 1% investors, such volatility is an ally, a good friend that helps them to become richer.
In this module, I would share how we can turn short-term price volatilities into “friends” of ours so that we can capitalise on “bargains, discounts and values” especially in economic crises and stock market crashes. If you are able to manage this, you won’t no longer fear investing in bad market conditions.

If you are able to manage this, you won’t no longer fear investing in bad market conditions.
Module 7
Portfolio Allocation: Malaysia, Singapore and US Stocks
In this module, I’ll share with you the major unique attributes for stocks listed on Bursa, SGX and the U.S. (NYSE and NASDAQ). This is so that you can craft and design your own stock portfolio according to their characteristics. As a result, we would be building stock portfolios that are balanced in terms of “Growth + Dividends + Liquidity”.
"Will I Really Need to Spend Hours Reading Financial Reports Every Day?"
It’s a fair question—and here’s the honest answer.
By the time you finish the Growth Vault Training Modules, you’ll be transformed into a Growth Investor who knows exactly how to build and manage a portfolio of the world’s top 1% companies—independently and confidently.
But you might still wonder:
“Will it take me hours every day to sit and study these annual reports from scratch?”
I completely understand why you'd ask that.
Because honestly? That’s what I did—and still do.
Because those hours have always been worth it.
But what if you didn’t have to start from zero?
What if you could skip the hardest part and get:
✅ Clear guidance on what to look for
✅ Proven shortcuts to evaluating companies
✅ Ready-to-use data, research, and case studies
What if you could get all of that—so you could invest smarter with much less time?

Unlike most subscriptions (Netflix, Apple iCloud, YouTube Premium, and nearly every other service) that reward loyalty with price hikes, we do the opposite.
We reward your commitment with a locked-in, unchanging fee.
Your membership will always renew at the same price per year—guaranteed.
How does it work?
Your subscription is on auto-renewal for your convenience.
If you ever want to cancel, just email us at [email protected]. You can even cancel it in the members' dashboard.
We’ll stop the billing before the next cycle.
No hassle, no questions asked.
This is our promise to you: we want you focused on growing your portfolio, not worrying about rising costs.
GUARANTEE #3:
Full Refund If Your U.S. Portfolio Doesn’t Grow Over 3 Years
This is where it gets really interesting.
We’re not just selling you another membership.
We’re on a mission to help you become a serious, successful investor—someone who can confidently build a first-class U.S. stock portfolio filled with some of the best companies in the world.
Our Goal?
We want you to do more than just make some money.
We want to help you grow your wealth consistently over time.
That’s why we’re making you this bold promise:
If, after following our program for 3 years, your U.S. stock portfolio is down in value—we’ll refund your entire membership fee.
Why can we offer this?
We know our approach is built on time-tested investing principles.
We believe that if you apply what you learn, you’ll own quality companies that grow over time.
We’re not here for hype, quick trades, or empty promises—just solid, reliable results.
How does it work?
Follow the Growth Vault training and build your portfolio over 3 years.
If your portfolio value is lower than when you started—even after that long-term effort—simply show us your negative results.
We’ll give you a full refund.
That’s how much faith we have in the process, and in you.
This is us putting our money where our mouth is.
Because your success is our best proof that Growth Vault works.
"GROWTH INVESTING CHALLENGE":
How it Works
Here’s exactly what you’ll do to qualify for our 3-Year Full Refund Guarantee:
1️⃣ Watch and Learn
Start by going through the tutorial videos inside the Growth Vault membership.
These lessons will give you the practical knowledge you need to evaluate and choose companies from our 30+ top 1% stocks.
2️⃣ Build Your Portfolio with 5 Companies
Choose any 5 companies from our curated list that meet these criteria:
Solid Fundamentals: Demonstrated growth in sales, profits, and strong operating cash flows.
Reasonable Valuation: P/E Ratio not more than 28 and close to long-term historical averages.
Minimum Holding Period: 3 years.
3️⃣ Hold for 3 Years
If you purchase and hold these 5 stocks for 3 years—and your combined portfolio shows a loss in capital value at the end of that time—we’ll give you a full refund of your Growth Vault membership fee.
Even if it’s just a RM1 loss, you’ll qualify for the full refund.
Important:
Please keep your brokerage statements or records as proof of your investments. This ensures transparency and lets us validate your results if you request the refund.
Our goal is simple:
We want you to apply what you learn and see your wealth grow confidently over time.
Quick Example
For instance, if you join the membership on 31/3/2025 and invested RM 100k into the 5 stocks as follows:
3 years after 5/5/2024 (the purchase of the fifth stock), you continue to hold the 5 stocks and attain the following capital gains / losses (excluding dividends):
The market value of the 5 stocks is RM 70k, which is 30% below your investment of RM 100k.
You can submit the statements to us, proving that you bought and held onto these 5 stocks for 3 years and we would refund you all of the membership fees paid for Growth Vault. That would be RM 7,152.
But What if I Sold Off Any of these 5 Stocks before the 3 Years?
Let’s say you bought Stock A on 30/4/2025 and decided to sell it off on 5/1/2026 (holding period <3 years), that stock would not be eligible for the full refund. Why? This is because we’re promoting long-term stock ownership as a means to compound net worth. Remember: We are long-term stock investors, not short-term stock traders.
We Want You to Enjoy the Life You Truly Deserve
Imagine this for a moment:
No more restless nights worrying about whether you're doing enough for your family's future.
No more guessing games with your investments.
Instead, you have a solid portfolio of world-class companies quietly growing your wealth year after year.
Picture sitting down with your spouse over a cup of coffee, talking confidently about your financial plans—not with anxiety, but with genuine excitement for what’s ahead.
Imagine telling your kids about the shares you own in companies they know and love. Showing them what it means to be smart with money.
Leaving them a legacy that isn’t just about ringgit and sen, but about wisdom and security.
This isn’t just about making money. It’s about freedom.
It’s about knowing your hard work will keep paying you back long after you clock out for the last time.
It’s about giving your family the security they deserve—and the opportunities you may have only dreamed about.
We built Growth Vault for this reason alone: to help everyday Malaysians grow their wealth with clarity, discipline, and confidence.
We don’t want you to just join Growth Vault. We want you to transform because of it.
That’s why we back it up with:
A 30-day no-questions-asked refund—because you deserve to try it risk-free.
A fixed subscription fee for life—so you’re never punished for being loyal.
And our extraordinary 3-year performance guarantee—if your portfolio of 5 stocks loses money over 3 years, we’ll refund every cent of your membership fee.
We do this because we want you to win.
To see you proudly managing your own portfolio.
To see you confident, calm, and certain that you’ve done right by the people you love most.
If you’re ready to take that step, join us now.
Your future self—and your family—will thank you for it.

FAQ
-
Is the payment set to automatically renew?
If you opt for payment via credit or debit card, your subscription will auto-renew on the same date the following year—no muss, no fuss. However, if you choose to pay through a bank transfer, auto-renewal isn't an option. You'll need to manually send in your payment when it's time to renew for the next year. 🔄💳
-
When can I cancel my subscription?
Feel free to cancel whenever you want. If you pull the plug within the first 30 days, you'll get a full refund, no questions asked. Decide to cancel after the 30-day money-back guarantee? No worries—you can still cancel at any time. The cherry on top? You'll maintain full access to the members' area until your next scheduled renewal date. 🗓️🔓

It helps me and many that never own stocks before 2010 or during these crisis to understand what that experience during such market crashed like and how to prepare emotionally and financially for it. Ian really awesome analyst diver, take time to deep dive into case study, really help me open up another horizon of my perspective.
