Jennifer Welsh Email & Phone Number

I bought my first stock in 2008. The market had crashed, and my dad, a broker at the time, encouraged me to start. “Everything’s on sale,” he said. I loved picking stocks and watching them move. But I didn’t have a strategy, and I was terrible with money. So I ended up selling my stocks when I needed money. Had I held on to those early investments, I’d be sitting on a pile of money today. But I wasn’t thinking long-term. I have a lot of regrets about that. When the market crashed again in 2020, I was older and wiser. And my dad’s words came back to me. “Everything’s on sale.” I dusted off my old brokerage account and got back to my old hobby. Watching the market, learning, buying stocks. But this time, I was serious. It wasn’t long before I fired my financial advisor. It was clear my accounts hadn’t been managed with my best interest in mind. And I realized I could manage my own portfolio. As I learned and invested more, I talked with friends about their views on investing. Time and again, people told me the stock market intimidated them. Everyone expressed interest, but did not believe they could invest on their own. So I started showing some friends how to open a brokerage account. I showed them how I make investing decisions. I made it easy for them to understand. I got a lot of joy from demystifying the stock market so my friends could start investing too, without feeling intimidated. And with encouragement from those friends, and my husband, I started sharing my learnings about the stock market more publicly. I'm no Warren Buffett. And I’m certainly not a financial advisor. I’m a regular person who loves investing. I believe everyone can and should participate in the stock market. And you don’t need anyone to do it for you. If you want to learn the basics of stock market investing, and you want to invest on your own, then you're in the right place. I will teach you to invest in the stock market.NOTE: I don't offer investment advice. I offer education about money and investing.
