We've lined up three courses for autumn 2025 that cover what matters most when you're starting out with investment analysis. Each one builds practical skills you can actually use, taught by someone who's spent years working through the same questions you're asking now.

Balance sheets and income statements look intimidating until someone walks you through them line by line. This course does exactly that—we take real company reports and break down what each number actually tells you about business health.
You'll hear about P/E ratios and DCF models everywhere, but knowing what they mean and when to actually trust them are different things. We focus on the practical side—when these tools help and when they don't.
Risk isn't just about volatility or beta scores. It's about understanding what could actually go wrong with an investment and deciding if you're comfortable with those possibilities. We look at real scenarios where things didn't work out and what the warning signs were.
Torsten spent twelve years as an equity analyst before he switched to teaching full-time in 2019. He worked mostly with mid-cap companies in the manufacturing and industrial sectors, which meant lots of time digging through footnotes and trying to figure out whether management's optimism matched the actual numbers.
He started teaching these courses because he kept running into people who wanted to learn analysis but found most resources either too academic or too simplified. His approach is straightforward—take real examples, explain what you're looking at, and talk about what matters versus what's just noise.
Outside of class, Torsten still follows a handful of companies closely and writes the occasional analysis piece. He's based in Winnipeg and usually available if you have questions between sessions.
