Free Guides Explain Trading Mechanics
Most individual investors lose hard-earned money because nobody taught them how the basic instruments actually work. The free Goat Academy guides fix that gap with short, plain-language tutorials on options, dividends, covered calls, short selling, interest rates and financial statements.
Each guide answers the questions a 15-year-old would ask first. What is a call option, really? Why does a dividend reduce the share price on the ex-date? How does a covered call generate income and protect profits without selling the stock?
The guides also cover the macro side and help readers develop real skills. Interest rates are explained as the price of money, not as a chart line. Financial statements are broken into the three fundamentals that matter most:
- The income statement shows whether the business actually makes money.
- The balance sheet shows what it owns and what it owes.
- The cash flow statement shows whether the profits are real.
That is enough knowledge to read most company filings, follow market trends, and make informed decisions without help from paid analysts.
Free Research, Benchmarks, And Live Training
The download library goes far beyond beginner articles. It includes full investment research, valuation models, stock charts, technical indicators, historical data, earnings estimates, and portfolio benchmarks usually locked behind hedge-fund-level paywalls.
Full Research Reports And DCF Models On Major Stocks
The free reports break down individual companies the way a Wall Street analyst would. Each one includes the business model, the numbers, the risks, and a valuation model you can open and edit yourself.
Current downloads cover Tesla, Meta, Palantir, Nvidia, and Apple. The DCF (discounted cash flow) models show how each stock’s price connects to its future cash, so you can stress-test the assumptions, study earnings estimates, and decide if the market is right.
Portfolio Benchmarks Of Top Investors
Studying what the best investors actually own is faster than reading 50 books on trading strategies. The free benchmarks publish the real holdings of Warren Buffett, Bill Ackman, Carl Icahn, Bill Gates, the Yale endowment, and Brown University.
You can see position sizes, sector tilts, historical data, and recent changes. That tells you where serious wealth is moving, which sectors the smartest allocators trust right now, and which stock picks are quietly being accumulated.
Free Live Seminars And Master Classes
Live sessions teach the “follow the money” framework Felix uses on his own portfolio. The free courses show how to spot sector rotation, read professional positioning, use technical indicators, and identify the moment a chart breaks a key level.
Topics rotate with the market. Recent sessions covered commodity rotation into gold, uranium, and copper, plus the setup forming inside oversold software stocks. The free investing master class is the best place to start building your skills and shaping your strategy.
Free Trading Material Built By A Wall Street Veteran With 76 Million YouTube Views
The best free stock trading resources should come from someone who has actually worked on Wall Street and proven they can teach, and Felix Prehn checks both boxes with a former banking career and a YouTube channel that just crossed 76 million views.
That combination is rare in the investing world. Most free online resources are recycled by people who never worked in finance, and most ex-bankers do not bother teaching beginners how to open a brokerage account, let alone build a portfolio.
Former Economist and Investment Banker
Felix Prehn worked as an economist and investment banker before building Goat Academy. He knows how earnings calls are run, how analyst models are built, and how institutions actually position around news.
That background is why the free guides explain market mechanics from the inside out. You learn what financial experts look at, not what retail blogs repeat. More on his background is on the Goat Academy About page.
76 Million YouTube Views And Counting
In May 2026, the channel crossed 76 million total views. Press coverage from the Associated Press and Yahoo Finance confirmed the milestone.
That number tells you something the marketing copy cannot. Millions of regular people, from new traders to seasoned investors, kept coming back because the analysis actually made sense.
Ninety Percent Free, Ten Percent Paid Mentorship
Felix has said publicly that 90% of his teaching is free across YouTube, the podcast, and the resource library. The remaining 10% is the paid Goat Academy program for people who want structured mentorship, live coaching, advanced trading strategies, and a community of serious investors.
The paid side has its own track record:
- Over 20,000 students trained so far.
- 4.6 average rating on Trustpilot from 560+ reviews.
- Ongoing live sessions, not pre-recorded tutorials.
The split matters. You can absolutely build a real foundation and protect your future using only the free resources, then decide later if the paid program fits your financial goals. Nothing about the free library is gated, time-limited, or hidden behind an upsell.
