Why Business Behind Stocks exists
When I first stepped into the world of trading and investing, I was looking for financial education. Instead, I was hit by a wall of noise. Everywhere I looked — from trading forums to YouTube channels — the entire conversation was dominated by a casino mentality.
It was all about CE and PE options, drawing lines on charts, and chasing the next "hero-to-zero" expiry trade. People were obsessing over red and green candles, but nobody was talking about the actual companies. The core fundamentals of wealth creation were completely missing from the mainstream conversation.
I realized very quickly how fortunate I was. As an ICAI student, my entire world revolved around finance, corporate accounting, and my absolute favourite discipline: auditing. While the internet was screaming about chart patterns, my background had already trained me to look under the hood.
I didn't learn the markets by watching hype videos. I learned by grabbing heavy financial textbooks, tearing apart balance sheets, and understanding cash flows. I loved the audit process — the thrill of finding the hidden truths behind the numbers, uncovering a company's structural moats, and identifying the actual value of a business.
The average retail investor was being set up to fail simply because they were starved of real, fundamental financial education. They were trading blind. I created Business Behind Stocks to solve the exact problem I faced when I started.
