Finance.

Contrary to popular belief, the financial world is not an exclusive club where men in silk dinner jackets sit around, arbitrarily establishing interest rates, between sips of single malt scotch.

The Basics.

The truth is, finance is not terribly complicated. Once you break it down, finance is just a collection of terms and concepts that everyone can understand.

What we do.

We strip finance down to the essentials – the Bear Essentials. We deliver weekly financial news in a comprehensible way. We also help with terminology, concepts and answers to common financial questions.

Who we are.

We’ve been members of the financial world for years – each lending a different perspective. We’ve managed multi-billion-dollar investment portfolios, traded stocks and structured mortgages.

Don’t panic, nobody here owns a silk jacket. Ironically though, we all own a pair of aviators from a gas station somewhere in Wyoming.

Intrigued?

Anyone can become a member of our club – and there are no dues to pay. Sign up here for free weekly summaries of the financial news.
