I do a ton of research before I buy anything online—and so should you. Below is a list of all the products and brands I recommend based on personal experience. Whether supplements, foodstuffs, technology, tools, or anything else, all of the items below are ones I use in my own home. Please note: some of the links below may contain affiliate links. You don’t have to use my links, but if you do, it really helps to support my blog. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thanks and BTFD.

Canalyst:

Canalyst's dedicated team of analysts produce and maintain 4000+ fully linked-up robust financial models. There’s no need to ever look through a company’s 10Q or 10K again. 500+ buysiders at hedge funds and global asset managers are using Canalyst to kick start their analysis and ramp up on new names. No longer will you have to wait on your intern to update a spreadsheet—Canalyst’s team is much quicker.

They also provide pre-IPO models using S-1 documents—which is what I used to compare Uber and Lyft before they went public in 2019.

Every model is updated for earnings data, restatements, and significant M&A in near real-time to include:

  • Consensus data & real-time stock pricing linked to your data

  • Drivers cells for your assumptions

  • Income statement + adjusted numbers, as reported

  • Cumulative/quarterly cashflow and balance sheet

If you’re looking for new investment ideas and a way to save a ridiculous amount of time, check out Canalyst today. Obviously tell them I sent you.

masterworks:

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST: I’m officially retiring from the stock market...okay well maybe not completely, but I’ve started looking at places to diversify some of my money outside of the stock market. A hedge fund buddy of mine tipped me off about Masterworks—a platform that lets you invest directly in artists like Basquiat, Warhol and KAWS (which have historical returns of 8-30%). So while I might not be able to hang it on the wall of my Malibu bungalow like Leo, I can still make money as it appreciates in value.

The thing is, billionaires invest differently than us plebes who typically have too much tied up in stonks. It’s not just Leo making the big bucks - Diddy, Steve Cohen and Ken Griffin have been making bank from art for decades. Even Oprah made $62 million off of a single painting in 2017! So, if you haven’t already, check out my Masterworks blog post. Or, if you hate reading then you can just go directly to their site and skip their 25,000+ waitlist with this fancy Ramp Capital link.

YCharts:

Before joining YCharts, I was constantly scrambling to find consistent and reliable market data. With fundamental data for approximately 20,000 companies and over 4,000 financial metrics, YCharts is a one-stop shop for data. No more running around from service to service trying to cherry pick data. No more headaches. I’ve spent days (weeks) playing around with their data trying to come up with fun and interesting charts that can spur healthy conversations on Twitter.

My favorite YCharts features include: Excel add-in, fundamental charts, timeseries analysis, and stock screener. I also use YCharts to help track $WERAMP performance. Their user interface is simple, intuitive, and appealing. Their service team is also as friendly as their user interface. YCharts has increased my efficiency ten-fold since I became a full-time user.

YCharts is currently offering a 20% discount on YCharts Pro through April for first time licenses by mentioning code "Ramp".
