Meet Dr. Evelyn Reed
My Philosophy
I believe that financial literacy is a fundamental right, not a privilege reserved for the few. My career, spanning from rigorous academic research to managing institutional investment portfolios, has been driven by a single, unifying goal: to make the world of investing accessible and understandable for everyone. The stock market can seem intimidating from the outside, a complex world of jargon and charts. My mission is to tear down those walls.
I want to teach you not just what to invest in, but how to think like an investor. We'll explore the 'why' behind market movements, building a deep, intuitive understanding of risk, value, and long-term strategy. Investing is a journey of discipline, knowledge, and foresight, and I'm here to be your guide, your mentor, and your biggest advocate for financial empowerment.
Biography
My fascination with the forces that shape our economic lives began during my undergraduate studies. I was captivated by how markets function, how companies create value, and how individuals can build wealth through intelligent decision-making. This passion led me to the University of Chicago, where I earned a Ph.D. in Economics, focusing my research on behavioral finance and market psychology—the hidden biases that influence investor behavior.
After academia, I dove into the financial industry, where I had the privilege of managing multi-million dollar portfolios for institutional clients. I've analyzed hundreds of companies, navigated volatile market cycles, and developed risk management strategies from the ground up. This practical experience taught me invaluable lessons about what truly drives long-term success in investing—lessons that often get lost in the day-to-day noise of the market.
Yet, my heart always remained in education. I started this project, "Stock Market: From Zero to Hero," as a way to synthesize my experiences and give back to the community. It's the book I wish I had when I was starting out: comprehensive, practical, and written with the aspiring investor's journey in mind.

As someone who was always afraid of the stock market, the "Foundations" chapter was a lifesaver. I finally understand the basics of how it all works!
The chapter on Value Investing is pure genius. I've read other books, but this is the first time the concept of 'margin of safety' truly clicked. The case studies are brilliant.
The technical analysis section was incredibly helpful for my trading strategy. I was able to identify trends I would have missed otherwise.
I've been investing for years, but the chapter on behavioral finance and risk management taught me so much. It's rare to find a book that covers the psychological side of investing so well.
