A Structured Approach to Stock Picking Practiced by the World’s Best Investors
There are no secrets to the art of sensible stock picking that most people don’t know of. The literature has been there since the 1940s, when Ben Graham, the father of value investing, first wrote about it in his landmark book The Intelligent Investor.
Other practitioners of this art, like Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Seth Klarman, Walter Schloss, and Howard Marks have been writing about it for years now.
So, you can find hundreds and thousands of resources in print and on the Internet on how you can become a smart, successful investor. However, what I found lacking ever since I started learning this art of sensible stock picking myself, was a structured, step-by-step approach to do it.
I never knew where to start and how to proceed. I could never find a mentor who would hand-hold me in my learning journey.
With this thought in mind, and after interacting with a lot of investors who were sailing in the same boat as I was, I set out ten years back to combine all my investment learning of more than a decade (now two decades) – both personal experiences and what I learned vicariously – to create a course that teaches its students what the world’s best investors have practiced for years i.e., Value Investing, and how they did it successfully.
I also sifted through a mountain of amazing books, documents, lectures, and other resources so that I could bring on the table just the very best ideas and lessons in investing and building wealth for other investors to learn.
And thus was born The Safal Niveshak Mastermind – my premium, online course in Value Investing. Over times, the course has evolved, but it still remains my most comprehensive, step-by-step, structured approach to teach you the stock picking process that has created some of the best investors in the world.
Not just that, Mastermind has now evolved beyond just the value investing course. As a Mastermind Member, you can now also unlock access to and my exclusive members-only content like special articles, ebooks, transcripts of my podcasts, notes from the books and other timeless resources I am reading, curated content that I am consuming and learning from week after week.
The goal of The Safal Niveshak Mastermind Course is simple – To help you get richer every single day.
One of the most important things I have learned over the years is that just one right idea can change your life. And that’s where Mastermind should help you. Instead of you spending precious time drowning in an ocean of mediocre ideas and lessons hoping to find a good one, I will do that work for you, exactly as I have been doing for the past 12 years.
Finally, by becoming a Mastermind Member, not only will you access all the exclusive content and lessons reserved for you, you will also help me keep putting out all of my free content. Thank you.

Become A Little Wiser, Daily
“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”
~ Charlie Munger
