We made it through the whole book. Every chapter. Every pillar. Now it’s time to step back and look at the big picture.
We made it through the whole book. Every chapter. Every pillar. Now it’s time to step back and look at the big picture.
All four pillars are covered. Fundamental analysis, technical analysis, cash flow, and risk management. Now Andy wraps up the book with the practical question: what do you actually do next?
The fourth and final pillar. If the first three pillars are about finding opportunities and taking positions, this one is about not losing your shirt.
In the last post, we talked about positioning and the difference between long and short positions. Now Andy gets into the tool that makes cash flow investing in the stock market actually work: options.
We’ve covered the first two pillars: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Those are your information-gathering tools. They help you understand what’s happening and why.
Chapter 5 of Stock Market Cash Flow (ISBN: 978-1-937832-48-3) by Andy Tanner moves into the second pillar: technical analysis. If fundamental analysis tells you the strength of a company, technical analysis tells you the strength of the market for that company’s stock.
In the second half of Chapter 4 of Stock Market Cash Flow (ISBN: 978-1-937832-48-3), Andy Tanner zooms in from analyzing entire countries to analyzing individual companies. Same fundamental analysis principles, just a different scale.
Chapter 4 of Stock Market Cash Flow (ISBN: 978-1-937832-48-3) by Andy Tanner gets into the first pillar: fundamental analysis. And it starts with a really basic but important idea.
In Chapter 3 of Stock Market Cash Flow (ISBN: 978-1-937832-48-3), Andy Tanner finally lays out the big framework. The four pillars of investing. Everything you’ll ever learn about stock investing fits into one of these four buckets. And once you see them, you can’t unsee them.
Chapter 2 is where Andy Tanner zooms out and shows you the full picture of wealth building. Before talking about specific stock strategies, he explains where paper assets (stocks and options) fit alongside other types of investments.
Chapter 1 of Stock Market Cash Flow sets up something important. Before Andy Tanner teaches you any actual investing strategy, he wants to change how you think about learning itself.
Before we get into the actual chapters, the book opens with a foreword by Robert Kiyosaki and an introduction from Andy Tanner himself. Both sections set the tone for everything that follows. And honestly, they’re worth talking about on their own.
If you’ve ever heard “just put your money in the stock market and wait,” you’re not alone. That’s pretty much the default advice everyone gets. Your parents say it. Financial advisors say it. Random people on the internet say it.
