Wallstreet Heroes

The formats we run, and who each one suits

Weekend workshops in Woodstock, after-school clubs for schools, an online cohort for readers outside Cape Town, and a starter workbook you can work through on your own before you commit to a session.

What you actually walk away with

Every format on this page is built around the same idea: you should be able to explain a market concept out loud, in your own words, before you put money anywhere near it. No signals, no shortcuts, no promises.

Formats and session outlines are listed on services.html, and questions about joining a cohort go through support.html.

  • Read a share price properly

    You learn to separate the last traded price from bid, ask, day range and volume, so a single number stops looking like a verdict on a company.

  • See where inflation lands

    We track a real first-salary budget across twelve months and mark the shortfall in transport, food, data and rent. The gap becomes visible instead of theoretical.

  • Spot a pitch before it costs you

    Urgency, screenshots instead of documents, no mention of downside. You get a short checklist for recognising speculation dressed up as advice.

  • Work from real company reports

    Each module closes with an exercise using a public annual report, so you practise matching a quote to the business and the numbers behind it.

  • Build a budget that survives the month

    Before any long-term decision, you map income, fixed costs and what is left. Facilitators are working analysts, accountants and teachers, and they push back on vague plans.

How a session actually runs, from first question to finished exercise

Every format on this page follows the same route. It starts with what you already know and ends with something you produced yourself, using real public company reports rather than slides.

  1. 1

    You pick a format and tell us your starting point

    Saturday workshop in Woodstock, the online cohort, or the after-school club. A short form asks what you already read and what confuses you, so the facilitator does not spend the first hour on ground you have covered.

  2. 2

    A facilitator maps the module to your group

    Working analysts, accountants and teachers run the sessions. For a school group the emphasis usually lands on budgeting and inflation; for first-time earners it shifts toward reading a share price and understanding why diversification matters.

  3. 3

    Concepts get worked out on the whiteboard

    No signal groups, no stock tips. We draw the mechanics: bid and ask, day range, volume, how prices move when a company reports. Handwritten annotations stay on the board so you can photograph them at the end.

  4. 4

    You open a real annual report

    Each module ends with a practical exercise. You take a public company report, find the revenue line, the debt note and the segment breakdown, and match what you read to the price you saw earlier in the session.

  5. 5

    Risk gets named, not glossed over

    We walk through what can go wrong: prices fall, reports disappoint, hype pitches use urgency and screenshots instead of documents. You leave knowing how to spot that language before any money moves.

  6. 6

    You take the workbook and a next step

    The starter workbook carries the same exercises home, plus a one-page budget sheet for a first salary. If you want the longer route, the online cohort picks up where the Saturday session stops.
