For Canadian DIY value investors
Know what a stock is worth before you buy it.
Bring it any company — one you own, or one you are thinking about — and Benjamin Graham's valuation methods, the ones that taught Warren Buffett, run on that company's own filings. Free, no card, and it works alongside whatever AI you already use.
Use it with your AI
Let the AI find the names. Let this check the numbers.
You almost certainly have an AI already — the free one in your browser, or one you pay for. It is good at reading widely and coming back with a shortlist. It is not good at telling you when it is wrong, and it will hand you a confident number either way. That is the half this does.
- 1Ask your AI for a list of value stocks worth a look, with each one's current share price. Anything you like — cheap on earnings, out of favour, a sector you follow.
- 2Bring each name here with its price. Every method in the book runs on that company's own filings from SEC EDGAR — the same way, every time, with the fiscal year and filing date shown beside every figure.
- 3Keep the ones that survive. A shortlist is easy to produce and hard to trust; this is where it gets checked.
Why it works this way: you bring the names and the prices, so nothing here has to license a market data feed — which is what keeps it free. Between your AI and this, you get research that used to cost a subscription, and neither half is guessing at the other's job.
- After-tax yield in a TFSA, RRSP or taxable account
- Every method shows its formula
- A value built for banks and insurers
This is the actual app
Not a mock-up — a live screen, captured signed out on September 25, 2026. Exactly what you get.
What you get
One workflow, end to end: find a name worth the effort, judge what it is worth, watch it while you get on with your life, and hold it in the account that keeps the most of it.
Each one shows its formula and its citation, then a plain cheap, fair or expensive verdict.

Curtis Travis, B.Comm, AACI (retired). Valuing things for a living, then applying the same discipline to shares.
Each method displays its formula and a citation. Where a method misfires — banks, REITs, utilities — the app says so on the page.
Every valuation method in the book, run on any company you bring it, plus paper trading and the classroom tools. No trial clock, no card, nothing held back for a paid tier.
TSX coverage, CAD conversion, and after-tax yield by registered account.
No back-tested track record. This app is new — every stock the letter covers is dated and public from here on.
The book
Not finished, and not for sale yet.Old rules. New companies.
A healthy Canadian bank scored “distress” on a formula built for factories. A software compounder looked absurd on one tool and fair on the next. Know what it's worth, and you know which reading to believe.
Thirteen tools. No single score.
Every reading kept separate, with the weight it deserves for the business in front of you. A score can't tell you what it's hiding.
The weekly letter
One valuation a week — in plain English
Each week I run one North American stock through Benjamin Graham's checks — what it's worth, whether it's actually cheap, and which Canadian account to hold it in. Free, no spam.
And every issue stays up, dated: the letter exactly as it was sent, the workfile behind it, and the price that morning against the price today. Revisited in public at 8 months, then at 8, 18 and 28 years — winners and losers, nothing taken back.
