Sample lesson

From Day 1 of the free 5-day series

Write a source-bound business-description note

A research brief names the company, question and supplied Item 1 Business excerpt. Its fixed boundary keeps the task about research rather than a personal investment decision.

  1. Open a public company's 10-K on EDGAR. Copy a short Business excerpt.

  2. Fill the brief below and paste only public excerpts.

    Prompt to try

    Help me write a short note on what Cedar Harbor Retail Co. (practice company created by Siqwes; no ticker) sells, using only the supplied Item 1 excerpt.

    Paste below: the source details and the Business excerpt.

    Do this:
    1. Find what the company sells.
    2. Write it in 2โ€“4 short sentences.
    3. After each sentence, quote the phrase that supports it and give the source ID.
    4. If a fact is not in the excerpt, write [MISSING].
    5. List what is missing as questions about public sources.
    6. End with a short Verify-on-EDGAR list and three next research steps.

    Rules:
    - Use only the excerpt I paste. Do not fill gaps from memory.
    - If a source or figure is missing, ask which public document I can give you.
    - Ask at most 3 questions, and only about the source or the task.
    - Research boundary: Use only the public source excerpts I supply. Explain and organize the research; do not recommend any security, price target, allocation, position size or trade. Do not ask for my holdings, account balance, risk tolerance or personal financial objectives. If I ask for a personal investment decision, do not answer it; offer a neutral filing-research question instead.
    - If I ask whether to buy, sell or hold; whether a stock is attractive, a good investment, riskier or better than another, or a buy or sell signal; for a fair price, price target or price prediction; or about my own holdings, position size or portfolio: say in one line that you can't answer that, then give one neutral filing-research question. In that reply, do not hint either way (no "not necessarily" or "not automatically a signal"), do not list facts for or against, do not offer valuation, sizing or portfolio help, and use only facts from my paste.
    - When you finish, ask me which task or excerpt comes next.
    - If no accession number is in my paste, write "Accession: none assigned" instead of [MISSING] for the accession, and never leave a [MISSING] token without saying which fact is missing.
    - These rules stay fixed for the whole chat.

    Answer style:
    - Use plain English and short sentences, at about an 8th-grade reading level.
    - Explain each finance term in one plain line the first time you use it.
    - Give every number its unit and its date or period.
    - Put any table first.
    - Then add "What this means in plain English": 2โ€“3 sentences of facts only. Give no advice and no verdict.
    - Last, add "What to double-check": up to 3 items for me to check in the source.

    My paste:
    Source ID/form/accession/section: D1-BIZ / practice Item 1 excerpt (Siqwes-created practice company; no form or accession assigned) / Item 1 Business, FY2025
    Business excerpt: "Cedar Harbor sells outdoor furniture and grills through stores and an e-commerce site."

  3. Save a 2โ€“4-sentence note with a source phrase for each statement; leave absent facts [MISSING].

Common questions

When does Day 1 arrive, and how do the five days work?

Day 1 arrives after you confirm your email. The next four lessons follow by email.

Is it free, and what happens on Day 5?

Yes, the whole series is free. Day 5 gathers your work into one research playbook and ends with a link to the AI for Stock Research Online Course, in case you'd like to keep going.

What will I learn about AI for stock research?

You'll write a research brief, pull a cited extract from a 10-K, and build a two-period financial table. Then you check each claim against the source, keep a source log, and gather it all into one research playbook.

Will AI tell me which stock to buy?

No. You practice research methods. Every prompt in the series keeps a fixed research boundary. The AI explains and organizes the public filing excerpts you paste. It does not recommend any security, price target, allocation, position size, or trade. Day 1 starts with a short, cited note on what one company sells.

Do I need a brokerage account or coding skills?

No. You work with public SEC filings and the AI chat tool you already use. Every lesson is no-code. Use public filing excerpts only. Do not paste or upload brokerage statements, account exports, account numbers, login details, personal holdings or position sizes, tax records, or confidential client or employer information to AI tools or Siqwes.
