Former Investment Banker Teaching Regular People Stock Market Rules
Two people put money in the stock market on the same day.
One bought a stock because a friend said it would go up.
One year later: lost money and feels confused.
The other bought after creating an unemotional plan and setting a limit on how much he could lose.
One year later: stayed calm because he knew the rules.
The difference between them? Nobody taught the first person how the market works.
“There is no magic formula or miracle trade. The aim is to build a framework, develop discipline and learn how to make decisions with a clear head rather than emotions.”
Risk management comes before profit. Keeping money safe matters more than chasing a big win.
Learning how the market works comes ahead of picking any single stock. A steady process, repeated over and over, is better than a hot tip.
Felix Prehn earned his financial base as an investment banker and economist long before Goat Academy or his YouTube channel existed. In 2020, he committed to his defining mission: helping 1 million people take control of their finances and built Goat Academy to teach the stock market in detail, and in a way people can follow without a finance background.
Students learn risk management, emotional control, and the Wall Street playbook.
Felix and his coaches teach you to recognize the important metrics for knowing when to buy and when to sell, reducing uncertainty.
Every student learns to set exit strategies and prepare contingencies.
90% of the teaching costs nothing. Felix's goal is financial education for people in every walk of life, not merely the ones already working in finance.
Started in 2020, the YouTube count is almost at 700,000 subscribers, with over 80 million views as of June 2026. Videos break down economic trends, stock market analysis, and how to read charts.
For people who would rather listen, the Felix Prehn podcast runs on six platforms:
“I am not telling you what to do. I am not a registered financial advisor. The only thing I am registered as is the proud owner of a Golden Retriever named Winston. What I do share is knowledge I gained from Wall Street mentors and years in the markets, so you can make better decisions.”
