For most investors, a passive index approach is the easiest way to invest for the long-term. But if you’re willing to do the research, individual stocks offer a lot of potential. The challenge is knowing what fundamentals to look for, especially in today’s turbulent markets.

Braden Dennis is my guest this week. He’s the founder of stratosphere.io, an all-in-one platform for financial data, company specific metrics, and company research for investors, and host of The Canadian Investor Podcast. He walks us through his 6-step approach for finding great individual companies.
