Rule #1 Investing is a U.S.-based financial education company that teaches long-term, value investing principles. The approach is built around the idea often described as the first rule of investing: don't lose money.Founded by investor and author Phil Town, Rule #1 Investing provides educational programs designed to help individuals understand how to evaluate businesses and make disciplined investing decisions.

Rule #1 Investing’s methodology is centered on the Four M’s framework—Meaning, Moat, Management, and Margin of Safety—which guides learners through a repeatable process for analyzing companies and understanding valuation principles. These ideas are also reflected in Phil Town’s published work, including the Rule #1 book.Rule #1 Investing serves a global audience of beginner and experienced everyday investors who want clear, principles-based investing education delivered in plain English.

I now have complete confidence in evaluating companies for investment. The cost of the webinar is exceptionally low, making it an incredible value. The staff and coach are highly responsive and provide insightful answers to all my questions. This webinar is truly outstanding.

hearing Phil's BAG of empowering this generation and our family with knowledge of investing from his Rule 1 book and seeing it in real time during the workshop was inspiring. The Coaches Mel and Bonnie were pivotal to navigating the landscape and took their time answering all our questions. I would highly recommend your taking the time to attend the workshop. For me, there is no other option but to proceed with the rule 1 method of investing as laid out by Phil and his team!

Rule #1 has provided some great educational tools. I have learned so much about valuing a company for investment. I am choosing to continue with additional courses because the ones I have taken so far have been life changing.

We learned so much from this workshop. I highly recommend it.

A very intense seminar that moves very quickly. A longer period of time to prepare (more than a day) and forehand knowledge of topics would have given a better opportunity to keep up with the lecture and breakout sessions.

The seminar had a good balance between overview and specific information. I read the book from Phil years ago and I realized that a lot has changed. I like the toolbox. Missing information in the past and difficulties to get them kept me out of investing. Now I am enthusiastic to start.
