I am Sumeet, and I started the website FinPins - be finlightened (finance + enlightened) out of a passion to empower more people with the right knowledge on investing and trading stock options.

The more I talk to people, the more I am shocked to learn about the state of financial awareness. I reflected back on my own life and realized that there’s little to no formal education provided in schools (and even colleges) regarding apparently the most important aspect of adult life – finance! Even less education (reliable, trustworthy, high quality) is available for investing in the stock market.

I have met people who have lost huge amounts while betting on stock options without even fully understanding the risks that come with trading options. Let’s change that!

I am committed to simplifying the language so that anyone can understand how stock options work, and what are the risks and benefits of trading stock options.

I was lucky enough to know about the right resources early on in my life and, initially, self-taught finance to me through trusted online resources. Later I took on college-level courses in economics and finance, further added to that with an MBA with a focus on finance at Emory University.

With my educational background and 10+ years of personal investing experience, I decided to break down the complex world of investing in simpler language so anyone can understand it and utilize the knowledge well.
