Through every crash, correction and depression, the US market has always recovered — and gone on to new highs.

The proof is a century old. The red dots mark the recessions, corrections and crashes — the moments that felt like the end of the world. The line shows what happened next, every single time.

Past performance is not a guide to future results. The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

So if the market always climbs back, why do so many people still lose money? Two things stop them. They never start — it looks complicated, and they don’t know what to buy. Or they panic and sell when the market is down or crashes, locking in the loss right before every recovery.

Capital at risk. The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a guide to future results. Oak Growth provides research tools, not personal financial advice.

The problem

Stock investing wasn't built for normal people.

Bulls, bears, EBITDA, basis points, beta, liquidity. Most platforms speak a language only finance professionals understand — and it shows.

Here's why new investors give up before they get started.

TOO MUCH JARGON

10,000+ tickers and a brick wall of words.

Every screen looks like a Bloomberg terminal made for someone with an MBA. You're looking up definitions before you can even read the page.

The cost You feel stupid. You give up. The "easy" investing platforms aren't easy at all.
TOO MANY RATIOS

Beautiful charts. Zero clarity.

Charts that look stunning but don't tell you anything you can act on. You stare at twenty numbers and have no idea which one matters.

The cost Analysis paralysis. You read everything and end up back where you started.
TOO MUCH NOISE

The winning RNS is buried in 100 useless ones.

An RNS (or 10-K, 8-K in the US) is how listed companies announce real news. The problem? Most of them — director shareholding changes, scheduled filings, admin updates — don't move the stock. The good ones are buried in the noise.

The cost You spend hours reading filings that don't matter. You miss the one that does.

One curated list. Four pillars. Traffic lights system.

We strip investing back to what actually works. No 50-row spreadsheets. Just the framework Buffett's been using for 60 years — made simple.

Curated, not endless

A focused list of 1,000 quality stocks across 8 global markets — US, UK, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia. We've already cut the noise. What's left is worth tracking.

The payoff You click a button and get a list of the best stocks worth looking at. Not 10,000. Quality not quantity.

Only what matters

Cash, equity, assets, debt. Four numbers. That's what Warren Buffett looks at. Plus our relative valuation score — how cheap or expensive a stock is vs. its sector peers — so you always know what you're paying.

The payoff Four numbers, 4 pillars. Is it cheap or expensive to buy. No other numbers needed after that.

Buy signals + signal news only

Green = good entry. Amber = watch. Red = wait. And we surface only the RNSs and filings that actually move the share price — no fluff or noise.

The payoff A colour tells you when, and only price-moving news reaches you. No digging for hours.

Every stock checked against four pillars.

Each company is scored on the four pillars Warren Buffett uses to identify great businesses. Plus a relative valuation score that tells you how the stock is priced compared to others in its sector.

  • Moat — durable competitive advantageA durable competitive advantage that protects profits from competitors — brand, scale, network effects or switching costs.
  • Value — trading below intrinsic value (DCF — discounted cash flow)The gap between price and fair value, measured by discounted cash flow (DCF). A wider gap means a larger margin of safety.
  • Economics — strong ROE (return on equity), low debt, positive cash flowConsistent high returns on equity (ROE) with low debt and strong cash flow — the hallmarks of a high-quality business.
  • Management — returns capital to shareholdersDisciplined, shareholder-friendly capital allocation — reinvesting wisely and returning excess cash to owners.
Plus a separate score
  • Relative valuation — cheap or expensive vs. sector peers

Built on the classic Golden Cross

Meet the Golden Dot.

The Golden Cross is a momentum signal traders have watched for decades — when a stock's 50-day moving average crosses above its 200-day moving average. We mark that exact moment with a clear Golden Dot, so you can spot a potential entry at a glance. When the lines cross the other way — the Death Cross — we mark a Death Dot, flagging a potential exit.

Compound interest calculator

If you put £5,000 into an ETF or stocks and set up a £200-a-month direct debit, here’s what it could look like in five years.

Each bar is one year. The blue base is your original £5,000, the orange is the £200 a month you keep adding, and the green on top is the compound growth — interest earning interest. Compounded once a year, using real past returns.

Figures as of June 2026

The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you put in. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results — what happened over the last five years will not necessarily happen again. This calculator is an illustration based on historical returns, not a forecast or financial advice, and it assumes a constant annual return (real returns vary year to year and can be negative). The VUSA figure (14.2%/yr) is the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF's past return from the Oak Growth screener; the company basket (NVIDIA, Broadcom, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon) is equal-weighted from five-year total returns to mid-2026 and was chosen with hindsight — no one could have known in advance which stocks would win. US-stock returns are in USD; VUSA is in GBP. Capital at risk.
