Qumario is an independent editorial project about how financial markets work, written for people in South Africa who want to understand the basics for themselves. It covers what a market is, how prices move, how to read a chart and how to weigh the information you come across.
A great deal of what is published about money is either too technical to follow or is really a sales pitch in disguise. Qumario sets out to explain the groundwork clearly and honestly, in plain language and with nothing to sell, so that a reader can understand why something is the way it is rather than simply being told what to think.
The material is a set of short articles and notes on:
Qumario is strictly informational and educational. It does not sell financial products, does not accept commissions, does not manage money and is not a registered financial services provider.
