About MUMAK<\/h1>\n\t\t

Stocks are actually something very simple.<\/h3>

In 1602, the Dutch East India Company founded the world’s first publicly traded company.<\/strong><\/p>

For the first time, people could buy shares in a company and thus participate directly in economic success. The idea was revolutionary \u2013 and it remains unchanged to this day: Stocks are ownership stakes in companies.<\/strong> <\/p>

Nevertheless, stocks are often presented in an unnecessarily complicated way today. Our conviction is different: <\/p>

Stocks have nothing to do with gambling \u2013 they are about strategy.<\/strong><\/p>

This is exactly where MUMAK comes in.<\/strong><\/p>

MUMAK was founded as an online financial journal to make stocks easier to understand and help those interested in finance question the bigger picture. The foundation for this is the Umbrella Strategy,<\/strong> an approach that combines geopolitical developments, industry developments, fundamental data, market sentiment, and technical analysis. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

What does MUMAK mean?<\/h3>

The name MUMAK<\/strong> stands for several things.<\/p>

MUMAK<\/strong> means “M<\/strong>y UM<\/strong>brella AK<\/strong>tien” \u2013 which classifies the selected companies and presents them within the Umbrella strategy.<\/p>

At the same time, MUMAK.me stands for MUMAK Media,<\/strong> the online financial journal for market information and comprehensible classification of companies in the stock market environment.<\/p>

In addition, the term also refers to the MUMAK method<\/strong> \u2013 our structured framework for classifying stocks. Companies are assessed based on defined criteria to bring the underlying context to the forefront. <\/p>

Our vision is simple:<\/h4>

Everyone should have the opportunity to better understand the stock market.<\/strong><\/p>

In our view, stock selection works much like a football team.<\/strong> A good team consists of a few, carefully selected players. A coach decides when new players join the team, when positions are changed, and when a player needs to be replaced. <\/p>

Our goal is for everyone interested in stocks to be able to learn how to become the coach of their own selection.<\/strong><\/p>

The term MUMAK<\/strong> is also inspired by the Mumakil,<\/strong> the mighty elephants from literature \u2013 a symbol of strength and weight. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
