About

Capital Field Guide publishes plain-English guides to stocks, bonds, real estate, and retirement money for everyday investors.

Why this site exists

Most financial content is written either for professionals or to sell you something. We try to do neither. Each guide explains how an investment actually works, what it costs, what can go wrong, and where to check the official numbers yourself.

How we work

  • Primary sources first. Every number (rates, limits, yields, tax brackets) is checked against an official or primary source, such as TreasuryDirect, the IRS, the SEC, FINRA, the Federal Reserve, or a company’s own filings. Each guide lists its sources.
  • Dated and updated. Each article shows when it was last reviewed. Rates and limits change, so we update articles when the official numbers change.
  • Education, not advice. We do not tell you what to buy or sell, and we do not pick stocks. We explain how things work so you can make your own decisions or ask better questions of a licensed professional.
  • Honest about tools. We use software, including AI, to help research and draft. A human editor reviews every article and checks every figure before it is published.
  • Clear about money. The site is supported by advertising and may use affiliate links. That never changes the facts we report.
