Description

If the thought of investing in the stock market scares you or you are looking for basic understanding of stock trading then you have come to the right place. Individuals with very limited experience in stock investing are either terrified by horror stories of the average investor losing 80% of their portfolio value which is absolutely true UNLESS you understand the fundamentals of stock trading.  That is why Ali Shiekh having collaboration with Imran Afzal has created this course for people who are new to stock market and want to explorer the option of passive income through stock trading.


Investing is a way to set aside money while you are busy with life and have that money work for you so that you can fully reap the rewards of your labor in the future. Investing is a means to a happier ending.


Investing is defined as the act of committing money or capital to an endeavor with the expectation of obtaining an additional income or profit. Unlike consuming, investing earmarks money for the future, hoping that it will grow over time.  Investing, however, also comes with the risk for losses.
