Requirements

  • There are absolutely no requirements! I started learning when I was 10, and I'm a strong believer that the earlier you learn the better. However, it is also never too late to learn as well and so I encourage anyone to download and check out the course. No prior knowledge is necessary!

Description

Hey! Thanks for checking out my course! If you've been hearing about the stock market and the countless opportunities to invest and want to start investing for yourself, you've come to the right place! I've been investing since I was 10 as a hobby, and a couple of years ago I started managing my mom's Roth IRA for her in addition to my own account. I've been doing pretty well and thought I would try  to share what I've learned with others in hopes of instilling in them the same passion for finance and investments that I have. I was lucky enough to be exposed to the stock market at a young age, and I strongly believe that the sooner you learn about it, the more power you hold in controlling your own financial future and making a positive impact on others. I created this to be an easy-to-follow course that should help start anyone off on their investing journey. Please keep in mind that this course is meant to be an introduction to stocks and options, so it will not cover other derivatives, commodities, inverse securities, etc. I strongly encourage using this course as a foundation from which you build your own experiences and do your own research, because everyone's goals and aspirations are different, and it's up to us to see how investments can help us reach them. Hopefully you find it helpful!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who is looking for an entry level course into the world of investing in the stock market is welcome to join the course!
