Description

Hi All,

Why should you choose my course and who is it for?

My course is aimed for finance newbies who want to start investing their hard-earned money but are not quite sure if they should invest in the first place and how to do it.

I will walk you through the basics you need to know to get started. I am keeping the presentation very simple and to the point, avoiding unnecessary complex concepts which are irrelevant.

Below is a summary of what my course covers;

· What actually is a Stock? How do they work, what do they represent and how I can buy them?

· What’s the deal with ETF’s and Mutual funds, are they better than stocks, what are their advantages?

· Inflation, the silent Killer. I will explain what it is, why it is crucial to do better than inflation and lastly how you can do that!

· I will keep the math part to a minimum, but the two crucial investing concepts of diversification and dollar cost averaging are Key! So, I will break them down for you.

· I will walk you through the main types of accounts, such as 401K, Roth and Brokerage. I will explain what each one is for and the Taxman’s role in each of them.

· Lastly, I will prepare you to walk the talk, open a brokerage account, explain what a robo-advisor does and where you can find out more about ETFs.

Why should you even listen to me?

I have a Bachelor and Masters in Finance and have spent the last 10+ years in the Finance industry across 3 Countries. I have also been investing since forever and I am genuinely passionate about this.

This and much more awaits you, completely free and all that is required from you is some of your time.

Sounds like a deal to me.
