Own a portion of a company by purchasing stocks issued and traded on exchanges; your ownership percent equals your shares over total shares, while personal assets stay protected in bankruptcy.
Learn how to buy stocks via brokers on exchanges such as NASDAQ or the NYSE, using banks or broker apps, with order execution and confirmations.
Explore investment fundamentals tied to stock ownership, portfolio construction, and profit potential. Set clear investment goals and weigh risk versus reward as you prepare to analyze stock data with Python.
Build a diversified stock portfolio across sectors. Understand strategies to balance defensive, blue-chip, and growth stocks to avoid concentration risk.
Explore risk versus reward in stock investing with Python analysis of mean value and standard deviation. Compare volatility and returns across stocks, like Tesla, Amazon, and Google.
Learn how to buy Bitcoin and transfer it to your own wallet using Electrum and Coinbase, with a focus on creating a secure seed phrase and password.
Explore the differences between hot and cold wallets and compare hardware, desktop, mobile, and web-based wallets, including offline storage on usb sticks and online risks.
Learn the fundamentals of Python variables, data types (integers, booleans, strings, lists/dictionaries), and printing. Build and display dynamic statements by concatenating strings and numbers, and update values as programs run.
Explore lists in Python by creating empty lists, adding values, removing items, counting elements, and measuring the list length with examples like 21 and 22.
Explore selection and conditional statements in Python by writing if and else blocks that evaluate conditions like less than four or equals four to control output.
Explore iteration in Python by looping over ranges and lists, using for i in range(1,21) and for i in my_list, printing statements to show how code runs through each element.
Fetch your first stock data using Python by setting up an Anaconda environment, installing Yahoo Finance, and loading Apple and Shaoping data into a Jupyter notebook.
Explore stock performance frequency by plotting the percentage change using a histogram, comparing Google and Apple, dropping missing values, and interpreting how volatility shifts over time.
Format stock data in Excel by converting text to currency, creating a sortable table with charts, applying conditional formatting to volume, and using formulas to compute averages.
Learn Python code tips and tricks for improving performance with parallel execution using threads, simple web scraping with requests, and readable numeric output with f-strings and rounding.
