Imagine if there was a core set of concepts that could greatly impact the average person's life, but the average person was never given the opportunity to learn about them. For many, this is the reality of financial literacy. The average school doesn't teach it, and if it does, it is usually glossed over as a secondary, "throwaway" class. Lots of parents don't teach it because they never learned the concepts themselves. Expecting the average person to teach themselves can be somewhat unfair because the concepts can be complicated, verbose, and overwhelming. Thus why so few people actually learn about how investment actually works.

If you are reading this, you likely find yourself in a position where to lack certain knowledge that you feel you should have. If that's the case, we have two truths that we hope you find encouraging. The first is that you are the type of person who will not be deterred. You have clearly taken it upon yourself to learn these concepts, regardless of your incentive. The second is that we are here to make this as easy as possible. We aim to use relatable ideas, simplistic language, and a casual conversational style of delivery to make these "boring, convoluted' ideas more palatable and easily consumable. Thus, your ambitious determination combined with our emphasis on easy learning should result in you not only learning this stuff but mastering it... and doing so relatively quickly.

Throughout the class, we hope to demystify the core concepts of investment, touching upon everything from basic investment theory to insider trading. This comprehensive course covers everything a beginner needs to know about the fundamentals of investment and so much more.

This mega-course combines four of our most popular classes into a powerhouse package that will take the average student who knows nothing and give them enough knowledge to have intelligent conversations on financial topics. More so, they will be able to make informed, wise decisions when it comes to their money, and they will understand the potential and considerations that come with investment. This super-course will address all of the following concepts:

Standard Investment: Market capitalization; volatility; commodities; brokerage accounts; the difference between market orders, limit orders, and stop orders; dividends; stocks vs. bonds, investing vs. gambling; diversification; why companies sell stock; how bull markets and bear markets differ; derivatives; options vs. futures; short selling; bankruptcy and how it affects investment; preferred vs. common shares; different classes of stock; hostile takeovers; comparing NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC Markets; the SEC; insider trading, penny stocks, the connection between inflation and investment;  investment funds; how mutual funds, hedge funds, index funds all differ; types of mutual funds; different investment style; fundamental vs technical analysis; how to use style boxes; ETFs; using leverage; buying 'on margin';  how to find worthwhile companies to invest in.

Newer Investments: how cryptocurrency differs from traditional currency; blockchain technology explained; using consensus mechanisms; speculative investment; the difference between 'true value' and 'perceived value'; how to guarantee authenticity, what exactly NFTs are; the dangers involved with modern investments; how NFTs compare to art; arguments for and against modern investment options.

Our goal is to hand you the keys to the 'financial world' so you aren't bogged down by complex terminology and dry explanations that seem to confuse ideas even further. You will walk away with insight and understanding that the average person, unfortunately, doesn't have. But now you will have it. Which places you in an advantageous position.

It is said that wealthy people learn how money works and poor people do not. That statement is an oversimplification, of course. But knowing how "money works" empowers you with the knowledge of how to make your money work. That sort of information is priceless... and as you'll soon see, incredibly profitable.
