Investing In Stocks The Complete Course! (14 Hour)

More students (154,000+) have joined this most complete stock market investing course than any other on on Udemy. Read on to find out the top 3 reasons why.

#1 New lessons and updates occur monthly so your course grows with you for free. Here is an example of some:

  • November 2021 Creating A Custom Screen Stock Screener (Updated)

  • October 2021: Comparing Stocks Against Each Other Demonstration (New)

  • September 2021: Downloadable Spreadsheet For Comparing Stocks (Updated)

  • August 2021: Direct Listing (DLP) Of A Private Company Being Listed On A Stock Exchange For The First Time Stock (New)​

- Carena K

#2 Complete course with many excellent lessons covering all areas of stock market investing. Go from a beginner or intermediate level investor to an expert at your own pace, all in one course. Gain confidence, avoid mistakes, and set yourself up for success. Many areas covered from investing in growth stocks, dividend stocks, value stocks to investing in individual stocks to mutual funds and ETF to investing using fundamental and technical analyses it is all here in this one comprehensive course. No need to spend extra money piecing together multiple courses.

Very concise and to the point. Easy to understand. I wish I would have spent my college tuition on Steve's courses instead."

-Adam O

#3 The actual instructor answers The unfortunate truth is that on Udemy most instructors do not answer questions at all even though Udemy provides a spot in the course for that. How disappointing. Other instructors have a "Team" that is really a low cost outsource provider who answers questions and provides general 1 or 2 sentence answers, if that. What a rip off. The instructor in this course answers all questions with detailed responses and provides supplemental links and resources to support the answer. Many students like to go though and read the Q&A and consider it like a blog that really aids learning on its own.

"Steve has never disappointed me. I love all his courses. And love it that he answers all your questions. I’ve learned a lot from him and looking forward to learning more. He makes it easy to understand and gives you a broad understanding of the situation. I love his case study. Glad I found him. " -Thu D

    "I am really enjoying the course - for years I have wanted to learn how to pick stocks and I feel like I have finally found someone who can teach me the correct way to analyze stocks in a very clear step by step way that I can understand and apply myself - in just the first lesson, I have pulled up a couple of stocks that I was interested in and I can see that their payout ratios are at a level that are too risky for my portfolio - if it wasn't for this course, I might have invested and there is a good chance I would have ultimately lost money - very well done."-- Kathleen K

    Investing in the stock market can be fun and really fun and rewarding when you do it well. No risk to sign up and impact could be life-changing.

    What people are saying

    so far so good

    SO far so good.

    Awesome explanation with real examples So far so Good I’m leaving this rating prematurely.

    well explained First Udemy course and split up into lots of endless videos Clear and concise so far so good Excellent Teacher!

    So far so good.

    Its pretty clear SO FAR VERY BASIC NO REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OR ANALYSIS So far so good.

    L’information est bien diffusé et est accessible sur le mobile Interesting so far Real basic So far so good, everything is clearly explained.

    Thanks Al J so far so good just small issues when showing examples of him using the screeners the view is cut off a bit.

    So far so good but very early in the course.

    (for a non-commerce student like me) with the help of chart perhaps would make it more easy to consume Me ha comenzado a explicar justo en lo que quiero para empezar a generar las ganancias apropiadas y en el tiempo correcto So far so good.

    direct and simple way of explaining everything so far So far so good!

    i find the course very informative especially for someone who is new to financial markets like me This one unusually understands what he is doing unlike 99.9999% of all trader adn investor experts in the world So far so good.

    technical analysis

    The technical analysis is brief, and the instructor admits that and recommends seeking out other courses related to technical analysis (which I am).

    I personally groom more about the investment side as previously i didn't know anything about the technical analysis,ETF,mutual fund but to day I know about them as such that i can take my further steps towards in it.

    Good section on fundamental analysis (ratios) but would have like to have seen more details on technical analysis (charts).

    It covers basics so that beginners can learn, it also covers the fundamental and technical analysis part which investors can use as per their choice.

    Only technical analysis seems to not be veryhelpful.

    So to conclude its a great course to know concepts but addition of some more technical analysis could have been more beneficial.

    Barely brushes on technical analysis and daytrading.

    I am visual I have bought thist course to learn charting/technical analysis.

    Of course nothing is perfect, there was only an hour about charting/technical analysis in this course, but there was so much about long-term investments, fundamentals and trading that I simply don't care.

    Now When I pick up a business newspaper and go through it doesn't baffle me as much and it makes sense what's going on in the Market :) I Really recommend taking this course as a foundation and choosing for yourself if you want to learn the 'Fundamentals' in detail or ' Technical analysis ' as your next step.

    The only downside to me is that I wish the instructor delved further into the technical analysis aspect of trading.

    My only wishes be that there be real-world examples, like for the technical analysis section.

    Another thing is the instructor briefly goes into cryptocurrency in the technical analysis chapter with the candlestick charts, but does not introduce it or does not even mention it.

    One might need complementary books or courses for more in-depth knowledge in fundamentals and technical analysis.

    I am looking forward to completing the second half of the course.

    All this Jargon is easy to look up over the internet, what I was looking forward to was to understand most of these efficiency ratios and parameters in the context of peer stocks.

    I am really looking forward to the rest of this course!!

    Looking forward to starting my investing path and learning more.

    mutual funds

    This course is great for those who are new to making investments (stocks/mutual funds) and covers a great deal of topics relatable to all sorts of investment types.

    Provides basic tools suck as rations for analytics equities, ETFs, and mutual funds.

    I learned reliable information, and I feel confident in my ability to get started in buying stocks, mutual funds, and index funds.

    I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who desires to invest in stocks, mutual funds and etfs.

    Most importantly, this course is a material that I will keep for future references on each topic: growth stocks, ETFs, mutual funds etc.

    I am very new to investing in general and to be frank I didn't even know what an ETF is or what mutual funds really are before I took this course.

    The professor is more of a "safe" investor in that he leans more towards mutual funds, dividend paying stocks, value stocks and if that's not your investing style then you might get a bit annoyed.

    Covers stock, Mutual funds, ETFs and Taxes.

    Ever feel confused about the myriad of investment choices - stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs ... and the list goes on?

    I really enjoy the little demos where he goes into Vanguard and discusses some of the topics that he mentions in the lecture videos when searching for Stocks/Mutual funds etc.

    Was able to understand my 401k investments during one of the classes on mutual funds.

    I was expecting to know about questions like: What is stocks, equity,mutual funds, etfs etc..

    long term

    A great course for anybody who are considering baying stocks as a short or long term investment.

    It's great to learn the basics of investing and the history of the stock market so you can adjust your expectations in the short term and think more long term.

    This is a great entry level course to build your understanding of how stocks work, how to analyze them and understand how to build a portfolio that suits your long term goals.

    After taking this course, I can now look at different stocks and analyze price ratios to determine * What stocks can fetch more money * What stocks are more stable and will provide long term dividends * What stocks are risky with potential short term gains It would be nice to see the course ending with how Options, and Futures are compared to Stocks.

    But I had to reinforce myself to know that this is what I signed up for and wanted to become an educated investor for the long term.

    All topics are mentioned from an emotional point of view, trading, gambling and even some technical analysis....very comprehensive if you want to invest in the long term but you will need some in depth knowledge if you want to start swing trading....highly recommended to understand all concepts as a whole.

    as well as long term established stocks like Coca Cola and GE.

    Primarily focused on dividend company's and long term stocks.

    The subject matter is great for those looking to get into long term investing.

    charisma Learned about the money chimp calculators also not selling a dream made me realise that it is a long term investment and not a get rich quick method.

    Very interesting To early to decide comment I learned how portfolio investing can increases long term savings Calculator should be available foraaaaaa use Easy explanation Instructor’s ideas are well presented.

    case studies

    Following case studies and demonstrations of how to navigate some websites is good, coz it is easy to miss a step.

    Very engaged teacher, passionate, well thought-through agenda, great case studies to show real world examples, also some humour in there and humanity where the teacher shares stories about himself.

    Some things to improve are: more real world example of stocks, animations, case studies.

    Where the course could be improved would be to add more case studies, examples, and stock analysis resources.

    Was expecting fundamental analysis in more detail along with case studies overall satisfactory with course content Thank You!

    In addition, all discussed case studies through out the class helped to make more logical and rational screening/decision making about my investment goals rather than emotional ones.

    Very good teacher, live demos, examples and case studies.

    The course is detailed and well laid out, and I enjoyed the instructor on a personal level.

    :) The course is laid out very nicely and Steve goes in depth on the content.

    It is clearly laid out and systematic and concepts are presented in a simplified language that is easy to understand.
