Very easy to understand the lecturer, he was very clear and organized in communication.

great course It was very easy to understand and has a lot of good information.I would recoment this to anyone interested in the Financial market.Only downside is that some of the videoes have sound issues, nothing major but a bit annoying that there is a buzzing sound while he is talking.

economic indicators

A bit of more depth and rigor in the economic indicators part would have been better.

My favorite component of this course was being introduced to various economic indicators as well as what their results may suggest about the direction of the economy and why investors use then as tools.

A really good course to know the basics of Financial Markets and how economic indicators affect it.

From basic definitions of terms such as equity to prediction of stocks, bonds, currencies using economic indicators this course has it all.
