Passive and Active Investing in Stocks, Bonds and Gold. Grow your Wealth by Investing in a well Diversified Portfolio.

Created by: Mohsen Hassan

Last updated September 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 12,874 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Mohsen Hassan's course is a beginner's map of investing. It spends about 11.7 hours and 83 lectures on stocks, bonds, gold, ETFs, index funds and mutual funds, then moves on to building portfolios, from a basic all-stock one to traditional and modern mixes. Nearly 72,000 students have enrolled. There are no quizzes or coding exercises, so it is all watching and listening. The syllabus shows the biggest blocks are portfolio building, the basic all-stock portfolio and stocks themselves, plus a live section where a portfolio is bought with real money.

Reviewers keep praising the pace. People starting from zero say the lessons are easy to follow, that Mohsen stays on topic and keeps his personal opinions out of it, and that the live demo helps. One calls it a great foundation. The complaints are consistent too. Two reviewers found it too high level and generic, with one calling it slow and the other saying it mostly covers common sense. One three-star reviewer wanted more on choosing a brokerage platform, asset allocation ETFs and self-balancing portfolios.

The ratings lean strongly positive. Of 12,874 ratings, 8,395 are five stars, against 59 one-star and 100 two-star. The course was last updated in September 2025, which is recent enough for a topic that mostly stays put. Treat it as a first course, not a last one. Beginners get a clear start and a sense of what to study next. Anyone hungry for technical detail may find it too light.

Best forComplete beginners who want stocks, bonds and funds explained slowly, plus a live portfolio build.
Skip it ifYou already know the basics and want technical depth on asset allocation or picking a broker.

Pros

  • Easy pace that reviewers say suits people who knew nothing about investing
  • Covers stocks, bonds, gold, ETFs, index funds and mutual funds in one place
  • Live section builds and buys a real portfolio, which reviewers like
  • Instructor keeps personal bias out and gives honest takes on risk versus reward

Cons

  • Some reviewers find it too high level, generic and slow if they want technical content
  • One reviewer reports thin spots: brokerage selection, asset allocation ETFs, self-balancing portfolios
  • No quizzes, exercises or practice tests, so it is watch-only
Since I did not know even the basics of how to invest, this easy-paced and very well explained course helped a lot.

Course Description

By the end of this course you will be able to start your investing journey and start growing your wealth.

You'll start off by learning everything about the different investment products (Stocks, Bonds and even commodities like Gold).

Once you completely understand these products, you will learn about the different investment vehicles (so you can invest in these products).

You will learn about investing directly in the products you want to buy, or by using investment vehicles like ETFs, Index Funds and Mutual Funds.

You'll understand the importance of diversification, and how you can diversify not only across stocks but even across different asset classes.

We'll cover ways of investing that are completely passive (where you don't have to do anything but just invest a little bit of your capital on a regular basis) vs more active investing techniques (where you make decisions about your investment products and use advanced portfolio management techniques like portfolio rebalancing, tactical asset allocation and much more).

We'll learn about charting, brokerage accounts and how you can choose and open an account. We'll go over different portfolios, from basic portfolios to modern portfolios (based on the portfolios of the biggest investment firms in the world). We'll even build a portfolio together and buy it with real money!

And there is so much more.

So register now and see you inside the course!

Thanks to instructor for effort. Course gave as intented a understandable and effective insight for investing. I also like small tip about managment of money and expenses, in addition i liked how intructor always tried to give honest opinion about risk vs reward of tranding (speculation)

By Mohammed Najeeb on 9/3/2026

Amazing! Wondering how could some people rate this course less than 5 stars! It’s super interesting and comprehensive and you can start right away investing ( not trading) following this course! Not only that it can represent a reference for you whenever you want to invest! I used to always hear about stocks and investments but never connected the dots. After this course i am super clear and it put me on the right path for further learning. The course is very structured from history to all what you need to know about stocks

By Wendy Sandoval on 7/24/2026

This course is good for beginners. I definitely learned a lot through the course. There is a lot of information, especially for me since I did not have a clue about this topic. I look forward to more courses with this instructor. He is engaging and stays on topic. I know there is much more information, but he was very good at keeping it simple, as this course could have been months long with everything he spoke about. Amazing job, Mohsen!

By Janet on 6/10/2026

Since I did not know even the basics of how to invest, this easy-paced and very well explained course helped a lot. The instructor is very knowledgeable, but he kept his personal biases out of his lessons. That is very much appreciated.

By Maria Thompson on 4/11/2026

This is a course for when you are starting from zero. A lot of good information. I would like to see an advance course related to this and focused on investing putting all theory we learned here into practice. thanks!

By Yohannes Tseggay Berhe on 2/16/2026

This is a truly comprehensive course, and Mohsen Hassan’s excellent presentation style makes every concept smooth and easy to understand. Dear Mohsen Hassan, thank you so much for the clarity and dedication you put into this material. This course is genuinely suitable for all ages—everyone can benefit from it. I have worked in Finance and Accounting for years, yet this course has illuminated areas far beyond what I previously believed and understood. It has expanded my perspective in a meaningful way.

By Anonymized User on 2/13/2026

Nem értem miért indul az alapoktól, amikor az előzmény tanfolyamok már haladó szintűek voltak. Eddig még nem hallottam új információt. Amikor az ETF-ekről és befektetési alapokról kezd beszélni, onnan válik érdekessé (számomra)

By Mishi Abolghasem on 2/4/2026

This course delivered what I was expected. It gave me a thorough understanding of the subject matter. Instructor is the master of the field. Lots of personal insights. Topics are organized very well.

By Ruben Alejandro on 1/25/2026

If you are new to the world of stocks and bonds, this is the one for you. It´s the perfect course for starting off with investing and building a solid knowledge base. Highly recommended!

By Miguel Batalha on 12/28/2025

I expected we would spend more time in practical topics: actual investment, how to measure them, difference between brokerage account and recommendations on how to invest.
