The course is not current. Current tools are very basic or not really relevant. Waste of time.

This course was great in that it provided food for thought on websites and applications which are out there, that had not even crossed my mind. One of the challenges I have as an investor, is negotiating through the spam and online adverts to find the things that really matter. What this means is that I am overly cautious about what to trust, so would rather avoid. Its great that you talked through some of them.

Thank you Joe Marwood for a great course! Joe provides a great “how-to” on a whole array of investment tools. He visits a number of websites and explains how you can use them and get the most from them. He opened avenues that I never knew existed. I learned a lot from this course and hope it helps my investing. Thank you again Joe.

This is a useful summary of helpful web tools for personal trading and investments. Each web tool is described in a quick, to the point summary of about 3 minutes. It doesn't really go into any great depth but it highlights what most traders / investors would find useful about that particular web tool.

Because I have been shown things that I wasn't aware of before and which I am sure I will find very useful. Brilliant. Thank you. Didn't even know many of these resources existed and its like being given a short cut to expedite learning in this field. Thank you.

Specific to US market,i was in search of tools and screens for Indian market. Anyways the whole lecture was good and it is a 1 time watch for everyone.

Information that may have surely escaped most novice traders or may never have reached or interested the uninformed is shared plainly and described fully. JB Marwood is doing something different and exciting for new traders. Thank you so much.

This course presents an introduction to various toolsets available on the internet. I think I benefited the most from the lecture on FinViz.com. A future idea may be to do a course on using data from the various tools you described and apply it in a strategy via your broker accounts (i.e. IG or IB) so that the student can visually learn and practice.

This could save hundreds – maybe thousands – of dollars in subscriptions to useless trading products. Why pay over the moon for rip-off trading services when there are much better, free options available? The instructor is also quick to answer any trading related question.
