By Alessandro on 8/4/2026

This course is clear, well-structured, and, in my opinion, one of the most comprehensive courses on Udemy considering its price-to-value ratio. It provides an excellent foundation for long-term investing and, at times, goes into greater detail on specific topics while still remaining beginner-friendly. In addition, Arnold introduces several useful tools that can be used to support investment decisions and even shares some of his own tools with students. Overall, this is a great introductory course that covers most of the main investment strategies without diving too deeply into the more advanced and highly technical aspects. After completing this course, I believe beginners will have enough knowledge and confidence to start investing in the market. One of its strongest points is that it teaches the fundamental concepts needed to understand how financial markets work and how to analyze assets using different approaches and methods. I highly recommend this course to anyone who, like me, is a beginner in investing and wants a solid starting point. The reason I am not giving this course 5 stars is that I think it could have benefited from a section covering how investment taxes work in Europe. That said, tax-related information is generally easy to find online or by other means, and I understand that creating lessons on taxation across Europe is not a simple task, especially since every country has its own tax laws and regulations. In Italy, for example, the tax system can be particularly challenging, harsh and complex, unfortunately something I know from personal experience. Even so, I believe this is an area where the course could be improved. Despite that, it remains an excellent course and one that I would definitely recommend to other beginners

It approaches a lot of concepts that I need to clarify. It explaines metodologies to analyse data and what that mean, given always the right disclaimers.

By Poonam on 11/26/2025

I have done 15% of the course so far and love it! He explains everything in a simple way but still thoroughly. As a complete beginner, I like that he repeats important concepts over and over again. It helps solidify tougher concepts.

By Michael Edward Hanson on 1/12/2025

This was a great intro for me into the world of investing, etc. and it got me on the path to learning in other ways and even starting my journey. Thanks!

By Yulia Ivanova on 1/8/2025

I clearly understand everything even with my level of English, and I like how the teacher explains. I thought it will be difficult course but it’s more fun

By Oren Sadeh-Leicht on 12/1/2024

A very comprehensive course. Lots of good information and broad analyses. The tutor answers questions. The only problem is that sometimes the slides are in German and there are English typos. But that is negligible. Definitely down to earth course.

By Ivan Kutsenka on 11/26/2024

Great course. Lots of useful information, clear speech, understandable examples. I took off half a point because there was a little bit of redundancy in some places.

By Steven Vrecic on 6/27/2024

Extremely informative thus far - I'm building on my knowledge base, but also can't wait to get into the nitty gritty of the course later on.

By Oluwatosin Amosu on 6/13/2024

Arnie is a great tutor. His ability to break complex topic, his confidence and how he introduce every pieces of information is truly amazing. I'm 100% Satisfied and will pay more for this course.
