Look, this is a good course and they do a pretty thorough job of explaining the basics. BUT, it is extremely basic. I mean, the 'Advanced Investing' section covers how leverage, short selling and options work. So, if you're a complete beginner, this will certainly give you a good foundation (at the discounted price, definitely not worth the full price). Then I would say that it's worth it. However, don't fool yourself (see what I did there hehe) into thinking that this will provide you with some "secret sauce" that will allow you to "beat the Street" as advertised.
