Overall, this is a great introductory course. Easy to follow. The instructors are very knowledgeable about their topics. I am very satisfied with the course and will pursue more instruction from this team. Thanks.

Although this has good advice about being realistic and relying on facts instead of feelings, it actually presents little true information. It seems like it’s probably a feeder course in an attempt to make you buy their other courses. They frequently talk about having a good strategy, but don’t actually provide any strategies. They also talk about their stock simulator a few times, which is not available through this course.
