The Stock Market course is a comprehensive course to teach you to become a successful private investor. It is suitable for novices as well as experienced investors. You do not need previous experience or an accounting background to complete this course. Even seasoned investors will benefit by doing this course as it might teach you something new or at the very least remind you of certain principles that often are neglected during investing. There is a certain level of work ethic required to complete this course, as there is to succeed in the stock market. By reading this, you have already shown an interest to become financially independent.

The curriculum covers everything you need to know to invest successfully over the long term. It includes factors in the wider economy that will influence the interest rate cycle and therefore the investment cycle. This is known as macro fundamental factors.

On the micro side, it will explain the analysis and interpretation of financial statements. Eventually this will lead to individual stock selection and valuations. As well portfolio structuring with a focus on diversification and on when to sell.

It furthermore includes topics aimed on debunking common investment myths. Topics on how to avoid common mistakes. And topics on the art of contrarian investing.

This is not a course for the speculator or short-term trader, but is focused primarily on the long-term investor searching for financial independence. We cannot guarantee that you will become a successful long-term investor after having completed this course, but you will definitely become a better investor if you follow the principles laid out. Although these principles should help you, eventual investment success will also depend on your psychological make-up. It is never easy to question the majority and all successful investors tend to be, to a more or lesser extent, contrarians.
