Questions we consider in this first course: How diversified is your portfolio? Is your portfolio protected from the downside shocks that may hit it in the future? If you don't own stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, precious metals and a little cash, you aren't nearly diversified enough.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
Every strategic portfolio needs a solid base. The strength of your base will determine just how successful your portfolio is going to be. One of the easiest ways to build a solid base is to use exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs put the power of diversification and cost control in the palm of your hand. Plus, thanks to the explosion of these funds in the industry, you can find an ETF for just about anything these days.
This course teaches you how to find stock and bond funds. We also explore other ways to diversify your portfolio, such as through real estate, commodity and even cash funds.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
Individual equities, because they don't provide instant diversification, typically have more upside potential than ETFs. Of course, that increased potential comes with increased risk as well, but if you're looking for growth, individual equities can work well for you — as long as you know what you're doing. This course will teach you how to analyze revenue and earnings per share, ways to assess management performance and understanding how Wall Street evaluates and affects stock prices. We finish with a review of relative strength and sector (or "top down") analysis.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
Once you have built your base, this course helps you understand how to manage your base. In this course we cover position sizing, stop loss orders, scheduled rebalancing and dollar cost average. All great ways to tend to your investing garden.
Diversification doesn't do you much good unless your money is thoughtfully distributed across those various investments. Putting 90 percent of your money in one investment and the other 10 percent in your remaining investments won't do you much good. We start this course by helping you understand the benefits of position sizing.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
Once you have established a strong foundation for your portfolio, you can start to put it to work for you with dividend payments. Whether you are looking to fund your retirement, pay for a child's education or simply provide a little extra spending cash, dividends provide great way to generate income. This course helps investors understand dividend yields, how to search for dividends and when to combine dividends with your growth strategy.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
If you’ve never traded options before and don’t know much about them, this course will be a great introduction for you. Options are a highly effective trading tool that provide a tremendous amount of flexibility and opportunity for your portfolio... if you know how to use them appropriately. That's why it's important for us to learn how options are created and the difference between a call option and a put option. we also cover how to determine how 'risky' an option is, what is driving the value of the option and how to read an option chain sheet.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
This course starts with a review the basics of long call and put options to ensure you can make well-informed trading decisions. We make sure you understand how to determine your strike prices and exercise dates for various long call or long put buying decisions. By the end of the course you'll be posting option trading ideas for your instructor to review.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
Sometimes the best way to accelerate portfolio growth is to prevent losses from occurring in the first place. So how do you protect positions in your portfolio using options? The answer: you buy protective puts. In this course we learn how to buy protective puts and, much like the last course on put and call options, we talk about choosing expiration dates and strike prices that are optimal for your strategy. By the end of the course you will be expected to publish a protective put trade idea either for your instructor or for the community.
The following comprehensive lessons are included in this course:
When we wanted to search for stocks we were frustrated that no screening tool offered what we were looking for. So we built our own. Finally, a tool that helps you find good trading opportunities every day.
Our top analysts create prebuilt stocks screens just for you. All you have to do is push a button to find "Buyback Kings," or "Stocks Likely to Do Well with Falling Interest Rates," or "Small Caps on the Rise."
