Great refresher for me. I completed my finance MBA over 14 years ago and had forgotten much of it. This course helped me regain much lost knowledge

I found this course very useful to learn how to use new features in comparing stocks to sectors and indexes.

Brilliantly explained the market cycle. It's a difficult concept but well done. I was able to understand how, as an investor, I can use the knowledge of a market cycle while cooking investments to make. I was able to know what a beta is and why it is important while comparing an investment with the benchmark/the index. For example, it is clear that low better sectors tend to do well when investors are pessimistic about the market and high better sectors tend to do well while the economy is doing well (investors are optimistic about the market as a whole).

Great introduction to the markets. I was really interested in understanding how important each item of the Balance Sheet and Income Statements were but unfortunately I feel like the course fell short there. Instead, only descriptions of the items were given, but not examples or importance.

The course was informative and useful. However I don't like having to go off site to build spreadsheets for assignments. If I were on my phone if would have been much harder to perform the work needed to complete lessons.

Good introduction to equities; but unfortunately doesn't cover valuation methods like P/E ratios and DCF.

I would give 80-85/100 rating. The course is complete while more detailed information is still needed.

It was too easy. The course needs to focus on the IBKR interface.

The link for some 'Fundamental Definitions' is broken in the FUndamentals of Equities course. I was making good progress and now I am stalled and time is wasting away. Alex.Zanders 952.353.6944

The course offered little value, as it did not provide potential investors enough usable information to make investment decisions. It was largely an ad for a trading platform.

Seems like mostly a pitch for an investment platform than for learning about investing

I found this course a waste of time. It is an advertisement rather than a learning course!!! The videos are fast and do not highlight important content. The most useful part is the links they offer that talk about the basics, which you can easily google. My only motivation to finish this course is to give a one-star rate!

A course where the main focus lies on advertising their trading platform. 20% of the course is about the trading platform, 40% of the course is links to reading materials not prepared by them. You can finish the course in around 2 hours if you are not interested in their trading platform.
