Other | Registration opens 2/25/2026 9:00 AM

This course is designed to address both beginners and more knowledgeable investors. The first half of each class will focus on learning the principles of investing in the stock market. The second half will focus on analyzing individual stocks. The instructor will present material utilizing current market examples, and the class as a team will select stocks to “paper trade” with no money involved. Selections will be real market stocks in real time, with the focus of learning when to buy and sell investments for maximum profit.

Recommended Reading: William J. O’Neil’s book How to Make Money in Stocks and Jack D. Schwager’s book Getting Started in Technical Analysis.
