Welcome to Your Investing Journey
Welcome to the beginning of your journey into the fascinating world of investing and trading. As we embark on this foundational course designed for beginners, I want to share a personal reflection that I believe will resonate with many of you. When I first stepped into the trading world fresh out of college, armed with degrees in accounting and finance from New York University, and as a competitor in the Winter Olympics, I encountered an environment that was both exhilarating and daunting. The complexity and rapid pace were beyond anything my academic or Olympic experiences had prepared me for.
This course represents the culmination of over 25 years of accumulated financial wisdom and the collaborative efforts of numerous individuals over the span of a year. It stands apart from other programs by its core belief that mastering the basics merely marks the initial step in a lifelong journey. The true essence lies in cultivating a resilient and adaptable mindset, akin to the approach taken by Olympic champions who, when faced with setbacks, return to the basics and the fundamentals as a pathway to excellence.
