I teach using lesson slides and frequently introduce questions to reinforce learner knowledge and critical thinking. There will be a case study to illustrate how to read and interpret stock movements. Although a segment of investors relies on charts and technical analysis to make their investing decisions, the case study and class provide several perspectives. My teaching philosophy is to help learners understand why the information is important and how it can be used (sometimes in multiple ways). With the knowledge from this class, learners are better prepared to research stocks and continue their studies in stock investing. Learners will benefit from my extensive working experience and educational background in the financial industry. You can find this information under the teacher expertise section below or on my profile page. A list of my Outschool classes is available towards the end of both my course and teacher intro videos.
