Great course. Very concise and to the point. Easy to understand. I wish I would have spent my college tuition on Steve's courses instead." -Adam O


#3 You can ask questions in the Q&A area and they will be answered. The unfortunate truth is that on Udemy most instructors do not answer questions at all even though Udemy provides a spot in the course for that. How disappointing. Many students like to go though and read the Q&A and consider it like a blog that really aids learning on its own.

"Steve has never disappointed me! I love all his courses. And love it that he answers all your questions. I’ve learned a lot from him and looking forward to learning more. He makes it easy to understand and gives you a broad understanding of the situation. I love his case study. Glad I found him!"  Thu D

"I am really enjoying the course , for years I have wanted to learn how to pick stocks and I feel like I have finally found someone who can teach me the correct way to analyze stocks in a very clear step by step way that I can understand and apply myself - in just the first lesson, I have pulled up a couple of stocks that I was interested in and I can see that their payout ratios are at a level that are too risky for my portfolio - if it wasn't for this course, I might have invested and there is a good chance I would have ultimately lost money - very well done." Kathleen K
