Why should you join this class
Having basic personal financial skills is one of the most important things you can do to live a healthy, happy, and secure life.
As adults, we deal with our finances on a daily basis through questions like:
- The market is going up – should I participate?
- I have some extra money, what should I do with it?
- What’s a good interest rate and should I refinance?
- How do loans work and how much is my monthly mortgage?
Looking back, it would have been good if we would have been prepared to answer these questions since we were kids.
With that in mind, our goal is to prepare the young generation to have a better understanding of their financial life and to be intentional about their financial future.
We will talk about trading and long-term investing, portfolios, and diversification. We will cover things like interest rates, stocks, stock market, bonds, ETFs, Mutual Funds, and Hedge Funds.
The purpose of this class is to have the participants open an actual brokerage/trading account and start using financial instruments to understand how things work in real life.

When does this module start/end?
Little traders is a once-a-month year long class, starting in October, and ending in June.
-
What level of prior knowledge is required?
The class is tailored for total beginners. No prior knowledge is required.
-
What is the minimum age for this class?
This class works best for anyone between 10 and 99 years old, that has no prior knowledge of markets, investing and trading. Smart 10 year olds get quite sophisticated, as most of them got really passionate about the subject.
We've had kids as young as 6 attend this class successfully. This being said, those were exceptional cases.
-
Will you talk about mostly?
In this class, we focus mostly on stocks and investing in the stock market. Because cryptocurrencies are "the cool" asset these days, we will definitely have quite a few lessons on cryptos as well.
