Students are Saying...

As a finance student, I owned some preliminary knowledge regarding markets and investing. However, I wanted to learn various investment methods and techniques that school could never teach me. Investopedia Academy’s Research and Trade Like course taught me how to analyze companies and currencies on a professional level. I definitely have a better understanding of how elite hedge fund managers invest.

As someone who has a passion for the markets, Research and Trade Like was the perfect course to progress my learnings. The Scorecard system enabled me to have a better view of the markets and a have more professional approach to my investing strategy.

Khashayar Yazdanbakhsh

I learned so much from this course. As an economics student, the way James and Lex broke down Research and Trade Like helped to expand my knowledge and better understand how the market plays out. I am definitely incorporating their strategies into my own investments. I also loved the written out definitions.
