Stock Market

A starting point for newcomers

This beginner stock market course explains what a stock is, how exchanges work, how the IPO process brings companies to market, and where trading differs from investing. It aims to give newcomers a clear mental model before they commit money.

Analysis and risk

The course moves on to analysing companies, reading financial reports, interpreting market news and using economic indicators to understand market movements. Risk management tools such as stop-loss orders and hedging are introduced, and a certificate is offered on completion.

• Keep a glossary of exchange and IPO terms as you go.
• Practise reading one company report using the course's approach.
• Separate trades you plan to hold from ones you plan to exit quickly.
