PrimeCharts - An Introduction to Investing  

Getting Started

Today, there are a host of different investment opportunities available to the public through their local stock exchange or even through the many other exchanges around the world. Once you have completed this course, you will understand:

This course consists of a Glossary of stock market terms, followed by seven lessons, written in an easy to understand, user-friendly way. Each Lesson will cover one or more subjects. The page What You will Learn in the Course lists what each lesson covers.

To maximize your learning experience, you should initially read through the Glossary. In it you will find many strange terms, some of which you may never personally encounter. Trying to memorize all the terms is not necessary, just knowing where to turn to, should you need to check something is sufficient.

Lesson 1

Next start with Lesson 1. Each lecture should take about thirty to forty-five minutes to work through, although it is recommended that you re-read through each lecture until you have thoroughly grasped the principles at hand. Once you have mastered the contents of a lecture, proceed to the next. Although the lectures have been presented in a logical progressive sequence, each is complete in itself, and within reason, can be done in any order.

Correspondence Course

If you wish to do this course using the "correspondence course” concept, then obtain the PDF copies of each lesson (To obtain this as a PDF document click here) and after completing each one, test your knowledge by answering all the questions for that lesson (only the PDF copies contain the Lesson Questions). You can then assess your progress by comparing your answers with the “model” answers for that lesson.
