Investing for Beginners

Investing sounds complicated because the industry profits from making it sound that way, but the core that builds most ordinary wealth is boringly simple: own a slice of thousands of companies through low-cost index funds and hold for decades. This course explains exactly what stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, and index funds are, how compounding and fees quietly decide your outcome, and which account to open first. You finish by opening a brokerage account, choosing between named funds like VTI, VOO, and VT, placing your first order, and setting up automatic contributions you will not have to think about again.
