Money, Markets, and Thinking Like an Owner
A complete, step-by-step personal finance and investing course for students — money habits, earning, spending, saving, credit, investing, charts, financial reports, and protecting what you build. Every lesson in order, with activities and scored quizzes.

How the course works
- Pick your band and enroll — $299 for one year of access to that band's complete course. Each band is a separate enrolment.
- Learn step by step — lessons in a fixed order across 8 units and a capstone, each with a worked example and a hands-on activity using real public filings (SEC 13F reports and congressional STOCK Act disclosures, presented neutrally).
- Check yourself — a scored quiz closes every unit; 80% is the passing mark, and retakes are unlimited.
- Finish with a capstone — a complete personal financial plan and investment thesis, graded against a published rubric.

Unit 6 goes deep on investing: how markets work, dividends and dividend yield, stocks vs. ETFs, the commodities market, reading charts — line, candlestick, moving averages, RSI, MACD — reading company financial reports and the P/E ratio, following real 13F and STOCK Act filings, lessons from Graham, Buffett, Munger and Lynch, paper trading before any real account, and rules-based thinking and backtesting.
Safety by design: all trading inside the course is simulated; the custodial-account lesson is parent-led; no real money, brokerage account, or extra purchase is needed to complete any lesson. This course teaches how investing works — it never recommends buying or selling anything.
