TOP REVIEWS FROM TRADING BASICS
A general brief about how you can make calculated and broad assumptions on the tock market. Not a specialized course but is helpful in getting the basics.
Week 1,2 and 4 very well explained
Week 3 had certain areas that could have been explained better such as the weights found in CAPM using solver
While the course provides a relevant insight into the key aspects of investments and trading, the end of week quiz does not provide a holistic representation of the topic covered in the course
The asset pricing model calculation and calculation of covariance is not explained at all which is a drawback because it is considered a beginner course
