Investing Explained: The Beginner’s Complete Guide

Get Instant Access to the 3 Part Investing Course

When I was in high school with no stock market knowledge, I googled “how to invest” expecting dozens of comprehensive guides with applicable and actionable advice on getting started from scratch. But that’s not what I found. All of the guides were either click bait Youtube videos from “get rich quick” internet traders or boring and lengthy courses from big banks teaching about irrelevant topics that no investor really cares about, let alone beginners. This course will not be like that. In this course, I have compiled information from videos, podcasts, television, books, ebooks, newsletters, and real-world trial and error experience to bring you a start to finish series: Investing Explained: The Beginner’s Complete Guide. I teach you everything you need to know, and nothing you don’t.

I enrolled in the JIC course to have a better understanding of what it means to invest as I had very minimal knowledge of it. I am very impressed with the depth of the content delivered by Jacob's classes. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone with experience, these classes have something very valuable to offer. In my case, I was able to learn a solid foundation in investment principles. The lessons are well-structured and very explanatory, which was a very important factor for me when the classes became more detailed. Jacob does a great job with the progression of the levels of information provided and makes learning investing not just possible but also interesting. I would recommend this course to anyone that is interested in gaining a solid understanding of investing principles and strategies.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jacob Peifer. I am a college student with a passion for investing and investing education for beginners. Throughout high school and college, I taught myself how to invest through every kind of financial education media I could get my hands on, from videos and podcasts to books and newsletters. Since then, I have invested my own money into the stock market and found great personal success.

Although I am successfully self taught, I want to help beginning investors avoid the inefficient process of compiling information from dozens of different sources and sifting through irrelevant information. I created Jacob’s Investing Center and the Investing Explained: The Beginner’s Complete Guide to function as the comprehensive, concise, and actionable guide that I wish I had when I was beginning my investment education journey.

Where We Bring Value

For Individual Investors

  • Actionable. Concise. Comprehensive.

    With an average video length of 2 minutes, this is a course made to match your pace and fit into your busy schedule. Unlike other courses, I don’t skip over vital topics or cover irrelevant information, but rather teach the essential information efficiently with a clear path to real world implementation.

  • A Course That Is Actually For Beginners

    This course assumes no prior experience with investments, beginning with an introduction of the most basic elements of stock market investing and then building upon this foundation. I split content across 3 unique parts “The Essentials”, “Creating Your Account” , and “Advanced Topics” to help you receive the lessons best suited for you.

For Schools

  • Build the Foundation of Financial Literacy
    Provide factual content tailored to prepare students to invest in the real world. Students will be better informed and prepared for the real world equipped with knowledge of investing fundamentals.
  • Differentiate Your Curriculum
    Less than a quarter of high school are guaranteed personal finance education. Students are either going without this crucial content or being misinformed on social media. Set your school apart by offering this important but often neglected information to your students.

For Businesses

  • Offer Curated Education at Your Client’s Pace

    Advisors can recommend specific videos, modules, or parts of the course according to client questions and interests. Clients then learn on their own schedule without the advisor having to be present, saving company time and resources.

  • A More Educated Clientele

    A commitment to client education strengthens trust and helps clients grow as investors. Educated clients may be more likely to make additional investments and prospects may be attracted to the firm.
