You may have some prior investing experience, but may have felt unsure about what to do after your stocks went up by 50%, took a -40% dive, or moved sideways for months on end. Time to buy more? Sit still? Sell? Who can tell?

You are still interested in investing in individual stocks, but you first want to find a way how to harness yourself against making bad investment decisions again in the future.

You are looking for ways to make your money work for you at above-market average returns.

You don't mind having a long-term horizon (3+ years at least) and you are not looking for quick wins.

You can handle the tradeoff between long-term outsized winners versus high, short-term stock price volatility.

You are willing to commit and do the work (it's not difficult but it does require time and effort).

You prefer buying etf's, bonds or mutual funds, or just leaving your money sit in your savings account. No judgment - to each their own, but you won't find what you're looking for here.

You like trading in and out of stocks on a regular basis. This investing course probably won't resonate well with you as I'm a long-term investor. My aim is to stay invested for 3-5 years minimum, but preferably much longer (10+ years).

You're looking for passive income in the form of regular dividend paying stocks. While some of the stocks I'm interested in may be paying out dividends, it's not my goal to chase after them when investing.
