Informational
Even if you are not a newbie to the stock market I believe that you can learn something from these lectures. He is very concise with his words and It never hurts to review information you may already know. This course is definitely tailored toward beginners but honestly has a lot of useful information for just knowledge sake.

Great for Novices
I realized right away that this course is for complete newbies to stock investing but there’s always something to learn. There’s some good information about index & mutual funds as well as ETFs. And in order to give it a fair hearing I went through the whole course. Professor DeGennaro keeps it down to earth and clear. The presentation is mildly amusing and non-threatening.
