Six Questions People Ask First

The full list of 23 lives on the FAQ page.

Is StockEducation.com free?
Yes. The course, the quizzes, the simulator and the research tools are free, with no credit card and no hidden fee. A free account is only needed to save your lesson progress and your simulator holdings. Anything optional is listed on the pricing page, and nothing on the site is gated behind a purchase.
Do I need any investing experience to start?
No. Lesson 1 assumes no prior knowledge and starts with what a share actually is. Each lesson builds on the one before it, the learning path always shows you what comes next, and the quiz after each lesson tells you whether it stuck before you move on. If you already know the basics, you can jump to any module.
What will I learn?
How the stock market works, from your first share to reading a company and judging risk, plus how to use AI to do financial analysis and research faster than the old way. Every lesson sits in one learning path, in the right order, written so anyone can follow it, and it is built by a team set on making it the best free investing course there is.
How long does the course take?
Most lessons take 5 to 10 minutes and end with a short quiz, and the 10 modules can be taken at any pace. There is no deadline: do a lesson a day or a module in a weekend. Your progress is saved to your free account, so you can stop and pick up exactly where you left off.
Does the simulator use real money?
No. Every account starts with $1,000,000 of virtual cash. You buy and sell real US stocks at real prices, with data from Alpaca Markets updated during US market hours, but no money is ever deposited and nothing can be lost. It exists so you can make beginner mistakes where they cost nothing. Simulated results do not predict real returns.
Is StockEducation financial advice?
No. StockEducation explains how investing works and gives you tools to research companies yourself. It does not give stock picks, trading signals or personal financial advice, and nothing on the site is tailored to your situation, goals or tax position. If you need advice for your circumstances, speak to a licensed adviser. The site takes no money from brokers and has no affiliate links.
