Free video lessons
Short, free video lessons on how the stock market works, valuing a company, trading and investor psychology, plus a step by step Excel course for investors.
StockEducation's video tutorials are free video lessons in two tracks. The investing track explains how the stock market works, the economy, value investing, company accounts, trading and investor psychology. The Excel track teaches investors to build their own spreadsheets, from the first formula to a portfolio tracker and a valuation model. No account is needed, each video page opens with a short written summary, and the first video in each topic is marked Start Here.

Yes. Every investing video and the whole Excel course are free, and you can start watching without an account.

Yes. The Excel track assumes no spreadsheet experience. It starts with how Excel works and builds up, video by video, to the valuation models professional investors use.
No. Start with the Essential Stock Market Concepts video, and use the investment glossary for any word you do not know. If you already know the basics, skip ahead to valuation, the economy or the later Excel videos.
Value investing means buying shares for less than you believe the business is really worth, its intrinsic value, and leaving a margin of safety in case you are wrong. The value investing video explains how it works.
Behavioral finance studies how emotions and mental shortcuts, such as fear, greed and following the crowd, lead investors into predictable mistakes. The psychology video covers the most common ones.
Put it to work right away. After an accounting or valuation video, open a real company's annual report and find the figures it covers. After an Excel video, build the spreadsheet yourself, then take a quiz and test your ideas in the $1M simulator.
Yes. Each video page opens with a short quick answer and an outline of the topics it covers, so you can see what a video teaches before you press play.
