Stock Market Fundamentals

“Stock Market Fundamentals” is a 10‑hour Skillshare course by Zac Hartley, designed to teach both beginners and intermediate learners the essentials of stock trading, from market history to executing real trades.

• New investors seeking foundational knowledge
• Aspiring day/swing traders wanting structured strategies
• Those aiming for dividend investing with a long-term view
• Anyone curious about charts, order types, and financial statements

• History of stock markets
• Reading charts & types of analysis

Zac Hartley’s course stands out by blending theory with live application. The early lessons on market origins and stock types anchor novice learners, smoothly transitioning into technical tools like trendlines, stop‑losses, hotkeys, and pre/post‑market trading setups. Midway, Zac executes a trade using his framework, revealing a 44 % gain in under 10 days—tangible proof of method effectiveness. The latter half delves into fundamental investing—reading income statements, cash flows, and balance sheets for well-rounded investment decisions. Risk management and journaling recur as central themes, showing the instructor’s commitment to sustainable trading practice. Bonus features include downloadable templates, community chat access, weekly analysis, and direct communication via Discord/email. Overall, the engaging, well‑paced lessons and hands‑on approach make this an excellent starter-to-intermediate course.

This course offers a compelling mix of theory and practice. I recommend it for beginners through intermediate learners—particularly those interested in trading or dividend-oriented strategies. Complete novices will appreciate the clear start‑to‑finish path, while more experienced traders will gain fresh insights in risk control and financial analysis.
