Active Investor Course Information

Marcus Today offers an Intermediate Education Seminar called Stock Picking for the Active Investor with Marcus Padley. It is a one day seminar that runs from 9am to 4pm for only $750

This seminar is for anyone who is active or wants to actively invest in individual shares. I will not teach you Chapter 1 of a technical or fundamental text book that you could read for yourself or cover predictable content that some much more expensive but ultimately misguided courses will offer you. Instead I will be telling you how it really works, which involves learning a realistic process for assessing shares and making money out of shares, not motherhood technical and fundamental theory, most of which doesn’t work. There is “Dumb Money” and “Smart Money”. Marcus Padley will teach you how to become a “Smart” investor.
