What class gives you knowledge useful in investing?
Question:
Answer:
I learned by reading books on my own - classes aren't too helpful unless they're of graduate level. Read these books on investing:
"One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch
"Beating the Street" by Peter Lynch
"The Intelligent Investor" by Ben Graham
"Rule # 1" by Phil Town

Before switching solely to Forex, I traded stock, taking lots of courses to learn how. Many were very poor despite charging large amounts (multiple thousands). Only one charged a reasonable fee ($250) and was by far and away the best stock trading class I have ever taken. It is called "Teach the Teachers" -- don't know their website, but you can surely find it via a search engine like yahoo. It took a full three days, started early (before 8 AM) and ended late.
