Instructors where knowledgeable and very helpful. Content split between lectures and small group zoom meetings with instructors worked very well at having difficult concepts explained and worked through. It's clear the staff are passionate about what they are teaching. Just a really enlightening and enjoyable three days. Well worth the investment of time and money!

The experience that I had changed my impressions about investing in Stocks and trading options. I am a changed person and look forward to whatever is next with great anticipation. Now I am able to go play. Thank you to Phil and the team for a revolutionary experience. The individual investing experience. I am a part of that revolution now. Thank you.
