This looks like a great idea. There is so much information that needs to be understood before people get into investing and trading. I know some people who have gotten started with binary options trading and other types, and they didn’t have the background necessary to do well in it, so it would’ve been great for them to have base knowledge regarding the subject.
Great point, JP. A lot of people underestimate the study time required to become a consistent trader and/or investor. They think they can just sign up for some alert service and simply mirror hot picks – and that’s a dangerous approach. An educational foundation is the best way to start. Take care!
