Course 1 of the Confident Investing Series provides you with two factors absolutely essential to effective investing: basic investing knowledge and a structured process for making informed decisions. 

All individuals must start with a firm understanding of the basic principles of investing. These principles are few in number and not difficult to understand when presented clearly and concisely as they are in this course. With a strong foundation of investing knowledge in place, the course then walks you through a step-by-step process for setting the investing goals you really want in life and then creating a detailed Investing Plan for meeting them. 

To achieve these objectives the course supplies you with online calculators, worksheets, checklists and a variety of links to powerful third party Web sites that will assist you in the planning process. The Investing Plan you create in this course will be an "action document" that guides all of your subsequent investing decisions.
