A free course that takes you from “what is a stock” to picking your own holdings with a reason you can defend. Read a lesson, check yourself with a quiz, then go and do it for real on live market data using our tools.
Most investing sites hand you an article and wish you luck. Every lesson here ends with a few questions to see what stuck, and a practice mission that sends you into a real tool with live prices — because knowing what a P/E is and being able to find one are not the same skill. Three courses take you from beginner to advanced; four more go deep on Canadian money, on valuation, on risk, and on dividends.
Start here if you have never bought a stock. By the end you will understand what you own, what moves it, and what risk actually means — and you will have used four of our tools on real companies.
For when you own a few things and want to stop guessing. Reading charts and earnings, judging what you pay, choosing accounts, and turning what you know into an actual portfolio.
Picking individual companies with a written thesis and a risk budget — using Quorum to screen, and the Notebook to hold yourself to what you said.
The three courses above teach you to invest. This one teaches everything around it — how much to save, which account to fill first, what fees really cost, and how each kind of income is taxed. Every figure is a verified 2026 number.
A deeper, standalone course for when you want to value a company yourself — with Canadian (TSX) and US worked examples, quizzes throughout and a final exam.
Everything above teaches you what to buy. This one teaches how much, what it costs you when you are wrong, and how you get out — the half of investing that decides whether you are still here in ten years.
A dividend is not free money, the highest yield on the screen is usually the most dangerous one on it, and the account you hold a stock in can change your after-tax income by a fifth. The mechanics, the safety analysis and the Canadian tax rules.
RiskStock already has the research tools — stock research, comparison, a dividend tracker, a portfolio tracker, calculators, and Quorum for finding undervalued companies. The course is what teaches you to use them on purpose: what to buy, what to leave alone, how to size it, and how to work out the risk before you commit money. You learn the concept, then you practise it on your own portfolio, on this site.
