Investing in Shares for Maximum Returns-Online Course

Warning
The value of any investment may go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of the money you invest. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance.
Execution-Only, which is the strategy I adopt regarding my share purchases, is not for everyone. You should ensure that you fully understand any investment and the associated risks before making a decision to invest.
This course does not constitute investment advice as it does not take into account the investment objectives, knowledge and experience or financial situation of any particular person or persons. Prospective investors are advised to make their own assessment of the information contained herein and obtain professional advice suitable to their own individual circumstances.
This course is an education product, with an objective of giving you the knowledge and information to make your own informed decisions regarding shares and property. That informed decision, once you have taken this course, may be to engage further professional advice from an investment expert, tax expert, accountant, solicitor, or other professional with the necessary qualifications.

Course #2-Property and shares investing course
Have you ever wanted to invest in shares but you were not sure what was involved? Did the lack of knowledge prevent you from getting started with building your own small shares portfolio?
Or perhaps you have an interest in property investment-bricks and mortar?
I have created an online course which aims to help you. It is an online investment course divided into two parts:
- Investment in shares
- Investment in property
I have drawn upon my own experience and training to create a course comprising at least 35 videos setting out what I have learned since I bought my first property 35 years ago in 1986.
Since then I have been investing in property and shares and have done well.
More importantly, however, I have learned the fundamentals of investing in shares and property.
Not just from studying books or reading up about the theory of investment but from investing my own (and the bank’s) money in many different properties and ventures over the 3.5 decades.
Some have succeeded, some have disappointed.
And the property crash that followed the Celtic Tiger property boom was an expensive, memorable lesson.
My online course will give you the lessons from what I have learned and will give you the tools to look after your own investments.
Firstly, you need to decide if shares or property are right for you. I explain the factors you need to consider, especially your own circumstances and your psyhological outlook.
What you will learn (shares)
- Advantages of the Small Investor [4:25]
2. Risk – is share investment right for you? [3:25]

Bonus – My share portfolio
This course is not going to teach you how to get rich quick. If that’s what you are looking for you will have to continue looking.
And I make no promises about your success or the type of returns, if any, you will receive.
But you will acquire the knowledge needed to allow you to invest in shares and property with confidence.
You will be able to watch the videos and take notes at your own pace. And study the material in your own time and at a time that suits you and fits into your lifestyle.
At the end of it you will have learned how to buy your own shares and build your own portfolio, what to look for, what to avoid, how to research companies and analyse shares, and what sources of information/research you can rely on.

Property
I bought my first property in Dublin in 1986 when I was 23.
I have bought, sold, developed, built many properties over the last 35 years. Residential, commercial, retail, greenfield sites, and so on.
The photographs above show some of the property deals I have been personally involved in over the years. My hands on experience, together with my professional training as a solicitor, allows me to give you a unique perspective when it comes to property investment in Ireland.
This course contains what I have learned over 35 years of investment in property and shares. I believe my experience has value and can help you avoid certain mistakes that I have made or encounter an an all too frequent basis.

Who this course is not for
This course is not for you if you want to get rich quick or you are not prepared to put in the required study to pursue successful investments in shares or property. It’s not rocket science, it is easier than you might imagine.
But you must take it seriously and learn the lessons set out in the course.
There are many other courses where wild, inaccurate claims about how much money you will make are made. This makes no such claims. In fact, regarding claims or warranties:
