What is InvestAcademy?
InvestAcademy is a tuition-based college level class open to the
general public. The course is designed to answer some of the most
vexing issues facing investors:
- How can I cut through the avalanche of information available
to investors today?
- What are the most important factors that I should focus on
when making investment decisions?
- Is there a time–effective way to monitor my decisions?
Who should attend?
InvestAcademy is suitable for investors who
- Want to do a better job managing their investments
- Want an objective “second opinion” of an advisors advice
- Feel they need a way to control the risk in their personal
or 401(k) investment
How long is InvestAcademy?
InvestAcademy consists of two parts, for a total of 6 ½ hours of
instruction. The first part is 5 ½ hours of classroom instruction.
The second part is a 1 hour one-on-one tutorial, set by appointment.
Classroom time is dedicated to learning the 7-factor scorecard,
understanding what defines the success or failure of investment
decisions, and hands-on practice of “point and figure” charting and
case examples. These factors are summarized in a pair of investment
scorecards (one for stocks, the other for mutual funds) that rank
securities by likely probability of success.
Tutorial time is dedicated to enhancing the student’s
understanding of the scorecards learned in the class. The one-on-one
tutorials are set by appointment.
Is anything else being sold?
No. The class is educational only.
How much does InvestAcademy cost?
Tuition is $99 per person, and $49 for each additional person
(e.g. spouse or friend). This covers the class, tutorial, parking,
and all materials.
How do I register for InvestAcademy?
To register, call us at (303) 771-5002 or complete the attached
registration form and send it to Praxis with the appropriate tuition
(see previous question). You will receive confirmation, map, and
parking instructions by return mail. Pre-registration is required.
Should I bring my 401(k) or
brokerage account information? No. The
classes are designed to teach general principles. It would be
inappropriate to discuss a particular account in the class; however,
students can certainly suggest particular securities or situations
to serve as examples.
Should I bring paper, pens, and a
calculator? A textbook with class notes and/or
calculation examples will be provided to all attendees, with ample
room for note taking. Please bring your own pens and calculators.
What’s the maximum number of
attendees? Each class is limited to 35
students.
Where is InvestAcademy being held?
On the University of Denver campus. Map and
directions to the specific classroom will be sent with your confirmation.
InvestAcademy is not
sponsored by or affiliated with Colorado Seminary or the University of
Denver.
What about parking?
Parking is in the garage adjacent to the classroom. You will be
provided a physical dashboard permit to enter for the day, and the cost is included in
your tuition.
