Nach diesem Kurs habe ich ohne Angst meine erste Aktie gekauft und weiß jetzt, wie ich ein Unternehmen vorher richtig einschätze.

Mijn angst voor de beurs is eindelijk weg en ik durfde voor het eerst zelf een aandeel te kopen, al had ik graag meer voorbeelden gezien.

Sempre tive medo da bolsa de valores e achava que precisava entender tudo antes de começar, mas este curso me mostrou o caminho passo a passo. Aprendi finalmente como avaliar uma empresa de forma simples antes de comprar e isso me deu muito mais segurança. A parte sobre escolher a primeira ação foi a que mais me ajudou, porque eu travava justamente nessa decisão. Consegui comprar minha primeira ação sem aquela ansiedade de sempre. Senti falta de mais exemplos práticos com gráficos, mas no geral valeu muito a pena. Recomendo para quem está paralisado pelo medo de errar.
