The Minutes-to-Money approach

The seven-phase curriculum

The curriculum progresses from setting up an account to applying more advanced trading methods. Each phase includes video lessons, homework, quizzes and simulated trading to support practice.

Phase 1: U.S. stock market fundamentals

Begin with account setup and the distinction between investing and trading. The lessons also introduce market indices, including the Dow Jones and S&P 500, with homework and quizzes to reinforce the basics.

Phase 2: Finding lower-risk stocks

Explore three traits used to assess stocks and use tools such as Yahoo Finance to examine risk. Practical exercises provide a way to apply the selection process.

Phase 3: Building long-term wealth

Study dividend investing, compounding and ETF-based retirement planning, including VOO. Homework reinforces the concepts behind a longer-term approach to wealth building.

Phase 4: Using other people’s money

Examine how credit and external funding can be used to increase investment capacity. The phase addresses responsible use, ethical considerations and real-world applications.

Phase 5: Covered call income

Learn Smith’s covered call strategy, including how to execute trades and apply its trading rules. Realistic simulations offer practice before using real capital.

Phase 6: Reinvesting for growth
