Invertir desde Cero stock course: useful, but not advanced
The thread starter, who says they have no formal financial training, joins paid program by blogger Fernando Sánchez, known for his YouTube channel and website Invertir desde Cero. The course is reasonably priced and will be their first formal financial education.
What you learn in a month of course
Those who completed it summarize it plainly: it works, but it’s not advanced. In one month, they cover almost all relevant topics in a very superficial way. The student admits they still can’t calculate EV, ROIC, or free cash flow from a balance sheet, nor know where to check if a company is buying back shares. The course provides tools, not a Coca-Cola formula.
The investment club: twelve sessions after the course
After the month of classes, there is a monthly session for a year. It’s the investment club, where specific value theses are developed. One student finds this the most interesting yet nascent part: only two sessions had been held so far. Most of the year’s trinc-up remains to be verified.
Is it worth paying for a stock course?
The business model is questioned: those who truly get rich in stocks focus on investing, not teaching. Others argue that neither Sánchez nor Alejandro Estebaranz—who also sells training—need to teach to live, as they are millionaires. A sarcastic counterargument notes that if five years of an Economics degree don’t make someone a profitable investor, an online course won’t either. There’s also the track record: Sánchez was associated with True Value, the fund linked to El Arte de Invertir, but no further information on his investing history is confirmed.
The anecdote: 120,000 euros in Telefónica
One thread message reveals the author invested 120,000 euros in Telefónica right after finishing. The thread starter’s response—expecting the money to be borrowed, otherwise it’s pointless—sums up the underlying skepticism.
The introductory course is also available free on YouTube, notes another forum user watching it.
