Sneak Preview - Zecco Zirens and Zecco EDU

This week we started work on educational video series brought to you by the smart and savvy Zecco Zirens, Liz, Veronica and Rebecca. Let’s face it, the one thing investing education has in common, regardless of source, is that it’s boring and unnecessarily complicated. Not at Zecco. 

Zecco Zirens Enjoy Free Stock Trades

 
Our videos show you that investing doesn’t need to be complicated or boring. The Zirens demystify seemingly complex concepts in an entertaining way, making it easy for you to learn how to analyze and trade stocks on your own, without a high-priced broker.

We shot three short educational videos this week: Investing Basics, Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. The team huddled into a tiny, sweltering hot studio in San Francisco (yes- believe it or not, it was incredibly hot in San Fran this past week!) to shoot the videos. The Zirens took the dense material and made it accessible and entertaining. The final cuts should be up on the site along with our re-launched education center in just a few weeks, so keep an eye out! You’ll learn something and be entertained. In August, the Zirens will shoot their next round of videos focusing on Options Education. I’ll keep you posted!
 

Zecco free stock trades old zecco


While I’m excited about video content, it’s just a part of the educational resources soon to be available at Zecco.com. The new pages will offer enhanced investing education on asset allocation, stock investing, fundamental analysis, technical analysis and options trading. We’re also building up our topic EDU pages with great offerings on specifics such as Investing in Oil, IPOs,  and the particularly relevant topic, Learn to Thrive in a Bear Market (or at least survive).

And of course, there’s always ZeccoShare where users help teach and inform each other. To get a good idea of how people are helping people at ZeccoShare, check out Uncle Billy’s extensive blogs and forum posts where he writes about everything from penny stocks to shorting stocks to the cost of buying ETFs. And if you have a specific question, post it on our investing forums and someone will be sure to help you out. That’s what it’s all about!

Hey, I like the idea of some simple investment strategies and fundamentals. Many of us need it especially in this volatile market. I started fine a few months ago and now I'm stuck. The educational videos however short would be a plus. I wouold like to know more about Call Options.

Thanks for Listening & Acting on the Request!

Hi wifi55,

The first three options education videos we plan to shoot are "call options", "put options" and "covered calls".  Shooting will be in August.

I think they look classy! Beautiful women can be intelligent! Why stare at some old dude when you can have a beautiful woman deliver the content?

RE: "...with our re-launched education center..."

They also going to be redoing the current very basic/out of date videos ?
..."placing a stock trade"
..."placing an option trade"
..."how to use a stop order"

These need to be redone and cover each of the dropdowns & each selection within.

also would be nice if the Glossary pages contained all of the selections
and in plain "english"

I don't care if the models look like Larry The Cable Guy so long as
as they show me how to be a better trader.  But it don't hurt
that they are beautiful though.  Best regards to all.

Clearly, you have a very male demographic, who won't pay attention unless boobs are involved. As a female investor, I'm not interested. You can keep Barbi, Bambi, Buffy, and their plunging necklines. Offering this "educational content" paints Zecco as anything but a forum for serious investors. It's a swimsuit issue. Are you Laura Croft fans, too? My take: what bunch of Maxim-reading bozos came up with this sad idea?
