Is the stock market bullish or bearish? Should you get in on that hot new artificial intelligence chip stock? What about that mutual fund? Or are you still scratching your head about cryptocurrency or foreign exchange markets? For all these answers and more, SurgeU has entered the chat.
SurgeU is a new educational platform, and one of its products is designed to equip aspiring traders as well as more seasoned investors with tools created to help them turn their visions of diversified and stable portfolios into a reality. What sets SurgeU apart is that it ingrains biblical principles of finances and wealth management into its courses.
“We’re big believers that learning skills like trading in the market is a skill to be mastered, not a subject to be studied,” says Jeremy Nosek, chief strategy officer for SurgeU. “So just like if you were learning to play basketball or golf or acquiring any other skill, watching YouTube videos and reading books is not going to get the job done. With SurgeU, students benefit from live education, practice labs, and tools. We really pride ourselves in over-the-shoulder instruction to really teach the skill of trading — not just knowledge acquisition, which is usually what happens when you’re reading a book or watching a YouTube video. And in our experience, knowledge without skill does not lead to mastering in the markets.”
These investing skills will come in handy now more than ever.
The IRS reports that as many as 78 million working Americans — which accounts for close to half the workforce — don’t have a retirement savings plan at work. The harsh reality is that many people who have 20 years to go before retiring barely have five figures saved for their golden years. With the rising challenge of inflation and Americans living longer, learning to invest with skill and confidence has never been more valuable than it is right now. It’s one of many reasons SurgeU is becoming a popular pathway for those wanting to learn strategies to better manage and grow their investments.
What Is SurgeU?
SurgeU is taking a pragmatic approach to teaching market trading skills. It presents practical, real-world instructors and trading platforms in the format of live classes and on-demand video courses to accommodate the busy lives of students. Students not only learn wealth multiplication strategies together, but they work on skill development, gain biblically principled wisdom for stewarding financial resources, and worship together.
“The strong community that develops when a group of like-minded Christian investors comes together to learn and grow and support each other is so powerful,” explains Nosek.
SurgeU students get the tools to make an impact because, as SurgeU chief marketing officer Rob Collins shares, they’ve got companions on their path to learning how to manage wealth.
“Whether they enroll in a 12- or 24-month program or longer, we’re with them every step of the way, walking with them, helping them along the journey,” says Collins. “We’re in the business of equipping Christian investors with important life skills, not simply delivering education.”
This interdisciplinary approach SurgeU offers ensures that students gain a well-rounded understanding of the financial landscape, encompassing everything from the stock market to cryptocurrencies and forex.
Nosek adds that SurgeU wants to make its curriculum relatable and approachable, which is brought to life through gifted instructors with real-world experience who love teaching others the skills they’ve learned.
“We want to make sure that we have instructors, especially for advanced classes, that actually practice what they preach and they are not book-smart academics without real-world experience,” Nosek explains.
At SurgeU, it all goes back to the saying, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”
The Tools Behind SurgeU
SurgeU incorporates proprietary tools and world-class technology into its lessons. “We’re building tools, licensing and partnering with best-in-class cutting-edge platforms, trading platforms, to offer what we believe is the best technology for people to find, do their technical analysis, and execute trades to put in their supply and demand zones and so forth,” Nosek says.
What’s in Store for SurgeU Students
“The first thing students are often surprised to discover is that the financial products and strategies that Wall Street banks and institutions use for their own money is often very different than what is sold to Main Street investors like us,” explains Nosek. “There is a whole world of new asset classes, investment vehicles, and trading strategies that students are opened up to that can create an ‘aha’ moment that forever changes how they look at opportunities in the financial markets.”
At SurgeU, students can also learn how to build wealth through investing in real estate.
