How did I get a down vote? Haha. I am literally giving free information. O well! Even bad news is good news

[goofygirl]

All of this material for the SIE was enough to make my head explode. I don't have a finance background but you break these very dry topics down into easy to understand concepts that I actually understand. I only wish that I had found your videos sooner! Thank you!

[jessicamcneil]

Ken, your killing it, been trying to find another teacher online that explains things better, but to no avail. This is really helping me with the SIE, on my way to Series 7 soon!

[dylandematteis]

I have been going through your videos and just wanted to leave a thank you note! Having someone with industry knowledge explaining the key concepts really helps. Appreciate the awesome videos!

[nataliev]

I consider you a friend. So, friend.... kick it up a notch.. please don't forget that life is short...we will spend eternity in one of two places. Ready for some strong language? Here we go...Ken, you must repent and believe the gospel...or you will perish...think about it ...thanks again for everything..Jack

Best explanation of mortgage backed securities I have heard so far

[biancaantoinette]

Taking the SIE exam in one week. Not feeling as confident with all the information we have to know. However, your videos I just found are helping me. Wish I discovered them sooner.

[gracengrowth]

Thank you Ken, you make it easy to understand this stuff!!!

[roberthartz]

I have loved everything about these videos. I have ADHD, so I'm obviously already on tilt when I have to take a test. When your phone rings in these videos it takes me out of my very tiny zone of concentration. Maybe turn the volume off during these? Not being mean. Just giving honest feedback. Otherwise, very helpful
