Have a little previous accounting background in poly but currently not in the accounting sector. Would like to pick up knowledge in economics/market concepts courses. Any recommendations?

Read up / watch youtube videos of the below concepts:

(1) Fundamental analysis (or technical analysis if you wanna be a trader)

(1a) intrinsic value, discounted cash flow model

(2) Dollar cost averaging

(3) How to read financial statements - to properly assess if company financial health is good

(4) pick a sector that you like or you understand the most and learn the metrics used to show the company is performing good (i.e technology, healthcare, REITS)

(5) common brokerage platform knowledge (what is bid price, ask price, how to execute stop loss, what is trailing stop loss, what is day vs Good to cancel (GTC) - dont overlook those. FYI- if the bid and ask prices are too wide, you will tend to see the prices jump drastically in the day
​

Tip: be curious and actively ask questions (either to yourself and then search it up or comments), as it helps to speed the learning process

Actually you might not need to learn accounting in its entirety to be a better investor. There are a number of resources online on reading Financial Statements specifically which would help you the most I think!

Library books

Youtube and research papers. Free, online.

Youtube just take a pinch of salts, we need to differentiate facts & opinons.
