She is sharp! She reverse engineered an I bonds interest calculation and presented it clearly. Not sure if she took any calculus but I suspect she knows bond fund math like the back of her hand.That's a good question. She offers a course for "Bond Beginners" and it appears to be quite extensive. Some of the titles would suggest that she really does start at the beginning of bond basics but there's not a specific outline online for free.Does she go through the mathematics of how bonds actually work? That seems to be a big gap in knowledge of many who seem to characterize bonds as if they were a black box. The math is fundamental, unlike equity.I think she's great and I haven't heard say anything that's incorrect. She did an outstanding segment on Schwab bank, and then one with Fidelity as well. Very credible.
Overall, she's more geared to the beginner level but she can ramp up the details periodically to the moderate level. I have no experience with her subscription service though--the figures above seem pretty high if they're accurate.
The free online segments are fine. She essentially keeps people out of trouble very effectively (discussing risk, watching the emotions when investing), and you have to respect that. I don't think that someone could recommend spending money on the course unless they've taken the course themselves.
