This class presents a framework for investing in just about anything (stocks, bonds, derivatives, art, real estate, gold, your aunt's start-up) from a fundamental, "value" perspective, with a focus on stocks, for anyone who wants to manage her own money, manage someone else's money, or figure out if the financial markets are just a shill game. We will spend roughly an hour mapping the investable universe and explaining value investing principles; an hour going through examples; and an hour of discussion/TBD time, if needed. Recommended readings for further study will be provided. The framework can be applied to any investment but my examples will be primarily stock oriented. Folks curious what it's like to make a living in the world of financial markets are welcome to stay afterward and ask questions. This is NOT a personal finance course. Participants of all knowledge levels and philosophical viewpoints should attend. Absolutely no prior investing experience necessary.
