Everything You Need to Know About Finance and Investing in Under an Hour
Laurie Frederiksen on
I ran across this video by Bill Ackman recently and thought some of you might find watching it a good educational activity for your investment clubs. I think he does a good job covering a lot of basic investing topics. The information is presented very clearly in an easy to understand and easy to watch manner.
In the first part of the video he starts by discussing how a business is set up, operated, financed and valued using an example of running a lemonade stand that eventually goes public. It sounds simple, but he very effectively presents basic business ideas and concepts that anyone who wants to be an investor needs to know.
The video goes on to touch on many other investing topics such as the power of compounding, things to think about if you want to start investing, how to pick mutual funds and investment advisors etc.
It would be something you could easily watch in pieces if you don't have a full hour to commit all at once.
