This webinar series is intended for the investor who has a beginning to intermediate level of investing experience and knowledge. It assumes you know the difference between stocks and bonds, and the difference between investing in publicly traded stock and investing in a mutual fund that, in turn, invests in publicly traded stocks. It assumes further that there are good many things you do not know but which you are quite capable of picking up quickly. The series begins with fundamentals, such as
the concepts of alpha and beta and how to approach reading financial statements and financial journalism. The series then turns to look closely at certain alternative investment objects of
fascination: investment in VC/PE/HF (private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds) and investment in "hard" assets like real estate.
As with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode is delivered in Plain English understandable to you even if you do not have any background in the subject. And, as with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode brings you into engaging, sometimes humorous, conversations designed to entertain as it teaches. Each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes so that participants will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all episodes.
Episode #1
You buy some stocks, the market goes up (or down) and your stocks do too. How much of the move of your stocks is due to your savvy as a stock picker (this is alpha) and how much is due to the rise in the market generally (this is beta)? And if you used the advice of an advisor, how much in fees did you pay? These and other basic questions about stock market investing and related topics are the subjects for this webinar.
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation
designed to entertain as it teaches. And, it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it.
