Discover what drives stock prices and how investors place a value on stocks. In this course, you'll dive into the essentials of valuation (including P/E ratios and DCF analysis), financial statements, and the fundamentals of stock investing. You'll analyze recent earnings releases and valuation multiples from companies like Google and Apple, giving you a framework for conducting fundamental investment research.

This class aims to give you a solid understanding of how financial markets actually work, rather than pushing get rich quick trading schemes. The principles you'll learn here are the same ones championed by value investors like Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham.
