Ever wondered how the seemingly complex world of financial markets and investing works? Brace yourself as we, led by yours truly, Edward Finley, seasoned Wall Street investor and sometime Professor at the University of Virginia, embark on an enlightening journey together to unravel these mysteries. Drawing from my popular course taught at the McIntire School of Commerce, we'll begin by stripping down the complex veneer of financial markets, exploring their origins, their functionality and participants, and the role of trading and innovation therein.

Venturing forward, we'll simplify the daunting elements of finance theory such as the efficient market hypothesis and the role heuristics play in market behavior. We'll traverse through the world of equities, private equity, bonds, hedge funds, and real assets while juxtaposing theories with observed data. You'll gain insights into the art of portfolio construction and how investors amalgamate risks to meet their goals. As we go along, expect riveting interviews, deep dives into current events, and comprehensible reviews of scholarly papers. By the end, you'll be well-equipped to discern what the press talks about, making finance less intimidating. So, buckle up and join me on this exciting venture into the world of finance!
