Series 7 Exam; Series 7 Study Guide Lessons and Information

 

Investment Fundamental Analysis, Balance Sheet part 1

In this lesson we start our exploration of the different techniques used in stock analysis. There are two types of commonly recognized techniques for analyzing stocks, fundamental analysis and technical analysis. We are going to start our learning with fundamental analysis perspective.

This is the first lesson of what will become a multi-audio series of lessons on fundamental analysis techniques.

In this lesson we discuss a balance sheet going into detail over the various categories of the balance sheet and what to watch for. There are several categories in a balance sheet that companies can interpret in several ways. Also there are different depreciation techniques that will affect balance sheet assets. We discuss inventory methods, depreciation methods, goodwill and all the other terms that are represented on the balance sheet.

When looking at a balance sheet this is the economic history of the company over many years, whereas the income statement shows a snapshot over the past year, a balance sheet shows the company’s financial performance over its entire life.

Interview with Jim Odom founder of PreSonus Corp.

In this lesson I divert our attention away from studying for the series 7 examination and instead I want you to start thinking about how you are going to attract clients. In my opinion you're most likely clients are going to be coming from the private sector, people that have actually done something creative with their lives I like to talk to entrepreneurs those are the people that I like to develop as clients and friends. I talked to one of those friends today, Jim Odom, the founder and president of PreSonus Corp. and we discussed how he started his company, the trials, the successes and the future. When you're talking to people like Jim think of their motivations and the joy that they get from creating something that did not exist or making something better.
