Very nice course to understand some fundamentals of finance. Even if you know a lot about finance then there are still valuable insights in this course you might not have been presented with before.

Almost a perfect course, with a lot of amazing information. The only bad thing is the class materials are to static and fuelled with info but it will completely change what you know about finantials.
