This course is designed to bring together concepts from Business Strategy and from traditional investments courses-in order to develop the thinking and techniques behind what is called "value investing." Unlike traditional investments curriculum, however, the emphasis here will be on individual company analysis and stock portfolio construction. That is, although understanding market dynamics remains important, we will mostly look at the capital markets from the vantage point of investors evaluating the investment prospects of one company at a time. In all, the course will develop concepts that help understand how and why stock prices fluctuate-or behave-so badly, and how careful individuals and companies ought to navigate through wildly unpredictable financial markets.
