1. The textbook being used, "Investments" by Bodie et al, is an excellent academic resource. This professor is an excellent resource for academic and practical application of investing. "Never trust an Investment Banker" - worth the price of tuition.

6. Dear Professor,
   
   I have a couple questions:
   1) How similar are "Essentials of Investments" and "Investments" to one another?  They are both written by Bodie, Kane and Marcus.
   2) Do you have videos posted on every chapter in the Textbook?
   
   Thank you for doing this.

10. I left Prince Sultan University long time ago. You need to ask you instructor what to do on exam and how to respond to such questions - I can't possibly know what YOUR instructor wants.

17. Excellent and insightful introduction.
18. Thanks again for the very kind words. There is a lot more on investments. You basically get two complete university courses with fundamental analysis, technical analysis, portfolio analysis, fundamental analysis, and a lot more.
19. Another great lecture. You are now making me think twice about the Stock Market and the investment process as a whole. I know realize more information is needed before one can jump and invest in the markets.
