Understanding the World of Financial Markets, Whether you\u2019re buying a home, saving for retirement, running a business, or just plain speculating, it\u2019s important to understand financial markets. These are the engines of commerce in today\u2019s world, powering economic activity and steering the flow of capital
In this course, Professor Fullenkamp surveys the big picture, analyzing the underlying mechanics that drive markets, while providing insights into why they behave the way they do. He gets to the bottom of mystifying topics such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs (non-fungible tokens), tells how to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of a company, and gives you a handle on those irrational drivers of markets: greed and fear. You will come away as a more-informed investor, prepared to take advantage of opportunities that fit your goals, resources, and risk tolerance. A few of the markets that you will learn about are not for general investors, but, in fact, they govern how other markets work. For instance, intangible assets are some of the most valuable property that is owned by companies, but you can\u2019t buy shares in them. Instead, you should bear them in mind when deciding whether to invest in a firm. Intangible assets include patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property, along with brand names, logos, reputation, and comparable non-physical assets. With experience studying financial markets for the better part of four decades, Professor Fullenkamp knows how to evaluate investor behavior and new financial products<\/p>\n
