Financial Poise™ Premieres “How to Read Financial Statements and Financial Journalism," a Webinar, Airing October 17th, 11am CST Through West LegalEdcenter
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 12, 2017 -- This webinar series is intended for the investor who has an intermediate level of investing experience and knowledge. It assumes you know the difference between stocks and bonds, and the difference between investing in publicly traded stock and investing in a mutual fund that, in turn, invests in publicly traded stocks. It assumes further that there are a good many things you do not know but which you are quite capable of picking up quickly. The PERSONAL FINANCE & INVESTING FUNDAMENTALS 2.0 Financial Poise webinar series begins with fundamentals, such as the concepts of alpha and beta and how to approach reading financial statements and financial journalism. The series then turns to look closely at certain alternative investment objects of fascination: investment in VC/PE/HF (private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds) and investment in "hard" assets like real estate.
The second episode of the PERSONAL FINANCE & INVESTING FUNDAMENTALS 2.0
webinar series is How to Read Financial Statements and Financial Journalism, airing on October 17th at 11am CST (REGISTER HERE), and features host Chris Cahill of Lowis & Gellen LLP. He is joined by Hubert Klein of EisnerAmper LLP, John Levitske of Huron Consulting Group, Jason Stevens of Sprott Global, and J. Richard Claywell CPA to discuss strategies for investor evaluation of financial journalism and financial statements.
Journalists -- financial and otherwise -- are not paid to compare carefully the strongest pro- and con- arguments of a proposition. Strong incentives push journalists toward producing loud click-bait. There is no day of reckoning for their views, as there is for investors who do as suggested. Readers, for their part, tend to click what confirms their own biases. How can an investor separate the wheat from the chaff in financial journalism? How can an investor look at the financial statements of a potential investment and decide for herself what the numbers mean? These are the topics for this webinar.
