You must understand the portfolio theory of investments, bond and stock valuation, and option markets.  Review investments theory prior to the start of the class, or consider withdrawing.  \n• The basics of probability, means and covariances, linear regressions. If you struggled with quantitative reasoning and algebra before, you should expect to put in a lot of time into this class.  \n1. Course Description  \nCan you become a concert pianist by listening to Rachmaninoff on Spotify or taking music theory classes? Have you have been going about learning finance only by taking theory courses? If you sat in my investment course, apart from adding and subtracting a few numbers, you mostly absorbed concepts and you did very little “performing”. That all changes in this course; you will only perform. The MO of the class is to for me to guide you to implement financial models using MS Excel.“Learning by doing” is not only a highly effective way of gaining deeper insights into financial models, but also of gaining confidence in driving them. Like a music teacher, I will only be a guide. You will need to master the models by practicing.  \nBy the end of this course, you will have:  \n• A full understanding of the principles of good design of spreadsheet models of financial problems  \n• The skills to analyze financial problems and identify solutions through the use of a spreadsheet.  \nUnlike structured computer code, spreadsheets are open-ended tools, very difficult to analyze when large. Our emphasis is on finance and the implementation accuracy; you may want invest your own time to learn hot keys, effective formatting, graphing (this is not an Excel class!).  \nWe will look at the following 4 categories of financial models:  \n1. Portfolio Construction: calculation of portfolio expected returns and variances, manipulations of covariance matrices, efficient frontier and tangent portfolio construction, asset pricing of equities in CAPM and multifactor settings  \n2. Bonds: pricing of bonds, computing durations and convexities of bonds, immunizing bond portfolios, constructing the term structure of interest rates  \n3. Equity Analysis: Modeling financial statements to value stock using free cash flows: percent-of methods of pro-forma construction, using debt as a plug, and a leveraged buyout set-up  \n4. Options: the payoff structure of options, equity option overlays, pricing options using the binomial and Black-Scholes models  \n2. Course Materials / How to Use Them  \nAll required course materials are under Modules organized by Weeks.  \n• Class data sets, mp4 slides with theory for each class, some extra files summarizing the theory. All modules have suggested optional readings. Review it all beforehand, then actively watch the  \n• Lecture videos. Painstakingly create your own spreadsheet while watching. Then turn to:  \n• Homework data sets. Repeat everything in the lecture video with new data. Do the homework right away before you forget the steps and the theory of the lecture.  \n• Exam prep data sets. These have specific instructions. Submit and then join the webinar.  \n• If you have forgotten the material from your investments class, get an old copy of Bodie Kane Marcus Essentials of Investments, Bodie Investments, or Dubil Financial Engineering and Arbitrage in the FM. Read this to learn the background investments theory and to answer quiz questions.  \n• Get Benninga Financial Modeling, 3rd Ed, 2008, MIT Press (or 4th 2014) only if ","cbCaivPXe7YHTxI7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivPXe7YHTxI7","pdf",400641,"English","# Course Description\n## Learning by Doing Approach\n# Course Materials / How to Use Them\n## Modules by Weeks\n## Lecture Videos and Homework\n## Exam Prep and Case Study\n# Assessment and Grades\n## Midterms, Homeworks, and Exam Prep Exercises\n## Examinations\n## Active Watching and Webinar Participation","[{\"question\":\"What skills are emphasized in Finance 6380?\",\"answer\":\"The course emphasizes good spreadsheet model design, using spreadsheets to analyze financial problems, and implementing models accurately.
