Berkeley Investment Group (BIG) offers this Decal for students unfamiliar with investing or who may have previously traded and want to learn more. From laying a groundwork of financial terms to explaining how they operate together, this course covers everything you’ll need to know to start investing. Initially, we’ll explain the core terms of finance, then, using our basic understanding, venture into fundamental and comparable analysis. By the middle of the course, you’ll be able to analyze the fundamentals of a business, understand its financial statements, and form a contrarian viewpoint on its future growth. Lectures will then focus on idea generation, finding an informational edge, and putting everything together to create a cohesive stock pitch. Lastly, we provide an extra lecture on careers in finance and tips for recruiting.

This 2 unit Decal will help you familiarize yourself with investing, or help those who have traded learn more about the markets. From laying the groundwork for financial terms to understanding whole business operations, this course teaches you how to analyze good/bad businesses, and ultimately, form your investment theses!
