Investment Philosophies with Aswath Damodaran
—
Dates: January 24, 2022 - May 20, 2022
Cost: $2,200
Consistently winning at investing is not only difficult to do, but does not follow a standard script. In other words, investment winners range the spectrum, from chartists to value investors to market timers, and imitation seems to provide no payoffs. So, what is it that separates these winners from the losers? Is it just luck? Is it skill? Is it personality? Professor Aswath Damodaran believes it is all three working together. The combination of all three takes the form of a consistent investment philosophy built not just on fundamental beliefs about how markets work (or fail to work), but one that fits an individual’s personal strengths and weaknesses.
In this course, students will look at a range of investment philosophies with the intent of finding not only the core beliefs that animate them, but also the ingredients needed to make them work. Students will look at the historical evidence in support of or working against each philosophy and what they need to bring to the table to succeed with that philosophy. In the process, Professor Aswath Damodaran hopes that students will find an investment philosophy that best fits them, given their individual strengths and weaknesses.
