If you want to know all the different investment philosophies that are out there, value investing, growth investing, momentum investing, macreconomic analysis, top down, bottom up, fundmanetal analysis, technical analysis, quantitative analysis etc and all of the different valuation/pricing methodologies like DCF, multiples analysis, ratio analysis etc, Than this course is for you.

There is a reason he is called the Dean of Valuation.

I have studied online courses at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford and Wharton but this course was by far the best because of Professor Damodaran he is really an excellent teacher, extremely knowledgable, I am going to enrol in all of his other online courses, If I wasnt living in Perth Western Australia I would enroll in NYUs MBA just so I could study more courses with Professor Damodaran.

They even give you access to Capital IQ(huge database that investment banks use) which is what I used when I was working at a fund manager it is very expensive and only financial institutions have access to it.

I would like it if you could ask Professor Damodaran to teach more online courses, currently he teaches Corporate Finance, Investment Philosophies and Advanced Valuation, I would take all of those if I was you

Professor Damodaran is by far the most intelligent, knowlegable, humble and best teacher I have come across in my undergraduate/postgraduate study, he also has an excellent sense of humour which most finance/economic professors lack.

This course really makes you think, forces you to look at the facts and most importantly, leaves you with no option but to take a very serious look at how you invest, why you invest the way you do, boxes you into recognizing your own biases and forces you to re-evaluate your investment strategy and style. What could be better for an investor than these outcomes? It gives you room to develop your own CONSISTENT investment strategy based on your own investment philosophy (developing one is the goal of this course!). You get a chance to look at almost every investment style there is without getting lost in complexity, you are forced to come to your own conclusion about how markets work and how you want to invest . The key though is that you are forced to think about all the other investment strategies and why you are discarding them in favour of your chosen style - and it better match up to your investment philosophy otherwise you are missing the whole point of the course. If you are looking for a way to have an anchor for your investments and your investment strategy, take this course. This really is the missing link. I sure don't need another course in mean variance optimization and I sure don't need another white paper from robo-advisors telling me about the number of nobel prize winners on their board (and their methodology).

This course has real practical applications. I cannot recommend this course any higher. If you want to invest, take this course.
