FIN 501 Week 1 Discussion | Assignment Help | Trident University
Discussion: Finance in Movies and TV/Excel for
Finance
The first part of the discussion should be fun.
Many of you without a background in finance may have gotten your impression of
the finance world from TV or movies. Even the highly prestigious Certified
Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute has published Top 20
Films about Finance: From Crisis to Con Men.
Share what your impressions are based on a recent
TV show or movie, or one of the movies from the CFA Institute’s list if you can
find one of the movies online. If you haven’t watched anything finance-related
lately, check out the one of these movies: The
Big Short, Margin Call,
or Wall Street (the original
one, not the awful sequel). TV shows include Billions or
some early episodes of Silicon
Valley that involve getting finance for the new company. Post your
thoughts in the first week of the module.
For the second
week of the module, dig into the assignments and start to use Microsoft Excel.
There are some videos on Excel in the background reading page, but find an
additional video or two that helps you get started. Share the link with your
classmate and discuss the usefulness of the video you found.
