Sup /biz/.
I took an elective last semester on Corporate Finance and found out I liked it a lot. We barely grazed the topic of stock market investments so I've got the most novice understanding of the market. Are there reputable online courses I can take to understand valuation of stocks and corporations to help with personal investing?

OP here: Just to give you guys something in return - my final project was on evaluating Under Armour Inc. (UA), and it turns out that UA has a ROE, ROC, and ROA of 14% each compared to the 8% market average. The CEO takes a salary of only $20k with everything else in stock shares, so he's been making sure the company does well. It's got a 100% re-investment strategy so the growth stock has doubled its revenues in the past 4 years.
Just some food for thought. May be good to look at as a defensive stock (beta ~0.7).

Keep taking finance classes or just major in it. I'm in my last year undergrad majoring in finance and its fucking great. I genuinely can't wait to start up fall semester.
If you don't wanna major then i suggest 2 textbooks: intermediate corporate finance and Equity Analysis. these two will give you a more well rounded understanding of the markets, valuations, and the corporate side of finance.

What major are you currently in?
If you are in a quantitative degree I would stick with that and learn securities analysis and what not in your personal time, set up a paper trading account and maybe even your own real account.
Reason being, prop firms, hedge funds and IBs hire quantitative degree people in lots of different departments, including analysis of securities and trading of securities. e.g.
CS, CompE, EE are particularly good, but, all of them will be recognised as qualified for this stuff.

I'm a mechanical engineering major with a minor in EE and a minor in entrepreneurship. I appreciate you giving me a place to start. I've been searching for online classes on security analysis but so far I haven't found much, or maybe I'm searching in the wrong places?
