Reflection of A term-Andres Yengle

 I decided to take this A term for the reason I think a lot of people joined: to make lots and lots of money. Over the past 8 days, I think I have learned more about investing and trading than the majority of adults in the world. I enjoyed this A term so much more than I originally thought I would. Going into this I thought it was going to be very boring and I was only doing it because I thought it was a good learning experience and information that would be helpful in the future. As the days passed I realized that although investing and trading can be very stressful, it also can be very exciting and fun to learn about. I loved learning about everything we talked about. I especially enjoyed it when I was even able to teach my own parents about the investing world. I think my favorite part of the course was how independent it was. After learning the basics Dr. Ott explained that we can research anything that piqued our interests. We were able to dive deeper into what we wanted to learn, and I enjoyed that very much. I think my favorite thing that we learned about was passive income and how there are things we can do to make money when we aren't even working such as renting out property that you own. I really enjoyed this A term and suggest if given the opportunity to take the class.

How I Learned To Make A Lot More Money Than I Have - A Reflection by Micah Weinstock

  Micah Weinstock Dr. Ott Investing A-Term March 31, 2021 A-Term Reflection I have enjoyed taking this A-Term. I found it helpful to build upon my base knowledge from Dr. Ott’s J-Term course. It’s a fun look at ways to generate income that can be anything from something you do during your lunch break to a full time occupation. I believe, for me, there were several key takeaways in what I learned and how I grew: maturity, research, and patience. Maturity is a big part of trading to me. There are many times where you will be making large financial decisions that carry huge consequences and weight. You need to have a certain knowledge in what you’re doing, coupled with a certain amount of trust in yourself. Another key takeaway from this would be the need to research, it’s not just a guessing game. “It's not gambling when you know you're gonna win.” - Alan Garner . The people who make the very most on stocks all research and have strategies that they abide to, regardless of

Investing and Trading A-Term - Day 5 - John M

Day 5 On March 26th, we completed our first week of the Investing A-Term. In the morning we focused on subjects such as Asset allocation, Bonds, Passive income, and Alternative investments. Personally, I found that the most interesting part of my morning research was corporate bonds, and how they can not only have a higher percentage interest and return rate than government bonds but also how they can hold a higher risk factor. Our in-class discussion about bonds made me think about the possibility of investing in a bond-related asset in the future, and if it would help me achieve my financial goals.  Through what I have learned so far, this course has taught me how I can better my financial future by teaching me how and why I should invest. Personally, this course has given me financial clarity and furthered my confidence in the stock market’s ability to help me gain long-term, steady returns. More specifically, how I should invest in mostly stocks and a portion of Exchange Traded Fun

The trailblazing blog (First One!) - Micah

This morning, we discussed how to use the website "TradingView" and had to create accounts on the platform. Additionally, there was a slight fiasco in attempting to gain access to this blog, somehow I was the only person to receive an invite at first. Then we broke off to write a bit about our chosen topics. When the group came back together, we discussed and read, then broke apart for lunch. This afternoon, we discussed what we learned from playing with the graphs on TradingView and delegated who would write todays blogger. I wonder who they picked.
