Analyzing an Annual Report the Easy Way (Beginner and above)
If
you find the information in the Annual Report daunting, this class is
for you. Only minutes are required for the entire analysis.
First—what to read, what’s important, and what’s not.
Second—how to analyze all those financial numbers.
A
computerized tool (spreadsheet), available at no cost, quickly guides
you to useful conclusions. The tool is built in sections, allowing a
simple and quick data analysis, through more complex graphic levels,
depending on your interest and investment skill level. Start with a
simple analysis and learn as you explore more and more information about
a company.

February 2, 2022
March 30, 2022
Offered on-line through Colorado Free University
6:30 pm - 9 :30 pm
Do
you want to increase your knowledge of Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds
(ETFs)? Do you think additional
knowledge about these investments will improve your personal or deferred
retirement account portfolio? Have you
wondered how you could compare different funds to determine the best “fit” for
your portfolio? Do you know where to
find pertinent information about these funds?
If these are questions are in the back of your mind, we invite you to
attend this class.
The two experienced
instructors will expand your knowledge and guide you to reference material that
will assist you in selecting the appropriate mutual funds and ETFs to suit your
own portfolio. You will learn how to
evaluate these funds and, with continued practice, you will be capable of
identifying the funds which will increase the value of your portfolios. Investing is a life-time venture, and this
class will provide a basic foundation to enable you to initiate or improve your
knowledge of both mutual funds & ETFs.
