Building a Stock Portfolio (FNCE 1001)

How do you evaluate stocks? How do you read an annual or quarterly report? What is a growth stock, a value stock, and a dividend? This course explains how to build a portfolio of stocks and ETFs. Learners will examine case studies of US and Canadian compainies like Amazon, Apple, Royal Bank, TD Bank, BCE, and CN to better understand why and how they've provided excellent investment returns. With an understanding of some of the technical yardsticks for a successful stock portfolio, like P/E ratios, Return on Equity, dividend yield, and cash flow, learners will create practice portfolios to apply their learning.
