    Very informative. Any course that takes about finance will always catch my attention since I love charts and tracking financial documents. I spend hours doing this daily and I wouldn't trade financial fundamental record keeping for anything in the word. Give me a balance sheet, statement of cash flows, and income statement and that's my paradise.
