Selfstudy resources

Question

I'm looking for some decent online resources I can use to get a head start on finance coursework. I'm a recent high school grad taking a year off to volunteer in LatAm before attending a target next year, and will have a fair bit of downtime during this. While I of course will take advantage of being an adult in such a free part of the world, I don't want my study habits to fall behind, especially in math. So far I've bookmarked Khan Academy (again) and MIT OCW to run through, and was wondering if anyone else had ideas for online substance or books to read.

If you get in contact with kids that are in the finance clubs at your school, especially a target, they'll probably be able to hook you up with a 'treasure box' type zip folder with more shit than you know what to do with.

I started with the accounting/corporate finance stuff when I first got into this. Forms the foundation for everything else. If you can really understand how the 3 statements work together and use assumptions to make projections, everything else comes easy

Second the Investment Banking book by the joshua's, has been solid to help conceptualize key modeling concepts.

Investment Banking Valuation by Rosenbaum and Pearl is a must for understanding Investment Banking. Read Marketwatch, WSJ, and Investopedia every day (just what interests you not everything) and take an Investopedia course. They are free and set up like textbooks. Go to investopedia and look up University or Courses and they are free and cover every topic you can imagine. I bought some used and old CFA Level 1 and 2 prep books and read them. I do not try to study them but just basic understanding

how do you think most non-finance/business majors get offers? "self-study" certainly won't make you stand out - it is a requisite if you want to break in to this industry. and if you are a finance major, you better know your stuff - really well - otherwise your gonna get dinged, quickly.

even as a sophomore, i'd start opening those textbooks this year. competition is pretty stiff, and your better off starting now than later on.

good luck.
