Join us at Studio 535 for a lecture on investing.

  1. Investing from first principles

    • How the world of investing works: the risk-free rate as foundation

    • Index funds' mechanical advantages from the perspective of an active investor; why I'm active

    • Bonds/fixed income: the forgotten asset class

    • Real estate: thinking about a buy from first principles

    • The concept of "alpha" in investing, business, life

    • Crypto- for/against

  2. Investing: practical applications for employees and founders

    • Employees: stock options- valuing your compensation; benchmarking company valuation/positioning against public peers/comps

    • Founders: Driving business decisions- ROIC; pattern-matching businesses; fundraising

  3. Bonus: are we in a bubble?
