I mentioned Coursera's Intro to Finance course here, but no one was interested. :) It's was not a horrible course, but it had a lot of EMT and volatility-is-risk, high-risk-equals-high-return academic finance crap. Still some good DCF exercises.Computational Investing Part 1 course. That was quite bad. The professor did not prepare for it, material was late, exercises were bad. He did not say much interesting, except that if you have a trading system that's correct 55% of time, by making million trades you can get great return with almost zero volatility (risk) since your standard deviation goes to zero as the number of trades increases. He had market simulator toolkit and people could program their own trading strategies and simulate them on the past market. Not much useful for value investors.
