BIG PICTURE INVESTING

Professor Navarro's college-level course provides a basis for understanding macroeconomic business trends and how such forces impact individual investment decisions. The presentation is breezy and anecdotal, providing a broad introduction to multiple concepts that one encounters daily in the business press. The tapes include answers to questions offered at the end of each lecture by students and are accompanied by a pamphlet containing charts, figures, and references. There's a pragmatic focus on practical aspects of research, as well as advice on the mechanics of investing. The complex field of economics is central to the actions of our society. Thoughtful attention will allow the listener to join the conversation. J.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 04/ JAN 05]
