Insider's Guide to Finance
The Insider's Guide to Finance channel is devoted to demystifying financial markets and instruments. An expanding list of videos will be created to address a range of issues related to securities and derivative contracts and the markets in which they trade. Most videos will be directed towards explaining financial instruments or investment concepts that are often confusing when first encountered or for those whose dealings with them are only occasional or tangential. The confusion is frequently related to the industry jargon typically encountered when reading or hearing even basic explanations. Consequently, deciphering market lexicon will feature prominently in many videos.
