los angeles resident? which school?

Question

is there any school here in LA that i can go, so i can take some finance class... i just wanted to learn how to trade in stock market or mutual funds... i checked local colleges they don't have any class like that...i mean, i'm looking for short term classs. please help....

Answer 1

they probably don't offer the class because they don't want to take the responsibility if you lose your money. Try asking mutual fund companys to send you brochures or information on investing. That should get you started. And then go to the library and find some books on investing and stock market history.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2006 -- Demand for skilled personal financial planners is growing. UCLA Extension, a worldwide leader in continuing education, is addressing the need for certified financial planners with two programs preparing participants to sit for the CFP® Certification Examination.

In addition to a nine-course sequence leading to a Professional Designation in Personal Financial Planning, UCLA Extension also offers an accelerated five course program leading to a Professional Designation in Personal Financial Planning.
