Fundamental Market Analysis with Python

This course covers the critical fundamental indicators to help navigate the financial markets and answer your own questions without relying on the opinion of others. Learn to find your way around the chaotic world of the financial markets.

Whether you are a trader, a financial analyst, a data scientist, or just a curious person that wants to be informed, this class is for you. I will show you where to get free and reliable data, how to analyze and plot that data using Python and Jupyter notebooks (I do expect you to know a little python).

We’ll start with the S&P 500, my favorite index and the world’s economic barometer. This powerful and telling index comprise some 80% of all equity market value in the United States and 30% of its revenue comes from outside the US. If you only have time for one fundamental indicator - this is the one! We’ll continue by exploring the VIX, the Yield Curve, The Case-Shiller Home Price Index, the CPI, PMI, BCI and much more.
