MIT OCW has videos of their Finance Theory class online, and it's fantastic. The professor, Andrew Lo, is a great lecturer, and explains everything really well. Doesn't cover everything you're looking for, but it'd be hard to beat as a general introduction to the subject.

Not only is it interesting in its own right, but it was coincidentally recorded as the 2008/2009 financial crises was unfolding, and many of the lectures open with a few minutes of discussion about what was going on in the economy at the time. Neat to hear an econ PhD give a play-by-play on an economic meltdown.
- person_of_color 6y agoIs there something like this but fast forwarded to now?
- gnicholas 6y agoI also noticed this was from 2007/8, just as the financial crisis was getting started. I'm looking forward to watching this series and then finding some sort of update for the last decade or so. To the extent that finance professionals and investors would have taken courses like this one and learned things like this, it will be useful to have a similar foundation.
