I need to make my money work but I don’t have enough knowledge about the topic to do smart things with it, but I love studying and learning new things.
What would you recommend to learn how to administer money in the best way possible?
I found a 2008 edition of the Finance Theory I [1] course on MIT OpenCourseWare , would it make sense to learn from there?
For context I studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science.
Also context, I am in the EU (Italy).
Others have said it, but it depends on what you are trying to do. I know NYSE, so particular recommendations may not be applicable to you.
Find a sector you believe in. If its tech you can go for something like the NASDAQ fund QQQ. If you want a little more risk/reward, follow the industry, then find who is the big players. Dont sleep on support businesses too. So if you like AI, NVIDIA is the obvious answer, but conpanies like GE Vernova who do a lot of power gen solutions for ai companies offer a growth opportunity with the industry you like, but offers a little more diversity.
If you want highest risk/reward, you want options. There are safe ways to use options and other strategies are simply chaos. But you need to do the above before you start to think about options.
Lastly, dont think wallstreetbets is your friend. You wont learn anything there
