I took finance in college but really would like to take my understanding further. Does anyone know of any decent material out there to get started? I will be getting my mba next spring and think I may want to concentrate in finance but want to see if I have the chops for it first.

Which reminds of a Steven Wright joke:

"I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"

She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

"If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?"

"Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before."

"I have an inferiority complex. But it's not a very good one."

"I put instant coffee in a microwave oven. I went back in time."

A woman came up to me and said your socks dont match. I said yes they do. I don't go by color, I go by thickness.

Read the WSJ. Do they still have it free in the hall at the business school? Financial Times, too.

He has a lot of great quotes. If there is one that might have a money board theme:

"I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly"

It's hysterical to me how many people want to reinvent the wheel with finances when 95+% of it hasn't changed since the 1800s.

I consult Graham's book before pretty much every single major financial decision I make.
