The videos below will be part of a free online course on personal finance to be offered by BerkeleyHaas through edX in spring 2016. Some of the videos refer to materials that will be available in that course but are not yet ready. When I have a start date for the course, I will post it on odean.org. Here are links to videos I've made organized by four topics.

Investing; Saving, Spending, Credit, and Debt; Insurance; and Retirement.

This site is a beta test. I'm still working on these videos and do not intend them to available to the general public yet. I welcome constructive comments and suggestions regarding content as well as production delivery. Please send your comments to me at: odean@berkeley.edu. If you could write 'Comments on videos' in the subject line, that will help me. Please mention if you are a finance professional (e.g., CFA, financial advisor, finance professor).

Thank you.
