BUSI 420 Investments takes the finance you learned in BUSI 320 and aims it at securities and portfolios. I took the course at Liberty, and I helped Liberty students through it as a tutor for three years, so I know which ideas click fast and which ones need a second pass.

Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Three credit hours, offered residential and online. The catalog describes a survey of corporate securities, financial securities, security markets, and investment and portfolio analysis and administration, with investment companies, commodity markets, and the stock exchange also examined.
BUSI 320. Valuation and the basics of stocks and dividends from that course are assumed from the first week.
Because it surveys many securities and markets, BUSI 420 covers a lot of ground. The challenge is keeping each type of security straight and knowing what a question is asking.
Portfolio and security questions start from valuation. The guides below cover that foundation, and the calculators let you check your own work.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Stocks, bonds, funds, and commodities each have their own vocabulary. We tie them to a single question, what is this worth and what does it risk, so the survey stops feeling like a list.
Risk, return, and diversification are easy to nod along to and hard to apply. We work small portfolios by hand until the idea holds on a calculator.
Survey courses test whether you can tell similar things apart. We build comparison sheets so you can separate the lookalikes quickly.
I earned an A in Investments at Liberty on my way to a summa cum laude finance degree, and I tutored Liberty finance students for three years afterward. I can't tell you your professor's exams, but I can show you how to organize the material so a survey course feels manageable.
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.
The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.

Yes. The catalog names the stock exchange, investment companies, and commodity markets, and we cover them with the rest of the course.
Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.
Tell me your course and what isn’t clicking. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
