Online value investing course...

The good news is that you don't have to go through the admissions gauntlet at Stanford. 

 

I haven't heard of the instructor, but the 600+ bps outperformance versus the S&P 500 caught my eye.

Isn't it more worthwhile (and cheaper ;) ) to go through Damodaran's classes/slidesets on his site? ( http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/ )

I watched Damodaran's course series on YouTube a couple months back and thought it was very good. I think due to his target audience he is forced to blend traditional value investing with modern portfolio theory which may result in some questions from someone mostly interested in value investing. That said, the company case studies he does are excellent and it's all free which you can't beat.

I agree with the above and think it may put off many classic investors on this board. I highly respect Damodaran and am an avid reader of his blog, but I attempted to watch some of his course videos and thought he spent way too much time on stuff that really doesn't matter.
