Dear Professor James Forjan, you don't know me, but in the past months you've been an important part of my days. I'm a brazilian with a degree in architecture, and decided to pursue the CFA to get in the investment industry. For the past 7 months or so, i have watched daily your videos an all available topics. Not only were you an amazing teacher, explaning the concepts very clearly, but also an amazing person, making the process of learning much more interesting, funnier, and even giving some important life advice. I love the way you talk about your mother in some videos, and wherever she is, she is proud of the man you became. Today, I'd like to share with you that I just received an e-mail, stating that I passed level 1, above 90th percentile, without prior finance and maths knowledge, and in was in many ways thanks to you and your videos. You may not realize it while recording from Canada, but your lessons truly have a worldwide impact, Thank you for it!

No. The weighted average is more appropriate to use in this case. The arithmetic mean is actually closer to the actual mean. The harmonic mean used in this case is a misapplication because you have different amounts of investments used in different periods

Hi, great video! I have a question regarding the Harmonic mean. You mentioned that the it takes into account the amounts invested in the example ($2000, $3000, $4000), however the solution only takes into account the price of the shares. Therefore if the amounts invested were different, the answer would have remained the same as the above mentioned amounts were not used in the calculation? Am I missing something?
Not trying to be too picky but you often assume you're talking to people who have (or are getting) a degree in finance. I do not have that background so many times, these "elementary" ideas are new to me. Comments that suggest I should already know this material are both discouraging and unhelpful. But I like your videos, so I appreciate the content and it is (for the most part) helpful.

Hello, I did not quite get the solution for real return. Why did we ignore the rest of the stuff?
I'm confused. In 51:43. (1 + real return) = (1+ Nominal risk free rate).... ???
Thanks a lot for your tutorial.

Is the answer of harmonic mean correct? Can we still use the same formula when we are not using fixed amount of investment?
No. The weighted average is more appropriate to use in this case. The arithmetic mean is actually closer to the actual mean. The harmonic mean used in this case is a misapplication because you have different amounts of investments used in different periods
For the Time-Weighted Return Example at 40:00, shouldn't the Time-Weighted Return be 17.5%? It's 17.4675% which should be rounded up, right?
yea

If you can't understand - it means, this is far ahead of you.

Hello
How did you come up with 0.97 in the Geometric mean return?
1-.03
Is there any way we can calculate the annualized return example (Bond A 120 days, Bond B 8 months..) on ICONV?
