pbpullman asked:


Government backed treasury bonds. Roth IRAs. Tax sheltered interest. I’ve heard all these terms but I haven’t a clue to what they mean. Aside from going and getting a degree in finance, can someone recommend me a book or several books that explain finances A-Z? I don’t want to become a stock broker, but I do want to be good enough that I can take my income, and know exactly how to invest it, where to invest it, how much, what the risks are, etc.

The support activities of a value chain include
firm infrastructure
human resource
technology development
procurement
but finance is missing. Don’t you think that without finance, firms can’t make and deliver products?

Nita asked:


For example, if I majored in Finance during college, what types of jobs in the healthcare industry would I be able to apply for with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business with a concentration in Finance?

What jobs would I be able to apply for if I get an MBA in Finance? Or is there such a thing as a healthcare concentration in Finance for an MBA?

Thanks!

Where can I find a good and easy to understand a finance article?

TMâ„¢ asked:


I need to summarize an article about finance. It could be about the global financial crisis. I’ve researched a lot but the article is so long and hard to understand. I need an article which isn’t complicated and so on.

It could be anything about money though.

How can I finance a car from Craigslist or a small dealer?

pillsbury09mn asked:


I want to buy a car (2002ish) from a used car lot of Craigslist for about 7k.
The problem is only the big dealerships offer the easy financing, and Craigslist and the smaller lots yield mostly to cash customers.

How could I finance a car from one of these? What’s a lending institution or something? It seems impossible!!

A specific service/website would be appreciated.

Thank you! :)
