Course Description

Are you a financial or business analyst, or simply looking for an easier way to manage your stock portfolio? If so learning Python can automate financial tasks such as calculating risk, mapping market health, and visualizing a stock's price trends, saving you time and money. In this course, you’ll learn how to use Python data structures, execution control statements, and DataFrames to manipulate financial data. You will then work with pandas, using data from the Federal Reserve Bank, to explore national economic trends—an essential part of understanding investment strategies. You will also calculate risk based on stock price data, and display this data in easy to read plots. By the end of this course, you’ll be the new Python of Wall Street.
