All hitting 52-week lows, close to book value and great dividends stocks.

Like MeatLoaf said; "2 out of 3 Ain't Bad"

Intel has deep fundamental problems, just like Boeing.

The others should be good.

I've got all three of these to various degrees and watch them. I like GLW as a conservative play. It's not a home-run hitter, but it's historically been slightly beating inflation, which is all I need going forward.

I've taken it in the shorts on Shel and INTC. I rode a bunch of oil stocks down over the past five years. They've (SHEL, I mean) had a good year this year so if you include the nice dividends I'm probably close to breaking even on SHEL, which is not a win since I've had it for 5+ years. I'll keep it, but I don't plan on adding more.

I've taken a beating on INTC, but they're big in an important industry. I read an article a while back that said that they're looking bad now because they're making positive long-term investments, so I'll keep holding it. I'm not sure that I'll add to it, but maybe at some point I will.

The scary thing about INTEL is that they have been making poor strategic decisions and I don't see new ideas that can turn this giant ship around.

I get the "major investments" for the future but I'm unsure if they can change the direction as the competitors eat their lunch.

Canceled my buy on Intel- thanks for the advice.

Not investing but a finance question for all the geniuses who frequent CP!

I really need some sort of finance class/read as I work on becoming an administrator. I'm almost there and I think I'll pass my tests with a job waiting for me, but my business background is next to zero. I went to college for 7 years and never had a SINGLE, not one, business class. I am all science through and through. I have a much stronger clinical side than most administrators in healthcare but the financial side is lacking. I can read our financial reports and such but it just doesn't feel as meaningful as I think it should.

Any thoughts on a good read to start with?

Have you considered looking at courses through places like Coursera?

Never heard of it. I'll start googling.

Thanks.

I haven't done any sort of business finance class through them, but I've taken a few SQL and Python courses which were well done. It all depends on the actual provider, but they have reviews and sample content in many cases. Seems like it's around $50/month, though it's been a while.

Edx and Udemy are others I hear a lot about but haven't personally done.

Check out the Great Courses collection.

https://www.wondrium.com/lp/t3/tgc-c...xoCpH0QAvD_BwE

You can get these for free at your local library. These are college-level courses taught by experts. I have done dozens of these just to improve my general knowledge.

I would work backwards from what qualifications an administrator has and what job listings for one look like.

That may help you narrow your focus and find the best targets.

**Buehler445** · 07-13-2022, 10:05 PM

I think health care administration is a different breed of cat than like managerial accounting or corporate finance coursework.

I would look there. I looked at audible and there is some stuff there. Maybe listen to a few books in the general field to get some background and then get into the technical side.

Some of their stuff used to be free.

You're right, and it looks like it still is at a glance. I can't exactly recall why mine wasn't. It was an actual certificate program through a university, so maybe that's why it cost a little.

Regardless, I definitely prefer courses rather than books, personally. I learn a lot more when I have to do stuff with it.
