Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The first thing you need to know is that the Standard Deviants, a cast of ebullient young performers who typically present review guides to serious subjects in a decidedly unorthodox manner, actually bill this video as the "Wild and Wacky World of Finance." It's not, however, all fun and games, as we are talking real money (and some very technical calculations), and the outline of study is quite substantial, compiled with the help of reliable academic advisers. Beginning with the basics, types of businesses (sole proprietorships, partnerships, and such) are explained, tax issues are covered, and the role and goals of a financial manager are explained. Stock market principles, such as earnings per share, are explained, as is the minimization of risk. A basic premise behind the Standard Deviants approach to learning is that jokes are good and bad jokes are particularly memorable, so the lessons in finance are replete with bizarre characters and horrendous jokes. For instance, the young performers take on the roles of stockholders as well as particular officers of a corporation (down to donning pirate clothes and the obligatory eye patches) to demonstrate how a modern corporation is structured. This video isn't intended as a substitute for a class in finance, but it will help students remember critical principles, and to that extent it's a very credible, if admittedly offbeat, study guide. --Robert J. McNamara

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally disagree - it was really good, May 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Standard Deviants: Finance, Part 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I thought it was a fun review of all the critical topics in finance. I went on to buy the other 2 as well. Standard Deviants are really helpful to me. I would recommend them to anyone needing help.
