Smith Business Close-Up: Investing Advice

Thursday, September 18, 2014, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, September 21, 2014, 7:30 a.m.

Where should you put your money? For the average person, figuring out where and how to invest can be overwhelming. But if you have the right mindset, it doesn’t have to be. 

In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, host Jeff Salkin sits down with David Kass to talk about investing and how to figure out a strategy that works for you. 

Kass, a clinical associate professor of finance, has been closely following the stock market for over 50 years, since his grandfather gave him a few shares of stock when he was 12. He has published articles in corporate finance, industrial organization and health economics. He currently teaches advanced financial management and business finance. Prior to joining the faculty of the Smith School in 2004, he held senior positions with the Federal Trade Commission, General Accounting Office, Department of Defense, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
