Using Programming for Fundamental Investing - Intro and Python

This is the first video in the series for using programming to aid fundamental investing analysis, showing you where to first acquire the basic tools needed to begin. The idea is to use programming to help you find possible and eligible companies for further consideration.

This entire series focuses on using programming specifically for value investing, just as an example to use throughout the video.

Definitely, this is the best youtube channel...

You're an American hero, and a national treasure.

Excellent Videos! I've used Matlab in my degree and I feel way behind now seeing how valuable Python is for almost everything. Your Python Tutorials are excellent for kickstarting my Python addiction!

Wow, you are my hero! Really glad I found your youtube, alot of this info is hard to find in one spot. Thanks for doing all of these.

Harrison, I found this playlist extremely valuable. Any chance that you are thinking about updating it? Thanks so much!

[francislambert]

Very useful for saving time and money!$ I have found that Python Programming has been able to help me with much of what I look for on the Net. Thank YOU!

Hello sentdex. You do a great job. I hope someone hired you and appreciates your passion for Python and programming in general. I have a tech background and have studied the stock market too, so I really love this and want to make it. After using a couple of editors I really prefer line numbers, one that keeps my code in proper indent order being that Python 2.7 idle yelled at me earlier today which was time consuming and annoying lol, and I need one that will allow me to raise the font size. I'm going through your other Python course right now and then found these videos.

Would you please help me write a program that I could integrate with any editor that would allow me to raise the font size? I can't see screens like PyCharm, PyScripter. Cntl++ are my bffs but they don't work inside the editor. One has a zoom but it doesn't do any good. I search all over in programs for the configuration to raise the font size all the time and I'm sure there are many out there who need the same solution too. I don't want to lower my resolution of course so please help me out.

I love your courses and yes you should be paid for all that you contribute. I'll be glad to contribute as soon as I have an income again and am relying on getting back into programming. I want to create several platforms (games, apps, etc) of study guides for CompTIA tests.

Hello Thank you very much and i really like and appreciate all your video. Perhaps, this is running horribly slow in my virtual as well windows python environment. Is it something that can be done to improve like adding into DB or something like that?

[johnstreety]

I am trying to put together a screener with fundamental data as well as technical data. I love the fundamental data tutorials you have, but am confused about which technical analysis tutorials I should use. Will you please tell me any suggestions you might have about my potential screener?

What are the odds you could update this series?

[ahmedJaber]

Hey do you have resources for such topic in R programming?

[herbertvaughn]

MAN..ur great! I'm stuck on this site. I think I luv u man...lol

[frankchen]

Thank you for the great video tutorials! Is there any plan to do an update version with Python 3?

[mrbighit]

Great series, could you create a playlist out of the fundamental series videods? Thanks.

[justinvaughn]

Hey there sentdex....

any big differences between using 3.6 and 2.x here?

[ptahX]

This is a great series -- thank you for your time !! I'm working through the videos (and just learning to program for the first time) It seems that in 3.4.2 the urllib2 module is no longer available .. is there another module that I can load that will do the same thing? or is there another way to go about calling up urllib2 import urlopen and realted?

Do you have a playlist for the sentiment analysis programming that you do?
