Stanford Graduate School of Business is offering a free online course on retirement and pensions. It is an 8 week course and will cover retirement plans, investment strategies, and principles of financial economics. Professor Joshua Rauh is an excellent speaker and the graphics and references are good. Like any good teacher, he is able to distill what could be difficult subject matter and make it understandable to the average person. I think the course is going to be very worth while.
