MONEYSHOW.COM LAUNCHES NEW UNIVERSITY-STYLE COURSES WITH CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS
MoneyShow University Provides Financial Advisor Members with
Multimedia Access to CE-Eligible Courses From Industry Experts
SARASOTA, FL, July 26, 2007 – MoneyShow.com, the largest multimedia investment education destination for investors, traders, and financial advisors, announced today the addition of university-style online courses that provide members with unbiased education from Wall Street and Trading experts. Several courses allow financial advisors to earn continuing education credits through the site.
Financial advisors, now, for the first time, have access to on-demand multimedia education taught by experts in the MoneyShow University. A variety of online courses provide financial advisors with the opportunity to earn continuing education credits for a nominal fee in order to maintain specific licensing requirements. CE eligible programs include courses such as The Wealth of Nations with Ed Yardeni, Structuring Retirement Withdrawals with William Bengen, Creating Lower-Volatility Portfolios with Lou Stanasolovich, and other courses where advisors can earn up to three credits towards fulfilling their CE requirements each reporting period. Upon successful completion of the short questions after each segment, the advisors’ request for credits will be automatically submitted to the CFP Board of Standards.
“We are very pleased MoneyShow.com members can now earn CE credits on select MoneyShow University courses,” said Charles Githler, Chairman of InterShow. “This addition is necessary in order to provide financial advisor members of MoneyShow.com with valuable CE credits at a low cost.”
Since MoneyShow University’s launch in February, investors, traders and financial advisors have had access to a series of hour-long, in-depth, how-to video courses from experts, which are viewed in 15-minute segments, with questions after each segment. Courses range in level of expertise from beginner to advanced and are viewed on an on-demand basis. Representative topics currently available in the MoneyShow University include: The Secret of the Yield Curve with Deborah Weir, Options Trading Made Easy with Larry McMillan, Building a Portfolio of Dividend-Paying Utilities with Roger Conrad, The Business of Bonds with Neil George, and more than a dozen others.
