Hi Dr Thomppkins, I came across your page after searching to understand more about finance and wanted to say that your videos are some of the best I've seen on teaching the subject. Curiously, I wanted to know the software you use to record your presentations? It seems your presentations are really clear and efficient.
God bless you Dr. James “Domestic vs International Finance, James Tompkins @ 15:23”. May I request for an example of the cost that increases (for companies) just because people would buy the new issuance at lower price? I understand that sustained stock price is good indication that the company will be able to meet DEBT requirements and as s a result, it will receive cheaper DEBT financing through a lower interest rate. But I believe that @ 15:23 you are not referring to "interest cost".
+عبدالواجد عظیم Thank you. I prefer not to answer questions on You Tube because it robs others of the thought process. Having said that I will try to point you in the right direction. Imagine a risk increasing event happens such as the World Trade Center attacks. What would you expect to happen to (for example) Apple's stock price? Given your answer, if Apple now wanted to raise $1M worth of capital by selling stock, would they have to sell more shares or fewer shares? Given your answer, was it therefore more costly to Apple to raise the $1M or less costly given the number of shares they had to give up?
Thanks Dr. James. Your response was well understood. Personalities like yours are real assets for society. May God give you healthy longer life. Kindly keep contributing....
Thank you Mr Tompkins for your valuabe lectures. I need a textbook to accompany your vidoes, would you inform and recommend the textbook's titles and the authors?
You are welcome. Regarding a textbook, regretfully I have not found an International Finance textbook that I like. They are either written in a "plug and chug" fashion regarding formulas and/or written in a manner that makes the material unnecessarily complex. In short, I like concepts and formulas built on understanding (not memorization) and I like "simple". When I assign a textbook, it is only as a reference tool rather than a roadmap that we follow in class.
just like to add that if anyone is interested in the arguments of "fairness" in relation to economics and ethics check out some of the Frankfurt school publications on social inequality/financial discrepancies and exploitation. Good stuff.

mattz jefter Great!

+Understanding Finance I strongly support your opinion about understanding rather than memorizing.
