Dataminds event - How data visualization can help you become a better long-term investor and Power BI roadmap session

I will be delivering a  Dataminds session together with Benni De Jagere (@BenniDeJagere) on September 29th - for registration and info see the Dataminds in-person event at Realdolmen



Below the summary of the session and a sneak peak at the opening slide (spoiler alert: investing like a sloth isn't that hard)

How data visualization can help you become a better long term investor

Summary: Whether you prefer passive investing or are more into actively managing your investments, data visualization can help you overcome the emotional biases associated with investing in the financial markets. In this session, we will explore how you can use Python, Azure and Power BI to become a better long term investor. We will start with gathering the relevant data using Python, process it with Synapse and Python, and finally finish off with building  data visualizations using Jupyter notebooks and Power BI. We will see how these visualizations can help you understand portfolio returns and risk, get a better understanding of market manias and crashes and visualize different investment strategies.

The aim of this session is not to tell you what stocks, bonds, funds or ETFs to buy but will show you how data visualization might help you not to fall for the irrational and manic-depressive characteristics of Mr. Market or other pitfalls when starting to invest.

Attendees are invited to fill in this survey (max. 5 minutes) https://ecv.microsoft.com/pteCfVQ89I – survey results will be used in the session.
