There Are No Shortcuts in Investing: Nobel Laureate William Sharpe

Nobel Laureate William F. Sharpe explains how futile it is to read sure-thing investing books or watch the latest financial guru to find easy answers on weathering the financial crisis or filling the holes in your portfolio.

Sharpe is the Stanco 25 Professor of Finance Emeritus and Nobel Laureate.

Part of a series discussion on "Stanford Pioneers in Science", a program sponsored by Stanford Continuing Education.

Interviewed by Paul Costello, communication and public affairs director, School of Medicine
