Econometrics is a core class for finance majors . I took 2 of them in my master's program. I liked the challenge.

CAPM is a model and can be used with either time-series data or cross-sectional data or panel-data, etc…

If you're planning on applying to top grad schools, you need the highest GPA possible. Strategically choosing classes where the prof is not an "everybody gets a B- or below" type is important. Are there profs in undergrad days who say "everybody gets a B- or below" ?? Oh yeah. Yes. 100%. If you're not applying to grad school, then sure, don't spend any time finding out which profs make the subject too difficult to perform well. By the way, 'perform well' is NOT MERIT-BASED. I can create a math test of nothing but addition and subtraction, give it to 100 top Ph.D.s from Berkeley, MIT, and so on, and FAIL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. Test design is the process you can use to target how to shape the grade outcomes of students who take your class. Unfortunately, as an undergrad student in a major at a top university that rejected 95% of applicants for that major, I'm here to tell you that there ARE profs who say "everybody gets a B- or below" - that type of Prof is OUT THERE. So if you're planning to apply to grad school, do NOT fail to be strategic in course selection. WHY? Because you can learn a subject like Econometrics on your own. You can learn most subjects on your own, if you have the interest - because if you have the interest, you have the motivation. Do NOT sacrifice your undergrad GPA by failing to pay attention to how upper-division courses are conducted. Talk to fellow students who have already taken classes you're considering. Getting accepted to a top grad school can be important. . .

you cannot quantify greed or human emotion. statistical analysis is dead. the only game in town is to wait for the collapses or to stick with the name brands. everything else is a crapshoot

Assuming this is satire, but if anyone you know is capable of claiming that “statistical analysis is dead”, it’s time to run.
