In an effort to advance online distance learning, MIT has launched a site called MIT OpenCourseWare. The site provides the course materials -- lectures, assignments, exams, notes, etc. -- for almost every single course the Massachusetts Institute of Technology currently offers. The is no cost and no registration. You can simply browse through the course materials. There is something there for everyone but investment-minded folks in particular might want to browse through the course materials for these courses:

Economic Applications of Game Theory

Financial Management

Real Estate Finance and Investment

Some of the courses have more content than others. Some include transcripts of the lectures, while others just include notes. One of the most helpful features is probably the reading list that is available for each course.

Several other universities also offer Open Education Resources, including UC Berkeley, Tufts, Utah State, and many others. OER Commons at http://www.oercommons.org offers a way to search across many of these resources. The OpenCourseWare Consortium has a list of institutions around the world that offer OpenCourseWare at http://www.ocwconsortium.org/use/index.html.
