Countdown

Classes start tomorrow … You probably knew that. This calls for the final countdown. The Swede in me could not pass this up at all. I know I will regret this in the very near future, but the Swedish chef would have said it as follows. Clesses stert tumurroo … Yuoo prubebly knoo thet. Thees cells fur zee feenel cuoontdoon. Zee Svede-a in me-a cuoold nut pess thees up et ell. Bork Bork Bork! To satisfy your Borking needs, here is a link for more … Bork unteel tumurroo.

First email – before the start of the semester

Before the beginning of the fall semester, I want to share some information regarding the course with you. 

For general information about the class, you find the syllabus at http://financialblog.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/20060801-f06-370-syllabus.pdf

Many of you want to find a cheap textbook for the course.  If you want to order the book before the semester from an online book-seller, the textbook we will use is Higgins’ Analysis for Financial Management, 8th ed.

You will find the best prices for the book at

Apart from the textbook, you will also need a financial calculator and a set of cases as well. You will find the best prices for the calculator at

Unfortunately, you can buy the cases only at the bookstore.

The first day of class is Aug 23rd, when I also tell you about the class and other aspects that the syllabus and the information that you can gather do not cover.  Also, at our first meeting, you will receive a comprehensive set of lecture notes for the semester.
