Feb. 25, 2008 classWishes for future classes • More quantitative problems in class • Deal with class heterogeneity • More examples • Give a break in the middle of the class • Speak slower • More detailed explanations • Don’t ask questions! • Ask clearer questions
Significant question remaining from this class • How will all this come together? • How do I value different tranches of a CDO? • A step-by-step start to finish valuation of a company • What to look for when calculating beta • What to look for when reviewing a 10-K • What is a cashflow?
Midterm and rest of course • Performance on Midterm worse than expected – but situation is redeemable • Despite of uneven coverage of topics in FIN 320, need to know preliminaries • Goal is still to learn about valuation and write valuation report • Need to consider this more than a course – preparation for job market • You need to be pro-active!
