Today marks the beginning of week nine. After this week, we will have a two-week group project, and then we’re free from this class. Just because we’re getting closer to the end in no way means that the work gets easier. This week, we have to do our final individual project which investigates the fair market value ...

I finally received my grade on my final report for
Managerial Finance. I made an 86% on
it. You wouldn’t believe what I got “gigged”
on. I used conversational English as I
frequently do, even here I suppose and I kept using the phrase “Let’s take the
example of…” or some ...

That title goes out to all of you Star-Trek fans out there (dorks). Seriously though, this is the last and most ominous week of the series for Managerial Finance. So far I have a 94% for the class and I just finished all of the discussion questions. That leaves the final. I’ve decided to take the next 5 days of work off for a ...

I am now waist deep in my week 5 and final case study for this class. This one is basically about market efficiencies, managed funds vs. non-managed trading, etc. It’s kind of neat in that there are no hard and fast rules and there is a lot of psychology involved. It also puts into perspective the effects and consequences ...

It’s week 5 in Managerial Finance and so far all is
well. I started playing guitar again
this last week and we’ve almost got all of our boxes unpacked. My garage is full of crap but at least now I
have a living room and a couch to sit on.
I will be building a home office/music room soon. That is once I ...

It’s week three in the Bat Cave of Managerial Finance. I think it’s pretty sad that I am counting the weeks (and sometimes the days) until this class is over. I turned in my work from last week and it was graded very quickly. I got a 100% on it, and the professor said it was the best in the class. How cool is ...

I logged in last night to my Blackboard account and clicked on my “grades” portion of the menu. Honestly I was dreading looking at them because I struggled so much with week 3 that I was almost certain that I had failed miserably. As it turns out I made 100% on everything which is a shock. I don’t even know why ...

Now I remember why I don’t like finance. It gives me a headache! This is week two of Managerial Finance. This week we are reviewing the contents and meaning of a firm's income statement and balance sheet. We’re also looking very carefully at how to compute a firm's cash flows from a finance perspective, which ...

I submitted my assignment and completed my discussion questions ending week 3 of Managerial Finance. I have to tell you folks, this was one of the roughest weeks I’ve experienced since beginning my MBA program. I knew there would be weeks like this and I thought I had prepared myself mentally for it before even starting the ...

Can you hear that flushing sound? Not to worry, it’s not a ghost using your toilet, oh no, it’s the sound of my aspired to GPA of 4.0 being flushed downed the proverbial crapper. As I write this blog post I am about 50% complete with week 3’s assignment and 100% lost. It’s not that I cannot do the ...

Entering week 3 things are looking positive for me in this class thus far. I have not received my week 2 grades back yet, they should be up on Thursday, but I feel pretty good about my work this week. Week 1 I didn’t really have much confidence and still made 100% so that helps. If week 2 turns out the same way I’ll ...

I popped in tonight on the Ashford University Discussion Board all ready to spend a couple of hours answering a Discussion Question then going to bed. Well the problem is, the discussion question seems to be a series of concept questions in the book which must be answered before you have all of the pertinent information to answer the ...

Today I checked to see if my final worth 35% of my grade had been posted with a score and you wouldn’t believe it, but I made 100% on it. It’s the only 100% I’ve gotten on a final since, well I think ever. I couldn’t believe that I even got all of the numbers and applied concepts correct over the span of about ...
-
I have a confession to make. I’m not good at finance. In fact in the financial evolutionary scale of intelligence, I’m somewhere near an amoebic life form with a penchant for self procreation. Seriously, I’m looking at our discussion question this week and trying to determine what an investor sees by studying ...

This class is the last of my MBA core requirements and the last class of what is the roughest patch of getting an MBA. The stretch of courses that all students and grads dread and tell horror stories about. The quantitative courses, in this case 4 in a row at 6 weeks each for a grand total of 24 grueling weeks of hard time and ...

Today is my first day of Managerial Finance. So far it is the usual lighthearted stuff like introducing yourself on the bulletin board and wishing each other luck. My expectations for this class are somewhat minimal as I am learning that none of these classes turn out exactly as I have expected. Case in point, Organizational ...
