Hello everyone. Great news - I’m alive and doing well in Spokane, Washington. It’s been quite a hectic last two months with the move from Los Angeles and reading this thousand page monstrosity.
My secret campaign to fool the business people into thinking I’m one of them continues. Raised an engineer, I understand a little about engineering and even less about finance. I know I need to make sure our projects are attached to revenue, but that’s about it. I want to talk to business people in their language, so I read this.
It has been a great read through:
1. Valuation and Capital Budgeting
2. Risk
3. Capital Structure and Dividend Policy
4. Long-Term Financing
5. Options, Futures, and Corporate Finance
6. Short-Term Finance
7. M&A, Financial Distress, and International Corporate Finance
Let’s just say now I know what a shareholder is. I also have a much better understanding of options available to me in the world of finance. I’m rather pleased to be following finance conversations in real-time now versus taking mental notes and catching up later.
