I have now subscribed to the Wall Street Journal!

[Sanis Prent]

Woohoo! :D

I feel so....corporate!

I may just go and buy me a tie, too!

[Mia Dillon]

And shiny shoes?

[Sanis Prent]

I have shiny shoes already :)

[Mia Dillon]

That's half of what you need to own a large money-sucking company!

Remember the little people:)

[Sanis Prent]

I will, as I grind them under my corporate heel >D

[Mia Dillon]

No, no, no, that's what an incompetant secretary is for, you don't do the reeaaaally dirty work.

*appoints herself secretary of the new money-sucking corporation.*

:D

You're like a monkey in glasses, trying to look smart.








j/k ;)

Sooooo, why? :)

[Sanis Prent]

I'm majoring in Finance, and my 302 professor strongly suggested getting a subscription. That, and he usually goes over 2-3 articles each day in class. In addition, reading regularly should give me some bit of industry know-how which is good to have in job interviews.

[Mia Dillon]

I would have preffered orangutan in contacts but that'll do:)

[ReaperFett]

You just walk in and spurt words ONLY a man in finance or business knows :)

"Fiscal! FTSE! Cash Cow! Liquidation! Conglomerate!"
"You're hired!"
"...For what?"

:D

[Sanis Prent]

Mergers and acquisitions, hostile takeovers, IPO's, securities, venture capitalism, return on equity, asset turnover, profit margin, hedge funds, PP&E, stockholder rate of return, price to book ratio

:D

I'm in like Flint!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

So you've subscribed.....


..yes, but will you read it? ;)

[Sanis Prent]

Reading it now :)

[Taylor Millard]

And I MIGHT be getting a subscription for my b-day. :)

Yes I'll read it too. :)

[ReaperFett]

Youll just look at the pretty pictures ;)

[Taylor Millard]

Umm...the issues I've seen of the Journal have like 2 pictures in it.

But great Op-Ed stuff. :)

Im having bad accounting class flashbacks

[Figrin D'an]

I've never taken any accounting classes and I understood that...

Whether or not that is a good thing is very much a debatable matter...

[Sanis Prent]

Yeah right now, we're talking alot about venture capitalist firms, and underwriters, which essentially have to convert what a company's equity value per share is, according to the books, and then either maximize it by buying up treasury stock, such as venture capitalists do, or take a new and/or privately-traded company, and adjust the same ratios for an IPO on the stock market, which is where the underwriters come into play.

I love this stuff :)

[Ishiva Ruell]

I need to resubscribe myself, excellent newspaper with very interesting articles... market/investing related or not.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I'm going to get a subscription to Rolling Stone.
