Security Analysis

INSTRUCTOR:  Leonard Soffer

CASEPACK (Yes or No?):     NO

FIRST ASSIGNMENT:

Read or review chapters 1-5 of the text as necessary.  This is background material that you may or may not need, depending on the extent of your previous training in financial analysis and accounting.  In addition, think about what company you will want to study for your quarter-long valuation project (in groups of no more than 3).  It should be a public, US-based company not in bankruptcy or danger of bankruptcy.  It should also not be your employer or former employer.  Most importantly, it should be a company that interests you.  You will have to commit to a company to study by the second class session.
