Corporate finance midterm
Well, Yesterday was the midterm for a UC extension class on "Basic Corporate Finance" that I am taking. The exam was pretty straightforward except for some True or False questions regarding transaction costs as they relate to market efficiency and CAPM assumptions.
I have been enjoying this basic class - it dwells on basic issues of investments as well as corporate finance. Looks like MFE program would also offer an introductory class on Corporate finance (in January alongwith Math and Programming class), so I will have to weigh whether I need that extra class or not!!
In other news, all this news of global inflation and rising interest rates (with a possibility of recession, coupled with real-estate bubbles crashing due to changes in tax laws) is not bringing me much joy, especially since I want the market to be upbeat when I graduate and am looking for jobs. Comments?

Probably not a coincidence that the questions I felt least confident about were those same two, the ones that dealt with transaction costs.
I've been enjoying the class also--a nice gentle intro to finance for us.
Kenshin,
yes I am in the same class... but I havent been to class last week or will this week, since I am away on business...
