Freebies

I have four boxes of old CFA examination study materials and finance journals outside of my office (631). If anyone is interested, please stop-by to peruse the items. At the end of the week, I will take the boxes to the library for donation and recycling.

Posting schedule

Let me know how you are doing with your book posts and when you plan on making the final post. You can contact me by commenting to this post.

Book Reviews

Just fyi. You will publish your book reviews on this blog. We can make the review available to current and future PhD students so they can benefit and build upon your work. Enjoy the reading. The best time of my life was when I had the opportunity to think about this stuff.

Books

Hum, I could not find your mailbox so I put three books in Sanjukta mailbox. I thought that one person could take the larger "Economist" book and the other person could take the remaining two books.

Book assignment

I have the new Bernstein books for Hum and Sanjukta. I will put them in your mailboxes before I leave tonight.

I sent a separate e-mail invitation to you to join this blog. This might be useful for keeping in touch in regards to the REAE doctoral minor.
