Meeting Wednesday August 27th at 6PM in Koelbel 210
|
|
This will be a general meeting which may include short speaker presentations.
The primary purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for you to meet other
students pursuing the certificate. Food will be available. Please attend the
meeting, even if only for a short period. We will be having more meetings of
this type and they may become mandatory if attendance lags. |

Seminar Courses
|
As many of you know, the Investment Management Seminar which I plan to teach
has been moved to the spring semester. This will make it easier for juniors
to apply. I will be adding info on this to the program website.
The Investment Banking Seminar will remain in the fall and is not full at this
time. I encourage any interested students to apply to Ron Melicher or Chris
Leach as soon as possible. Juniors who are well along in their coursework can
apply as well. The class meets 3:30 - 6:00PM on Wednesdays. |

Wall Street Trek
|
The trip to NYC to visit Wall Street firms will happen earlier this year -- late in
September (23rd to 26th). Seniors and juniors can apply. My personal belief is that it
will be particularly useful for juniors. Get the specifics from Mary Banks. The application
deadline will be just after classes start. You can and should apply now!
Last year, 15 students took the trip and all thought it was an extremely useful experience.
Mary Banks, Dean Ahlburg and at least two faculty members will accompany the students. |

Trading Desk Experience
|
|
I visited Tristone Capital earlier this summer. Tristone is a boutique investment bank/trading
firm in the Energy sector. They have an official and trading desk in Denver (Tabor Center).
They generously offered to allow select students to sit on the desk for a day to get a feel
for a trading desk. Interested juniors and seniors should let me know if interested. Tristone
will be looking for interns as well. |

Grader
|
|
I will be looking for a grader for simple grading of Wall Street Journal assignments for my
Investments and Portfolio Management sections (FNCE 4030). If you have taken the course and
are amazing, let me know. |

Research and Presentation Opportunity
|
|
Because we moved the Investment Management Seminar course to the spring semester,
students from the course will not be able to make presentations at the Burridge
conference during the first week in November. The conference typically has about
80-100 attendees made up of academics and practitioners in the investment field.
Professor Mike Stutzer is the director of the Burridge Center and is still interested
in at least one student presentation at the conference. Professor Stutzer has offered
to oversee a research project to prepare a student to make a presentation at the
conference, possibly for course credit. This will require a significant effort, but
the presentations at the conference have proven to be very fruitful for students in
the past. Interested juniors and seniors should contact Professor Stutzer directly at
Michael.Stutzer@colorado.edu. |
