As you may know, I have been putting in some hours toward an MSF degree with New England College of Business and Finance over the last year or so. I thought this might be a reasonable place to display a few short papers I have worked on over that time. I have selected three:
The first is a short exploration of AIG, its collapse, and its post-crisis existence.
The second is a summary of arguments on the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve, with special emphasis on arguments for a “gold standard.”
The third is an investment analysis of AutoZone, Inc. (I have no AZO position.)
Feel free to let me know what you think.
(June 2013) I have added two other projects completed over the course of my MSF program to incorporate a broader body of work:
Completed early in the program, this paper is a somewhat quantitative and somewhat qualitative exploration of investment philosophy, in the form of a fictional pension fund looking for better risk-adjusted return.
And as a part of my very last class, this Excel spreadsheet was an economic analysis of financing versus leasing a new luxury automobile.
As always, feel free to contact me with comments.
