Finance readings / Bloomberg certification

[Antonio Rodriguez]

Dear FFC,

I am so happy to hear from you guys during the summer. If by any chance you are still around Boston and want to make the most of your time/get more into finance things I recommend you take the Bloomberg Certification which is a 4 hour course that you can take at the Bloomberg terminal. It can come handy to master Bloomberg, I will take the course next week if you want to join.

If your finance nerdiness can take it, here is a list of finance books available in the library:

• A Random Walk Down Wall Street
• The Age of Turbulence- Alan Greenspan
• All About Derivatives
• The Interpretation of Financial Statements 
• Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits
• Corporate Finance
• Equity Asset Valuation
• Financial Statement Analysis and Security Valuation
• Fixed Income
• Good to Great
• The Great Crash of 1929
• Intelligent Investor
• Investment Banking Explained: Insider's Guide to the Industry
• Monkey Business
• The Origin of Financial Crises
• Quantitative Investment Analysis
• Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
• The Big Short
• The Lords of Finance
• The Warren Buffet Way

All the best,

Antonio

Dear Antonio, David, and All,

Thanks guys for the recommendation lists.

I recently discovered that Fletcher students can download books via http://library.tufts.edu. Yes, you can download the books in PDF format. For example, if you go to the Ginn website and search "private equity" and filter it as "electronic results" then you'll get to the download link (screen capture attached). Just give it a try and you'll see!

1) Wiley Online Library:

http://www.library.tufts.edu/ezproxy/ezproxy.asp?LOCATION=WaSintersciInc

2) SpringerLink: http://link.springer.com.ezproxy.library.tufts.edu/search?facet-content-type=Journal

You can get all the pricey books, such as Visual Guide to Financial Markets, Financial Modeling for Startups, Introduction to Financial Forecasting in Investment Analysis, Investment Valuation, and Project Financing; that's already roughly more than $200. It's not about saving money that I am trying to highlight. It is about accessing to the materials and maximizing the resources.

Since I haven't had the chance to share such a great common interest during the past two-years, I hope that you guys would maximize your remaining two semesters with shared passion and purpose. Let's keep in touch!

All the best,

Marcus
