Financial analysis chapter

Tried to make the lecture as painless as possible. Hard to do when all that's in the chapter is going over innumerable formulas and problems. The fun stuff was looking at both horizontal and vertical analysis methods. It will hopefully make sense when we do the homework next class.

Next class I'm thinking of going through the homework questions then choosing a company to do a little analysis on so you can see how I'd do the project.

I'll email out some sample writing formats and Excel analysis.

Ashely tried using a computer in class then ran out of battery half way through. Poor thing had to actually pretend to pay attention some of the time. Debye was yawning. Tune talked about tuff times at Semitool. Liz made me laugh about something. Can't remember what it was but was something about every answer is "it depends" (I think). Mary-Liz told us how many jobs there are up in Eureka. Zippo.

Homework is listed on the last post. Only addition to that would be coming to class with the company you want to analyze.
