Well, the first week is done. Since my last post, I had my first investment, and ethics classes. I also had my first meeting for the Shollmier fund. I considered it more of a meeting, rather than a class, because it seems like there will be more discussing among the group, rather than lecturing from the professor. But let me back up a little. The finance track within the Walton MBA allows us to actually manage a real portfolio of assets. This is not fake money, this is the real deal. We are actually going to be creating our own asset allocation and managing our own portfolio. It will be an excellent chance to get some real world experience in portfolio management. This was a major reason I choose the finance tack over marketing, entrepreneurship and supply chain, where else would I get the chance to learn how to manage a large portfolio such as the Shollmier fund? Probably no where. It is going to be a great resume builder.
Steph and I tried a new restaurant today, it is called Little Bread Co . It was excellent. They bake all their own bread and serve delicious sandwiches. Also, their desserts are pretty ridiculous, in a good way. They had cookies as big as my head.
