I've got a lot of free time this week, am feeling charitable/guilty, and have a few ideas in mind for what I'd like to share with you guys... but would like to hear what the monkeys would be most interested in reading about. So here's some suggestions, and feel free to comment with any others you think would be worth going into detail about.
1) Making the Most of Your Meeting with Management
2) Corporate Governance and Why It's More Important To Investing Than You May Think
3) The Many Faces of Activist Shareholders
4) The Art of Idea Generation, and Why Wall Street Sucks At It [UPDATE: Winner! Look for post this weekend.]
5) GARPing - What's Wrong with Paying 20x Earnings?
6) Other
Comment below on what sounds the most interesting to you, or if Other, suggest something you'd like to hear about. I'm not the world's best resource for recruiting or admissions or anything lifestyle-related, but I can do my best on something like that if everyone's interested. But I've always felt there's been a gaping hole in the actual "how-to" aspect of public equity investing on WSO. Though to be fair, it's not an easy task putting into words your investing process, or even the process in generic terms.
Anyway, let's hear what you guys got!
It's decided then, I suppose - I will shoot for #4 sometime this week, end of the weekend at the latest if I can make it happen.
On the comments re: #2 (Corporate Governance)... in my original post I was going to note that this was by far the most valuable of the topics I mentioned to learn about, glad to hear a few people would be interested. I will make it a point to get something about that topic in another post sometime soon.
