Re: Finance homework questions help
Can we lock these incredibly annoying threads, mods? Tks.
Dude, stop cheating and learn something. If you have no idea for 3, you should really switch majors. |

Re: Finance homework questions help
okay. Finance isn't my major. It's just a required class. I am leaning more heavily to C for question 3.

Dude, stop cheating and learn something. [/ QUOTE ] dont be an @ss. i see no cheating here. OP is asking for help, and if you want to flame so badly go to bbv. OP 1 and 2 look okay. for 3 you should be able to find an equation in your text to solve that. key word there is dividend yield. and remember you have to discount the cashflows. 4 im not sure on. |

Re: Finance homework questions help
ok, ill be honest. I get really pissed off about these homework threads too. I feel the OP should STFU and read the textbook because these are [censored] easy questions. But as a mod im not goin to lock a thread because I dont like it. Im only going to lock it is it pisses alot of the regular F&I posters off. Iv asked this before though and noone but me minded. Now its clear that Naj hates this stuff too. So if others find this clutter annoying in this forum, speak now or forever hold your peace.

It adds nothing to the forums, and is simply a way to get others to do your work, imho. People on the strat forums don't go around posting all the questions in Harrington's book, or every endgame in Benko's endgame texts on POG, etc. It's one thing to ask, "Why is the equity premium x%" because then all can have a discussion about it - some may say it should be zero, others 10, whatever. It's learning for most here. Posts like the OP are just inane. Read the freakin' textbook, kid. Go to class. Ask a classmate. Ask the teacher. Get a tutor. Ask an upperclassman. |

Re: Finance homework questions help
Ahnuld and I decided we'll be locking threads like this. The basic rule, as it's always been on 2+2, is that you shouldn't use the forums as a replacement for Google. Threads are meant to foster discussion, not achieve one off answers.
If you post a homework question that is interesting and thought provoking that's fine. As a rule of thumb though, multiple choice questions are rarely going to qualify. |
