Reminder: New Format Requested this week
While the format is to be changed thisweek, you are still required to make 3 postings; one original post and comment on two other student's post.
ORIGINAL POST REQUIREMENTS:

1) (Apply Marketing techniques to:) create an interesting, unique or otherwise attractive catch line (humor works great for me!) as your post title.

3)(Use your corporate report to:) provide certain and specific quantitative analysis of your company. DON"T repeat your entire report....but provide highlights.....as some examples:

Expenses dropped....by 15%
Shareholder equity
(highlights mean "outlyers" of data.....especially NEGATIVE information
4) (Use some economics learned....predict macro and micro "futures")..... describe what Macro world events have affected your company (global eco slow-down....price of oil) .....even micro events (consumption among consumers was down due to....)provide sensitivities for world events on your corporation and how it will affect that company's future activities. Provide predictions about future macro economic events and how your company will react going forward.
5) DON"T ALWAYS BE KIND TO YOU COMPANY...don't always be biased or "pro" the company.
