Principles of Corporate Finance

I will join to a class of corporate finance from December. I look for it. Because I never learn it until now.

I bought a class book that it's the Principles of Corporate Finance at Amazon. Of course, it was translated Japanese. But I bought another one in English. I want to learning it in English.

Passed my certification exam

Last year, I took a class for a problem-solving skill, and I completed it. This time, I passed my certification exam(経営管理指導士 ３級).

Passing the exam was a very happy occasion for me, but it is not the end. I want to do a breakthrough in my life. I think that now I come to the crossroad. I must keep learning.

International Transactions in Securities

The chart below is Japan's international transactions in securities.
From 15-Mar to 9-Mar, non-residents sold about 99 billion yen of equity securities!! In this year, they were selling for weeks equity securities and Japanese Stock market are falling. It is attribute to the credit crunch by the US subprime mortgage crisis.

Almost all my asset management investment are Japanese securities. So my asset are falling too.

Finished a Report for Business Skils

I finished a report for the business skills. I'm happy! I only wait for the passing status.

In fact, I started to get in the habit of learning. But the class is challenging to learn. So, I was able to keep it going.
The most difficult of to learn was to make time. Because, There are a lot of over time and business trip. But, latter half of the year, I had a lot of my time.

I think that I became more effective in my use of time. It's good thing.

Web Application

Do you use a web application? Rubicon Consulting of the American consulting company reported growth of web applications. Below the article and the chart are part of report.

I regularly use some web applications.
The first is web mail that is Gmail. As you know, it is very useful. Especially, Gmail's space is about 3G bytes of free storage. And I use the mail anywhere.
The second is a blogging. The third is a finance.

I think that web applications expand more to need two things. The first is to accommodate mobile phone. Because, young people are going away from PC. Instead of it, they use a mobile phone.
The second is security. This report said.

----------------------------------
80% of US home PC users say they have heard of web applications. More than half of them have tried at least one web app, and more than a third — 37% — say they use at least one web application on a regular basis.

That means use of web applications has already spread far beyond the 16% of the population traditionally identified as innovators and early adopters. Web applications are entering the mainstream of US PC users.

Logical Thinking

I've learned the business skill on the Web. There is Logical thinking one of the classes.

If you think logical. You have to think along two rules.

One is the Deduction rule.
Deduction: Thee process of using information you have in order to understand a particular situation or to find the answer to a problem.

Two is the the Induction rule.
Induction: A method of discovering general rules and principals from particular facts and examples.

I think that it is very important. I want to learn more.
