Model Thinking
If you haven’t signed up, then here is another chance. I signed up; I need all the help possible.
Hi Everyone,
Good News!!! The course ‘Model Thinking’ will go live very shortly. When it does go live, we’ll be asking you to officially register and agree to some standard terms and conditions. In the interim, you can now go to the site, at http://www.coursera.org/modelthinking/lecture/preview and watch the first two sets of lectures. The first set of lectures covers the benefits of modeling and provides a framework for the course. The second set covers Thomas Schelling’s seminar model of segregation as well as a model of standing ovations that I developed with John Miller of Carnegie Mellon University.
The full site with quizzes, discussion forums, and all the other bells and whistles will be operational very shortly. I thank you all for your patience. Enjoy the first few lectures!!
As we say in Ann Arbor… Go Blue!!!

Interesting Free Investing Newsletters and Links
Just in case you missed these:
Ask for a free quarterly newsletter by emailing: Hewitt.Heiserman@EarningsPower.com,
Ask to be on his email list: kessler@robotti.com,
and his weekly emailings:sfriedman@gmail.com There will be overlap, but you will find interesting articles, videos and value investors. Read ruthlessly, however, I don’t bother to read about Fairholme’s investment in BAC or AIG, because those companies are out of my circle of competence. Only read what benefits YOU.
