Swiss Finance Academy Journal Day 6

Well, it's back to the grindstone after a wonderful trip to Milan yesterday. This week seems a little more relaxed with Sanjay opening up the morning with good and insightful anecdotes wrapped in the occasional joke or two. This week we'll be learning all about Mergers and Acquisitions, the likes of which I have no clue about so it should be interesting.

Our new teacher, Sris Chitterjee, definitely knows his stuff and will be quite a valuable resource for any questions we as a class may have regarding this new material. I guess what I really learned today was the magnitude of buyouts and mergers that actually take place around the globe. I really only thought the ones that were reported on the news were the only company takeovers that actually take place. The reality is that hundreds of mergers happen probably ever month by companies around the world that I have no idea about.

Lastly, we play soccer today as the SFA guys rallied and organized some teams for a little fun before dinner. It was awesome and our team won twice in a row, but lost the third game due to my absence :P Or at least that's what I'd like to think...
