Lots of pressure

This has been a pretty rough week so far. I have an macroeconomics quiz today, another 15% of my marketing grade will be decided tonight as I prepare the second case write up, an operations assignment due Monday, an application due on Monday for the Global Immersion Elective I am taking next semester (more details on this later), a finance homework due Tuesday and a macroeconomics group project due on Tuesday.

 

On top of all that, I am going to be in Nebraska on Monday to meet none other than the Sage of Omaha himself, Warren Buffett. This is a trip sponsored by the Finance Club. I really don’t have time to go but the way I analyze the situation, if there are investors who pay out of their own pockets to travel to Omaha to hear him speak at the annual shareholders meeting, I should be willing to pay a bit more (cost of travel plus the value of my time) for the opportunity to be meet with him, to ask him questions, and for lunch with him afterwards. I plan on asking him about his views on the efficient market theory, but I have a feeling he is going to say he disagrees with it.
