The class will meet at 2 PM on Sunday in University Hall.

We will be holding the first Introduction to Options class on Sundays at 2PM. For the first class, we will hand out the syllabus and go over what options are, what they are used for, and why you should know about them. The course will run from now until the end of the quarter and cover topics such as option pricing, trading strategies, and how you can go about using options. We will be using the software thinkorswim to demonstrate how to trade options, so please go to http://www.thinkorswim.com and download their software if you want to follow along or use it to execute your own trades–it is a very good piece of software.

Please e-mail one of the FSG directors if you have further questions.

The Principles of Finance final exam will be held this Sunday at 4PM in Swift Hall 107. Remember, only those who have come to at least 5 out of the 6 classes are eligible to take the exam.

You can find more information and a study guide in the Members’ Only section.

The first Principles of Finance class is this Sunday, October 7th at 4 PM. It will be held in Jacobs G40, which is in the Kellogg building. The classes will continue at the same time and place every Sunday until November 18th.

All Northwestern students who want to learn more about finance are encouraged to come. The Kellogg MBA mentors will be introduced, and they will also go over career opportunities in the financial services industry.
