Columbia University and Value Investing
Do you take ongoing executive education seriously? If you are looking for a valuable course, then look no further than Columbia University and their course on Value Investing.
This course is based on the Ben Graham and Warren Buffett approach. The following is the link for you to get started... http://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/execed/program-pages/details/61/VI
I notice the next course starts on June 20, cost $7,250. What a bargain.
Don't forget to look through the rest of their executive education programme. You earn a Certificate in Business Excellence by completing 18 days of programming within 4 years. Or you can knock that back down to 13 days for a Certificate in one field, such as Finance, or Leadership, and such, by completing 13 days of programming (8 days in one field) within 4 years.
Heh, I'm not getting paid to give this plug.

Bruce Greenwald: Death of Manufacturing
I found the following video from an embedded link on the Columbia University website. Bruce Greenwald describes the death of manufacturing and the global deflation:-
He makes perfectly valid points. But it is interesting to hear that agriculture is finished. New Zealand is a country that relies on agricultural exports. Oh no, are we in trouble or what? Then we have manufacturing, New Zealand is a bit anaemic there, but that too is finished. Again, oh no.
But something he may have overlooked - productivity gains are still achievable in both agriculture and manufacturing. The answer I think lies in automation. Machines making other machines and machines doing the actual farming and manufacturing. Then the next development is machines deciding what to produce and when and in what quantities.
But where Greenwald nails it, is talking about the structure of an economy. Getting the structure right is key, and New Zealand needs to look at it as their structure is weak. NZ is vulnerable, it's just that it dodged the bullet back in 2008/09.
