Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you all are as excited to have made it so close to the end as I am!
To begin, the topic that I selected from out previous weeks’ was, “The Use of Warrants In Corporate Financing”. I found this topic to be rather difficult to understand for me and to be completely honest, I am not sure why. I recall going through the lesson and being able to retain like 10 percent of the information. When it came time for the homework, I was having a rather difficult time being able to get the correct answer. I was unsure if it was my math or if I was just completely inputting everything in the wrong places. I utilized the hint section rather frequently throughout the homework and although it did a pretty good job breaking down the formula’s, I felt that I just did not truly understand it at all. Throughout my research, I gained a little bit more understanding on how to compute diluted earnings per share. I still am not as confident in the concepts entirety but it is something that does interest me especially due to the fact that I am a frequent investor in the stock market as well as a miner in cryptocurrency.
Thank you for taking the time to read my forum and again, glad we have all made it to week 8!

Week 8 Reflection
Hello, everyone! I found the last three weeks to be more frustrating than the first four weeks. To be more specific, homework five and six gave me a lot of trouble. I followed the text in the eBook as well as the examples under the hint. I wrote the model out and did the work to see if it matches the same answer given, and it did, but when I worked out the question that was given, my response that I came up with was incorrect. After putting as much work as I did into the question and not getting it correct, I did not want to look at it anymore. Now that I have reviewed homework five and six, I see that I might have been closer to the answer than I realize, and I should have left it in the answer place, but when I got it wrong, I just deleted the wrong answer. On question 7 of homework six, I left my answer in there, and the correct answer is -264,655, and my answer was (264,655.00). Is that not the same thing? I feel that I understand the material. I know that if one variable is off, then the answer will be incorrect. One problem requires a lot of work and time; it can be very frustrating when it does not come to the correct conclusion, and you have triple check your work and your resource. On the other hand, it has been gratifying to get the answer right from utilizing the knowledge I have obtained.
