Really awesome program. I was lucky enough to participate years ago and can credit the program for kickstarting my career in finance. One of the biggest advantages of the program is students’ ability to leverage the program as “job experience” when interviewing for wall street / general finance jobs and internships. Peter Ricchiuti runs the program and has been instrumental for Tulane's business school. I'd recommend listening to the replay of Peter's opening remarks - he gives a great summary in layman's terms of what's going on in the the markets today (link below).

For those unfamiliar with the program:

quote:

Burkenroad Reports, started in 1993, is the nation’s first university-sponsored securities analysis program. Each year 200 students from Tulane's A. B. Freeman School of Business are divided up into teams to follow 40 small-cap public companies headquartered in six southern states. Teams meet with top management, visit company sites, design financial models, and publish in depth, unbiased investment research reports.

As much as I hate Tulane, I must admit that this sounds like an awesome program. It's something that every undergrad business school should offer. The closest I came at LSU is we had a semester long futures trading game -- I came in second out of 50.

Ricchiuti is something. Always an entertaining speaker.

I'm also a Burkenroad alum. My team covered a bank in 2007-2008, and we were wayyyy off on our price targets

It's a great program, and Ricchiuti was a pretty motivating guy.

The only issue I see with the program is every Tulane Finance grad has it listed on their resume, and makes it sound like they were running an investment bank. Of course we know they are just trying to boost their resume, which I can’t argue with, but after seeing it time and time again the appeal or wow factor is lost. Does everyone get in the program?

I may be blind but I am not seeing his opening remarks anywhere, you have to be registered and signed in?
