Professor Hamid Ahmadi , to whom we all listen carefully because he once worked for E.F. Hutton, back in the day, discussed how in grad school, he found his passion for teaching and went on to earn his Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate University and a career in education. Although he found the theories of finance fascinating, he was more curious to see which theoretical model works in practice, and under which economic environment. In his classes, he introduces students to financial theories and the applications of these models in the real world. His students responded enthusiastically to his approach and appreciated his teaching style, and in 1999 he received the “Outstanding Teacher Award” –see photo below. He later also wrote a book on “The Theory and Practice of Portfolio Management” again see photo below. Hamid has been and is an international lecturer of finance and will be leaving shortly for Singapore and New Zealand and will, however teaching online ½ half of his time from here at home. Ed Bunting, whom we all know as a renowned financial adviser, has read Hamid's published articles, praised the quality of Hamid’s work.
It was an interesting talk and I, your Bulletin Editor, feel “richer” since Hamid has been a member of our Club.

RAFFLE
After last weeks debacle where Jay Boatwright won a couple hundred bucks, now it fell to Katha Danz to have the winning ticket, but she just drew the Jack of Spades....I think Jay did give back to the Raffle $100 bucks, but it was hardly worth Katha's time (drawing for it). Someone felt sorry for her and gave her a bottle of wine.
During the incumbency of President David Thorman,(2013-14) it was decided that instead of giving a particular gift, ie coffee mug, pen etc. to honor our guest speaker each week, we would simply donate a book to the Carmichael Library. So below are many of the books that we have donated in honor of recent speakers.
It is the "gift that keeps of giving" because those who will check out these books from the library will derive many hours of pleasure for years to come, and it enhances learning and literacy. The books are chosen byBertaBoegel, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library.
