| I thought the "Identify the Industries" was a very interesting read and assignment. Being able to look at financial ratios and number and being able to narrow down the industry or business it is just be looking at the financial numbers is definitely something that I want to become better at. I thought it was a good exercise because it made you look at more than just one ratio or number and pick the industry, it made you look at all the numbers and then decide which industry those numbers belonged to. I enjoyed working on this project. |
