Well, it turns out I was even more motivated than I thought. Yesterday (Sunday) I finished most of the draft on my paper entitled “The Wave of Chinese Solar IPO’s on U.S. Exchanges: Reasoning and Implications.” All I have left to write is the conclusion and introduction and a section providing short descriptions of the…

Great Progress
I sacrificed my Saturday for the purpose of making some serious headway on my research paper for Venture Capital on the wave of Chinese Solar IPOs on U.S. exchanges. The sacrifice was worth it in hindsight because I accomplished a lot. I now have about 30 pages written with around 10-12 pages to go…
British navy not so royal
I watched the British sailor hostage “crisis” come to a close on world news yesterday. It’s a stretch to call it a crisis as the whole thing looked like a big staged event by the Iranians, complete with video confessions and general media frenzy. When the soldiers left they were decked in suits and were…
Part II: Chinese Solar IPOs
Today I provide some reasons why Chinese solar companies are choosing to go public on United States exchanges as oposed to mainland China or Hong Kong. 1.

Business Plan
Today my group turned in our Business Plan for Environmental Entrepreneurship, the class at the Stanford Business School I took last semester. It was a great course and I think the final product is great. What is great about our plan is that it will be used in the real world by a real start-up…

Quarter Finale
I took two quarter classes this semester and they are now over. This leaves three classes to concentrate on for the 4 weeks (plus Spring Break week) remaining in the semester. It will be nice to have all afternoons free (except Monday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:10 pm) and no class on Tuesday at…
81 degrees
It was a blazing 81 degrees Sunday in sunny Stanford, California. Spring is in full swing and it’s beautiful outside. These past few days have been idyllic, I need to spend some more time outside. Temps are forecasted to hold in the mid 70’s through the entire week ahead – WOW! Part of the reason…
TGIF Success
Yesterday I helped organize a TGIF at the law school and it was a big success. We ordered Thai food from Thaiphoon Restaurant and it was delicious – highly recommended. Thai is always a hit and we had tons of people come. In fact, the food was completely gone in 20 minutes! It seemed like…
