  • Local company benefits as U.S. manufacturing numbers add up

    January 06, 2012

    U.S. manufacturing activity in the month of December rose to its highest level since June and employment in that sector rose with it. The ISM Manufacturing index rose to 53.9 from 52.7 in November and 50.8 in October. An index reading of 50 is an indicator of economic expansion.

    Mac Clouse, a professor of finance at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business, says this growth is significant and telling of an economic recovery.

    "This is the kind of growth that we need, growth that isn't artificially stimulated, growth that is coming from the solid basic core of the economy," Clouse said. "The manufacturer is purchasing new equipment, which is a sale for somebody else. He's hiring people, so he's gotten someone off of the unemployment line that can now spend a bit more dollars once he or she gets income again, so there are a lot of good domino effects."

  • Avoid These Three Money Mistakes

    December 07, 2011

    Financial planner and New York Times blogger Carl Richards created a stir when he wrote How A Financial Pro Lost His Houseearlier this month. It was a gut wrenching true story of how he got caught up in the real estate bubble in Las Vegas and eventually lost his home via a short sale after the meltdown. It created quite the controversy in the financial planning community as planners debated whether he did a service to the public or hurt the reputation of the financial planning industry. I come down on the side that he did the right and courageous thing, since his willingness to share his experience gives us all the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. I've written about some of my blunders before and have to tell you that this pro had no trouble coming up with my biggest three money mistakes.  more info »

  • Durango rental rates on rise

    Rents are rising and competition for apartments is getting stiffer, a new state report shows.

    “Rental property is like any other commodity, from bread to crude oil,” said Clark Haggard, a housing counselor for Housing Solutions of the Southwest. “Supply and demand drive the price.”

That’s compared with a 5.5 percent vacancy rate at the same time last year and a 5.2 percent vacancy rate in the second quarter of this year.

  • Survey: Engineering seniors log the most study hours

    December 02, 2011

    If you're an engineering student, chances are you study about five hours a week more than business and social science majors — and you still may not be fully prepared for class, according to a new survey examining how college students spend their time.

    A recent survey finds that engineering students study roughly 19 hours per week.

    Business majors also may be underestimating their study time, suggests Dan Connolly, an associate dean at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. "Much of the work is collaborative, and many students are working in their field … so it doesn't seem like studying (to them). But in the process of doing all they're doing, they're learning."

  • Academic partnership grows between Deutsche Bank and Daniels

    August 25, 2011

    Deutsche Bank has collaborated with the University of Denver to help teach a business school course on microfinance.

    In a unique partnership, Deutsche Bank has collaborated with the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver to create a MBA-level course on microfinance and entrepreneurship. Members of the Bank’s microfinance team help teach the course, particularly aspects of the curriculum covering due diligence and other important analysis of microfinance institutions (MFIs). This culminates in an onsite visit to assist in conducting due diligence on either a current or potential Deutsche Bank client. On March 14th, ten students currently enrolled in this class traveled to Georgia, where they visited two MFIs, one a former client of Deutsche Bank and the other a potential candidate to receive a loan from the DBMDF fund. In addition to visiting the embassy and touring the capital, Tbilisi, the students spent several days visiting the MFIs, meeting with senior and branch management teams, and conducting analysis of their financials and operations.

    The course first came together about three years ago. Managing Director Asad Mahmood gave a guest lecture to a group from the Daniels College of Business. Impressed by the quality of the questions posed by the students, Mr. Mahmood welcomed the opportunity to make the school a long-term academic partner. Last year, Forbes Magazine recognized this course as one of the “top 10 most innovative business school classes.” “By taking a group of students with an interest in international business and putting them in a program with a strong focus on social responsibility, there is an opportunity to do some real good,” said Maclyn Clouse, the professor of the course and one of two faculty members who accompanied the students on the due diligence trip.
