Thanks! Hope you were able to use it in some practical situation

Please do not post a comment here asking for the IRR Table. Use the contact form. Thanks!

I've read/listened to Outliers - no doubt a good book, with a number of case studies. However, I believe there's more than just doing 10,000 hours to become an expert. Talent plays an important role... Would people work with a sharp focus on their field for 10,000 hours... I know many who do... but are not experts. I know others who also make it to the top without 10,000 hours. Check out Seth Godin's post on this... http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/12/1...- He also sells the Drip concept he's been talking about, i.e. going beyond others... probably beyond 10,000 - but also that there are many who don't follow this. Matt, you should read Black Swan, where Taleb talks about circumstances where the 10,000 rule of thumb applies... it gives another perspective

I guess RTM was not GYM (Google Yahoo Microsoft) safe, Google has done it again. Yes, RTM has features - the question is - DO YOU REALLY NEED THEM!? Simplicity works.

Thanks William. I may be wrong, but to my knowledge IRR assumes that the cash is re-invested immediately at the same rate. This may not be so, as finding an investment for the same rate may not be practical always. If this is wrong... why would people use Modified IRR? Anyway I'll let you decide that. You can check out this article from McKinsey Quarterly http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Corporate_Financ...

Jeffrey, perhaps you should look at podcasts/videocasts and whiteboard technology. A perfect example is how schweser teaches CFA students. IntenseDebate is of course a good start.

Welcome to the world of Twitter... here's how I've integrated Twitter as part of the blogosphere... http://blog.jpmartin.com/change-is-constant/

Great site you got going here... hope newbie entrepreneurs start learning something!

Please note that this post is a combination of two previous posts that I worked on - IRR and IRR Tables. Hope you enjoy it.

We're currently testing IntenseDebate from Automattic, the founders of WordPress. The CSS seems to be working fine in Safari, not so good in Firefox - although I could be having a cache problem. IntenseDebate is a threaded comment feature - something which is required for a proper discussion. However, this is more than just threads, it handles them efficiently through email, and integrates well with WordPress. If you click on the picture, it will give you a brief profile of the user also. Plus many more features. Like Disqus, Brians Threaded Comments - only better.
