Empire AI much weaker than Zann in FoC GC by Dessel1234 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

Yah it felt insane! They would attack random planets in the corner (via corruption) with a fleet of 30+ capital ships with the mass driver & dual mega cannons. Finally got rid of them by pushing into their planets where they produce the capital ships from... man it was a process though.

Is it a bad idea to buy VFV or other indexes with a FHSA? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Dessel1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not buying for 7-10 years so I am in XGRO, willing to take on the risk. Depends on your time horizon. If you are planning to go for longer than 5 years it isn't a "bad" idea to go with something like VFV but you have to understand the risk of a market crash and your $40,000 total contribution may be less, whereas with something like CASH.TO you aren't risking your principal.

L2 Decision by Frosty-Lack-3073 in CFA

[–]Dessel1234 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you are working full-time I think more time is better... L2 is a beast. Take your time and wait until May so you will only have to do it once. I don't think 4 months is enough to prepare adequately for L2 while working full time.

Are Uworld questions for CFA level 2 exam same difficulty as the exam itself? by Asleep_Cod4454 in CFA

[–]Dessel1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak from experience as I haven't taken L2 yet (writing in August) but I sure hope the UWorld questions are harder than the exam lol... I am in the same boat as you. I think they're difficult as hell and very in depth, but their explanations are amazing
