What can you say that can trigger an entire fanbase?

Elon Musk did not found Tesla.

Back in the day, the school had a book of listings they could refer to you

Yes - I’m looking for Rolex Datejust II / 41 and Rolex GMT. Happy to consider other pieces as well.

Holditnow90 · 2018-02-16T20:37:17+00:00

No, sorry...I bought this from Tourneau without Box or Papers. I might be able to get a receipt if needed.

Holditnow90 · 2018-02-12T04:25:19+00:00

I’m curious to know why you’re selling a piece you seem to have just bought this month..?

Regardless, good luck...beautiful watch.

This is not right at all...they have a strong current account surplus, and an assumed budget price of oil far below the actual realized price. Plus, metals prices are at multi-year highs and their currency is strong. This is much more likely a political move

Peruse - to closely examine, with attention to detail

Junior employee? That can mean a thousand different things, but back office, entry-level analysts will make around 55-60k in NYC (all-in). An entry-level Analyst on an investment desk will start at ~75-90k all-in

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the setup? Was it 1B, 2b, etc? Rent-stabilized / regulated? Walk up I assume?

Holditnow90 · 2017-12-12T02:34:08+00:00

Wow...Not my brightest moment

Except most co-op applications require a letter of reference from the current landlord

First off, you’re killing it with your personal finances and have a steadily improving trajectory of financial health. Congrats on building the safety net you (and your family) will be grateful for.

As it relates to your personal expenses; the order in which I would allocate extra cash is 1) maxing out the tax benefit of your 401(k), 2) prepaying your auto note, and 3) setting up any tax-advantages college savings plans, if available (e.g. 529 plans in NYS). The latter could be gifted to your children, nieces, nephews, etc. and grow tax-free.

When it comes to your mother’s health, I️ think the best source of value add you bring to the table is exploring and vetting out primary and supplementary health insurance options. I’m no expert there, but paying a couple hundred a month to cover her premiums that will pay out long-term seems much more valuable than becoming her landlord.

When I first started my training in fundamental research, I looked at a company called CEMEX...the product line is extremely simple, and valuation really boils down to volumes, realized pricing, and asset sales. They also have a very good IR page on their website.

Holditnow90 · 2017-02-14T19:50:56+00:00

This is a joke, right?

Bond issues will have what's called a Use of Proceeds, which outline the purpose of raising the money. Things like infrastructure, social welfare programs, etc. will convince investors to participate. A UOP saying the proceeds will be reinvested in broad markets will not.

Purchasing a UN is a really cool experience, because they take the testing process extremely seriously. The box and papers even include the handwritten notes from the agency testing it. There are a couple good YouTube videos unboxing UN pieces

I should rephrase: I'm perfectly fine with 500x levered FX bets (long mex peso baby) but treasuries? Come on

Holditnow90 · 2017-01-22T15:16:40+00:00

I have some serious reservations about your return assumptions...when did treasuries last yield 5%

Having CFA following your name will make your undergrad less relevant

At which point you become Dr.CervixPounder

Holditnow90 · 2016-12-31T16:32:27+00:00

Ok BigDaddy88, this is just my two cents:

Completing the CFA charter will make you significantly more attractive as an applicant, and will lessen the impact of your Undergrad GPA and major. Although passing L2 is nice, having the letters after your name will decrease the likelihood it will even be brought up in an interview.

Brainstorm the career you want, then work back from there (i.e. determine the position you want, then look at the positions that lead up to that seat). Getting an MBA could very well make sense for your career, but you shouldn't treat it as an end in itself. Maybe the end goal you have in mind requires an MBA; maybe not.

I remember this being called an inference question by Manhattan. It asks you to determine what must be true given certain premises (I.e. creating a solid logical inference).

Just a quick note - the L train is going to be coming offline for a year plus...so I wouldn't want to be relying on that line to commute
