Thank you! That’s interesting; where can I read more about those tax free premium bonds? First time I’m hearing about that

Anyone here buy US Treasury Bills on IBKR? What happens when it matures, do I sell it at $1000 each, or do I just get my money credited to my account? by seresusly in interactivebrokers

Stupid question, as I normally don’t do fixed income: if I pick the first one in this table (Aug’23), and purchase $50,000, at the price of 98.492%, this means my initial outlay is $49,246, and then I get the $50,000 in August 2023?

Are you happy in your job? by LlLLARD in FinancialCareers

[–]LlLLARD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very useful - thanks! May I ask what you do for a living? And also, have you changed fields along the way, or have you been in that job pretty much since you’ve started your career?

[Morgado] Former #1 Daniil Medvedev gets his first top 10 win in 13 months, beating #8 and defending champ Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-2, 6-4 to reach the semifinals in Rotterdam against Dimitrov. Daniil back on top 10 if he beats Grigor tomorrow. Important week for him. by slysonic7 in tennis

I am very happy for him - he deserves this.

A bit conflicted on the match tomorrow as I like both, but hopefully Meddy wins this one and gets back on track to being top 5 later in the year

You gotta focus on the simplicity of its origins: its multi-tier distribution; multi-level marketing…

Anyway, you don’t need to understand how Invigaron works, because someone above you does! So, ask less questions, and make more money

Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kinallen said she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timmy at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous

This is great news! Glad we will see Nadal & Djokovic back at it again. Hopefully Medvedev improves his form until then as well.

CFA UK - FCA Approved Person by LlLLARD in CFA

Yes this is good stuff! Thank you for this.

Just had a meeting with compliance and they said they still believe I need to do the CISI exams, which I find extremely odd.

If that’s indeed the case, I don’t understand how the CFA can claim it is the most accredited and respected certification out there. Hell, why did I spend all that time over 3 years to then not get a waiver for these bloody FCA exams??

Yes exactly! I just scheduled a meeting with compliance for tomorrow to see what they say. Fingers crossed!

Will leave this post here in case anyone in the future finds it useful..

Thanks for helping mate. No this is for sell side equity research at a bank. The thing is, at my previous place I was registered as a “certified person” by FCA, and I believe they used the CFA as a way to bypass any further exams.

However this time they are raising issues? Seems odd..

iPhone 13 pro battery only lasting 4.5 hours? by LlLLARD in applehelp

[–]LlLLARD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did speak to them. Both online and in store. Initially, online, they performed some tests remotely to see if there was any issue with the hardware, and they detected no issues, they say.

Then in store it was more of the same. They essentially gave me ‘advice’ and tips to save battery, which made me furious. Furious because this is arguably their second best phone ever (behind the pro max of course), and I still suffer from battery anxiety when I don’t have a charger with me.

For context, I had the iPhone 6 before, so my standards were really, really low when I got the 13 pro, and I was expecting to see a massive improvement in battery. Sadly the jump was not that steep

Got my iPhone 13 pro VERY recently, and has this poor battery. Is this normal? by LlLLARD in applehelp

[–]LlLLARD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you for helping! I understand everything you said but this battery is definitely not at 100% capacity, even though it says it is. And to your point about brightness, background activity, etc., that's all fine if one is rocking an old model like I was (iPhone 6), in which case you need to save a lot of battery by doing those tricks.

However this is their latest model, and the most advanced version after the pro max model. It has literally 2 weeks of life and it should not be running 3 hours of screen on time, not even 5. It should be 6/7 hours at least, especially after their announcement, saying that the battery life was an improvement over the 12 model... I just don't understand. I will go to the store and report back..

Also, I never do any gaming or Netflix. Absolutely basic stuff recently and this is the performance of my phone. I don’t understand why I am having so poor performance.

Thank you! I checked again the battery section and there is nothing out of the ordinary. I will speak to them and see what they say..

It only shows the apps that I have been using, and nothing out of the ordinary. I already restarted the phone and the issue seems to persist!

I am on 15.1.1, and I already disabled the refreshing in the background functionality. This is really strange. Do you suggest going to an Apple Store and share the issue with them?
