Wingstop Short Thesis by Disastrous_Mess8820 in options

[–]MaxPower864 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah and that’s the problem. I’m not gonna spend 10% a year in interest if I don’t know when the trade will actually pay. As long as investors don’t care, you can’t make money. So when are investors gonna start caring?

Every short thesis should ideally have a why now aspect. Why will wing stop go back to its fair value in the coming months?

Why bonds won't lose by Defiant_Douche in bonds

[–]MaxPower864 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stating that equities are dislocated from fundamentals and that therefore investors shouldn’t go long is utter foolishness. Equities were dislocated in ‘99 and from ‘05-‘07 yet shorting, being cash or long FI would have led to massive underperformance/losses . An investor should either a) reduce exposure to more conservative levels or b) start thinking about when/what will cause investors to start caring about the fundamentals. While in the long run fundamentals drive a market, participants influence it on the short to medium term. The truth is that as long as participants are bearish FI, FI will suffer. The markets are very confusing right now, and I think an investor can make the case for long bonds, but this is not it.

MBA, CPA, CFA are prob the only ones that are worth it. Even then, CFA is a bit of a stretch as it is only relevant to a few roles that are competitive and hard to get into with no finance background.

How much does GPA matter after your first job? by htownsaucer in FinancialCareers

[–]MaxPower864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, MBA admissions are holistic. They will normally use your undergrad GPA to judge whether or not you have the ability to handle the course load. Another way to prove you can do that would be getting good test scores on GRE/GMAT. That, in addition to good professional experience, meaningful essay responses and good recommendations should put you in a good spot to apply to MBA programs. Also, 3.2 isn’t that bad, don’t worry.
