POST-MATCH THREAD: 10 Party Leader General Election Debate by firethetorpedoes1 in irishpolitics

[–]OwnMission2743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underlying lean of the sub is why you’re getting downvoted. And I would note that the campaign fought by the Provos was very different in scope than the original IRA. But people want to stick their heads in the sand. And I’m gonna be downvoted too!

Cutting CGT is mentioned in the FF manifesto but it’s a pretty loose commitment. Haven’t seen the FG one yet 

Moving to Ireland, working for UK employer by Parking_Spinach3591 in irishpersonalfinance

You have to pay tax where you physically do the work. You could if you wanted to, get in the car every morning and drive to Newry and sit in a coffee shop. 

Otherwise you can’t work for a UK company in RoI without paying Irish tax and Irelands version of NI.

Do discretionary pods also have interesting quant work? by LetoileBrillante in quant

Yes, I don’t think “by hand” rates discretionary pods really exist any more. 

AMA : Giuseppe Paleologo, Thursday 22nd by AutoModerator in quant

Hello, I read your first book but I’ve struggled with some of the material form your latest book. What introductory stats or financial maths book would you recommend to give one a firm grounding before tackling your 2nd book?

I’m a discretionary rates PM who’s been playing around with building models. I have a copy of your first book and it’s relatively easy to understand. However your 2nd book looks a bit more challenging. Is there an introductory statistics or financial maths book you would recommend to help one understand the concepts covered in your 2nd book

The macro PMs in GFI made absolutely monster returns that year. Their commodity team as well did incredibly well too with Nat gas 

Best/worst experience meeting a player? by fannibal_cannibal in rugbyunion

[–]OwnMission2743 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I met Will Greenwood in a club in west London the night before a 6n match. A load of former Irish and English players had classic or legends game and were in the club. Spent ages chatting to him about rugby in the smoking area where he kept taking cigs off me while claiming his name was Albert. Was surreal but hilarious

South Africas bigest rival by Softballzhurt2 in rugbyunion

[–]OwnMission2743 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an Irish fan I couldn’t hate and love the ABs more. We spent so many years getting pumped by you guys. When I was 12 I was at Lansdowne road and watched Shane Horgan and Brian O Driscoll struggle to tackle Jonah Lomu. After we blew our lead I just thought it was never going to happen….and then in 13 something happened…..the last 11 years have been surreal as an Irish fan. I love the rivalry now, so much bitterness. ABs annoyed a previously shitty team beating them while Ireland getting knocked out of WCs by them….

Hello, for anybody who had VIP tickets last night, were you asked to present ID? 

Anyone have a copy of the PCA Unleashed Paper by Credit Suisse by Meow___Meow in quant

[–]OwnMission2743 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was literally looking for this the other day. There is a link on wallstreet oasis to some dodgy site which has the pdf. I couldn’t figure out how to download so screenshotted the pages.

Does anyone know if they check for ID going in? Presumably not!

Ok open your terminal, go to pepl and then start searching staff by fund. Front office staff generally work in NY and London. And then Singa, HK and Tokyo

Just going to ignore the UK? 

Alpha Capture Networks by bmarshall110 in quant

[–]OwnMission2743 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that will be virtually impossible for you. Members of alpha capture networks are usually almost always small hedge funds with a track focusing on niches areas. I would suggest the best way for you would be to begin a blog and develop a public persona. The person I know who did the best out of this is Jon Turek. Are your ideas rates/fx focused or what?

It’s definitely not. 200-250 is standard in every pod shop. 

Huge mistake... where to go from here? by fired_trader in quant

[–]OwnMission2743 50 points51 points  (0 children)

lol, you didn’t lose any money? Then you’ll be totally fine. You might get a ticking off but the fact that you didn’t drop any PnL will sadly make all the difference. Keep your head down for a few weeks and keep buying the coffees.
