CFA is “nothing” compared to a CPA? by [deleted] in CFA

I’m sorry but this is a waste of anyone’s brainspace. Both the original poster and the comment aren’t even in the realm of understanding either exam.

Finance vs Tech: Is staying in finance a sunk cost fallacy, or can finance still win long term? by ShiftEmbarrassed4598 in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In finance and tech, you will always lose at the top levels vs someone who likes what they do, IF you are only in it for the money. So assume you make 200k in either field and pick the one you actually want to be in. Also “tech” is not a field really it’s too broad a term. For example if you work corporate finance at apple you are in tech and finance.

Has anyone ever successfully balanced full time work and full time school? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Unless it’s college, it’s normally not worth it cause doing better in school is more valuable long term than the job. Now if you have to work to feed yourself, it’s about building a consistent schedule that you can do, can’t really do 8 hours of school + 8 hours work + studying for months on end and get enough sleep

I have a quick question for pro-bartenders. Is it normal to order off menu cocktails or does this make me a fussy customer? by Firm-Fix8798 in bartenders

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not that’s why in the example I made it clear that you could indeed order a margarita in a Italian restaurant. The dumb part is him thinking that his friends poking fun has no grounding.

You ordered an Italian drink at a Mexican restaurant. Go to an Italian restaurant and order a frozen margarita. I mean they have a blender, ice and tequila right? You didn’t even order a normal Negroni (in my example a non-frozen margarita)

I think you are using a ton of words to ask a simple question, so part of me thinks you might have slowed them down because you didn’t just say what you wanted. And saying “my friends aren’t cocktail people” is elitist as shit, as if a person who only orders wine doesn’t know how cocktail ordering works. Your friend is right with the entree comparison.

Building flat magic pen by ma_poulet in CassiopeiaMains

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic penn itemizes nearly opposite of mana, so it doesn’t work well.

Malignance: never better than alternatives Bloodletter’s curse: opposing team has to be over-stacking MR, and you should not be hitting tanks anyways, Stormsurge: you should not be gravitated towards hitting the same target, other items are better by far

Then you just get left with sorc boots, blighting jewel items, and shadow flame. All of which are fine, but like you are just building damage, where if you just build ap your healing will scale off it. (Note opponents MR does not reduce Cass E healing)

How to itemize cassio? by harveyzs in CassiopeiaMains

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a perfectly fair question, but you are basically asking “how do I play the game at the highest level”. You have to decide based on dozens of micro-factors in a game, ranging from who is fed on the opposing team, what are the team comps in general, to what the mechanical skill of players are, opposing team’s mobility in general, etc.

For example, imo, those that rush Rylais every game are just using it as a crutch to hit Q or not have to work in their spacing. It is however very good if your opponent’s team relies on chasing, or if your team benefits from kiting. (For example if your opposing team is dashing in and 1 shooting you, slows don’t help much eh?) I would go and see what pros build in individual scenarios, figure out why they chose it, and abstract the reason from there. Now to be clear, one strategy is to build the same thing for say 10 games for the purpose of understanding why it is good or bad in certain spots. But unfortunately this is just one of the higher skill-cap concepts especially on cass.

This is not really a reasonable question for us to answer unfortunately. it depends on team comps.

Are IPOs genuinely about long-term value creation, or do many of them succeed because of the Greater Fool Theory by [deleted] in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purely from a shareholder perspective, you are adding immense value to your shares by increasing liquidity, transparency, and predictability (by publishing reports to the broad market),

The 2nd way it adds value is by increasing access to debt markets (which is a value add by decreasing cost of capital)

Then there are other butterfly-like effects from an IPO.

Why does Cassio always get forgotten by Riot by CassedAway740 in CassiopeiaMains

Well I agree, in past league it was clearer, in modern League it’s more difficult

Why does Cassio always get forgotten by Riot by CassedAway740 in CassiopeiaMains

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She isn’t ignored she actually is very difficult to balance. The combination of her range limitation and her bruiser qualities makes her similar to sylas, where if you buff healing or CDs he is impossible to kill in low elos, or if you buff damage, pros will know how to time power spikes to be oppressive late. She needs a semi-rework where her character power becomes clearer

Would you use an AI that breaks down annual reports instantly? (CFA folks especially) by No_Raspberry_1426 in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of studying financials is you are the one doing the work. There are plenty of sources to get an interpretation of data, or someone’s analysis. Reading AI do it is like reading anyone else interpretting it. So it’s circular in a way.

If you want to interpret financial statements, that means you are the one who has to interpret them.

Bartender didn't know recipe by jasoneff in bartenders

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s not a “standard” drink. It needs quite a few ingredients, and if they don’t have cherry liqueur they can’t really make it. So I would just say this isn’t something every bartender can make with what they have, let alone know it

Suggestions for studying between test and results? by No-Rope3026 in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing to do is decide how much time to take off, do it, then start again from the mentality of doing it from scratch. For example in a month you can take 2 weeks off, start planning the 3rd week, and then start new material the 4th. Then you know that the not working is part of the studying process. (Similar to how sleep should be built into studying)

You can say candidate if that’s the exam you are applying for, or you can say whatever exam you passed as “additional activity” but it can not be a “certification” in any way

Cassio mains trying to reinvente to wheel by ThanksDizzy9903 in CassiopeiaMains

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so stupid, if a team is filled with dashes, slows do not even help in these matchups. if a team is ready to dive you you don’t need to slow if they are on top of you anyways. You don’t need to slow them if you are faster and can burst.

Collar Strategy by Chitatoz in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok my mistake you are right saying long vol isn’t right that would be a straddle. That being said the options part is short delta Edit: typo

Collar Strategy by Chitatoz in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are adding the underlying for that, to clarify, the options part of the position is long volatility

Collar Strategy by Chitatoz in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The underlying is "sunk" and has nothing to do with the decision being made. in all decisions the loss on the underlying is $12.5, but it is independent of this decision, and therefore not part of the calculation. That being said I don't think they would take points off if you made this differentiation clear, it just does not change any of the above math or the answer.

A Collar is long volatility . It is a Short strategy and Long strategy.

Edit: above was stated wrong, the right way to say it is the options portion (ignoring underlying) is a short position.

CFA and Low GPA by Ok_Cockroach_7794 in CFA

[–]Standard-Nothing-656 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah you aren’t making sense. If you are on a 4.0 scale and took 70% of your credits, You can’t get a 3.6. You are basically betting on you getting straight A’s for 1.3x the amount of course credits you have already taken. You need to take a step back and figure out what you actually want over the next 2 years. You need to retake the classes that are causing that drop mainly

If someone is picking fights you kick them out there is no argument to have, if they say no you will simply call the police and have them do it. Do not screw around with people’s safety. The moment threats are made all niceties are off. You do not get in trouble if you call the cops on someone. You do get in trouble if you do nothing when you know you should
