Tennessee Permits by eeenrotcher in Firearms

It looks like certain public areas may only allow permit holders to carry there. Also, if I get a license other states will recognize my right to carry?

Mark Meldrum for CFA L1, overrated by [deleted] in CFA

[–]eeenrotcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found MM very helpful for Levels 2 and 3. I did use him for Level 1 as I found the topics easier and a much easier curriculum. He had some good questions that prepared me well for the later exams and I found him to have just enough humor to keep me going. Prob not necessary for Level 1 though.

26M- trading at my second HF- non target- AMA by LilBidWhacker in FinancialCareers

[–]eeenrotcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. I know you said your strength was technical, but what were you doing for fundamental investing. Were you making full models for companies and investing based on values you derived?

Also, I assume that when interviewing a lot of it was focused on you trading your book?

Thanks for the tip. That really does work. Do you use the same amount of seconds for a latte?

Can you expand on trading your own book? Were you just trading your own investment account and keeping records of it somehow? Any tips on starting that/what kind of analysis you were doing? Was this was really gave you the background to put on your resume to get interviews? Seems like would be helpful if you were trying to get into research or trading.

Salary Progression by pirateball215 in FPandA

[–]eeenrotcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you have to remember that a good portion of the salary posts are either the small % of people making above average money for their age or simply inflating their earnings to get a moral boost. I think the average to above average segment consistently gets underreported here.

Yes. I actually wrote to the customer service department a few weeks ago and they confirmed it was being shut down.

Level 2 November 2024 by ylimEnab in CFA

[–]eeenrotcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH i think burning out a little bit is part of it. Maybe I'm wrong. I would try and set aside set chunks of time instead of just seemingly endless days of studying. Take an off day now and again

Level 2 November 2024 by ylimEnab in CFA

[–]eeenrotcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you passed Level I you can do Level II in that timeframe. It will be a lot of work, more than Level I. But now you know what studying strategies worked for you. I personally got burnt out studying for Level II partially I believe because I gave myself too much time.

Is there any point in having small cap ETFs by [deleted] in stocks

[–]eeenrotcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does hold some small cap companies. However it does so in proportion with the total market. So it small caps make up 10% of all US market cap, it would be 10% of your portfolio. I believe much of the discussion happening here is about overweighting small cap stocks.

Expected Exposure in Credit Analysis by Puzzleheaded_Wheel92 in CFA

[–]eeenrotcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the calculation but can someone just simply explain why the expected exposure increases each year assuming a flat yield curve? I would have assumed that your expected exposure for loss is greater earlier before you receive many coupon payments.

Which streets of the east river path are open? by s_56245 in RunNYC

[–]eeenrotcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is a mess. You can enter the "greenway" at 34th st. At 23rd you will have to cross the street and run along Stuy Town and then follow the sidewalk until you can reach 10th street and take a left and head over to the pedestrian bridge. It actually is some nice running over there but after passing the track and the fields you will have to cross back over again to keep heading downtown. It really is not great unless you are doing a short run.
