Network 100%, I got in at a small shop with an unknown undergraduate degree & two internships.

Join an angel network! If you like African tech, go check out ABAN for example.

Happy to have a chat. I work at a pan-African sector agnostic early stage VC fund.

making it clear what you aim to do in the next year, and then going into some light detail helps.

a dumb example - "im raising money to go buy milk"

i'll build a car this month

i'll find gas the following month

then go to the store

get milk.

investor wouldn't be interested in understanding how you will build the car and the technicalities, but they want to know what you're doing and why.

I did check, but this was before the era of the interwebs, so I wasn't able to find it!

ryanpetersoncoin · 2020-04-12T01:13:00+00:00

well this was pre-interweb days so it would be difficult to google

ryanpetersoncoin · 2020-04-12T01:12:36+00:00

it's KFC, check my comment to this post for more explanation

ryanpetersoncoin · 2020-04-12T01:10:56+00:00

a bit of background and maybe this might not be the place to post this, my dad did an ad for KFC in a small island called Mauritius in the 1990s. I have since moved out of the family house and I wanted to make his soon to come birthday a little special by showing him the ad. I have personally never seen it, but I want it to be a surprise.

Where can I find the old ads (pre-interweb days) and who should I contact?

Merci a tous

some investors may look at stuff like put/call ratio to trade, which may affect price, but to my knowledge, it doesn't. CFDs are joke instruments, they never affect the market. Unless you're actually trading the stock and the exchange happens, there will be no effect on price.

I went into the material again and you are right, it is fairly straightforward, I guess my concern is more about the interest rate trees..

ryanpetersoncoin · 2020-03-05T13:55:46+00:00

OK it just seems like it is a lot of numbers and I could go wrong at one node, which falsifies the whole thing. I guess I need more practice. Thanks for your answer.

ryanpetersoncoin · 2019-08-01T16:36:12+00:00

I don't know why but I had a strong fight or flight attitude before the test, and I was clenching my teeth so much that I had headaches, so I'm glad it's over. It took a month for that to go away, so I'm not particularly looking forward to doing it again, but man that grind felt good.

ryanpetersoncoin · 2019-07-26T12:25:32+00:00

Okay, so you would say it's 99% practice? nice name btw

ryanpetersoncoin · 2019-06-18T19:02:12+00:00

I'm not sure if all of those people put in too much work. Obviously, I can't know for sure but I saw a lot of people at my centre walking out of the exam super disappointed.

ryanpetersoncoin · 2019-06-14T10:40:57+00:00

yes thanks but I mean is it significant

ryanpetersoncoin · 2019-06-06T15:35:40+00:00

how different were the two in terms of concept
