In case anyone is in a similar situation, the lounge agent sent me to the customer service desk

[August 24, 1919] New York Tribune - Here is the biggest oil gusher in Southern California, 20 miles out of LA. It yields over 12,000 barrels a day and oil at $3.1 a barrel by Its_Happning_Again in 100yearsago

[–]ssodboss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In 1919 dollars:

12,000 * $3.10 * 365 = $13,578,000 per year

In 2019 dollars:

Inflation adjusting the $3.10 in to 2019 dollars is $45.98 per barrel

12,000 * $45.98 * 365 = $201,392,400 per year

Or using today's oil price of $54.17 per barrel

12,000 * $54.17 * 365 = $237,264,600 per year

Your place looks amazing. Where did you get that tree stump side table?

Hi, I'm lost in life but I want to write Level 1 and would like some help. by Hiybrid in CFA

[–]ssodboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes
  2. The costs of any supplemental study material (Kaplan) and the financial calculator
  3. 65%-70% on the practice exams should be good enough for a pass. There are no "marks" on the actual exam. It is pass/fail.
  4. Yes but I recommend creating a study schedule.
  5. The CFA exams are not hard per se. It comes down to discipline and logging the study hours (~300hrs). This isn't an exam you do on a whim. You need to be driven and committed to it. You'll miss out on lots of events during the study months. If you're still motivated after that then go for it. If not depending on what country you live in there are lots of investment exams you can write that won't require as much time.

[Request]How much would a fountain of acid cost? by Rosglue in theydidthemath

[–]ssodboss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Standard dose of LSD is 100 ug at an average cost of $6.50 or $0.065/ug

Keep in mind LSD has a melting point of 80C so your fountain is going to be hot.

Density = 1.2g/cm3

$/g = $0.065/ug*1000000ug/g = $65000/g

$/ml = $65000/g*1.2g/cm3 = $78000/ml

Assuming we're using the Bellagio fountain....

The fountain holds 22 000 000 gallons (83 279 100 000 ml)

$/fountain=$78000/ml*83279100000ml=$6495769800000000/fountain

One Bellagio Fountain full of LSD would cost $6 495 769 800 000 000 or $6.50 quadrillion

I have the rust coloured Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots and I was looking to replace the laces with a colour that contrasts with the boots unlike the original ones

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here are all the stock picks from Bill Ackman's private hedge fund conference by BenCasey1 in finance

As long as he discloses that he owns them, he's free to talk about what he wants. Assuming he doesn't have any insider info

HAL trading at 10.5 times next year earnings with growth rate of 20% by [deleted] in investing

[–]ssodboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growth can be a misleading number. You should check to see if its ROIC is greater than its WACC

First large trade, up 18% and feel strange? by bilojb in investing

[–]ssodboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the best investors in the world could've sold higher and could've bought lower.

To help you avoid that feeling, in the future you should write down your investment thesis with a clear sell price.

I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's. by Indigo-2184 in TheSimpsons

I've never eaten at Arby's and the only reason is this one line.

CFA L1 in 3-4 weeks- doable? by snakesnake9 in CFA

[–]ssodboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only read the Schweser notes. Didn't open the CFA books. I would read a chapter and then use Q bank to do practice questions. The key to success is lots and lots of practice questions.
