No, you can get those aminos elsewhere. Meat in collon is bad, and its the main reason why we dont have 10-15 years more to live worldwide. 1 year ago, I'd tell you to shoot me if I ever said that  Edit: if you like fish, look up how much plastic the average fish contains, and your chance of eating microplastic. Just to scare some more
The best thing you can do is get your CFA (assuming it applies to the job that you want)   Get your series testing done - this is a a lot easier and cheaper than CFA but isn't that amazing. You also have to be sponsored.   Join a club and get on the executive board.   Try investing your own money so you can get a better feel for the market. If you don't have any money then try a simulated game. I personally use marketwatch.com and compete with others that way.   This is all in addition to the obvious ones:  Go to a good school, get good grades (especially in your finance classes) have a good resume, learn how to interview, and have as much work experience as possible. INTERNSHIPS are your best friend.
So if my father signed up for the military at age 18, became an officer, worked 30 years and spent very little (buying used cars eating in &amp; having roommates) to afford to buy me a car and pay for my education.  An education Where I worked worked extremely hard at to become a civil engineer with a high GPA and spent at least 100 hours perfecting my resume and interview skills to get a high paying entry level job where I replicate my fathers habits while being single, choosing to not have children until I build capital, learn to invest in my free time, and live off of 35% of my income by leveraging wealth and having roommates.   Your telling me that since I am able to retire at age 35 on my current plan it is all due to luck? Luck?   Sure I'm thankful that my dad sacrificed and gave me a privileged life with free education but that wasn't luck, that's hard god damn work and I thank him everyday what he did for me. To tell me it's luck is borderline crazy.   If you didn't have what I stated above be the person who works his ass off so your kids can have the privilege to retire at 40 if they make SMART choices.  Or better yet, borrow capital to get an education that pays you 60,000 pay it back and retire at 40? Stop trying to act like it's impossible. Investing isn't gambling, it's foolish to think so. If you invest in index funds it will grow over a long period of time.   The medical scenario is completely different and is mostly caused due to a lack of a free market and insurance system. This is effed and should be fixed as a wealthy society.   ^^^^there are ways to ensure you have medical coverage but again, it's difficult and should be made easier.
I am a web developer by day and financial systems programmer by night.  You'll need to learn a compiled language and how to scale data storage if you want to code for finance. I would suggest you learn C# or Java if you really want a decent gig programming in the finance industry. Anybody using PHP and API's to trade isn't somebody you want to work for. It will cause way more headaches than it's worth and you miss opportunities due to speed and efficiency of a language like PHP. You will hit a wall with it at some point (some problem/bug/whatever that can't be solved), and it will really bring you down when you realize it has to be re-done in another language. That being said, PHP is great for the front end (showing people the data and letting them search etc), but the core of it that grabs stats and does the calculations should be in a compiled language.   PHP can also be used to quickly test ideas to see if it's worth building a full system that will scale. Basically a rough draft of the program to see if it's going to work out. Why? Well in PHP you can get things done very quickly with very little code because a large amount of libraries and functions exist and it's a very easy language to understand. But it's not efficient, and that's why you create the real deal program using C, C#, or java, or whatever.  Scalability of data storage will be important to. You'll need to store a ton of information and you'll need to be able to sort/change/remove/add it quickly. Many databases already exist to do this and I see you know MySQL already a good bit. You'll need to get very familiar with it because the database is going to be your biggest bottleneck in terms of speed. It doesn't matter how well your software works if the database is taking 5 seconds to return a query. Learn to tweak MySQL, learn about MSSQL, look into Firebird. Also learn about at least one NoSQL storage solution (these databases can store a massive amount of information, but they work differently than a sql database does). I would recommend learning MongoDB if you already know PHP. It is a good transition from SQL style databases to Key Storage databases.   Hope this helps...
You know what? You are correct, the reason the Soviet Union collapsed was due to its central banking policies. You should perhaps tell someone about that.  &gt;I asked you to name an empire, historically, that purchased its own debt and was successful in doing so. You have still yet to do that.  Even though you didn't direct the question to me: British Empire.  Next?
Try a tool like mint.com that will send you text messages regarding how you budget is going.  If you use mint, set up your budget to send you reminders before you hit your budget.  Example:  if my budget for dining out is $100, I tell mint.com it is $50 and I get nagging text messages after $50 to remind me to keep a lid on my spending.
No? Is that a joke? You learn things in Law School that you have to go to Law School to learn. You learn math when you get an MS in Math that you have to go to Grad School to learn. BSchool is a joke and there is little if any meaningful knowledge being gained during your 2 years of partying and networking...
trader. It's easy to learn how to develop, you can teach yourself how to develop, but gaining knowledge on how a traders day-to-day world is like is not as easy to come by. If you go dev first, it may be harder to get that business knowledge further down the track
Oh it is ok. I was a little confused, because I tried to read up on future options and options as much as possible, and to still get question marks worried me. I mean to my knowledge, options can be traded as is without margin, while futures do need margin. If you are a starving artist, you can see the draw of not having to have margin to keep track of, but be able at the same time to learn about another market to trade in (commodities).
I feel like as millennials rise and become the next round of CEOs they'll already have more core knowledge than what a current traditional CEO has around concepts of technology. To me this is just the natural evolution of the CEO.    As far as current CEO's, ya great learn some tech stuff, however it won't really skyrocket them in my opinion (don't get me wrong, if you're CEO of Apple or Google, I'm going to guess you know some tech stuff). However for non-tech industries, if current CEO's want to learn more about tech I think that's great but, most of them still won't get it, they'll just say the normal buzzwords and enough to get by. Then a CTO/CIO will step up. Also one risk here is, you get a CEO who wants to learn tech or gets a wild hair and then they think they know everything and then the backsliding begins, I actually worked at a company that went this direction because a CEO learned about a new product that would replace our backend processing software and wanted everyone to start converting to it, then the CIO had to come in and take reins.
Some backstory before my questions.  I am a First year student in the UK  (course: Finance and Investment). In the future I would like to get into IB or PE. I already have CISI and CFA exams on my radar.   My questions are:  1) With the recent boom in cryptocurrencies should I start researching how they work and what are the future prospects of investing in them? Do you think it will become mandatory by 2020? Are GS employees currently working their butts off to learn as much as possible about it and how to profit?   2) What is the best way to network? Should I focus only on insight days,applying for shadowing/internships etc. Is cold-calling worth it?   3) Do actual people work in Clearing Houses? If so, what are the career prospects there?   4) Can someone give me a real life example (in the form of eli5) about how  financial institutions use swaps and futures?   5) I recently picked up “Lords of Finance” as a book for my spare time. I am genuinely intrigued but I was told that I am wasting my time and in the future it wont do me any good because no one will know I read it?   I am well aware most of these questions are basic but It will be very helpful if I even get one question answered. If some of these questions have already been answered please give me a link. Thank you in advance
"The penny/pink sheet stocks you tend to see promoted are the ones a) with small public floats or, b) they are thinly traded.  This means that any appreciable change in buy/sell volume will have an outsized effect on the stock's share price, even when the underlying fundamentals are not so great.  Promoters are frequently paid based on how much they can move a stock's price, but such moves are not long-lasting.  They peter out when the trading volumes return to more normal ranges for the stock because all of the hype has died out. There are some small-cap NASDAQ stocks which can be susceptible to promotion for the same reason -- they have small floats and/or are thinly traded.  Once someone figures out the best targets, they'll accumulate a position and then start posting all kinds of ""news"" on the web in an effort to drum up interest so they can sell off their position into the buying that follows.   The biggest problem with penny/pink sheet stocks is that they frequently fail to publish reliable financial statements, and their ownership is of a dubious nature.  In the past, these types of stocks have been targeted by organized crime syndicates, which ran their own ""pump and dump"" operations as a way to make relatively easy money.  This may still be true to some extent today.   Be wary of investing in any publicly-traded firm that has to use promoters to drum up investor interest, because it can be a serious red flag.  Even if it means missing out on a short-term opportunity, research the company before investing.  Read its financials, understand how it has behaved through its trading history, learn about the products/services it is selling.  Do your homework.  Otherwise you are doing the investing equivalent of taking your money and lighting it on fire. Remember, there's a good reason these companies are trading as penny/pink sheet stocks, and it generally has nothing to do with the notion (the promoters will tell you) that somehow the ""market has missed out on this amazing opportunity.""  Pump and dump schemes, which lie at the heart of almost all stock promotion, rely on convincing you, the investor, that you're smart enough to see what others haven't.  I hope this helps. Good luck!"
"&gt;&gt; Darling, if you are not a fan of Hillary (and the current DNC?), than why are you against Trump, who is not even career GOP politician?  &gt; I have already addressed this stupid idea that someone HAS to like one or the other.   Are you serious? Why would you vote for someone you don't like? I would never vote for someone I don't like! I can't believe I have to explain that to you.  Further, why would you even vote for a Party you don't like?  Another question: **I assume you did not vote for Trump. Is it because you did not like Trump?** Do you get why I am asked this question?  &gt; Trump has no idea what he's doing.  Absolutely not true and total fake news.  Let's start with Hillary, who has been in politics for 30 years and even secretary of state: does she know how to handle e-mail(s)? Does she know how to handle Russia? Does she know how to handle Benghazi? Can you tell me of one ""accomplishment"" by Hillary in her long service?  Back to Trump: he's very smart, which is mostly to choose the right people to do the work for him. He's correct with his agenda: against TPP, against illegal aliens, against terrorist supporting countries, investing in infrastructure, creating jobs, bringing jobs back to America, replacing the horrendous ObamaCare (AKA ""affordable"" Care Act), etc.  **What action by Trump so far show that he's not smart?** Give me one example, please."
You can't cash the check silly.  How can you go off on a rant when you can't even tell the difference between a real check and a promotional tool.  If you don't want to call in an get info throw it away....simple.  This thread made me laugh.  Thanks for that.  Good day.
A lot of people will probably talk about appearance, body language and all the rest of the social stuff  I say..If you have evidence to prove you are competent to do the job, concentrate on that..just the facts, clearly explained  Of course, if you are incompetent..get a nicer suit, learn how to shake hands and practice brown-nosing
Agreed, but there's also a modifier these days of how fast you can learn new things. It definitely helps get your foot in the door to know someone, but to be more 'employment agile' one really needs to be able to pickup and learn new concepts all the time.
"Listen the fuck up. I'm about to tell you how to get a job in one of the most competitive industries in the fucking country. I did what I'm about to fucking tell you, and it fucking worked. I'm a civil engineer by degree. After a year of slaving away and a raise that hardly kept up with inflation, I got fed the fuck up. Here's what I did. Open up your browser. Chrome is the best, but Netscape will do. Now go to that fucking search engine that owns the rest of them... Bin--- I mean Google. Now search some variation of ""finance firm (insert city)"" or ""private equity (insert city)"". Your goal here is to find the firms or companies around you that you're interested in getting a job with (probably fucking all of them at this point). Now... You've got all these fucking firms that field applications from little shits like you all fucking day long. People always say it, ""You gotta stand out"". What better way to peacock their asses than to e-mail the CEO/Managing Director of the bitch. What's that you say? You don't have their e-mail address? Yeah. Yeah you do. Use the website address as the domain of the e-mail and try a generic jdoe@ or john.doe@ or john@ or johnd@ . One of them will work somewhere between 82%-83% of the time. Now to the content of the e-mail. Don't fucking ask for ""potential employment opportunities"" and don't be a cocky bitch and tell him how qualified you are to get his coffee... Ask him what he does for a living and how you're really interested in what he does (asset management, fixed income, mortgage trading, lean hog trading, PE, VC, angel investing, M&amp;A). The more specific this is, the better.
Learn to build software and create a product. The peoples will use your program, will pay you for that and you don`t need be there all the time. (Time is money) The software will work for you (In theory) and will can make how many copies you want. How many more people need you, more rich you get. Think about that.
Frankly, you should probably learn to write code and use a data science package. Pandas lets me do the shit I'd do in excel 10 times quicker with more data and I can generalize it instead of working with just one file. As with most white-collar fields nowadays, writing code or at least understanding how to use it to enhance your productivity is very very attractive.
For me, spending my spare time on my career offers better return on investment (time) than stock investing, so I don't have the time to try to craft strategies about stock confusion anyway. It just serves as further proof to me that trying to time the market on short time scales is doomed unless you can account for all the irrationality of human behavior.
"I was going to ask, ""Do you feel lucky, punk?"" but then it occurred to me that the film this quote came from, Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood, is 43 years old.  And yet, the question remains. The stock market, as measured by the S&P has returned 9.67%  compounded over the last 100 years. But with a standard deviation just under 20%, there are years when you'll do better and years you'll lose. And I'd not ignore the last decade which was pretty bad, a loss for the decade.  There are clearly two schools of thought. One says that no one ever lost sleep over not having a mortgage payment. The other school states that at the very beginning, you have a long investing horizon, and the chances are very good that the 30 years to come will bring a return north of 6%. The two decades prior to the last were so good that these past 30 years were still pretty good, 11.39% compounded.  There is no right or wrong here. My gut says fund your retirement accounts to the maximum. Build your emergency fund. You see, if you pay down your mortgage, but lose your job, you'll still need to make those payments. Once you build your security, think of the mortgage as the cash side of your investing, i.e. focus less on the relatively low rate of return (4.3%) and more on the eventual result, once paid, your cash flow goes up nicely.   Edit - in light of the extra information you provided, your profile reads that you have a high risk tolerance. Low overhead, no dependents, and secure employment combine to lead me to this conclusion. At 23, I'd not be investing at 4.3%. I'd learn how to invest in a way I was comfortable with, and take it from there.  Disclosure (Updated) - I am older, and am semi-retired. I still have some time left on the mortgage, but it doesn't bother me, not at 3.5%. I also have a 16 year old to put through college but her college account i fully funded."
At this point, completely useless. In the beginning it was useful to get my foot in the door.   I still do the odd excel macro to automate some kind of analysis or valuation I do, but its like .. twice a year.  So not very useful at this point.  But I'd say that university taught me how to *learn* so its not as much about what i learned, but the process of learning how to learn effectively. Without that I wouldnt have been able to do the CFA, or learn anything else that I had to in order to get here.
"&gt; Follow the money and youll find the bullshit right there.  Are you trying to tell me that they aren't a bigger risk at the workplace when working with machines and other things?  Are you trying to tell me it doesn't impair them at all when they are high?  Are you trying to tell me the insurance company doesn't factor in risk at all?  You're argument just fell apart. Sorry kid. If you were trying to argue that those industries don't want it legal, that's one thing, but we are talking about a workplace and them being a bigger risk at the workplace so your argument doesn't apply here.  &gt; To be fair as well, where does a ""drug addicted looser"" go to get help in the United States  Are you kidding me? There are tons of places in every city that will provide help. Whether you're talking about government programs or rehabs, there are tons of places. You're just coming up with bullshit and excuses. You must be high yourself right now.  The truth of the matter is MOST don't want help at all. How many weed smokers do you know that think its an issue even if they smoke daily? They'll lie to your face and say its the greatest thing in the world, there are ZERO side effects or risks, and its ""organic."" These people are losers.   &gt; What risks as a community do we then inherit by ignoring such situations?  Tons of risks. Driving under the influence, being lazy and unproductive. Just read the damn article and it shows that these people aren't very hire-able. Why do you think so many live at home still when they are older? They lack motivation and are losers. That's why the damn illegal can do a better job even though he can't count to 10 in his own language and doesn't speak english. These losers are an issue for the country and economy. They even put strain on our health care system."
I can tell you the reason the people who are calling you think you ought to use life insurance as an investment. What they will tell you: It is a way to avoid taxes. What they are thinking: It is a way for me to sell an investment with a huge commission. Whole life insurance as an investment really doesn't make sense for all but a very small minority of investors. If you have people that depend on your income to survive, buy term life insurance. It is much more practical and affordable.
It is not your brokerage's responsibility to tell you **what** to buy, whether explicitly, or implicitly through their fee structure.  This is **not** an article about Robin Hood.  It's an argument condemning all active investing with repeated mostly-irrelevant mentions of Robin Hood as one of the hundreds of entities that makes that possible.
Yep - but plan when you approach your employer. Demonstrate to him/her that you are effective in what you do, tell them how much time this takes you in the working week and therefore how much capacity you have. Be very clear to them about what additional experience you would like (within what is feasible, of course) and suggest avenues through which you could be used more effectively. Don't approach your employer with a problem. Approach them with an opportunity. Book a 20min meeting with them. Given them a summary document at the meeting if you think it would help. Don't be scared to tell them, informally, that you are bored - but also hint that you need more intellectual stimulation.
What if I told you that Best Buy stores and the center that your laptop was sent to are completely different entities?  As a former employee, I knew about situations like this that happened to customers in my store.  Let me tell you that the employee behind the counter feels just a bad and helpless as you do when this stuff happens.
"Hi Ly Sok  You could give free maps out to your clients. Easily print these off. Talk about the city as you drive through pointing out good value restaurants and places of interest.   When someone buys something from me. I try to understand it as ""someone buying my time"" so I like to think of there problems.   Your clients are mostly tourists or locals I assume. Locals like to here local news and learn things -like new roads being built or a cinema opening. Crime and cool things going on.  Tourists want to make there money go further and so learning about the best local experience is often what they want to do. A pick up service is often appreciated and possibly you could emphasis to tourists how safe certain areas are and that maybe they should hide there flashy phone or camera in this area.   I feel recommendations are the way to go. Giving a number they can text you on makes it easier to send a location. For pick ups.   Since uber is a big thing for clients back home. Maybe you could parody the name   ""TukUber""  This would instantly make people remember you and you could also look at how you could make your service like uber on a personal level.   Sounds like a fun project. Good luck"
Easy for someone who knows absolutely nothing about business to say like yourself.   Are you going to pay for the lawsuit from an injury or death?   Don't try to tell me these weed smokers only do it occasionally. They're usually daily smokers and losers.
