"&gt; I spent 2+ years building a business that now brings me ""passive income""  There is a distinction between putting a lot of hours into building a semi autonomous business and having your Accountant and Tax Lawyer find legal loopholes so you can avoid millions of dollars of debt again and again.  I'm not sure where you disagree with me. Do you not believe it is preferable that people earn a living by providing a product or service of value, rather than manipulating financial tools and laws?  What would become of an economy if 50% of a population decided  they didn't like working and so took up speculating stock prices full time?  Yes, it is ""smart"" to abuse every existing loophole, but it is not ethical and it is certainly not sustainable without being to the detriment of others. I prefer a system where people have integrity and where manipulating others is looked down upon, rather than admired."
Technical analysis is insufficient. You're halfway to figuring it out if you start to question why a 50 day moving average vs 200 vs 173. Invest in companies that are attractively valued vs. their sales/growth/divends/anythingelsereal
"I am starting to suspect that you don't really have a position to stand on other than ""gubment bad"".   Even though I suspect I am going to be beating my head against a wall, I will give it a shot anyways:  Okay, so why shouldn't government invest in *anything*?"
i see what you're saying. however, the point of the article was essentially a criticism of our current variety of capitalism. so i don't think my points are off topic at all. and i'm also not challenging capitalism as a system myself - rather, that the present system invokes these impractical assumptions.
Re-invest it in the business, invest it long-term somewhere. It is a very bad business practice to have too much cash lying around. That cash could either generate a higher profit % used in the business or it could generate more money long term being invested somewhere. It seems apple has now done the latter, up until now it's been largely invested in cash-like things.
&gt; Can we agree that some of the people who do not like the current job market have the option of trying to start a new business?  Most certainly.  Would you agree that for most people in minimum wage jobs this is not a realistic option?
You might consider looking in the mirror. You are continuing to launch your verbal tirades. I've provided a significant amount of support - I could continue if you like.   You, however, have no provided any support at all. You are just some guy on the internet shouting from lonely mountain about how undergrad students should go straight to business school. It's foundationally wrong.   You don't like being challenged and I'm challenging your views. Additionally, you do know in business that you need to provide support, so saying that you don't need to back anything up flies in the face of any business sense. Simply making a comment first doesn't entitle you to a free pass, you should defend your position if you feel so strongly about it.   I do have an MBA and I'm a CFA charterholder. I'd be more than happy to connect with you outside of reddit to validate my credentials.
If your refund is so small (like $20 - $25), and it's not worth receiving, it can be put towards next years just to give you a slight edge.
Depends, sure you could save a buck or two here and there but maybe that time could be used for better things - i.e. earning a side income It's all situational and relative to you and where you are in life - try things, don't be afraid of mistakes
you need to use easy programming language to imply onto a scan  where you enter Scan all stocks  display if volume < (less than) 100
The partition is more or less ok, the specific products are questionable. Partition. It's usually advised to keep 2-3 monthly income liquid. In your case, 40-45 kEUR is ca. 24-27 kEUR netto, i.e. 2000-2250 a month, thus, the range is 4-7 kEUR, as you are strongly risk-averse then 7k is still ok. Then they propose you to invest 60% in low-risk, but illiquid and  15% in middle or high risk which is also ok. However, it doesn't have to be real estate, but could be. Specifics. Be aware that a lot (most?) of the banks (including local banks, they are, however, less aggressive) often sell the products that promise high commissions to them (often with a part flowing directly to your client advisor). Especially now, when the interest rates are low, they stand under extra pressure. You should rather switch to passively managed funds with low fees. If you stick up to the actively managed funds with their fees, you should choose them yourself.
Possible alternative: In my case, the part-time locksmithing is a small enough portion of my I come that I just submit it as hobby income, rather than trying to track it as a separate entity.
See how you can only make the premium amount but your risk is the same as holding the stock when writing a put option.
Good luck if you signed up. I am taking it as well. I'm working full time also, studying is tough. I don't know why other guys said it would pigeon hole you or it was too narrow, the nature of the CFA is that its broad. I don't think these guys know much about the CFA....
You should begin job searching NOW. I'm going to echo the rest of everyone here and say that the CFA is nice and all but not key to getting a job. Get networking and get experience. Without experience, you have a lot of knowledge that you've never used before in a practical setting and practical knowledge trumps textbook knowledge most days of the week.
&gt; A CFA is getting common but it might help - it probably won't hurt at least.  MS and MBA's are dime a dozen compared to CFA's.  If you want to move into trading/research/port mgmt, a CFA is as desired (and allows better networking opportunities via CFA societies) than a MS.  Other than that, I will second the majority of what you said.
Most jobs pay for cfa.   Not so many for MBA.  Even MBA the biggest criteria is quality of work experience and GMAT.   I'd advise to focus now on what you want as a career and really try and get an internship in that field while in undergrad.  Rest will fall into place.   Cfa and top15 MBA grad so been through both paths
There is a BWW down the road from me. There's also a local gastropub down the road that has wings that are just as good as BWW if not better. The local gastropub is cheaper, has better happy hour specials, has a better atmosphere, treats their workers well and is locally owned.   Why on Earth would I go to BWW? Really not hard to understand.
dont dare throw facts into their preconceived notions that unions are always evil and at fault for everything on the planet.  I wonder how mister police offices pay compares to the top 1% when you look at disparity between ceo and cop pay today, versus 1950... I'm betting(but am not claiming like right wingers do), I am betting that if you look at it percentagewise in the form of disparity, it is this cop who is earning closer to the correct pay, it just seems way high as we have gotten used to lower pay, less benefits and two people working in every family.
"&gt; There is nothing stopping you from doing a city/country/state proposition (laws vary).   Sure there is.  Corporate lobbyists, FOX News, the Tea Party, and many others have demonized the word ""union"" to the point that the Wal-Mart workers will refuse to fight for their own benefit.  It's like pushing on rope; there's no concerted effort.  I can get all my ""lefty"" friends to agree on this, but if the Wal-Mart workers don't do the heavy lifting themselves, it's a non-starter.  &gt; Flailing at Walmart isn't a solution.  Pointing out what I perceive to me immoral behavior isn't ""flailing"".  But true enough, posting on Reddit won't exactly change things.  Neither will what you suggest.  Unfortunately, it will take a lot more pain in this country for people to realize the system they support is working against them.  Another decade?  More?  Hard to say."
I'm Asian (Korean).  My parents gave me a choice between doctor and world-leading anything.  Want to join a band?  You better be the next fucking U2.  I ended up getting into Stanford for engineering and working for Google.  They won't be happy until I launch a world changing product or become an exec.  It's exhausting.
While I agree with your sentiment that trades will be more useful than a university degree now and in the near future (at least in Canada). It worries me that the social mobility for this generation will lean to blue collar jobs.   After a generation this will build a social hierarchy of blue collar labour workers and company/owners. The university degree holders will be weaned out to the sidelines, intellectualism is being sidelined. If this keeps up we're going back to feudalism.
This article is almost as bad as Fox News, but I'd expect that from a SF paper covering gun companies. Let's stir up some controversy on what this firm is doing?! Are they trying to take over the world and arm all the evil-doers?! Well, no... Are they really controlled by a super-liberal that will dismantle them to keep bad guns away from society?! Well, no...  Turns out it is just a smart play by a firm that sees an opportunity to make money.  Now let's wrap it up with a story about a sweet old man that helped out his former employees.  WAIT, WHAT?! How is this considered journalism?
"Sitting for the exam won't really make you ""stand out.""  If it was a choice between evilyogurt vs. evilyogurt and taking CFA L1 I suppose I would take the latter.  But if it was a choice between evilyogurt CFA L1 and goodyogurt w/ internship or some experience I would choose the latter.  So in other words, it won't really open doors but it certainly won't hurt.  Only take it if it is what you want to do, not to stand out.  Also, most places care more about the letters CFA than actually taking the exam and they know you need 4 years qualifying work experience.  So they don't really care if you have taken it now or a year from now cause you won't be able to use those letters for four years anyway.  Anyway, good luck on your job search."
"Ah, so you are using your eminent academically-originated artistic talents to create elegant [""coffee foam art""?](http://www.google.com/search?q=coffee+foam+art)  Well THAT certainly was worth all those years of study, not to mention the student loans.

The comparisons are disingenuous. The lowest paid, part time worker at one factory is making almost twice the Chinese national median wage, and one at another factory is making as much as the median wage in one of China's wealthiest cities.  It's okay to just say the wages suck.
"I think this needs a name. Butthurt by proxy, maybe?  Perhaps it was pedantic, but the misquote doesn't help an otherwise good comment. Of course, the OP could have been aiming to create a new euphemism for ironic self-destruction, in which case ""hung from their own gallows"" might have been better."

You should've been job searching/networking instead of studying for that dumbass CFA. If you find out you failed, you COMPLETELY wasted your time. If you pass, you now have a CFA L1 or whatever with no experience.  If you went to a well known school and can't find ANYTHING you clearly aren't trying hard enough. Make a LinkedIn and lurk the hell out of the alumni groups. Offer to intern for free. You need SOMETHING to cover the white space on your resume
Since cashiers, and everyone else, should have to suffer for the failures of our upper classes over the past 30 years, I propose we include the upper classes in this roster of those who should suffer. Would that be okay, or should they continue to do better and better while the rest of us do worse?
A lot of people for some reason give hate to avenues of information gathering that aren't to their proper code of professionalism.   If a degenerate gives me great insight while a idiot dressed to the T gives me incorrect information then I'm going to go with the degenerate.   Good for you, good luck on your search.
Yea I know they are. I want to get them out of the way though and my firm gives me the support to take whatever. Cfp I'm looking at a year or more of studying. 9/10 I could crank out in a couple of months. Not sure if I want to go management or consultant route. But thank you!
Indeed.   And why should we incentivize careers that contribute to the good of mankind as opposed to careers that prey on mankind.   I'm with you.   If you want to help people, fuck you, be a poor.  If you don't want to be a poor, start a hedge fund and destroy the economy.
It is a paid internship. That is worthwhile enough. I work IB operations for a bulge bracket ibank and last year interning with them it started out with mundane things. Ask for more work, show them you are responsible, and things will get much better and far more productive. Truly, last summer was an incredible experience once I got settled in. It is worth the line on your resume, the networking abilities, and the future professional references just to tough it out, even if it doesn't get any better (which it will). The absolute WORST thing you can do in a job is leave unprofessionally and ruin the chance of getting any kind of recommendation in the future.
"&gt;ADDED: I'm pursuing a degree in Engineering. I guess that's why I'm stressing. I want to be out there in the feild doing tests, labs, sampling or research and development ... just anything but doing nothing. Or at least somthing that actually generates income for the bank. My department generates nothing because it's all compliance. I learned that my first day of work and that's when I knew this wasn't for me. :/    So do it. Put on some jeans and boots, buy your own equipment, find a ""field"" you find interesting, and go study/collect/sample it. You know what you want to do, you're just not doing it. WTF is up with that?"
That's a good point, and one I've recently been realizing too. I've been so focused on the aerospace and defense sector that I wasn't interested in anything else at first. Obviously I know now that's what has been causing my problems and I need to and have been changing my approach but it hasn't been successful yet, hence the post. But thanks for the advice, I had initially written off temp agencies (my temp job was through a friend not an agency) but now it looks like that may be one of my only choices at this point.
Wouldn't it be in China's best interest to improve labor standards and allow wages to rise so that they can build a proper middle class and develop a consumer economy? If that happens, that would help level the playing field and take away their advantage in cheap labor
Google 'Amazon workers conditions' or 'Amazon warehouse report' and have a read. Many newspapers have done undercover reports which touch upon issues like that. I could bring up the actual one but you'd be better served just reading a few.   A bit here:  https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/11/amazon-accused-of-intolerable-conditions-at-scottish-warehouse  Worse here:  https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/18/amazon-regime-making-british-staff-physically-and-mentally-ill-says-union  But this is the tip of be iceberg.
What specific area in finance are you interested in pursuing? If you are looking to go back office then it will have some value. That said, I would focus on picking up a CFA over a CPA, since fairly or not, a CPA does carry a certain stigma with it in finance.
Luck doesn't exist, any more than God or faeries.     A full time class load at my university was 7-10 credit hours per semester. I averaged 25 credit hours and finished a 4 year program in 2. All while working 40+ hours a week at four part time jobs. My days began at 5:00 a.m. and ended well after 10:00 p.m., six days a week.    I wouldn't have got the interview without *networking*, which for me involved joining a service club and serving as communications officer for a local professional association related to my industry. The president of the service club ended up being the stock broker of my future boss. The president of the professional association was in touch with the industry and was able to give me a lead on an internship weeks before it opened. Neither reference would have done me a damn bit of good if I hadn't *proven* to them that I was an outstanding candidate, something that's become obvious to me as I am now in the position to provide people with references myself. That's not luck, my intention at joining both organizations was to network and it's exactly what I did.    If you're looking for a job and you aren't networking you're doing it wrong.         EDIT: Oh man the butthurt on this thread is *sooooo* strong.     **EDIT: SCUMBAG REDDIT. HATES RELIGION ALL DAY EVERY DAY, STILL BELIEVES IN LUCK**
"In addition to the ""The Time Machine""-type society you're talking about where the working class basically end up devolving into hunting game for elites, i'd worry that the enhancement for the skilled-labor jobs you describe would include some dog collars. If I'm an enhanced engineer I'll start my own company, not make money for someone else. If I'm a super soldier I'd hit up academi (blackwater), not get treated like shit in the army. If these technologies can enhance intelligence, it can probably also steer traits like loyalty, ambition, etc to ensure that the person acts more like an appliance rather than a genius."
&gt; You're not an engineer, are you?  Of course I am.  And I run a business that employs nearly a dozen other engineers.  You've been working at the wrong places if you're this bitter and demoralized.  I'd encourage you to find a better job so you don't feel like you're merely swapping hours of your finite existence for cash.
Piece of shit article.   1.  Not everyone can suddenly be retrained to work with top-end tech.  Not everyone has that aptitude.   2.  The article admits that more competition depresses wages and that these low-paying jobs are already highly sought after.   4. They're overvaluing human empathy in the business world.  In fact, lack of empathy is benefitial or neutral in the fields most likely to be automated.   3. Their use case is someone who has gone back to school hoping to better his prospects, but in a field that is prime for reduction.   4.  Their use case also only has an associates degree with certificates that are generally considered resume padders in this industry, holding no other value.
Do you have an adviser/mentor for your thesis? I'd recommend talking to them about your goals and see if they have any insight. They might have a better idea of your credentials/capabilities etc. They will also likely be one of the ones to write a letter of rec, so it would be good to get them on board early.  If you're still at the same institution (or area) from your undergrad, then you could probably talk to any of the finance profs you liked as well. They could be helpful as well and would know more about your background.  Since you are doing a thesis anyways, I'd recommend trying to get it published. This would be something you would want to hopefully get your mentor involved with. The Association of Business Schools (ABS) journal rankings can give you an idea of where you might want to try to publish. I'd think anything at an ABS 2 (3 would be fantastic, a 4 as a masters student is really unlikely but would open almost any door) would really help your application. Although the timing is unlikely to work out (assuming you are working on the thesis and also applying to phd school this year) because the publication process takes a long time, being able to mention in your application that you were targeting a journal (or being able to provide an update that you received a 'revise and resubmit') might really help with your application. Also, if you end up waiting a year for phd school, you'd also have more time to get your thesis published.   I'd think the math/stat background should be pretty solid, even if you don't have all the calc.   A ton of your placement post phd will be determined by your phd school, so if possible, shoot high and try attend the best program you are accepted into. Rankings could give you a good idea of program strength. You can also look at the faculty members' cv. Seeing lots of ABS 4 or 4* articles in their research is a good sign that it would be a strong program.  I hope this helps. I'm not 100% what you mean by 'flagship' state school. If you are thinking top 20 (maybe Ohio State or comparable) then my advice may not apply as much, but if you are thinking in terms of a solid, reputable state school, then I think this might apply
Awsome thanks for the tips! I had the chance to choose in the Emerald Aisle at National which car when I was in LA...and they had base model Mustang vs Camaro vs Challenger...and in the end I went with a 300C but next time I'll try for something a bit sportier. I've heard that the visibilty in camaro is bad and the challenger is a whale...so Mustang may be best choice between the 3
I'm torn. On the one hand, it will be nice to see kids wearing stuff that doesn't make them look like walking advertisements. On the other hand, the much smaller apparel company I work for has been avoiding placing it's logo prominently on it's clothing since it's inception (I think it's a fantastic logo too). I don't want the added competition.
I'm on chapter 6 now. And I know for sure I need to study 1-4 the most. All the other chapters are coming to me easily since I work in a broker dealer back office processing most of this stuff.... I'll make sure to go through all the Q bank questions and practice questions, quizzes...etc.. thanks
&gt; Mr. Anthony quit last February, upset that Express had given him an annual raise of just 25 cents an hour. He now works at a Zara apparel store on Fifth Avenue, which, he said, gives him 30 hours a week and does more to accommodate his scheduling needs.  So, instead of bitching and moaning, he went and found a better job.  What a radical concept.  If you allow yourself to be used, you only have yourself to blame.
Ask for at least 10 references.  Ask for 10 because it will be harder for them to refer you to ringer references like their family or friends.
