All finance majors are on track to being poors lol only few finance majors get into IB from college and theyre all sternies, whartonites or state target school kids. most of IB is filled with liberal arts major kids from Ivies and other top 10s. a finance major is nearly worthless
## Speaker_1: ##
lol finance major in corp fin. silicon valley = easy low 6 figs out of graduation. IB isnt the only thing you can go into
## Speaker_0: ##
6 figs from target schools only, *highly* doubt you'll see those results from non targets (which 95% of finance majors are)
## Walls1337bot: ##
Lmao I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I go to a non-target and a lot of my friends are headed to Wall Street (Lazard, Goldman, JPM, etc). The ones that aren’t landed decent gigs making around 85k and up starting. It’s really all about applying yourself and networking, you don’t need the ivy degree.
## Speaker_0: ##
most likely back office or risk management then, and it doesnt have to be ivy, UVA and Mich are targets but they're also state schools
## Walls1337bot: ##
I go to Temple U, it’s a non-target. I transferred here from a semi-target for the free tuition. The majority of positions are IB analyst roles with some equity research positions at bulge brackets. We bust our asses and outperform most target school kids at super days since we know almost no one is gonna bat for us starting out.
Now granted 90% of temple’s business school students are brain dead retarded and will be back office nobodies but it’s not impossible by any means to stand out to the big banks. I know a couple kids that turned down offers from Wharton or transferred to come to Temple and all of them have gotten great internships or FT positions while on full-ride scholarships.

You spent the money in a tax-free account?

What do you mean? It’s for medical expenses only. The $400 covers my dentist saying hello to me.

What's sad is Walmart is one of the highest paying employers in my town. By a large margin

My cousin has a master's in data analysis and can't get a job.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Did he immediately get his masters like a retard? Now he can't get a job because he looks expensive but without experience. Should have been something he analyzed before hand.
## Speaker_3: ##
This makes me feel a lot better about my career decisions over the last 2 years. When do non-retards go back to school? With 2-3 years of experience? 5?
## Walls1337bot: ##
It depends. What is your current career trajectory? Will staying the course have better yeilds? Will a graduate degree bring enough benefit to offset the career delay it will cause?
What industry are you in?
## Speaker_3: ##
Uhm, CS / data analytics. I have no idea. Recession will make a big difference if it happens.
But I should probably just go back to school for my own self. Or start a business.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You will find more happiness going back for yourself. And unless you want to become a permanent cog, don't go back to further the hard science. You will benefit more from something business-y. Something that will allow you to take the data analytics and drive business decisions.

Be disappointed I wasn't approved of the 35k loan for AAPL calls a few days ago.
Instead I'll just continue to make a much smaller profit.
Oh well.
## Speaker_0: ##
Dodged a bullet IMO. Gambling with a personal loan prrrrrroooooobably ain't the wisest move.
## Speaker_1: ##
What do you mean dodged a bullet? My apple calls are up like 30%. This guy would be laughing right now.
## Walls1337bot: ##
My AAPL calls that I do have are up 100% already. Realistically I would've covered profits now and paid off the loan in full.

Yeah I've heard they are basically high risk lotto tickets. But since I'm new to this I'm only playing with around with <$100, so getting mad lucky on $5 seems worth the risk if I'm comfortable with the reality I'll probably lose it.
## Speaker_0: ##
When I looked up the definitions of puts / calls it seemed like you would have to actually own the share price, is that not the case?
## Walls1337bot: ##
bullish shit aside: When you purchase options (calls or puts) you're not purchasing stocks - you're purchasing the right to buy those stocks at a certain price.
You don't actually have to own those stocks to participate in calls or puts- unless of course you're selling covered calls or puts. If you don't know what that is, my limited drunken financial advice will not suffice - do your research. The internet is your oyster.

Here's something spectacular. Numbers. I've been using numbers to trade for many years and it's worked 80+% of the time. FSComeau on the other hand is right 50% of the time, so, even inversing him is unpredictable.

Take Two priced the beat in yesterday. Stock is still a good long tho, they have two esports games in Call of Duty and Overwatch, and we are just beginning to see eSports really take off. I bought stock in it at $14, and I'm still not selling.
## Speaker_0: ##
Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm not counted towards the e-sports? I know they aren't huge but they still have them.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm biased towards FPSes as eSports, so I don't really follow those two. Do they have majors? If so, how many people tune in to watch? Genuinely curious.
## Speaker_1: ##
NFL and NBA team owners are buying esports teams to get into Lol and Overwatch. Kraft, who owns the Patriots, bought a team to buy into the Overwatch league.
It's getting fucking nuts.
## Walls1337bot: ##
This is our opportunity to get into the ground floor for stuff like the NFL/NBA/MLB. IMO, eSports have a huge appeal because everyone can play them immediately after watching them. You only need a computer, and those get cheaper every year. With real sports, you have to be somewhat good, buy the gear and get enough people together. eSports, you can watch the match and play at the same time.
This is a value investment, but it will pay out in the end. Like I said, I've been holding ATVI since $14 and am currently sitting at 255% gain, but I am still holding.

They all fucking do it, Chantix for example, I used to get that shit for $330/mo ~3 years ago, I got some a few months ago at the same pharmacy and it was $908 the first month, $938 the next, and $968 the next, every month these fucks tack on another $30.
## Speaker_1: ##
I quit cold turkey and it only cost me punching a bunch of fucks in the throats for about a month.
## Speaker_0: ##
I never could without assistance, chantix is amazing, I quit every time I've taken it but I have a high stress job, work all nighters under stress, and when I'm up after 2am with my mind fried I break down and smoke, every goddamn time. Even if I haven't smoked for 3+ months it just hits me.

The Founder of Victoria’s Secret jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. He sold the company for a fraction of what it’d be worth just a few years later and squandered away that money with other failed business ventures.
## Speaker_2: ##
Not really the same since his Victoria’s Secret company looked nothing like the successful company that you see today. It’s the equivalent of if you sold Nokia the tank company and saw the cellphone company take off and then kill yourself. Like yeah that same company is worth way more now but you would have never gotten the company there on your own.
## Speaker_3: ##
To add to your point, if he owned 10% of Nike, that ownership would have been diluted several times in the run up to Nike being what it is today. Mergers, acquisitions, financing rounds, all change equity stakes.

well no, those represent a small portion of global trade and a minuscule portion of american GDP.

For example, all indices are down for the week this week cuz of tarrif fears
