I was just wondering because many of you are very knowledgeable, and I figured the knowledge had to have come from direct experience or many years of trading. I'm an undergrad right now studying finance, so I am trying to learn.
I'm taking finance and investment classes along with my MBA, but I'd like to get a job in finance once I graduate
That's cool. I got my undergraduate BBA finance at Baylor. Then I got a masters in finance from Texas. If you want to bounce some ideas off me regarding internships or course selection you can email me below. I maintain connections throughout industry in IB, CRE, and PE shops still.
on what side of it investing - mutual fund, buy side? banking - investment banking, commercial banking real estate - pe shop, lending, development corporate finance consulting finance is a very broad term now
i'd like to work as an analyst at a trust, mutual or hedge fund, investment banking, or real estate development. i've taken intro to finance, managerial finance, investment finance and next semester i'll be taking portfolio theory. i don't have any work experience in finance, so i know i'll have to take an entry position either way i go.
hit me up at my email below. I have a lot of different experience in finance. I started off working at an institutional trust group as analyst then progressed to relationship manager level. Then I went to graduate school and got into RE investment banking both on the commercial side and esoteric ABS side. I worked in structured finance group of the RE Investment Banking Group for Goldman Sachs. I can at the very least help you with some networking or just talk to you about what you are interested in.
DXY to 89 seems like the next move to long term resistance. USD has been helped by the market consistently under pricing interest rates and then being surprised by FOMC comments. Furthermore the basket of currencies that comprises DXY including the Yen have been dropping hard due to their intervention recently. Euro zone facing deflation and Germany weak as ever. Weak commodities (CRB Index) as well. All recipe for bullish King Dollar. I've had long USD bias since first mention of taper in 2012. At that time I ended being bullish on Gold after so many years. As for Gold itself, I think a DXY move to 89 will place it right at my target of 1000-1050. I'm not too confident that we'll see explosive movement to the upside at that point, probably just some stabilization and sideways action.
yea that's why I emailed you to look to buying it once it broke $60. the 63c I suggested went from 45c to $1.55 at the day high not bad for a day trade. didn't do it though. was going long on bidu on the dip.
this morn buy program on draghi talking about balance sheet expansion pushed indices higher. interesting last 30 min on this drawdown especially iwm which been lagging all day. I was thinking 117.80 would be the top on this thing.
On iwm, I may go short if it goes under the lowest low of the previous up day which is 115.86. It seemed to just bounce off a higher price point today. I think IWM was lagging even with the buy program on indices today.
when i look back on this, I think it was just yelp being added at the beginning of the month. It started to come back off 63.74 w/o the market drawing down, and then when the market pulled back it went with it and then some. If it goes under $60 tomorrow, then this up move over $60 isn't anything to be looked at.
This may have had something to do with it: NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Yelp rose 5.78% to $63.47 in morning trading Monday after Barclays increased its EPS and revenue estimates on the online customer review company for 2015 and 2016. Barclays cited Yelp's presence in numerous foreign markets as one of the reasons for the increase. "Yelp has a presence in 66 foreign markets and there is a TAM of close to $100B in global local ad spend. But international revenues have remained sluggish so far at a ~$3M quarterly run rate, due in part to entrenched competition and cultural barriers but more so because it's still early days," the firm wrote in a research note. "In this note, we analyze domestic cohort trends to predict the pace of international revenue growth, and based on our findings, we are raising our 2015 and 2016 revenue estimates."
Looks like CHUY missed by a cent on 3Q. After hours it's off about 11% to 27.00. You holding this long term?
