Essential Quick Lil Gems on Dealing with Women

[RealAssanova]

if i remember correctly just from following the markets...interest rates --> currency --> commodities --> companies

for example:
higher US interest rates --> more demand for USD from treasury purchasers --> appreciation of USD ---> pricier for companies to by Oil from American companies --> Less demand for Oil ---> Oil price tumbles ---> US Oil & Gas firms seeing less foreigner revenue ---> stock price goes down accordingly all things else being equal

oversimplified of cours...but its the other way around...that interest rates affect commodities. It always starts with interest rates particularly in the US. I actually kinda learned that during an I-Banking interview with RBC. The reason is that US Treasuries are seen as the safe haven for investments given their liquidity and safety. If all else fails...people dump all their holdings and purchase US Treasuries for a steady return. The reason stocks have been flying is beacuse the interest rates have been so low in the US since the financial crisis. Thats why if you pay attention to the Fed minutes/meetings...any statements that make it seem like the raising of interest rates will be postponed even a little means will lead to stocks flying. It never fails...look at the news regarding yesterday and youll probably see something regarding it because stocks swung hard midday.

it's also why the USD has flown up (our CAD is TRASH right now)...because the market is anticipating rising rates and thus more demand for the USD.

you see this is what i mean fam.

there is a disconnect in my knowledge and i need to fill in the gaps.

i can't wait for exams to finish...so i can spend my summers reading and learning, while not under pressure. I feel like when i'm in school, i just study for the sake of passing and getting a good grade. There is the odd time though where i enjoy reading what i have to study and that stuff tends to stick around in my head longer. But i also feel when i'm less pressured, i retain more.

atleast you took courses in economics. We didn't even have an intro to economics course, let alone micro or macro and i can't take either of em in 4th year cuz they aren't offered as upper level professional courses.

i am gonna take a money and banking course next january though....cuz i may want to also go into banking in the future...maybe even open one up with my family back home.

Finance department is offsite
Its like a university with three campuses

Finance, hr, PR, and the foundation are housed offsite

Hospital us Still only 5 min away and i go there once a week but where i work its nothing but old women

My homie works in a hospital, he met his current girl at work, she is a fine caring sista. Feast well brotha, Im sure you gonna end up meeting someone at work. The chances are quite high, she mostly going to be a wifey type, to be a nurse you have to have some nurturing and caring characteristics.

I've been going hard with this programming. Started off with Javascript, but for some reason, I've really been into Java lately. Can't wait to start making decent programs.

i was bored so i hopped on pof and did a search of women 29-32

i made it up to page 22 and i only saw like 3 women I'd consider attractive

then i bumped it to 35 , ridiculous what women are still asking for.

While offering below average looks, a kid or two,

continues being out of the game

I made the cardinal sin of having sex with my ex and I'm regretting it already. I told her upfront that I don't want a relationship and she was all for it initially. Now, she's inviting me to her cousin's wedding as her +1 and now I'm the bad guy because I told her that I'm not coming due to the implications of her bringing me along to family wedding. She was all like "I don't have to introduce you as my boyfriend...I just wanted you to mix with my family and be my arm candy. Stop being unreasonable "

This little ordeal has shown me how much I've matured because before, I would been on the phone trying to apologise for my stance and negotiate a peace treaty but now, I just carry on doing what I'm doing. I'm not gonna let a woman back me into a corner and guilt me into something I told I'm not gonna do.

sleeping with an ex is mostly never ever worth it.
Secondly women can rarely separate sex and emotions. She probably meant she didn't want a relationship but after bonding with you again now the dopamine is off the charts.

I couldn't believe it when she started trying to guilt trip me because before, I know I would have fell for it without fail. I'm not even trying to be a player or anything because that's not a lifestyle I agree with so if this is the kind of stuff I would have to deal with, I'd rather remain celibate until finding the next woman I want to have a serious relationship with. I hate the manipulation games.

i have no time for stresses or mindgames anymore.

At this moment my life is the best its been in years.

a 15 min drive no traffic to work, a good paying job my boss is my brother in law no more manager trying to sabotage my success. No ex in my life draining my soul, no stressing or worrying about any chick, just concentrating on me and thsi beautiful life I've been blessed with.

I don't even casually date, I don't need any stress many women bring

This is the best way to be. We spend so much time building ourselves up that it's silly to start sabotaging ourselves by indulging in the many things we avoided. It's always good to have brief reminders in order to keep you on the right path though.

In some weird as way, I'm thankful my ex was hot and screwed me over and stressed me out. Because it's like my immunization, whenever I get the urge to be in a relationship I always remember it's not all sweet and sugar, I always remember how to people we looked like the perfect couple, when I was like screaming inside due to stress and anxiety. Not saying I'm fearful of relationships or anyting, just that I know most aren't worth it. Ones that are enriching the few the rare ones

aeverything else

my brother in law is my boss so wherever department I go I'll have a good word. But true i'm contemplating going back to school once I'm settled.

check if your new job has some sort of program that can pay your tuition.

accounting major at mac. I took all except one of the CPA required courses (Commercial Law) which i'll be doing once enrollment within the CPA prep module opens up. Its $400 through then but like 900 through Mac so i figured i'd choose them. Then I gotta go through the CPA testing process and garner my experience which will take two more years. I also plan on getting my CBV during this period ...

I'll probably stay at my current position for 2 years and then try to transfer to the Advisory branch of my firm particularly Transaction Services (reason for CBV) After working there for 3 or so years i'll then probably try to get into some Sell Side roles (Banking, Investment management or Equity Research specifically). If I cant break in i'll consider doing my MBA.

I wanted ask is this a good major for a person that is not that sharp in math but is intrested in finances?

accounting? certainly. it doesnt require difficult math.

the most math it might require MAYBE (probably not) is calculus for bond pricing and premium/discount amortization...but it isnt necessary.

everything else is regular BEDMAS type stuff

when you get into derivatives/risk mgmt is when math is more important
