December 2007


2007忘年会渋谷隆重举行。
半杯gin-tonic把我搞得晕忽忽的,后来什么红酒白酒都没有喝。
料理都不错,但是我把红肉都skip乐。
吃完如约去了卡拉OK,有史以来最多人,大家都疯爽了。
吃饭的高潮是三谷,OK也是他。没想到他还真是个活宝,而且是个大活宝!
路易斯要求我点以前每次都和TT长的nelly, 她亲自上阵,模仿TT,把大家豆的笑翻了天。
emailTT汇报,他说他感到很荣幸。我又不小心,开始很想他,他说他也很想我,说还好有照片,想我的时候可以看看。
我心里很明白,这种感觉,不会走远,如果某一天,不见了,是因为我们不想为一个没有结果的牵挂而黯然神伤了。人都是脆弱的,我们要学会爱自己。
3点赶到家,收拾东西差不多,就该赶机场来冲绳了

林总找到了公证处的熟人,可是熟人在NJ要1月份才能回NT.
他的熟人林总也找了,人家基本上还是要安章程办事。
我告诉林总,茅迪加的关系比他硬,林总最后问我,你希望我干什么。
我希望你能找到更硬的。他说,我知道了,你希望我能把什么证明都开出来,我说,en ,那样最好。
我是通过戴总再找到茅迪加的,林总和茅迪加居然幼儿园就是同学,我和茅迪加是高中+初中同学。
茅迪加和戴总关系也不一般,戴总和林总是高中初中对我最好的男同学,嘿嘿,事件把我们有拉倒了一起。
我常常犯云搞不清楚哪些是高中同学哪些是初中同学,因为各种维系,很难分割,而维系其实就是我本人。
人生满有意思的,有时候想想,中国要不是因为有那么不健全的事,大家不需要找关系走后门,大家就没有机会来往了,那样很不好很不好呀。
所以,我忽然希望,他们继续现在‘逼良为娼’的破体系,逼我们在做坏事前精良找找关系,也好让缘分继续,50年不变!
 
言归正传,让茅迪加拿BJ公证处的‘档案所在单位’开证明说法,去再求求情,希望能有突破。
 
神助一臂之力!
 
当然也是大胜而归。
 
在公司7-10月,其间米国呆了1个半月。10月底开始休假,然后打官司,工资付到12/3。
官司打赢,拿了额外的200万
世界上就是有这么多unfair的事情的。
 
我没有嫉妒新妹妹,因为她是朋友,自己人我替她高兴。
如果不是自己人,俺也不嫉妒。unfair的产生根本不是因为有人有特权,有人凶猛,有人霸道,
而是允许这些存在的弱势力,他们放弃追求平等,放弃保护正义,放弃维护劳苦大众权益的弱势力。
 
这个世界原本没有平等可言,我没有为此悲叹过,但是我也从没放弃追求自己的权益以及我能接受的公平待遇。
为此,在必要的时候不得不放弃原有的弱势力,最求可以依靠信赖的新实力。
不光是公司,包括周围所有影响你的环境因素。
 
一下子来了两个visitor都是华裔,一个祖籍台湾,一个祖籍香港。
他们都会说一些基本的中国话,认识大中小,天地,哥哥弟弟之类的,会写自己的名字。
他们的父母都没有要求他们学中文,他们自己也如同其他米国孩子一样,没想要学。他们在家也不说,他们也不回去。香港弟弟长这么除了巴黎就没有离开过米国。
他们都后悔当初没有学,现在想学,又觉得晚了(不晚!)
我就时不时地和他们说中国话,教他们认中国字。
我相信他们的父母一定会很开心看到他们的孩子能自己pick Chinese.
我明天要去给他们买珍珠奶茶和茶叶蛋。
香港弟弟要吃鸡软骨,这个没问题。台湾弟弟要吃臭豆腐这个很难。。
 
Hello everyone
I’ve been copying-and-pasting some useful info for a while. Now the situation is reversed.
I hope this isn’t any kind of copyright infringement. Thank you all!
____________________________________________________________________

This mnemonic is useful when trying to remember what goes below the line.

___________________________________________________

Anyone got any good ones? These are usually good for last minute prepping.

I saw this one off another AF member:

Type I Error – RTN (Reject True Null)
Type II Error – FRFN (Fail to Reject False Null)

Here’s two of mine:

In regards to premium and discount bonds and the effect on CFO, just remember the opposite is true for CFF.

CFO – premiunderstated/ discouverstated

Utilitarianism – Communist
Symmetry Principle – Capitalist

Anyone got good ones?

________________________________________________

I thought of 3 and they may sound weird but this is what I thought of when I was studying.

Sharpe Ratio – Michael Richards has a sharp tongue. (Market returns – risk free rate) / standard deviation. Market returns = Michael. risk free rate = Richards. sharp = standard deviation.

Coefficient of correlation – Russians in San Diego. covariance / (standard deviation 1 * standard deviation 2). CCC is a Russian acronym which is correlation coeffiicent covariance. San Diego is standard deviation.

Dow – Police department. Police = price weighted. Department = dow. The dow is a price weighted index.

I said they may sound weird but I remember them.

________________________________________

In any case I found some mnemonics I’ve scribbled down with regard to the Code of Ethics.

AICDR — II — RCIPJ — PPC — PIU — MIPC

1. ACT with INTEGRITY, COMPETENCE, DILIGENCE, RESPECT (*AICDR*) and in an ethical manner with the public, clients, prospective clients, and other participants in the global market.

2. Place the INTEGRITY of the investment profession and the INTEREST (*II*) of the clients above their own personal interests.

3. Use a REASONABLE CARE and exercise INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT (*RCIPJ*) when conducting investment analysis, making investment decisions, taking investment actions, and engaging in professional activities.

4. PRACTICE (*PPC*) and encourage others to PRACTICE in a professional and ethical manner that will reflect CREDIT on themselves and the profession.

5. PROMOTE the INTEGRITY of and UPHOLD (*PIU*) the rules governing, capital markets.

6. MAINTAIN and IMPROVE their PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE (*MIPC*) and strive to maintain and improve the competence of other investment professionals.

In any case I don’t understand how I could possible memorize that list for more than five minutes:
1. AICDR
2. II
3. RCIPJ
4. PPC
5. PIU
6. MIPC

Maybe it’s easier in this way.
1. I SEE, DARJEELING FOR ALL.
2. AY-AY!
3. RECIPE (FOR SUCCESS IS A)
4. PEACHY
5. PIOUS
6. PIC

___________________________________________

Portfolio mgmt / Investment policy
TURTLe
T – Time horizon / constraint
U – Unique requirement
R – Regulatory /legal req
T – Tax concerns
L – Liquidation / earlier needs

_________________________________

As a handy mnemonic, remember "he’s leveraged up to his ass/balls" means "he has borrowed a lot of money". You may want to repeat this a few times until it gets tattooed onto your brain.

___________________________________

Ok, here’s a few that are guaranteed to be on the test, but make sure your in your last minute Level I prep that you’ve done the Schweser exam posted on this site.

Here’s a couple that will put you over the top:

1. Know the 5 factors determining intensity of competition within an industry:

Remember SERBS

– The 5 factors that determine industry attractiveness:

Suppliers of raw materials
Entrance Barriers
Rivalry
Buyers (power over product/pricing)
Substitute products
2. Know Risk from Lowest to Highest

Remember: British Broadcasting Corp Has Silly Office Comedies All Fall

Bill/Bond/Corp/House/Stock/Office(commercial RE)/Coins/Art/Futures

3. Assumptions underlying CAPM model"

"CAPM Prices Hold Borrowers and Lenders;
Taxes and Transactions ReMOVe RiSC"

Investors are PRICE takers.
(Eliminates negotiated deals.)
2. All investors have the same HOLDing period.
(Eliminates time risk.)
Investors can only BORROW and LEND at the
risk free rate.
(If not you’ll have two CMLs, two CAPMs and
no equilibrium.)
No TAXES and TRANSACTION costs.

Investors are all Rational Mean Variance
Optimisers. (ReMOVe)
All investors have the same expectations for
Return, Standard deviation and Correlation.
(RiSC)

4. Portfolio Management Level I

Steps in Decision Making Process = OSMAP

OBJECTIVES STRATEGIES MONITOR (THE MARKET) ADJUST PORTFOLIO

5. Steps to carry out OSMAP = SEXPOP

SPECIFY OBJECTIVES EXPECTED RETURNS POLICY STATEMENT
OPTIMUM PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE MONITORING

6. elastic and inelastic demand curves (economics)"

If you have trouble remembering the difference between elastic and inelastic demand curves, remember that:
Inelastic’ starts with a capital I, that is, a vertical line, so prices can move up or down but the demand remains the same.

Similarly, ‘elastic’ starts with an ‘e’, which has a horizontal line in it, so
demand can move to different levels but the price remains the same.

7. Know the characteristics of a good market

Remember "I LIE" (nothing personal)

Information (timely and accurate)

Liquidity : marketability , price continuity and depth

Internal efficiency low transaction costs

External efficiency prices adjust quickly to new info

"A Great Big Sled"

This snowman is shaping up to be an 8,
But not out of 10,
The robots awake to find that they’ve been taped down,
Wondering when they’ll break through these chains,
But little boys have action toys for brains,
I’m living proof it can last a long time,
Now the girls off the street are innocent and sweet,
When they’re all in bed,
They got their make-up and dreams of wonderland,
Sprinkled inside their heads,
And soon they will change,
But tonight Hollywood has never seemed so strange,
Now mother’s pray it’ll last a long time.

I want to roll around like a kid in the snow,
I want to re-learn what I already know,
Just let me take pride,
Just to rev through the night,
On a great big sled.

I want to wish you merry christmas,
Ho Ho Ho.

Now they boys are all grown up,
And their working their fingers to the bone,
They go around chasing them girls on the weekend,
You know they still can’t be alone,
I’ve been racking my brain,
With thoughts of peace and love,
How on earth did we get so mixed up?
I pray to god it don’t last a long time.

I want to roll around like a kid in the snow,
I want to re-learn what I already know,
Just let me take pride,
Just to rev through the night,
On a great big sled.

I hear the sound of bells,
There’s something on the roof,
I wonder what this night will bring.

I want to roll around like a kid in the snow,
(I hear the sound of bells)
I want to re-learn what I already know,
(There’s something on the roof)
Just let me take pride,
(I wonder what this night will bring)
Just to rev through the night,
On a great big sled.

I want to wish you merry christmas,
(Can’t do that)
I want to wish you merry christmas,
(Can’t do that).

Taken a practive exam earlier – this is what Oscaar told me.
 
 
http://www.elitebook.net/cfa.asp
 
――ありもしない指輪を見つめて、綺麗と囁いた、君の涙。
 日を追うごと、時を経るごと、あの時の涙が僕の胸をしめつける。
 会いたい。ただひたすら君に会いたい。
 あの細くて折れそうな指にいつか、本物の指輪をはめてあげたい。
 あの儚げな笑顔を、本物の幸せで満たしてあげたい。
 ただ不器用な者同士、肩を寄せ合って暮らしていけたなら、 
 君の顔を見て、君の声を聞いて、暮らしていけたなら。
 ――それが僕の心からの願いなんだ。
 
ついに続も見てきました、みんなと一緒に泣けました。やっぱり素晴らしい映画です。
 
再别康桥

 
轻轻的我走了,正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳,是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影,在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇,油油的在水底招摇;
在康河的柔波里,我甘心做一条水草!
那榆荫下的一潭,不是清泉,
是天上虹揉碎在浮藻间,沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦?撑一支长篙,向青草更青处漫溯,
满载一船星辉,在星辉斑斓里放歌。
但我不能放歌,悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默,沉默是今晚的康桥。
轻轻的我走了,正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳,是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影,在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇,油油的在水底招摇;
在康河的柔波里,我甘心做一条水草!
那榆荫下的一潭,不是清泉,
是天上虹揉碎在浮藻间,沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦?撑一支长篙,向青草更青处漫溯,
满载一船星辉,在星辉斑斓里放歌。
但我不能放歌,悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默,沉默是今晚的康桥。
 
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duck weeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
To seek a dream?
Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects keep silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
