Good IB podcasts?

T73 — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:11:27 -0400

Can anyone recommend a good IB podcast? I tried the one from WSJ but 90% of the times they talk about BS. Like yesterday they talked about organic grass treatment??? WtF?? I don't think Dealbook or FT Alphaville have one. Or am I wrong? I couldn't find one... I'm just looking for something that would give me a good overview of the markets with a little insight into M&A if possible...

Any ideas?

Excel shortcut

The excel shortcut for changing the font size (ctrl+shift+P) is not working for me. Everything else is working just fine. Any ideas what can be wrong??

Thanks a bunch!

iPhone

So, the new iPhone is out, supporting Microsoft Exchange and everything else that the corporate IT depts requested. Steve Jobs said that 5 largest sucurities firms and 5 largest commercial banks participated in beta testing of the iPhone. Does that mean we'll see analysts carrying around iPhones instead of BB's soon or do you think that lack of keyboard will prevent this from happening?

I got this bag as a graduation gift. Is it okay to carry it around as first-year analyst or am I gonna look like a total tool? :)

Macquarie Groups

T73 — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 10:37:24 -0400

Anybody knows anything about Macquarie industry groups in NYC? Just got an email from HR asking to pick a group but there is no sell day or any other source of information provided, so I don't really know what to base my selection on.. I know infrastructure is probably the strongest group in MacCap but I don't know anything about the other groups..

Thanks a lot for any insights!

Infrastructure PPP question

T73 — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:06:59 -0400

A friend of mine is working on a PPP (private-public partnership project) in infrastructure and asked me two questions about it, which I wasn't able to answer, but I am sure someone on this forum will be. I greatly appreciate any insights on this.

Income taxes in NY vs NJ

T73 — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:05:30 -0400

From an income-tax perspective, does it only matter where you work or does it also matter where you live. Woring in NYC/Manhattan, is NY or NJ a better option to live? I know I could just look up the income taxes, but there is also NYC city tax, which I assume doesn't apply in NJ. Everything else equal, are the taxes lower in NJ or NY?

Thanks

Thanks.
