Good matchup tomorrow night... anyone think Eagles have the upset?

Online Sports Gambling

DiPietro — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:05:27 -0400

There are more than a few of these services (Bodoglife, betus.com, bookmaker.com) available, but they all seem more than a bit sketchy. Does anybody have experience with a specific site they have found reliable as far as cash payouts and whatnot? NFL season is here and I need some entertainment.

Energy Trading Message Boards

Can anyone recommend a message board focused more on energy trading?

Hoos with SA positions

DiPietro — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:01:04 -0400

Any Commerce kids who have SA positions this summer and can talk to me about ICE? I just went to an orientation and the students on the panel seemed very unimpressive and I don't think I can really trust the information they gave me. They certainly aren't McIntire's best and brightest... if they were they would have SA positions and wouldn't have the time to be talking to a group of transfer students. As it were, two girls had accounting internships and one kid had an Asset Management internship at someplace I've never heard of in fucking Arlington, VA.

Anyway, if anyone can, please PM me.

Contacting Alums

DiPietro — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:12:45 -0400

How can I locate alums at I-Banks to get in contact with? I'm not asking anyone to "go to bat for me" or any shit like that, but I'm trying to see if anyone will send me some equity research reports to look over and it wouldn't really be worth it for me to buy reports online...

Transferred

DiPietro — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:28:16 -0400

This is way out in the future for me, but I just transferred schools (UGrad). When I apply to b-school and send transcripts will they also require a transcript from my previous school, or will they be satisfied with my grades from my new school and a number of courses with "credit" and no numerical or letter grades. How will transferring look to b-schools, and will they even be able to see the college I previously attended?

Also, this is semi-related. On my resume should I just put my new GPA, or should I also list my GPA from my old school. I feel like it is a bit deceptive leaving it off, but on the otherhand, my new school doesn't honor those grades as they stand and count them toward my GPA so technically they no longer have any meaning.

Thanks

Online Options trading

Are any of the online brokerage firms more lax about options trading? And if I have to lie about income etc, do you think I would be approved if the money invested in my account was about 10% of annual income and 7% of total assets?

SATs on Resume

DiPietro — Wed, 07 May 2008 17:23:05 -0400

I know this question has come up before. But I was wondering people's opinion on this specific circumstance.

I had a 1450 (it looks more impressive when I say its 2240), so should I be listing this on a resume? I know its a good score, but for target schools and specifically banking it seems fairly average.

Recruiting Advice for Next Year

DiPietro — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:34:01 -0400

Basically I'm going into recruiting next year at a target with what I expect to be a reasonably high GPA, the only thing is I don't have any finance experience (besides courses at school, messing around with my own account). In fact, I think I'd have a pretty difficult time filling out a resume.

So far this is what comes to mind:

Options Books

DiPietro — Thu, 01 May 2008 20:55:42 -0400

From what I've heard Hull seems to be definitive, although on some energy forums a lot of guys are suggesting a book by Natenburg. I most likely would need something that really held my hand through the various pricing models.
