she has the kind of beauty that makes you genuinely want to be a better person. some voodoo witchcraft goin' on the second i look into her televised eyes

 

Question - do you guys prefer Principles of Corporate Finance (Brealey, Myers, Allen) or Rosenbaum IB / BIWS / other IBD training courses?

The latter give more direct and practical training for IBD but I feel like reading the former lends to better overall grasp of finance for long term.

Thoughts?
