* Closed. Got my answer.

Loving her without a reason...

DarXnight — Tue, 27 May 2008 23:37:47 +0800

May/June 06 - I decided to work for a few months until September before I continue with my studies in the UK. I saw this girl (A), and I fell in love with her without her knowing it.

September 06 - I left the company for my studies; girl A still didn't know that I have feelings about her.

September 06 - May 07 - Through out the year in UK, I can't stop thinking about her. So, I went back to M'sia in the summer just to work again in the same company.

This time round, I confessed to her, but she just laughed it away. I was damn embarrassed because I confessed to her in front of a few colleagues.

September 07 - I returned to UK for my studies. Still having her (A) in mind. I worked with a group of friends during the orientation week as a student ambassador. I got to know this girl (B), thanks to my friends? And for no reason, one of my friends kept on pushing me about her.

January/February 08 - I bought a gift while travelling during the Christmas break last year (2007) and wanted to send it back to M'sia for A but I didn't because I don't have the courage. Until one fine day, I decided to send the gift to A using courier service. I wanted to send it to her just as a friend but I didn't know that she will be able to get it on Valentine's Day.

Since the orientation, I knew that B, has feelings about me. One day, I approached her and told her that I don't want to hurt her because I have A in my mind. B felt depressed and cried for a few days. I went and look for her and I told her that I am sorry.

I realized that I have growing intentions about B, but I seriously don't know when it started.

March 08 - I started my relationship with B because I felt that my feelings towards B is stronger than A. Anyway, I just found out that A is already attached with another guy but I don't know when they started. And I swear that I started with B not because A is no longer single.

Now - B is upset because she said friends around her can't see me as her boyfriend.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am seriously in dilemma not because she said so, because I admit that as B's boyfriend, I am not doing enough for her.

Why I am in dilemma? Because I am loving her (B) without any reason.

Previously if you ask me the same question but on girl A, my answer will be:
A is
- caring
- understanding
- polite
even as a friend

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main characteristics for A and B (not to compare):
Girl A
- beautiful looking girl
- polite
- understanding/considerate
- caring

Girl B
- average looking girl
- open minded
- strong on the outside, weak on the inside
- sassy (more or less like the Korean Movie?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please kindly advice me. Feel free to ask any question if my story is confusing.

Investment management questions

DarXnight — Tue, 13 May 2008 01:14:42 +0800

I have 2 questions here

1) In what ways can the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) be useful to investment managers?
Answer:
- CAPM uses the same information to generate an efficient frontier, ie: homogeneous expectations regarding expected returns and risk
- have the same one period time horizon
- can borrow or lend money at the risk free rate of return
- no transaction costs, no personal income taxes, no inflation
- there are many investors and no single investors can affect the price of a stock by buying and selling activities
- capital markets are in equilibrium

2)How does the investment banking sector support the functioning of the economy?
Answer:
- help firms and governments raise (long term capital) cash by selling claims against themselves
- Provide a place where investors can act on their beliefs � buying and selling financial assets (transferability of financial assets)‏
- Help allocate cash to where it is most productive
- Help lower the cost of exchange

Are my answers for the 2 questions above correct?

Thank You.

Certificate in Financial Planning

DarXnight — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 00:35:38 +0800

I am currently studying for my degree in Financial Services.
And my University is offering Certificate in Financial Planning (5 stages) too.

So, I am wondering whether I should take this course too.

It is compulsory for Financial Advisers in the UK to have this qualification.
Is it the same in Malaysia?

With this qualification, can I get a job easier (overseas and Malaysia) compared to other graduates with only a degree?

Please comment.
