No banging background music, no distracting short visuals. Straight to the point and informative. Great stuff.
Thanks!
@@AfzalHusseinYeah probably doesn’t get said enough, but the absence of background music is such a huge positive. Keep up the good stuff, really enjoy listening to your thoughts.
A true wizard of finance , what a guy 🏌🏼
🙌🏽
Very valid point about the state vs private school divide.
The impact of inflation on people's cost of living is more significant than a crashing stock or housing market, as it directly affects them immediately. It's no surprise that negative market sentiment is widespread at present. In this economy, we genuinely need assistance to navigate and survive these challenging circumstances.
Navigating the market can be incredibly overwhelming, and I believe I would greatly benefit from more guidance. Currently, I've liquidated most of my assets and need advice on the best investment options to consider.
@@lutzjennifer For newcomers, seeking guidance from a consultant or investing coach might sound basic, but it's what helped me achieve a 65% increase in my portfolio since January. It's been the most effective entry method for me. 📈👍
@@ragabkamel_ Could you kindly share the name of your investment consultant? If it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate knowing how I can reach out to them.
@@lutzjennifer I have the privilege of working with Eric Thomas Witt as my consultant. I came across him in a CNBC interview. He provides valuable guidance on entry and exit points for the securities I focus on. You can find more information about him on Google. Following his trade pattern, and it has been a rewarding experience! 📊💼
@@ragabkamel_ Thank you for sharing. I recently invested in the stock market by liquidating some of my funds, and any guidance during this investment journey is highly appreciated.
Complements to the chef, you cook up great content big dawg. I love how you break it down for us on the outside looking in. I’m an engineer thinking about getting my MBA to get in Investment bank. Can you break down the roles of an associate for someone like me with no prior knowledge of finance
Agreed. It’s hard work. People think because we sit at desks and then stay at nice hotels when traveling, that we don’t work that hard. There are perks, sure. I wouldn’t trade it. But it’s just as complex and difficult as any other work (speaking as an electrician in the Air Force in construction, to now in strategy doing analytics side by side scientists at a F100)
Really nice video. Can you make a video about finance job opportunities in Canada in comparison to the UK and USA?
Very nice information
Appreciate the video contents at the start, a nice editing touch and looks clean too
Thanks!
bro i just saw your cameo on industry, that's nuts!!
😄👊🏽
Great video
Thanks!
Excellent.
Thanks!
Salam Afzal, could you please do a video on the potential impacts on AI, for example I imagine roles with a focus on financial modelling will change significantly over the next half decade.
W Salam. Added to the list 👊🏽
How many Managing Directors, CEOs, or Directors do you know that went to a state school? If there was a study, they might find an interesting figure.
Hi @Afzal did you coach?
Hey afzal! If u can take a couple of minutes to answer my question it would really help me a lot. So plz do reply.
I was thinking of doing the masters in finance from ESCP business school for the September 2024 intake. I am interested in getting into investment banking. I will give my cfa level 1 exam next month. So i also hope to complete the CFA alongside my masters.
Is it a good plan to get into investment banking in the UK and work in london?
Thanks
Really nice video :p
I prefered to try consulting but i still do consulting for banks so xD
Thanks!
your new newsletter keeps on getting sent to my junk in outlook maybe u should sort that
What does these guys mean? Do they want one to pay every year once he/she is done with the Investment Banking Course ?? That sounds nuts ...............The term subscription is uncalled for and it should be a one time payment !!
Please make a target universities for undergraduate degree and which degree to pursue for going in high finance 😀😀😀😀
Hi Afzal. I am From India I have recently graduated with a Computer Science and Engineering Background and am Presently going through an Investment Banking Operations course from a private specialized Institute that is offering placements into the big Investment Banking Firms.
I want your advice on does I am going through a right path or not.
Hey Afzal! I recently got my IQ score which was in 55th percentile. It was Mensa's IQ test. Can you tell me even if I did my CFA after multiple attempts is it wise to pursue a career in high finance as application is very different.
don’t bother
Hmm
About 5% of my portfolio is in uranium stocks, any suggestions for any other stocks that would allow me to increase my $200,000 capitalization to $1,000,000?
You should buy and hold technology stocks
You should know that it is both easy and difficult to make this much profit. I say "easy" because it's very possible to make that much, and "difficult" because you need professional help to do it, and I recommend that you get help from a market advisor.
@@AgnysCharlotte I don't want to reveal too much but yes, I have been consulting with an advisor and through his guidance I have been able to make a dividend of about $24,000 per month, it's simple and not as complicated as it used to be!
@@Robert_Wilson584 I would really like to learn more about his expertise as my portfolio has barely progressed. Can you tell me how I can get in touch with him?
@@AgnysCharlotte Wait, I will put his info below this comment. You can look up his name and you will see all you need to know about him
