Hey guys im considering opening up an account to trade options. any recommendations? which ones do you guys use? is the process as streamlined as trading shares? ie buy at certain price, then sell at certain price. how would you exercise the option? Commsec is out of the question as i...

http://www.efs.mq.edu.au/undergraduate/unit_outlines there you go. all the unit outlines for EFS 2008. have fun.

stat271 was pretty random. most questions r differnt from tutes. regression was really wtf . whats with the regression with 2 lines. hopefully its scaled up though. 255 was worse for me, test way too long.

just handed in my fee help form today. no biggie really its all deferred payments. and i dont think teaching is outsourced at all. last year i did micro and the lecturer was a member of econ department (rebecca reeve).

hi guys im currently in 2nd year of acst with econ double but im having doubts regarding the employability of my econ degree since its kinda of a wishy washy degree (ie essay writing). My goal is to work in more of a quant side of finance so just wondering how well does econometrics fit into...

whats the results website? is it www.results.mq.edu.au? it says 'forbidden' currently?

right now there isnt any share game going on. asx one i think just finished. if you want to experience trading then forex trading is not much different. You can register for a free account at FXCM with 50k virtual cash. The demo account is the same as the real thing but you dont use any real...

Saw similar things on both Usyd and UNSW threads. Thought we should start one of our own. So here it goes. Please refrain from requesting units or chit chat on this thread. ECON110- Macroeconomics Ease 9/10 : very very easy unit this year. Lecture attendance not needed and all they test...

yeah gonna stay up on the 15th. although i have a suspicion my GPA will commit seppuku on that day.

201 is an exemption subject for acst students. and i advise anyone whos not doing acst to stay away from acst exemption subjects. well i cant because im doing acst myself. but if you can avoid it do so.

finished all the exams!! yeah!! Paper 2 of 200 is totally good. not many tricks and straightforward. do make up sum lost ground for paper 1.

isnt there a better way to make money from currency such as derivative or sum other instruments? i mean if you were to simply buy a certain currency the gain is so minimal as currencies r generally not as responsive as stocks for example. even if you bought AUD 4 years ago and held your gain...

anyone whos done 200 and 272 exams how you guys found it? 200: paper 1 was fairly standard. most of my friends found it very easy. i stuffed up on a few questions, found out straight after exam, feel very bad. hope friday is alright. 272: medium difficulty in term of 272 paper. a few hard...

thanks for your reply. I heard the big 4 accounting firms and the banks use the method you speak of, at least thats what they say. I heard many firms sift out applicants through an automated process for first round interview. eg, GPA > 3 interview, otherwise reject. Think its because...

Can anyone tell me when applications are made for internships and grad position how does a firm differentiate students across universities? for example, macquarie has 4 gpa for both D and HD, Usyd has GPA 7 for Hd, 6 for D etc. UNSW uses WAM instead. Heard people telling me they convert GPA...

thanks for your reply. yeah i understand that to have any chance of getting into trading i need a D average at least. but how do those companies distinguish students with different major? for example i think actuarial studies is probably harder than straight finance so you'd expect students...

hi guys im a second year actuarial study/law student at macquarie. Facing internship applications in the near future im pretty worried. currently my gpa/WAM is around a Cr average because law has been dragging it down a lot. Im thinking whether to swtich from law to finance so that i can bump...

i agree with flying on the issue. There are many ACST students who are extremely smart but lack adequate communication skills and character. I think provided you get good grade (3.5 at least) and have some character, your chance of finding an actuarial job is not too slim. even if you dont...
