    Yet another attempt at MFE ranking

    Folks rankings do matter. Its just that who looks at it. Hiring managers- In India, hiring managers look at school rankings and also how hard are admissions to the school. I talked to a Wharton MBA few days back and she expressed opinion on similar lines about US. Novice students/ applicants...

    facing stiff competition

    'Indian IITs enjoy a good reputation, but the value of these is so subjective that managers vary a lot in how they weight them.' Thanks for your post... Need little elaboration on this. Not quite sure if I understand this

    Are stocks cheap ?

    Sir, I fully understand that fed has to cut rates for now. If you please pull up charts for what happened in 04-05? Fed increased rates 13 times. After rates bottom out - fed has to control inflation - else US will fall in stagflation for sure. And I am expecting such reversal in rates in...

    Are stocks cheap ?

    LEH is at 6 P/. Historically, in bad times good stocks have gone to 4 PEs as well. Though, selective buying can be done short term - yeasteday BSC closed at 8 PE and LEH at 4 - This much of gap can't be explained... Now...Therefore, I would long select stocks for very short time. Keep finding...

    Where would you rank Baruch MFE with top programs ?

    I assume Baruch is having 'no class-size' as such. I think they take in as many good guys they find.

    Citigroup Warns of 60% Earnings Drop

    Thats good. But over long term also these guys very intelligently will use sub prime to wipe off the blood. Lehman has not done it. So my prediction is some bleeding for Lehman in Q4 07 or Q1 08

    Why do you want to become a MFE?

    Thanks guys for some very valuable points. I am not too sure if my point is in sync with the Thread heading. But I will make it. I believe education is just a 'risk averse' way of money making. As some one down below told story of a millionaire w/o any education. Such cases exist in every...

    Citigroup Warns of 60% Earnings Drop

    Nice... But nothing to fear most managements take advantage of the external factors (sub prime) as a reason to clean their house. I believe after Q3 these shocks will not be there as managements will be liberal in showing off wounds in Q3 itself

    Why do you want to become a MFE?

    I agree 99 perc. But,if even after working for 2-3 years 'passion' remains evasive. What will you do? Jump into something which everyone is trying to take a bite of. So I believe many including myself try for an FE caz of being direction less. These are good people in search of what they...

    Where would you rank Baruch MFE with top programs ?

    Kool that is true; but 'me' just being curios - I know this from the forum - 1. The students who get into Baruch are having good profiles and GRE scores. 2. The fees is less. BUT I have never heard of the packages they come out with. And also the positions they launch themselves into! Help...

    Stock Analysis after FE

    Hi Is it a realistic goal to aim for Stock analysis after FE? Will it actually help in any ways, if yes. I am not sure about this. I am not too sure how stochastic helps stock analysis. Definitely stock prices being a part of uncertain world, stochastic should be applicable. But are financial...
