point leaders are under the ads on the right side of the page
There’s also a significant amount of “hacksaw” school people working as analysts and fund managers. While it’s easier to break in if you’ve gone to HBS etc. there are a significant amount of “hacksaw” school people who do make it. Look at any of the big companies in the industry and you’ll see some “hacksaw” folk in front-office positions.
If someone has potential, is intelligent, sociable (i.e. can network well) and successfully runs his/her portfolio with their own reseach reports that are of a good quality for someone looking to break-in, has some relevant experience that they can spin in an interview etc. then nobody here can tell them with certainty that they can’t make it if they try.
As for not being able to stand Itera - he’s alright I guess. He’s probably going the wrong way about giving people some realism but I don’t think he means any harm by it.
Congratulations!
does anyone else not have the points leaderboard showing up? on the right side of the screen all I can see is the upcoming events and some pictures of people who have liked AF on facebook.
The leaderboard should be just above the Facebook likes box.
Congratulations, S2000!
Same…
Change your “theme” in your profile settings.
Edit: I’m sure you guys probably get different people that “liked” AF on Facebook, but right now there’s a hot white chick on the bottom right. I’m highly skeptical…
^Yeah, it has to be the “dark” theme.
FTR - can’t see what is “dark” about it.
That’s because you don’t see race.
Excuse me?
Are we talking about the beach volleyball player? If so, I approve.
There’s also a nice Brazilian brunette.
If any of you posters are one of the two ladies above, feel free to message me. By the way, I’m only noticing you because you look like you have great stock-picking skills. 
Damn fb is blocked at work
Her picture doesn’t link for some reason though. Beatriz’s picture does and she’s pretty alright herself.
So go home and FB search [REDACTED]. Apparently a volleyball player in London.
Don’t recall any female volleyball players from England posting in the WC though. Darn.
If we’re nice, maybe she’ll even introduce us to her friends.
I wouldn’t imagine you’re the type that would “like” AF on Facebook. Besides, her picture is right-side up. I just figured all yours are of you hanging upside down.
I’m not on The Facebook. Hell, I’m not even on Linkedin - but I probably should fix that.
Numi - If you set up my Linkedin profile, I promise not to go long your next short and ruin it for you.
Thanks for the fix, can see leaderboard now.
You’re right, I wouldn’t. But I took it you are “highly suspicious” of a hot girl having anything to do with CFA… ?? Or did I take it the wrong way, again?
