Before my introduction to the world of finance, I had relatively little understanding of how the market works and how it affects the global economy. So for my financial algebra class, I had to complete a financial portfolio and follow a stock of my choice and report on it. I learned how to interpret stock tickers and 5 day SMA’s in order to aid in my reports and be able to provide a thorough analysis of what was going with the stock I was following, Samsung Electronics. From that point forth I could adequately predict how certain events could be favorable or detrimental to a stock and be able to communicate that analysis in a report. Furthermore, I then had to summarize what had happened during that week and give a type of forecast as for whether or not it would be best to sell or invest in the stock I was tracking. By the end of the project, I gained a more comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the world of finance and the role it plays worldwide. Thus making me a more versatile and globally prepared citizen, adequately prepared to tackle the world's problems from a new angle: the world of

I am hoping you can help me out. My hours have been low at work and there are some extra activities Calvin wants to participate in. We have started up Cub scouts again and wants to join an indoor soccer league for the winter. If you are able and willing could you help put with the cost of these. If not I understand and there will be no hard feelings. I know you already pay child support and that helps out with day today expenses. In all honesty we will most likely participate in them because this move has been hard on him and these activities boost his self confidence and is helping him make friends.

Welcome to UCSD Extension’s Financial Decision Making course. My basic approach to the subject matter is that theory which cannot be practiced is not good theory, BUT practice that is not based on theory [i.e., a logical, independently verifiable analytic framework] is not good practice. Thus we will strive for a balance of both theory and practice to provide a rigorous, comprehensive course. Please review the following syllabus and let me know if you have any questions or comments. I will do everything I can
I am interested in the practical results of research as much as its theoretical values. I am fascinated by the intersection of finance and foreign and public policy. Over the last three years, I had the chance to contribute to the policies made and implemented by the US government in the areas of economic sanctions and the fight against terrorism financing and international illicit finance. I also would like to be involved in the public policy discussions and decision makings related to the domestic finance topics. I am applying for this position because the research capacity of [NAME OF THE SCHOOL] in my fields of interest provides me the chance of collaborating with top researchers in these fields. I hope that while I benefit from the faculty members’ knowledge and experience, they will also benefit from my hard work and previous experience in transforming academic research to actionable policy ideas and recommendations and successfully communicating those recommendations to the media and policy makers. The [SCHOOL’S] proximity to the financial markets in New York and policy making centers in Washington DC make it an ideal place for the kind of research I am interested in.

I have no doubt that my enthusiasm, diligence, and cooperative spirit will make me an asset to MStat of the University of Hong Kong.
