What's your choice? v.Financial Hypothetical

[JayS]

@newman

eh, i see that the underlying question is to see that you’d be “getting your foot in the door”… but fuck that. The money market is NOT an industry that i ever want to work in.

My job pays well, is low stress and is consistent. Fuck that heavy pressure trading shit.

Exactly why I said, “unless I worked on wall street”. Sureshits! retarded, “well if you were walking on wall street you probably work there” reads garbage into the question that simply isn’t there.

While walking down Wall Street in NYC, you happen to see an…

I am a software engineer. Why I’m on wall street that day doesn’t matter any more than what kind of Porsche it is because it’s a hypothetical situation. Maybe I’m there sight seeing, doing some amateur photography or looking for high class hookers. Regardless, my reason for being there does not change the fact that I don’t work on wall street and have zero desire to.

I should’ve took the car and thrown everyone off. Use the rationale that I’d sell it and make a daytrading account. 6% a month = 2.7 mil in 5 years :tspry:

Don’t throw that compounding bullshit around like you invented it, sucker :spank:

Take the job

Porsche, would most likely sell knowing full well that the maintenance costs would quickly outweigh any advantages of keeping it. Then at that point seeing as I lack the proper knowledge to invest it wisely, knowing full well I would most likely end up losing it if I were. I would place it in a savings account, as well as depositing what money I have available into the account. The interest might not add to much but over time it would be worth over that $100k in a few years guaranteed. (Granted there are probably much better ways do this)

The potential for future investment could be good with the other option. And if I had the drive, determination to work in that sector, as well as the ability to interact with that group it could prove to be quite profitable beyond that initial investment and an excellent foot in the door. But it is too volatile, nor would I have the ability to keep up with it beyond that initial period.

Also what happens beyond that 10% chance? Is there a chance to get part back, or more back? Or is it just a fixed this is it or nothing deal, still a lot of unknown variables to that one.

That said the Porsche would be my final choice without knowing more.

That’s not what I said.

Jay, if you are walking down Wall Street, who says you don’t work there? (not a street meat vendor ).

Take it easy man, no need to get offended or offensive.

Your grading system and acting like your answer is the only right one is what was offensive.

:bigclap:
Finally!

Thank you Fuzzy.

There is a 10% chance you make $100,000. Maybe there is a 100% chance you’ll make 30k. Who knows. But Fuzzy would ask :tup:

so much pee in cheerios this a.m.

You are right, the point of this wasn’t to display grades. I’ll remove them. Simply it was a thought provoking exercise. Frankly, I may have alluded to what I chose myself when I was presented with this question, but infact my answer might have been the opposite to what you’d assume.

You get that answer from Bill Clinton while he was in town last night?

I’m guessing based on your responses you didn’t get asked this question in a harvard lecture hall.

that being said frys first response was the best one, E(X) is greater with the car, especially since you only get one trial.

who says this guy doesn’t get tired of you in a week and kick you out the door with no money??

i’ll take the sure thing

This is New York right? I would sue the cab company for mental anguish because the driver obviously was not at a prudent speed. I figure at least $5,000,000. j/k

Porsche.

6% cd. :lol:

Wharton, Harvard, it’s always been an argument between alumni which is better.

Best answer so far. Just add in that your hurt your back/neck saving the child. The city will settle outside of court almost guaranteed.

I like fast cars. Fuck wall street. NYC is overrated.

I don’t think you should remove your grading system.

You posted the question, you can post a grade on which you (in your opinion) think is a good answer.

If someone gets offended that they didn’t meet your completely open ended question requirements that were not fully or even partially explained in a completely fictional hypothetical situation and realize this is a ridiculous run on sentence then they can shove their offendedness right up their brown hole, and for good measure if past referred to person can not acquire said location I can provide a detailed schematic.

Take the girl
Jump in Porsche
Burn through gears
Escape to remote location, preferably an abandoned high rise building
Put her in a cage
Call father, demand ransom
Negotiate
Profit 1 million + dollars, plus stock in said company

hypothetically speaking…that is.

Take the Porsche. Drive back to Buffalo. Get rear-ended on some shitty S. Buffalo street, by some shitty dude in a shitty Ford Pickup truck, and have my insurance company give me more than the Porsche was worth.
