Transcript

Today I interviewed at one of the top investment groups in the entire world. That is in a university. And these are some of the questions that they asked me and some of the things that I had to explain to them. Now first and foremost, they asked me about myself. They asked me about challenges I overcame. They asked me about my strengths, my weaknesses, basic stuff. They asked me about P/E ratios, markets, about commodities, about bonds, about interest rates, about the Fed. About what stocks they have about their portfolio, about what stocks that I like, that I think they should buy, and stocks that I think they should sell that I don't like in their portfolio. They also had me go over the portfolio's history. All in a span of 3, 20 minute interviews where I had to talk to half the group in a conference room, I was the only person at the table twice. And then in a professor's office with the two people, the two adults who lead the entire investment group. Pretty, uh, pretty intense setting, pretty, uh, pretty grueling, pretty hard, but it was a great experience and I'll see hopefully at the end of this week, if not next week, how that pans out.
