Man, I’m going into my 7th semester of school and i’m lost. I want to be in IB. I play College Football and can technically do 2 more years of school. Can you give me any tips?
Man just keep your comments to yourself if you have nothing positive to contribute. As someone from Toronto who never had the financial knowledge and fortitude to succeed in school with this type of education, i learn a ton from this guy all the time. Mad grateful. Just go away and watch something else.
wouldn't we expect higher future ebitda since we borrowed money. We borrowed more money so that it could be invested into something so wouldn't we want/expect more revenue?
Hey great video, very informative and helpful! I am an incoming freshman into SDSU (San Diego state) for an undergrad major in finance. Given that SDSU isn’t a target school, would it be better for me to try to transfer to an investment banking target school going into my junior year or just stay at SDSU and try to stand out among my other peers as much as possible? Why or why not?
I love finance but after graduating with a bachelor in the finance, I switching to data analytics going forward. Finance has many issues regarding credibility, secrecy, fraud, and a lack of understanding of strategy. I wish anyone luck trying to make a living in finance but be aware its more sales, marketing, or accounting than finance.
amazing video, straight to the point, no ads in between, no switching back and forth not to mention no great/distracting hand gestures. Very nice video thank you
Im starting a position in power, utilities and infra but want to recruit for generalist roles for PE. Do you think I will have more of an issue given the group is specialized?
I beg to differ NVDA added hundreds of billions of dollars to its MC after the split announcement. Theoretical knowledge is great but does not hold up in the market.
@@fearlesswarrior4651 Its psychology, stocks that goes up split and people think that it will go up much more after split. This chase causes the stock price to rise adding market cap. Fundamentals dont change but people chase the price higher. Happens always.
Awesome stuff, it is really a good idea to put up things in place while one still has the time and opportunity to, as a person seeking financial breakthrough or being mindful of the reality of the world and its challenges while still in service or as a retiry one should consider the basics that can make a meaningful living tomorrow. As the case maybe things and ideas like these may not come up often that's why it is very much benefiting one consider it very important and grab it without hesitation, many senior citizens have made mistakes regarding this and at some point did not really take the steps to invest appropriately and today they are paying bitterly for it, the little one can actually invest today will definitely speak volumes when the time comes because it will never be lost.
Absolutely a great deal ,I know sometimes one can feel that there will always be time and turn to forget about a proper investment plan(s) while still in service or nearing retirement, as a matter of fact the actual benefits of living and securing a better living start with a good planning today, I was so impressed when I saw this comment and wish one can grab opportunities like this and think of a good direction or ways to safe land tomorrow instead of waiting till the time is equally too slim
This is in fact a top hit, I actually was very slow on investments because I was doing good and getting a good pay but after many thoughts I sluggishly had to take another journey by investing. Sincerely speaking what you are saying is absolutely true. I have made good fortune out of this plan and I have added so much to my life by making it a bit meaningful. So far my achievements are really loud and appreciating I am even taking more plans to concrete my financial state ahead of uncertainty. Really lovely stuff
One thing is also good for sure and very important to take note of while taking the steps,a good broker who can guide one through the process with ease.
Absolutely amazing because the whole thing still relates in a way and has a lot to do with a professional who is well established in the field, a proper investment planning will definitely save a lot of financial stress tomorrow you know human want and need cannot be met that's why it is important one take things like this very important. My greatest gains came when I realized I have really made a huge gain within a quarter, gains that gave me the chance to secure other businesses, good house for me and my family and a comfortable living. No idea or opportunity should be considered waste.
Lenders scrutinise cash flow more so than they do EBITDA. They'll decide leverage limits post assessing changes in EBITDA, working capital, CAPEX and current debt + debt repayments
As someone who didn’t step foot into university knowing about IB, they made the timeline very unfriendly since you basically need to commit at least from freshman year to have a decent chance… coming from a target school
A headhuhter from that list reached out to me. Ill be starting my summer analyst role in a few weeks an IB but isnt this just too early like I dont know which firm to work for in the future.
Informative content! Just wanted to share that Mystrika takes cold emailing to another level. Their Unibox feature and programmable emails have made my life so much easier. Definitely worth a try!
Nice tips on cold emailing! I cannot recommend Mystrika enough. It is got the best warmup pool, detailed analytics, and inbox rotation. Perfect for scaling your outreach!
Great video! Have you tried Mystrika for cold emailing? It is superior to anything else out there. Their new interface is rock solid, and the email warmup feature is killer.
Love this channel! When it comes to cold emailing, Mystrika is a beast. The warmup pool is top-notch, and their AI writing tool totally boosts your performance. More people should know about it.
This channel rocks! I have been using Mystrika and my sales have soared. Their A/B testing and automatic bounce detection are unparalleled. You guys should totally make a video on it.
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
A robust strategy is crucial for any investor's portfolio. When it comes to making high-stakes decisions, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward, and it's wise to seek guidance from seasoned professionals.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024..
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
Angela Lynn Shilling is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Private equity sounds like a mechanism that extracts the most amount of value from a business, and transfers that wealth to the few general partners. Everyone loses - the business, the employees, the local consumers, the tax payers.... except for the general partners
The people you’re claiming don’t benefit wouldn’t have benefited with or without the private equity buyout. The business was failing before private equity came in, they just more efficiently manage the end of the companies life. Most likely allowing most companies to work there longer than they would have been able to do before.
You talk quite a bit about the valuation and the process of buying a company, but what about the portfolio managment aspect? Are there no questions or experiences about how to increase the value of a company?
Very well presented. My grandson is finishing his first year in college Finance…I hope he has a full and happy life. I don’t value a one-dimensional life. A good job is for all the higher values…no time for living is empty.
To put it simply: If I was a Founder/CEO of the $1B company, I would be fine with the 10%. As a PE fund manager, I would choose the 50% control at the $200m.
How can the pro forma EBITDA be unaffected ? Revenue is expected to grow every year, and considering EBITDA a % of the revenue, the EBITDA would increase every year.
This was kind of confusing. On a theory level, I understand the EBITDA does not change. But, it seemed like you were looking for EBITDA in absolute numbers. Sometimes, it is hard to discern the intention behind the question.
Future forecast. What you would be forecasting for the next 5 -10 years or forever whatever time the private equity firm intends to hold the company before selling it off for a profit.
