$60k is what I made long before I was qualified and I'm an accountant. (it's also not too far off grad salary in a lot of places)

Hence the importance of volume to enable you to trade where the transaction costs are close to nil relative to size of position or P&L. When I was doing physical, I got mine down to the 5-20 points range.

I agree and disagree at the same time. If it were me, I would try to can get into Commerce and major in Finance/Eco and I'd do that over doing B Eco majoring in Finance. But for the top tier finance jobs, academic performance (i.e. high WAM) is a key criteria and if you're doing the exact same...

Then say this in your application/interview. If you're serious about it then it shouldn't be an issue but I wouldn't recommend saying one thing but not really intending to follow through with it.

I see. I still have some shares from when I first started trading in small parcels (<$10k trades) and damn it's annoying now having to do tax returns and account for changes in cost base relating to share splits, buybacks, demergers, and then when I thought I could ignore it all, there was a...

Is this your first share purchase?

Based on what you PM'd me, with the volume you're buying, you're gonna need to sit on it a bit longer just to offset your brokerage costs both ways.

TBH I always thought Commerce was a good deal higher than Economics but it's been so long since I last looked at it or cared. The reality is there is a bit of a stigma associated with it ie. "he only did B Eco because he couldn't get into Comm". Maybe that's changed a bit now since when I did...

There's a few around here but they don't all choose to actively post. If there is a difference in ATAR, then there'll be a difference in perception.

If you're at UNSW, you can join UNIT. I used to be a member of that society and wrote an article back in the day. I never ended up pursuing trading as a career but a couple of my mates ended up going down that route. My tip based on the friends who got in: 1) be smart (i.e. good marks); 2) be...

Because it's the accounting firms offering the cadetships and they are trying to find people to work for them? In the past, some of the banks offered various cadetships (under the name 'business cadetships') but these were in various finance roles (read: not all were in front office).

Unless it's a volunteer job or an unpaid job. Then it doesn't help so much in the short term.

Yes it does make a difference. Hard to say whether it'll put you at a disadvantage especially given you have a few years ahead of you, but at least from what I've seen, Commerce > Economics. What's the difference in ATAR cut off?

it's open to both year 12 and 1st year uni students but historically there have been people from outside of this anyway who come along (even though the programs on offer aren't necessarily aimed at them).

me too thanks to ozbargain. can't believe TTT2 is only $9.95! i bought the ANZ edition from EB last last weekend for $35 :(

Interesting article in the news nowadays since Beats/Monster split: http://gizmodo.com/5981823/beat-by-dre-the-inside-story-of-how-monster-lost-the-world I wonder if the new Monster headphones will a) sound as good; and b) cost half the price of the Dre branded headphones. My Mum is a huge fan...

It doesn't intrigue me at all. Yes I like a bit of social gaming but it sounds like a dedicated gaming PC with homogeneous specifications and TV output. Sony seems to have lost 99% of the exclusives which I care about as they've all gone cross platform (e.g. Tekken, FF, etc) and the only one...
