Goldman Sachs




Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) is advising clients to avoid delaying investment decisions for Russia until it becomes clear who will be the next president in elections in March.
“There’s not a lot of wisdom to wait,” said Christopher Barter, co-chief executive officer for Goldman’s Russia unit, at a conference in St. Petersburg today. “Our advice to clients who think there could be a dramatic change is not to wait. The opportunities are enormous and valuations are very attractive.”

I think this is a really good point by Goldman Sachs, don't ever let any opportunities slip due to delays.

While there is good reason to wait to see who is going to be elected as President (mainly because every Presidents have their own perspectives on where they think the economy is heading and which industry to invest in). Say for example, if the President is interested in oil, then the oil investors will definitely be investing massively into Russia and conversely, if the President is interested in banking, then of course, all the banks will head towards Russia.

However, Goldman's advice on how people should not delay their investments is an ideal solution. Particularly when the Russian market is so lucrative and attractive now, one should not wait because it might just turn around in a split second if you miss the opportunity. 
The market is so dynamic that it is almost impossible to follow closely to it and to be able to predict all the trends is even more of an arduous tasks.

Nevertheless, Goldman too recommend investors to not just look at Russia but also to look at the market of China because it is pretty stable now and it is going stronger since it is continuously storing up reserves and currencies of other countries.

Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are definitely 2 top employers in the field of investment banking and I'm definitely very interested to join them in the near future. Of course, the remunerations are extremely attractive but they will only take the best of the best so this definitely presents a massive challenge to me. Nonetheless, I will continue to work hard in my studies and hopefully one day, make a name for myself.

GSL Super Tournament Grand Finals

[image loading]


The time has finally come.


The one on the left is PoltPrime.WE


The one on the right is SlayersMMA


They both have come a long way from the round of 64


In the semi finals, SlayersMMA lost the first 2 matches but he persevered and made a comeback and won the next 3 matches.


As for PoltPrime.WE, he won the first match, lost the next 2, but again, made a comeback and won the last 2, winning 3-2, proceeding into the finals.


From their matches, I learnt that one should never ever give up no matter what.


No matter how far behind you are, there's always a possibility of a comeback.


As the commentators mentioned, when you think you are behind, try to play catchup and play to the best you can.


Never assume that just because you are behind now, you will be behind forever because that will only happen if you assume that your opponent will play perfectly and you will never catch up.


That is very much often not the case. Your opponent is bound to get complacent as they get ahead and this is your chance to fight back as hard as possible.


Hence, I learnt that we should never assume that it is impossible to fight back because nothing is impossible and starcraft II has shown me that  !


The GSL Finals will start at 2:10pm, may the best man wins !

Work At Mercer

Hi guys, sorry for not posting here for such a long time.


Just to update you guys, I'm currently working at Mercer, in the Health and Benefits Division.


I have just completed one week of the internship and throughout the entire week, we were just opening letters and filing documents in the respective files in the compacter room.


To be honest, we were damn saddened by what we have to do, I mean filing? You can get primary school students to do that and we are undergraduates and yet they ask us to do filing.


That is so degrading.


Some of my colleagues were even thinking of quitting.


But today, the team leader came over to tell us that it is actually learning bit by bit and its all about the attitude.


Even though we are now doing filing, we are actually learning about the process, what the department do and what the documents look like and how they are actually drafted.


So, it actually helps according to her but we though she was just talking rubbish because she's probably just smoking us.


How can filing be meaningful man? You go and tell that to the future employers and they will laugh until they die.


But she mentioned that she will put us into the FUN Committee to brainstorm for ideas that will help motivate the employees because it is a very stressful environment over there as everyone is busy and rushing over their work.


Hence, we have to start thinking of some things to help them release some of their stress.


I thought finally, we are doing something great for the company and this will definitely be helpful in our resume.


Also, the team leader mentioned that she will assign us more work in the future and involve us more in the task. She say that she want to maximise the interns here, to let them learn as much as possible, particularly because we are all undergraduates so we definitely possess the capabilities to do a good job.


I'm really glad that she has taken note of that because if we were to do filing for the rest of the internship, it will seriously be boring as hell.


Oh well, I am definitely looking forward to the next 7 weeks and I hope that there will be more jobs coming towards us :) :) :)

Broccoli - a weapon against cancer

Health experts are still focused on getting the cure for cancer, now evil attacks many human beings regardless of their age or condition.

On this occasion, a group of U.S. experts found that a compound in broccoli, not only contains anticancer properties, but at the same time, can selectively kill cancer cells without affecting healthy cells.

This compound is known as sulforaphane and found in other cruciferous plants.

The researchers belong to the Oregon State University and determined, for the first time that this compound is safe and could be used to develop a treatment against the disease, particularly prostate and breast cancer.
