Beatup but Upbeat

Another Memorable Quote:
"If your professors knew how to make money from investments, they wouldn't be here" - EC3332 professor (paraphrased)


Still behind my planned schedule despite my (mostly) best efforts, but on the bright side didn't do too badly at all on the first A.I. quiz (exam). Down to a few hours to take care of my CS3212 midterm tomorrow, so I'll make this quick.

Used a couple of nights to create a research website for my EC3333 Portfolio Management project, but truth to tell the short one-month scope makes investment rather a shot in the dark. Hey, even with "expert expertise" about three-quarters of mutual funds underperform the market index (not helped by fat management fees), so what hope does the average shmuck have?

Well, I do have (arbitrarily) low transaction costs on my side for the purposes of the academic project, and a bunch of probably irrelevant stats to justify my success or failure. Being able to tell just how much the STI component stocks are correlated to each other counts for something, no? For the record, I'm banking on Hyflux, OCBC and SIA to begin with, mostly since they have been set rather higher target prices (i.e. value for money) by Credit Suisse.

Here's a video of a match my Footstar character was involved with. It entailed a bit of fussing over codecs and the like as I struggled to encode ten minutes of decent quality video into a file of less than 10MB, only to discover that Youtube's limit is 100MB. Duh. Good thing was I discovered the free Xvid codec, which should come in useful when I edit my MNO clip. For now, watch out for the player Lin bin Ali losing the ball below :) (No I didn't think that up, the character name was selected out of a pregenerated list)
