I've actually found chart patterns to be more and more useless based on my experience. But with that being said, I am going to keep an eye on MGM.

Looks like a bunch of stocks topping out to me. If the dow didnt look like a vertical line I'd say those were some pretty nice plays

Great experience with that. M&A is going to be HUGE this year going forward. Great market for it.
What do you want to do down the line? PE seems to be where everyone wants to go, especially after IB M&A.
A buddy of mine is currently in PE right out of undergrad (Based in NYC with me), and he's telling me that the real money is going to be in Asset management in the next couple of years. A lot of my friends are looking for exit opportunities into that sector actually.
Good for you though
Can someone please explain to me why people have a problem with apple having all that money in cash? I think it's something like 130 billion.
Yeah, most people do make the move from IB... but I'm hoping that my business experience would serve valuable because we're going to have build financial models left and right.PE out of undergrad? That's pretty rare, do you mind me asking which firm? I know CCMP is a firm known for that, among a select few others. I think PE will always pay by the boatloads, and I think your average PE associate will still consistently make more than the asset management professional with the same amount of work experience (in years).
@Ricky, I don't think the move from consulting to PE/HF is as common as it is from IB, but there are definitely some firms that look for that move. Start building your network and who knows what opportunities may come your way man.
thanks brah. I've taken from what I've read that M&A is less stress and volatility because you're dealing less with people and more with businesses. Of course the hours are crazy... but not like IB...Great experience with that. M&A is going to be HUGE this year going forward. Great market for it.

if you have a talent or knowledge, and a company doesn't have the resources to hire someone full time to do the job, they bring in consultants.School me on what consultants do...because I've heard a lot about it but still have absolutely no idea what people in the field actually do.
you maybe right.. I have not needed to factor that into my trading yet (long bull market). Something I need to learn more about
You and I can draw whatever lines we want, reality is that the real breakout happened way before that.

The view by activist hedge funds and others is that Apple's money is also Apple's shareholders' money. To Apple the cash hoard is a ridiculously large "rainy day" fund, but to shareholders it's potential dividends that they aren't getting.
So do the shareholders feel that it's money that hasn't been paid out to them yet? Sort of like apple skimming a little off the top?

Gotcha. Thanks man.Well, Apple isn't required to pay a dividend at all. Most people believe that Apple is cautious about lessening their hoard because they ran into hard financial times about 20 years ago and almost went bankrupt. So they want the cash buffer so that that won't happen. However, that cash is just sitting there doing nothing, and shareholders believe it would be put to much better use via dividends or issuing preferred shares with a special dividend. There are various benefits in doing so, but it's just unclear whether Apple will seriously consider it. Activist hedge fund managers are making it their goal to push them into issuing dividends/preferred shares though, because they'll make a lot more money if Apple decides to do that.So do the shareholders feel that it's money that hasn't been paid out to them yet?

How exactly do you find the "real" breakout before it's too late?

interested in this as well.. could always use better entries
You don't unless you are a market maker. You just have to realize it and grab profit from the middle. Whoever says they can pick exact tops and bottoms is BSing.
