[@ACEyoutubeCHANNEL]

Learned a lot from this! Could you do a video like this on asset management soon?

[@AfzalHussein]

Will do. Judging by the 'likes' on your comment it seems like it's in demand :)

0:22 what does S&T entail? sales is with calls the clients. 2:15 can be split to clients, regions, and products/ asset classes.

The collapse of Margin debt leads to a decrease in stock prices and trigger a wave of selling as investors try to cover their losses, Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $145K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

[@MarcelPhilips]

I'll suggest you find a mentor or someone with experience guide you especially in this recession. especially for your 401K, IRA and portfolio diversification.

[@BrunoLuke]

@@MarcelPhilips I agree, I thought I was doing alright profit wise, until I needed assistance with diversification, I reached out to a financial advisor and in less than a year I was just $51,000 shy away from $640k which is like 7x more than I make on my own..

[@MarcelPhilips]

@@BrunoLuke I've been thinking of going that route been holding on to a bunch of stocks that keeps tanking and I don't know if to keep holding or just dump them, think your Inv-coach could guide me with portfolio-restructuring..

[@BrunoLuke]

@@MarcelPhilips I've shuffled through a few advisors in the past, and KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM remains the most resourceful thus far. Her strategy proves profitable, and sustainable both in a bull & bear market. Most likely, her deets can be found on the net, so you can confirm yourself.

[@MarcelPhilips]

@@BrunoLuke I just looked her up on the internet and looked into her credentials. I wrote her a letter outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her

Thanks for the valueable video As a fx trader it helps me a lot. Wish i could sit on trading floor as an asset manager on those big institution 😊

This is a great video, I learn alot watching your videos and it has been helpful to me. Trading crypto is quite difficult for newbies. Thanks to Mr Larry Kent Nick for improving my portfolio.keep up with the good videos.

[@fosterwhales1027]

I invest with Mr. Larry kent nick too, he charges a 20% commission on profit made after every trading session which is fair compared to the effort he put in to make huge profits

[@martinsriggs2441]

This is not the first time I am hearing of Mr Larry kent and his exploits in the trading world but I have no idea how to reach him

Hi Afzal, you are doing a great job by giving all of us these practical insights of financial services industry. I have recently cleared my CFA LEVEL 1 exams. I am currently preparing for my CFA LEVEL 2 exams in June 2019. Would like to know about the role of Research Department in an Investment Bank and how it is integrated with sales and Trading department? I would really appreciate if you can throw some colour on the Investment Management industry in your forthcoming videos. As I am doing CFA [US], practical insights on the Global Investment Management industry would be really valuable for me. Thanks, Keep up the good work.

[@lsmith3942]

Great video I subbed Could you do a more in depth into trading and structuring as guessing it’s more technical than sales to understand without exposure Keep it up !

[@user-elias123]

Great video Afzal. It would be great if you could make a video on breaking into sales&trading from other indistrues with several years of experience (what steps should be taken and what skills are required). Is it even possible? I see that most financial careers (IB, trading, even consulting) hire fresh graduates and it is harder to get in if you are, let's say, 3-4 years out of school and working in a different industry (although you have a degree in Finance).

[@nabilyousif4509]

Hey, what is the best way to get into sales and trading. What job role do you have to apply for and what qualifications/previous experience do you need

[@enteetne6704]

If you're a sales person, you sell derivates, stocks and bonds to clients. In the case of a derivate, against who are your clients betting ? Against the investment bank ? Against other clients ? In trading, you try to create value for the investment bank by buying derivates, stocks and bonds for the bank and not for a client, is that right ?

[@elonmuskrat9244]

I don't understand the big picture. Most investing and trading nowadays is done online, electronically. Why would institutional investors call up a brokerage firm's sales and trading department to verbally discuss some trades(and pay higher fees I'm sure) then just logging on and making the trade themselves? Honestly I'm confused about how a "trading floor" exists in 2024. I understand clients seeking out a financial advisor, or a hedge fund, to manage some of their money but I don't understand the idea of a client calling up a "trading floor" instead of just entering some trades online, or opening an account with an advisor or fund manager.

[@Curbstompextraordinaire]

Do you think traders will be 100% taken over by computers for clients to get the securities they want?

[@kayshiva6616]

VisiualProwess Jamie dimon announces this quite a while ago as a near future plan which will be soon executed for jpmorgan

[@jonathanlloyd8090]

Do these roles all have the same level of prestige? or would there be higher requirements for the traders? I assume that they would because they take more risk. The second question, is my current university choices are Southampton/Bristol for my firm (still can't decide) and my insurance is reading. If I somehow mess up my exams, would Reading still be a good enough university or would I have to retake my A-levels?

[@morganhunt4964]

Jonathan Lloyd a number of investment banks only accept first attempts when screening CVs so if you mess up that much it may not be worth resitting. Bristol would be better than Southampton. At the end of the day university prestige is only one part of the puzzle. If you take the right opportunities and network correctly you’re in with a shot.

[@punjab9100]

Hi Mr Hussein what I'm trying to get my head around is why do banks need more traders. At the end of the day is it not just a person on a desk looking at data and making guesses. If so why would a bank choose me over anyone else. Do they teach you how to analyse data and make predictions? Many thanks in advance for answering my queries

[@morganhunt4964]

It’s not really a guess it’s a highly educated guess and yes you will go through training of some description
