Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 11.25.16

I last reported that I had been invited by an Ann Arbor financial services firm to apply for an open internship position there but they required a link to my LinkedIn account (which did not exist at the time) so I spent last weekend creating a fresh new LinkedIn profile.  I was finally able to submit my application on Tuesday and, no sooner did I click the "Submit" button, then I received an Auto-Response with further instructions on how to proceed.  Yes indeed it is a brave new world out there.

Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 11.18.16

Transferring the hundreds of video editing files that I have amassed over the years to the new pc has proven problematic so I continue to operate from the laptop this weekend.  But the week's succinct summary is again presented below for your review.  I have close to 500 GB of video files to transfer and then there is also the challenge of how to back them up as they are completely irreplaceable.  These are the tasks that occupy me as I continue my journey through the CFP.

Huge rally after Trump election

I am still awaiting word of my internship but, as of today, I have been officially approved for enrollment in the formal 12-month academic cohort program for the CFP that begins in February.  Meanwhile, I'm have difficulty transferring image files for my video editing program and now I can only archive them and hope they can be recovered later.  When I have solved this problem I can at long last set up my new pc and start working on videos again, something that has taken on a new meaning with the CFP as I am being considered for a financial firm that produces investment training videos, something that is very much up my alley.  I'm very excited about it.

Michigan: Home Sweet Home!

After two weeks in New York City and Philadelphia, I have returned to my sweet home state, so glad to learn that my sweet Michigan may end up playing a decisive role in tomorrow's election.  It is very clear that Wall Street wants a Hillary victory, not so much because they love her so much; they don't.  In fact, they expect that she'll probably be a thorn in their side for the next four years.  On the other hand, she does represent stability and predictability, two things the market desperately craves and that investors are quite certain they will not get from Trump.
