Hi, I got accepted to a graduate program in Japan and they're apparently shortlisting me for the MEXT scholarship (特別枠). I checked and confirmed that this program is still listed as a PGP program (国費外国人留学生の優先配置を行う特別プログラム) so they still have some active quotas still.

They added a disclaimer that I'd need to pay the tuition if my scholarship application falls through, so I was just wondering do PGP programs tend to shortlist more than their allotted quota, or is the application process more or less a formality?

Would greatly appreciate any insights in advance, thanks!

So I just bought Nitro+ RX580 8G for around $270 two weeks ago, and I found out the prices for Vega 56 in my area fell to around $390 already, roughly at MSRP.

I haven't got the RX580 out of the box and already thinking if I should sell it and get the 56. Mainly going to be gaming, but prefer to not upgrade for some time.

Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback guys, I definitely regret not snagging the Vega 56 but I can't return it since I bought it overseas (nor do I have warranty which makes secondhand trades harder). Will stick with RX580 for a few years reluctantly, haha. Thank you again for the help!

Hi all,

Decided to take a shot at trying to build my own PC after discovering SFF, and picked it over a new gaming laptop, so have been slowly researching over the past 3 weeks. Looking to use this build in an NCase M1.

Finally replacing my 5 year old Ivy Bridge/GTX660m laptop, so would really appreciate your help and opinions, thanks!

Just found out about this sub so hi. How about IDX these days, fucking sucks huh?

Bluechip turun semua gara2 Trump & Fed... Saham pertama gw (BBRI@3700) masih nyangkut ga bisa keluar... saham kedua (TLKM@3800) almost going back to black thankfully. Tp thanks to my long-term investment target (yg kebetulan hoki2an jg dapet info), that one ticker basically gave me all the alpha to not go red for these 3 months, otherwise gw uda loss 1 juta. Fuck BBRI & AKRA btw. Though pas gw awal2 masi maen gorengan, gw specifically want to give a shoutout "fuck you" to TAXI, IKAI dan RBMS.

Baru mulai 3 bulan, so far masukin 58 juta, depending on market value of stocks my portfolio can go up to at m

Having trouble understanding the Merimar Derivs from '16 CFAI.

Specifically:

RRCA entered into a one-year equity swap 30 days ago. Under the terms of the swap, the fund will receive the return on the S&P/ASX 300 Metals & Mining Index and pay a fixed annual interest rate of 4.8% on notional principal of $75,000,000. The swap calls for quarterly payments. At the time the swap was initiated, 30 days ago, the value of the S&P/ASX 300 was 3,250. The value of the S&P/ASX 300 today is 3,738. Merinar wants to determine the market value of the equity swap today using the current term structure of interest rates presented in Exhibit 1.

Hi guys, I've been doing some digging and can't really find anything that fit my situation so here goes.

I'm from Southeast Asia (non-Singapore) currently working in East Asia (not a huge financial hub e.g. HK/Shanghai).

After I graduated I took up a job in a domestic securities firm, since they set up shop in my home country and needed a local. I mainly did irrelevant admin stuff and some simple reports for subsidiary performance. Though I did learn the whole back office operations since I practically had to know all aspects to translate competently. Dead-end back office role, 2.5 yrs. Did my CFA lv 1 though.

I just jumped ship to a small regional bank this week, working as assistant rel
