EconomicsWithAneesh

  Its always great to be presented with opportunities such as meeting actual economists, especially at private banks where their role is more to provide understanding to clients about the economic climate which is different to the public world.  BoE,  Treasury, and graduate programmes are a great way to get into the economics world. Liz's job specifically is to make forecasts and reports and tell their clients (hedge funds, small businesses etc). The sandwich programme includes students teaching students, making charts, spreadsheets and helping HSBC with their tasks. The economics team specifically have a look along side students and will engage in conversations.  AI. Reduce unemployment, increase productivity which net would create more employment. AI is hoped to add value, and you'll need to learn how to work with AI. Recent rate cuts been demand side. Planning and trade deals have been good for supply side. Trying to deregulate areas in the financial side. Monetar...

Monday: Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Programme Introduction: Programme lead, Mustafa, introduced himself and peers on the journey. He explained how he was quite proud to be in the position to be able to talk to the youth and inspire us to make change. What I found quite real was that the need for spending on specific activities such as counter terrorism, domestic abuse and others isn't always one that people WANT to spend money on, rather they would rather engage the youth and try to boost society, instead of trying to control and prevent.. The government is not great at talking to minorities. For instance, talking to ‘Hindus’ is often also labelled as talking to “Indians”. This doesn’t include all the different types of hindus and can often “box” people up into groups. This problem has been critical in the adult social care industry, where culture hasnt been accounted for.  Mustafa suggested that a more bespoke method to social care is required. There were...

  Wow! What a great day out. From seeing the success and struggles in M&A's to being able to learn the CEO of moonpig's story, this insight day was packed with learning and excitement. I used text to speech here and then gpt to fix up my grammar, so forgive f incorrect in places or if any EM dashes have been used. Keynote: Why the city matters? Neil Shah started by explaining why London is one of the most exciting places to build a career in finance. Londinium was founded in the 15th century, and this city is used to raise capital, manage risk, and shape the general economy. The power of London comes from its proximity; for instance, during the pandemic Rolls Royce was able to be saved as £80 billion was raised. There are about 2.4 million people that work in financial and professional services, which is about two-thirds of the total amount of people in the whole world. Session 1: How does the stock market work? Live trades, real-time polling, and expert insights. This inte...

I was recently given the opportunity to analyse a company for a potential investor and was really proud of myself for finding alot of flaws, WITHOUT chatgpt or the use of any AI model. Painfully, I have changed every single detail so that the company is not identifiable. Sorry for the terrible cover image. Its 1am and I want to sleep. These are transcripts: [10:15, 03/11/2023] Aneesh: this has got to be delusion [10:21, 03/11/2023] Aneesh: 😂 they are telling you he's going to sign 2.5 million candidates a year until 2028. Thats 6800 people each day [10:24, 03/11/2023] Aneesh: jumping from 150k to 3.2 million in 4 years.... [10:27, 03/11/2023] Aneesh: Also, look at 2024, the TR is 4.3 , operating costs are 3.8, giving a net of 0.5 BUT profit and loss go from -0.6 to 0.2 [10:29, 03/11/2023] Aneesh: this is a 0.8 increase, which only makes sense if they include pre-launch loss [10:30, 03/11/2023] Aneesh: i think the operating costs are potentially backloaded and the actual operating ...

Friday was perhaps the best afternoon I've had in a long time. With school over and unable to talk economics with peers and teachers, that feeling of not being to share my passion with others has been gut wrenching. That said, the feeling of being able to talk to a senior economic adviser at HSBC, an author of a few books, a Freelance columnists and someone who was so well versed on his economics was such a nice interaction. I have kept details minimal about said economist to respect his privacy. The first half of our hour long conversation was a bit of icebreaker questions. I gave information about myself, the reasons for why I love economics so much, the fact that I have played chess at a competitive level before and a bit more on why I am driven to make money. It was interesting to also learn how the economist had too come from humble backgrounds and genuinely wanted to make an impact. His journey was fascinating and it showed me the sheer power of hard work.  Getting a bit too ...

Belkin but The replacement industry in general I intend this to be a longer blog post, with more research to come in the following weeks. If anyone would like to join, feel free to comment or contact me. Waiting to buy. Going to buy and then ACTUALLY buying my new iphone was such an exciting process. After using my shabby dies-in-ten-minutes iPhone 10 for a couple of new years, my parents finally decided that it was time to upgrade. So, after a month long process of going back and forth, a bit like a tennis match, with my parents on what phone I wanted/"needed", we finally decided to go to the apple shop. Selecting my new iPhone was an interesting process in itself, considering what options and trade off's I minded/didn't mind; eventually leading to the iPhone 16.  The first step after buying a new phone, at least for me, is to get the best protection. Thats why I "invested" in an a (good?) quality case and a (good?) quality screen protector as well. Both we...

LSE Open Day- Learning: Pure economics: Why you may want to study economics and why at LSE? Quite overlapping with other social sciences. In recent decades has become broad; the recent nobel prize was about how institutions. Data from satellites used to figure out what is happening with ships and which ones are caring about sanctions imposed on resources. Skills developed are quite versatile, analytical and rigorous. Requires financial modelling of economic relationships and testing hypothesis against data. Econometrics; advanced statistical methods.

LSE 100- social problems  are good to study. You also n eed to be comfortable with maths but ...
