Study Weather
For studying, what more could I ask of August weather than to be in the 50s and 60s with a bit of rain and a cool breeze?
As I mentioned previously, I'm studying for the Series 7 exam, which, upon passing, provides me with a license to be a stock broker, dealer, financial adviser, and a number of other things. In my current situation, it will allow me to trade on a large margin account.
So far, I've waded through the chapters on equities, debt (bonds), and options. It's not very exciting stuff to write here on my blog, so I really haven't been posting lately.
For those of you keeping track, I've completed 38.5% of the chapters in my study material, taken 24 of 104 quizzes (I'm repeating each of the 52 section quizzes a week after I take them the first time), and I have 10 chapter exams to go. After all that, there are a handful of practice exams, ranging widely in difficulty, that I will also take. My overall average score at the moment is 94.5%, and the Series 7 exam requires a mere 70% to pass.
I have until the end of the month to do this. No problem!
It would be nice if the weather held up, though.

Hey. I'm glad the studies are going well. I hope that you are finding at least a little bit of time to take in NYC. I've been commuting back and forth to St. Louis for the past couple of weeks, and I must say, the city of STL is kind of growing on me. You mentioned before that STL was not your favorite. Can I ask you to elaborate on what you didn't like about STL?
