What kind of business do you do?

 

Right now, International mergers and acquisitions. And I own a holding company.

 

O really? I don't know anything about those positions but they sound interesting. I'm inquiring about your position cause I'm going into business after school and I'm always curious as to what young ppl are doing to stack their chips[money] right early on in life.

 

Eventually get real estate or maybe invest in real estate. Cause that is pivotal to wealth building. But you definitely want to diversify with stock,bonds,etc. I also suggest subscribing to black enterprise,entrepreneur magazine and smart money.

 

Oh, I'm already up on the real estate. I have many relatives and family (both my parents) who are already involved in realty so I've got a pretty good perspective on where I wanna go w/ a career. But thanks for your time and information, it's always nice to have another opinion. I don't know much about stocks and bonds and I definitely need to look more into it cause the wall street business seems quite interesting and profitable.

 

The wall street business is hard and very competitive. But you can definitely make 10s of millions if you're good.

 

I actually know Armstrong Williams.

Thats really great for you guys. I'd love to get involved in all of that too. Oh and by the way, my dad is into all of the whole Wall Street thingy but dont even ask me about it coz i have not the slightest of ideas. Although it wont hurt to know. :wink:
