 | How do you decide when to sell a stock? - LSUTOM07 on 5/21/13 at 1:09 pm
This is something I am struggling with. I have a hard time not locking in gains when I am up more than 15-20%. What methods do you use to determine if a stock should be sold or held on to after nice gains?...

[quote]Yes, your credit report age matters. This isn’t how old you are; it’s how old your credit report is. Essentially, the credit score is looking for whether or not you have a long history of managing credit obligations.

So what are the normal career paths for field engineers?
I have heard most only work 2-3 years as a field engineer. I'm assuming long hours and working some weekends but I can handle that. What is to be expected after the 3 year stretch as a field engineer?...

My main goal is to get into the O&G field. With a civil degree I wouldn't have to get a Pete undergrad to get my masters in petroleum. With that being said, would it be more beneficial to have a civil degree with a petroleum degree or a civil degree with a petroleum masters? Both look like they will...
