Depends on what they want to do. Rice has the best academics of those 3, so if they're into engineering or science that's the obvious choice. Can land pretty solid national jobs with a Rice degree. SMU has the best networking opportunities per capita for a non-target school. Won't be able to compete...

re: Alternative view on why LA struggles to attract new companies.

It's plain and simply taxes and bad local govt. Property taxes on commercial property are like 17% of assessed value. Then you've got the Gordon's of the world preventing my company from even getting insurance in LA. I'm not huge, but I do a little less 15 mil in revenue and employ around 120 people...

re: VCU fans are Salty tonight
Posted by chongo on 3/20/17 at 10:26 pm
I'd be pissed too. They've gone to the dance 7 times in a row, including a final 4. We've gone dancing once during that time. It would be like U-La-La poaching Ed. O after this year (based purely on results over the last decade).
I understand this view isn't how things/programs work. But VCU has...

re: Any thoughts on the proposed changes to retirement plans by the Dept of Labor??
Posted by chongo on 3/8/17 at 5:06 pm
You got it wrong. The fiduciary rule requires advisors to simply act in the best interests of the client. That may require the advisor suggest an ETF with an expense ratio of 0.15% as opposed to a similarly weighted mutual fund run by the advisors employer that charges 1.50%.
So nothing about h...
