ZF course introduction

*this is to help the incoming applicants of the new batch to determine if they are ready for what will happen in the course

We exist for each other. But to the rest of the world, we are a myth. A work of fiction

This was part of the introduction to the course. Our identities were secret and only known to one another. A lock down was implemented that created a bunker type mentality wherein we had to depend on no one but ourselves. There was also one major course requirement that would be painful for some. Painful but extremely necessary. And this was just the start. 

Once the course started, here are some things to expect: 

During the course

• Lessons will come and come down HARD and fast. Expect to experience information overload multiple times in the course. Expect your mouths to drop in awe as well. Also, as in any other course, there are seatworks, practical exams, groupworks that you will have to finish in a short period of time. Expect sleepless nights especially for those with a tiring day job.
• The amount of dedication expected will be very high. 8pm-11pm M-F for 3 months will wear down on you earthlings. Even my neural networks bogged down at the end due to the amount of knowledge transfer.  Remember, the mentors are imparting knowledge and understanding that took years for them to learn and develop. And it will all be force fed to you. 
• There will be NO SPOON FEEDING. During the course all stock picks that you will make will just be your own. There might be pocket discussions on a hot or trending stock for the day but these are usually kept at a minimum. The mentors are teaching you how to fish so you will be able to make your own decisions after the course.

After the course

Interaction with the mentors will be kept to a minimum. Lessons are over so they expect you to have a higher understanding of what happens with Ms Market. Remember, she is not a forgiving master. The feeling of achievement when you are able to select a winning stock based on just the chart and not just on tips or rumors is one of the best feelings. 

If you still choose to take the red pill and go ahead with the course after reading this short primer, then I sincerely hope that you get accepted and you learn as much as you can. Get ready to get your mind blown. It will be one hell of a ride.
