Stress Testing / Scenario Analyses

[Menelaus]

I've had an email from an organisation in Malaysia offering to fly me to KL for two days to give a training course and offering to pay me $3000 for doing it.

Questions:

1. Has anyone else had this?
2. Is this as much of a con as it sounds?
3. Should I do it?

Thanks - already confirmed this!

Obviously in 2 days you can only cover the basics. The more advanced topics will be covered in the other courses you offer.

Best of luck with it.

Cheers - in two days with a bunch of delegates from SE Asian banks I'll be surprised if I can get the basics done.

The brief seems to be one of "how can we fit macrodata to our portfolio" to which the answer seems to be "you can't". Meh.

fixed (obviously I have no idea if you actually can but I'm guessing neither does the client.
