front-end load

Read a random definition: law of the sea

A quick definition of front-end load:

A front-end load is a type of fee that is charged when you buy shares in a mutual fund. This fee is usually a percentage of the amount you invest and is taken out of your investment right away. It's like paying a fee to get into a theme park. The front-end load is used to pay for things like marketing and sales commissions. Some mutual funds don't charge a front-end load, but they may charge other fees instead.

A more thorough explanation:

A front-end load is a type of commission charged by some mutual funds when investors buy shares. This fee is usually a percentage of the amount invested and is deducted from the initial investment. For example, if an investor buys $1,000 worth of shares in a mutual fund with a 5% front-end load, $50 will be deducted from the investment and only $950 will be used to purchase shares.

Front-end loads are one way that mutual funds generate revenue to cover their operating costs. However, they can reduce the amount of money an investor has available to invest and can make it harder to earn a profit.

For example, if an investor buys $10,000 worth of shares in a mutual fund with a 5% front-end load and the fund earns a 10% return over the next year, the investor's profit will be $450 ($1,000 return minus $50 front-end load).

@jackfrost11770: That's like a huge pitfall. People say it's easy to get into like med school or law school through West Point and it is not at all. Yeah, Russian would make you very valuable to them. You will see West Point people in law school but that's very few compared to how many went through the prelaw program there. Best just to enlist and become a combat medic. I've seen like 4 of em here anyway so you didn't really miss anything by going straight to law school.

I "speak" Dutch but never used it after training back in 2012. Russian is great if you can get into INTEL but outside of that they would just assign you a lot of NATO roles if you go EUCOM. If you go Jag it may score you a nice job in Europe but at this point with the lack of benefits the military would give you just go state department as an attorney and you will travel the world.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Oh yeah, I get that. My buddy just got back from Jordan and he gained like 25 lbs there just being a fat ass doordashing for 50 cents a delivery.
yeah haha i mean i was like 15 so i didn't know anything, and yeah that makes complete sense. my main thing was that i knew i didn't want to go to medical school and i didn't want to straight out enlist so that kinda closed the door on that

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: indeed, it could but I could also just like visit on my own time. Though I have met like 10 or so JAG officers that got an Italian or French or Spanish wife while over in Europe so that is cool.
but i'd love to talk to you about that sometime if that's alright because i've been seriously considering INTEL and other similar roles but i know quite literally nothing about it and don't know where to start researching

@jackfrost11770: Best bet if going law route is Law School to JAG to either Mead or Gordon imo then.

@jackfrost11770: I have my undergrad in Intelligence and Terrorism and worked a good bit in the IC so I can answer some broad questions but not many direct because the nature of the field. If you want to go to law school and get your JD it really depends what intel work you would want to do and where you want to live.
thank you!! yeah i also know they always need STEM grads ofc, so i know i have that going for me as well

If you do it from the attorney side you will be skirting the left and right limits of laws like the NDAA to conduct domestic espionage or how to kidnap or spy on people in foreign countries without committing war/international crimes. JAG would be very very general and location based. At one unit you can be the personal attorney to a commander not even having your own office or desk, next one you can be leading the prosecution of terrorist and rapist and the next one be the legal OK for drone striking people. It is a very varied job you have little control over.

The last jag I worked with had a folding picnic table as his desk and had to bring his office chair home every night because people would steal it and he hated using a bucket as a seat. All he did was keep commanders from being fired cause they kept doing illegal shit. It is a varied journey.

This is so true. I still have my folding table. I put alcohol on it now and it is my home bar.

For one I would try not asking questions that start with “How do you recommend grooming a child?”
11:06
lol people just have bad connotations with it, is it grooming to have your kid play hockey with you and watch games so they want to play when they turn 6?
Dkk

@EvolBunny: Maybe, maybe but I think the TBI is better advice.
