Has anyone in the forum have further information as to what could profession/occupation which identifiable for Scb 2 and 3.

Kindly help.

Thank you

  1. An equity analyst or trader, could have some commission based income

  2. An auto mechanic or something similar with no relation to the stock market

  1. Stock broker, M&A analyst, PE Principal

  2. Race car driver/professional athlete, poker player, entrepreneur in a non cyclical business.

How about a lawyer who works as an consultants for firms (variable salary and no fixed salary). By 45 yrs he/she has considerable FC.

Where would we categorise him/her as?

Thank you

Depends whether he works for stock listed companies. If yes, then his assignments are likely to decline in market slowdown because companies cut cost.

IMHO, when no info given, I would guess that his income is un certain based on no fixed salary and consulting style (demand-based) job. High allocation to safe assets appropraite.

IMHO?

So does it fit Scn 2 or 3?

in my honest (humble) opinion

rather 3
