    Frm 1 Foundation Video Part 1, Topic 1

    Hi ahansen, As I have an iPad, I am interested in downloading the video files directly from the browser.

    Poor quality m4v videos

    Hi David, I confirm what Anar_London states: 2011 M4V videos are a little blur when playing them with an iPad. Would be very nice if the new 2012 M4V videos fit perfectly the iPad screen ! Regards, trabala38

    Structured email - What to expect ?

    Hi David, I agree with you: it is helpful. Especially for those working and studying FRM at the same time. I think a lot of FRM candidates will appreciate to have a suggested "step by step" learning path, where they can make a continuous/weekly progress in the cursus. Thanks ! trabala38

    FRM 2011 results

    Hello everyone, I passed Level 1 ! 1st quartile in each category. I am quite happy. I have to say : BT really prepares for the exam with its practice questions. I think the practice questions really go deep into each topic/reading, which, I believe, is the key success factor for FRM exam...

    Stulz Chapter 3 - Distance to Default

    Hello David, Indeed, Stulz assume normal prices in his textbook. It is a point that I had overlooked. Regarding the information on how to compute the normal deviate, Stulz (Chapter 3; Risk Management and Derivates, p57-58) gives only this information: "To get the present value of bankruptcy...
