Here's an interesting article on a recent ruling regarding the restructuring of Argentina's sovereign debt: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/20/business/economy/ruling-on-argentina-gives-investors-an-upper-hand.html Not totally sure about the potential ramifications of this ruling, but according...

Hi David, I posted this message in a another, and think it may have been lost with all the chatter that was going on. I've been trying to print the part 2 formula sheet and am having a problem printing pages 73-111 (I could not attach the file because its too large). Apparently, there is a...

Here's an interesting article for anyone who's interested: http://www.garp.org/risk-news-and-resources/risk-headlines/story.aspx?newsid=72763&utm_source=informz&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TEST To me, it really puts the huge importance of risk management in perspective and confirms that I'm...

Hi David, I've been viewing the "Topic Review" videos and realize that they were created during the 2012 exam year. Specifically, I recently view the "Operational Risk" and in it you mentioned your expectation, at the time, was that questions on Model Risk would be tame. It's 2014 now, so I'm...

David, While reviewing the explanation to one of your questions (from R32.P2.T5.Dowd - see Question #4 on Page #22), I tried to access the link you provide but it doesn't work. Can you provide the learning spreadsheet for this question? Thanks, Charles

Hi David, I tried to start a conversation with you, but I'm not sure if that feature works for users. Is the conversation feature working? If not, I would be happy to sen you my question as a thread. Let me know. Thanks, Charles

Hi David, I just registered for the FRM Part 2 Exam and am ready to get going on my preparation for the exam. I also purchased the BT Part 2 Professional Exam Prep Package as it will be my main source for exam prep. However, I'm on the fence about purchasing the official GARP FRM Part 2 Exam...

Hi David, How are you today? Well, I took the exam this morning. And, I'm a little disappointed in myself. I forgot to bring my watch with me and had no way to track my time. I ended up having to guess on the last 10 or so questions. Up until that point, I felt I was tracking in the...

Hi David, I believe I read in one of your thread messages that Suzanne (or someone) is preparing mock exams. Is this correct? If so, do you know when the mock exam(s) will be available? I think I've gone through all of the current practice questions at least once. I am beginning to feel...

Hi David, I have been doing the GARP practice questions recently, and I encountered one, on tracking error calculation, that really has me perplexed (see attached). According to the explanation, the correct answer is "c" 3.05%. But, when I performed the calculation (on my calculator and via...

Hi David, First, I have no practical experience with bonds or bond portfolios. So, in reading Tuckman Chapter 5 (Multi-factor Risk Metrics and Hedges), I am totally confused on the portion where he explains how to measure and hedge against key rate exposures. I am referring to pages 133 & 134...

Hi David, Are there any learning spreadsheets created for the examples in the FX Risk chapter (Saunders)? I am struggling with how the $104.22US and 4.22% were calculated (see attached screenshot with highlighted values). Thanks, Charles

Hi David, I'm not sure, but I believe you will issue "focused review" videos for the upcoming exam. Is this correct? If so, this is great. However, it would be even better if you held a live review session as well. That said, are you planning to hold a live review or Q&A session so that...
