Hend Abuenein I found a good read here :) - http://www.lifeonthebuyside.com/cfa-to-finance/

Rizwan Ali Hi Rizwan, Yes, that's correct. But any thoughts on what impact not holding a charter can have ? Like you, I also completed my MBA and working as business analyst for a custodian. From a layman's view, I believe that it's knowledge that matters. :cool: I don't know how the...

From Rizwan Ali 's post above - "I also know that I have to show work experience in CFA or FRM. That is answer I am trying to find. FRM do shows job titles in Information Technology like i currently have like Business Analyst. But CFA don't." In the same boat. Would it matter if one clears all...

Mistake I made while solving question 202.5 Forgot to include the weights of assets in portfolio while calculating it's variance :mad:

I made a very silly mistake while solving a question today and I thought of sharing these mistakes. May be it benefits some candidates by giving the heads up to take care of small things which we sometimes are missed while solving.

Wow ! The turtle on bottom right in the video above is all groomed in 5 years ! :p The post out here is good for understanding too: http://www.bionicturtle.com/how-to/article/contango_backwardation_expected_future_price David, correct me if I am wrong but this is how I understand this works...

BTW, I am getting back in action :) All geared up for November :cool:

Hi David, I see that that the question set of Gujarati (two 2010 pdfs) are removed now. I think that the questions were very good in that set. Not sure whether you have included them in the current question set pdfs.. ?? Thanks and Regards LL

Alek, good job !! Keep it up ! I have seen your replies on other posts too !! You are very helpful :)

Gawwd ! After solving so much on these, I made a very stupid mistake ! for 1, I was multiplying $2 with value of U (instead of lambda(u)) !! Such a stupid mistake that was ! :(

Hi Alek, yep, I am also getting 1.349. My question for snapshot 1 - I am not getting 0.93 and 12.42 (as highlighted in red) My question for snapshot 2 - As your calculation, I am also getting 1.349. But why is excel showing 1.2 for U and 0.8 for D. Thanks and Regards LL

Hi David, 1. Page 22 of notes: I am not getting 0.93 or 12.42 in my calculations. Not sure am I missing something ? Can you please explain how did you calculate these ? 2. U and D calculation in excel sheet - tab 2 (European put) To make myself clear on above, when I used the excel, I was...

Most of my questions are answered in the forum. I just have to browse through it ! :)

Well.. I think I got my answer here. http://forum.bionicturtle.com/threads/relevance-of-bt-practice-question-pdfs-for-2012-part-1-exam.5276/ Thanks :)

Hi David, I came across the question banks for Gujarati under the study material. Is it critical for the May 2012 exam ? I am asking because Gujarati is not in the core readings any more. Please suggest. Thanks and Regards LL

David - When I viewed the video further I realized that the first tab is missing from the 2011 excel. The video further shows the extract of the second tab and the excel sheet corresponds to it. However, the concepts of the first tab are explained in the study notes. So I am good :cool: Just...

Hello David / Suzanne - In the part 1 of the video, you have given an extract from the spread sheet titled '1.a.1 Intro to Var'. But when I opened that spreadsheet (its from 2011, there was nothing published for 2012), the content was different than what is shown in the video. Also, in the video...

Thanks David. I am getting the hang of it now. So 'T1. Allen Chapter 4.pdf' was published in 2010 and 'T1 Modern Portfolio Theory & Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) (Elton & Gruber)' in 2012. I hope that means that we still have to solve the 2010 sheet and it still holds essential for 2012...

Suzanne / David, Thank you for your response. Just to be more clear on this, when I am at the study planner, I see questions set titled 'T1 Modern Portfolio Theory & Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) (Elton & Gruber)'. Is this the compiled set of all the questions for T1 ? I am a little...

Hi David / Suzanne I am new to BT and made level 1 tier 3 purchase. I am having few doubts. Would appreciate if you can explain on this. 1. When I clicked on the Practice Questions under 'how to', I see that there are lot of questions posted prior to 2012. My doubt is while preparing for May...
