Hey guys, I gave a wrong date of my exam. Dont know what I was thinking ;) Well I too am giving my dec 2007 exam. I would like to join you guys in the study group. |
| shillu @2007-04-18 04:53:22 |
Hey Satty, Are you done by Economics by now? Coz I am starting now and would like to join u. Thanks Shilpa |
| satty @2007-04-19 08:48:01 |
Hey Shillu, I am startin Economics this weekend only. Satheesh |
| shillu @2007-04-20 05:36:23 |
Hi Satty, Thats nice to know.I started with Quantitative today and thought of finishing them first coz I am not good in Quantitative ;) So thought of getting by the toughest one first. Do u want to do Quantitative b4 eco? |
| satty @2007-04-20 10:10:32 |
Hey I too thought of doing Quants before Econ but I thought of getting myself the BA II Plus Pro calculator before starting Quants, that way it will get me acquainted with calc soon. Satheesh |
| shillu @2007-04-20 22:13:22 |
Hi satheesh, Well then i guess we can start once u get ur calci...Do you want to redo the schedule and we can stick to it... We can start doing the same study session together and can discuss any queries we may have. Let me know by when u can get ur calci? Cheers Shilpa |
| satty @2007-04-23 07:08:17 |
Hey Thts fine. I will be travellin this weekend through Dubai to India. I will get the calculator by this weekend and once i come back i.e by 13th may, we can start. Wat do u say?. By the time can u wish to prepare a schedule or do u want me to prepare one. Anyways i have finished Ethics and have started economics. Satheesh |
| satty @2007-04-23 12:36:39 |
Shillu, How do you plan to start a study group online?. Do you think it will be easier to post your queries here or start a forum for it. Satheesh |
| shillu @2007-04-23 18:17:14 |
Hi Satheesh, Thats fine with me. Meanwhile I will also prepare a schedule.I was wondering if you want to finish one subject at a time or do u want to touch all subjects simultaneously? I was thinking like posting the question both here and also in the forum that way we will get replies from other guys. Have a safe journey. Cheers Shilpa |
| satty @2007-04-24 06:18:02 |
Did you see my schedule above? I had prepared that. But see, now I have 1 month lag on my schedule. It woul be better if we take one subject at a time till Quants and Econ are over. Then we can take 2 subjects at a time and carry them simultaneously. Wat do you say? |
| Shawna @2007-04-24 21:14:34 |
Hi guys. I would like to join your study group. I am writing Dec/07. Pleaselet me know where you are at in the schedule so I can catch up. Maybe we can form a chat rm to talk online, throw out questions etc. Thanks Shawna |
| satty @2007-04-25 06:43:32 |
Hey Shawna, If you see the posts above by Shilpa you will know. We are planning to start with Quants as of now. But I have finished Ethics and started Economics. But I will leave Economics half finished to start Quants. But my idea is that we can finish with Econ as of now, and then start with Qunats because all the other coming subjects are related to Quants. Wat do all of u say? Rgds, Satheesh |
| Shawna @2007-04-25 17:04:56 |
I think that's a good idea. Alot of the areas reference the material in Quants. I have already read Ethics & Economics, but I'll review to keep the same schedule as everyone else. |
| satty @2007-05-02 09:21:19 |
Shawna, Sorry for the late reply. But it is nice of u to review Econ with us. I am now in possession of a BA II calculator. So we will start with Quants once I return back as Shilpa says it is easier for her to start with Quants. Wat do u say? Shilpa. But anyways check out what Shawna had written above. Ok. How will we start the study group? Satheesh P R |
| PortfolioTheory @2007-05-04 09:45:56 |
I wanna join the study group, I don't have the required material but I think I have sufficient material that I consider comprehensive for my Level 1 preparation.I'm still in my Final year and thinking to give Level 1 a shot in December.I would definately struggle with Ethics.At the moment, I have no material as far as this module is concerned. |
| shillu @2007-05-07 20:30:55 |
Hi guys.. Whats happening? I feel like that I am lost. I was on vaccation and couldnt keep to the pace. I am fine with anything. If you guys want to start with eco and then quants thats fine with me. But first lets try to decide on the schedule so that it would be easy to follow. Let me know and lets not waste more time in juz deciding which to do first. Lets juz go ahead. Cheers Shilpa |
| shillu @2007-05-07 23:05:35 |
Hi Guys, I have worked on the schedule. I think I have given enough time to go through all chapters. Here is the schedule: By may 30th,2007 :Quantitative Methods By June 15th,2007 :Corporate Finance By June 20th,2007 :Alternative Investment By July 10th,2007 :Fixed Income By Aug 10th,2007 :Financial Statements Analysis By Aug 25th,2007 :Economics - Macro By Sept 10th,2007 :Portforlio Management By Oct 5th,2007 :Equity By Oct 20th,2007 :Economics - Micro & Global By Oct 31st,2007 :Derivatives By Nov 5th,2007 :Ethics Since most of them have completed Ethics, we will have 1 month for mock tests,revision.Let me know what u guys think about it. cheers Shilpa |
| Shawna @2007-05-08 18:20:01 |
That looks fine to me. Although Quants II is a heavy chapter, I should be able to keep up. |
| adebola @2007-05-10 08:18:18 |
hello, guys. isnt late to join ur study group? if i may ask do u read up the recommended text or some other text? |
| gelar005 @2007-05-11 00:57:24 |
Hi guys, Luv to be included. But how do we communicate? What time sets have been set where every one would be available. As well, as Shawna rightfully pointed out, Quants requires some time to understand. Again are u guys using only the CFA text or analyst notes or a combination? Cos I've got the CFA bks and the reading is killing me cos its quite voluminous @ adebola I'm using the CFA bks and as well as the analyst notes. But depends on the material u have available. |
| aknecak @2007-05-11 13:19:08 |
Hi everybody, I am just now thinking of doing the exams in December. I don't have any materials, any text book and even didn't start study. I have financial backround. Do you think, that I will have enough time to prepare till December? Or I should leave that till June 08? Can you give me advise? Thank you very much.. |
| gelar005 @2007-05-11 22:27:03 |
Sure u can pass the exams as long as u start studying asap.Advanced studying gives u an edge as u become familiar with CFA material but not a guaranteed pass.So u can still make up for lost time. Sorry to disappoint u, but a financial background is not sufficient enough to scale through this particular exam but a leverage as per understanding certain areas probably like quants or corp fin. But then again if u still don't feel prepared to take the exams just wait till June 08 |
| satty @2007-05-12 14:49:31 |
HEY SHILLU, We havent yet decided on how to start the online study group. Wat do u say?. How r we going to do it? Satheesh P R |
| Shawna @2007-05-12 19:26:30 |
Hey guys. As per one of my previous posts, what do you think about a chat room? |
| jarodment @2007-05-13 09:29:13 |
hi, guys. I'll take the level 1 in Dec. Great to find a study group online. So is there place where we can have some discussion, or post our question for each other, or simply some materials to share? I think such a place would be of great value to all of us. |
| shillu @2007-05-14 18:25:50 |
Hi guys, I understand that we may need more time for quants. We can add 5 to 10 days more and accordingly change the dates for the others. |
| locklock @2007-05-15 03:51:19 |
Hi all, I will be taking the level 1 in Dec. I have not started my materials yet. BUt plan to start this week. However, may I ask what kind of books r u guys using? I am currently having 2006 Schweser study notes. Do you think I should get the Schweser 2007 edition or just apply for the analystnotes.com USD69 package? Any recommendations? How much different in syllabus between the 2006 n 2007 version. Any idea?? |
| gelar005 @2007-05-15 05:57:18 |
@ shawna A chatroom is the only reasonable place we all can participate. At least thats what i think. Well i second ur suggestion. BTW when do we start? Guys the earlier we do the better because I'm beginning to forget alot of things. @ locklock If u do a search on this site(can't seem to remember which forum exactly), there's a reply regarding the changes in the 06/07 curriculum. In all honesty, i'd advise u either get the 2007 notes to save u the stress. |
| satty @2007-05-15 08:19:13 |
There are lots of changes btw 2006 and 2007. You will surely need 2007 notes. Where do u plan to start the online chat group?. Guys and gals we are just talkin abt the same, not doing anythin in particular to take this further. Satheesh P R |
| kassim @2007-05-22 12:51:18 |
nice concept but how are u going to meet looking at different time zones and which site we use to communicate |
| Shawna @2007-05-22 18:10:04 |
what about yahoo or messenger |
| cfa20071 @2007-05-25 23:28:05 |
Hi Guys I have just decided to start the preparation. Can someone advice me the best materials - is it the CFA notes or the text books. I do not have a finance background, so pls advice accordingly. |
| shillu @2007-06-07 22:24:05 |
Messenger sounds good to me... Hope all of u are studying by now? I was thinking that if we have any doubts can post them here only so that we can get the answers in the meanwhile. Happy Reading guys |
| pinat @2007-06-09 17:03:52 |
Hi guys! I have just decided to take Dec 2007 exam and learned about analystnotes. Haven't prepared a schedule. I have the list of relevant chapters from all those books. I am a Business Administration grad and I already studied most of these topics so I am not sure which book/note/material to follow. I hope to move fwd fast to catch up. Any suggestions/comments?!? |
| pink @2007-06-12 12:29:00 |
I'm very interested in the discussion! But I would like to discuss financial statement first. Please let me know if you are interested to discuss the same topic with me. Thanks |
| sandy007 @2007-06-13 16:47:12 |
errmmm....is it too late to join the group? i'm considering the dec 2007 exam - and am hoping to start studying next week (18 Jun) --- am i gonna be grossly out of time? - given most of you folks have started studying since April! nope - i have ZERO background in finance! :< |
| SophieS @2007-06-13 19:37:39 |
I would like to join this discussion. How does the communication work? I have finished the Ethics and almost done with the Economics part. I plan on taking the exam in December and have previous knowledge in Finance. |
| pinat @2007-06-14 19:27:25 |
I think you can do it if you manage to study with a schedule. The lack of finance background may make things harder for you though. I started only this week! |
| ranjg @2007-06-15 02:46:26 |
Hi All, sandy007 >> I am in exactly same boat as you - starting the study this week and zero bacgkround in finance. Lets give it a tough fight !! Regards ranj |
