@christine, that’s just good discipline! 😉 I like the ‘shoot-and-go’ concept @Sophie advocated too. Feels like a video game
Up5mjgavilanes said:retaking level 2. what’s the best material Schwesser and Wiley?I was planning on going for Schweser, worked well for me in L1 but @ellieb19 is giving me doubts! Are there any differences in L2 that may call for a different provider? Schweser has a discount right now I think, so would want to decide soon.
Up5all the best @tim, just need some perseverance.
Up5Hi @DollarstoDonuts, what does RIA stand for?
Up5It’s the good ol’ dividend discount model for me. It’s simple, makes sense, I guess one of the basic valuation methodology. Forms a basis to all the different variations in cash flow definitions later on (FCFF, FCFE).
Up5We will get there someday @Dollarstodonuts. You a little quicker since you’re nearly done with the CFA. Good luck!
Up5It’s either smooth jazz or gentle lounge music. Helps block out other background noises!
Up5Hi @policedog, I’m a Level 1 too (there are others too like @shweb). In the same boat. Just managed to take the last week of work. I’m doing my first timed practice exam this weekend. Fingers crossed. Don’t expect it to be good either, but I just want to make sure I finish on time and attempted all the questions. First little goal
Up5Hmm… have yet to hear of a 1-1 tutoring for CFA I must say. Why not you post your questions in this community whenever you have a question? It’s probably more useful to discuss with candidates and the 300 Hours gang in general, plus it’s free and you get a quick response usually.
Up5@karanv_10111 – you are right in the price weighted index example.
For equal weighted index, your calculation is correct if it assumes using arithmetic mean method. This should how much % return you’d get as if you invested $1 into each stock (though technically you can’t buy a fraction of a stock).
You can also calculate the return of an equal weighted index using geometric mean (if stated), which is [(1.3333*0.7153*1.25)^(1/3)]-1 = 6%
Up5Love this post, very inspiring @brosephstalin! Good to have you on board 🙂
Up5I don’t think your degree should count against you, and you have relevant financial experience, which carries more weight. I’d like to think that it’s an interesting differentiator in interviews, you have more of a story of how you get into finance and why you want to pursue that particular path.
What areas of finance or roles are you looking into? I think starting off with doing Level 1 is a good start!
Up5Nothing like getting them wrong in practice questions to cement them in my mind!
