you could probably redo all the questions at the end of each SS again. and the Self test. that will help jog up ur memory. Also you could try the review exam package at http://www.analystnotes.com/ its about $89

Use QBank

fucking indian

I saw Fragol rock on TV recently

They have some very good singers this year sha.

@bakre
Good job. Am sure it will be very popular in nigeria once they have a center over there.

Guys were are u at . Am in Analysis of Inventories SS 9

It is getting boring now.

Quant is a very small % of the exam . it was relatively straight forward as i had a very good maths background.

Why is there no center in nigeria and their is one in Ghana. these CFA people sef

My advice to this guy is that he take the banking job and try to get into their IT/Technology division later, I understand that he is being offered a marketing job now but  trust me its better scheming from within the organisation rather than from outside.

Not in Nigerian Banks. Once you get into Marketing you can't get out and you will not even have the skills or experience to go into the IT/engineering division of the bank. Trust me i am talking from experience

JJay1:
Thank you klas, guys banking is a fantastic career and don't be surprised that many of the banks MD/EDs actually have first degree in engineering. As a matter of fact big banks in Europe and the US would actually recruit an engineering graduate before considering a graduate of Finance/Accounting/Bus Admn. At the moment Goldman Sachs (a global financial giant) tours UK and US top Universities to recruit penultimate and final year engineering students. You'll be surprised that so many Nigerian engineers are benefitting from this.

Global investment banks are a different kettle of fish we are talking about Nigerian banks. The kind of work they do is totally different from what you can expect from a Marketing job in a Nigerian bank or even the Engineering/IT department.

The dude is mainly concerned about the money he is going to get from the bank relative to what he would get in the Engineering job. I dont think he is interested in a banking career per say

u mean am.

I will be doing it in London. Are you doing the June exam ?

Ol boy you do go far oh. so you don reach Fixed Income

I still dey S S 8 I just finished Understanding Income statement , i wan start Understanding Balanace Sheet now.

But Accounting is boring oh 

.

the dude is probably not man enough for the babe. Maybe you are not hitting the babe in the right spots

Well i had a similar experience and looking back i think following my heart worked out fine.

I actually got 2 bank offers with different start dates and was already working in an IT company although the pay was really crap ( =N= 20k)

I spent just 3 weeks in one of the banks where i was in Operations (gash i hated the smell of those dirty naira notes) and 2 months in the other bank where i was in Marketing ( left after 3 months when i found out that i couldnt meet up their stupid target ).

When another IT job came along i took it with both hands even though the pay was still crap (=N= 50k) , i was determined to learn and gain experience. and i was happy at the end of the day even though my pocket was not happy  .

a college who worked with me in the previous job is now clocking =N=550,000 per month while my humble self is not doing too bad as well ( but i no dey naija sha) just after about 5 years

The CFA notes are a too comprehensive and there is little time and so much material to study.
I think what schweser helps you do is to focus on the LOS. But people have also said that the questions in the
real thing are much simpler than schweser's Qbank

x

Yeah B is the correct answer.

Do u have access to QBANK. I got those questions from there

Q2 is correct.

Try Q1 again

Anyone wanna try this

Q1 . The sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean because the:


A) sampling distribution of the sample mean has the smallest variance of any other unbiased estimators of the population mean.

B) sample mean provides a more accurate estimate of the population mean as the sample size increases.

C) expected value of the sample mean is equal to the population mean.

D) sampling distribution of the sample mean is normal


Q2. One year ago, Karen Jason left the employment as a portfolio manager of Howe Advisors. The departure was contentious and both parties threatened legal action. As a result, both parties signed a settlement in which Jason was paid a pro rated bonus, but agreed not to work on the portfolios of any existing Howe client for two years. The terms of the agreement were that both parties agreed to keep all aspects of the agreement confidential, including the fact that there was hostility surrounding the departure. Jason now works for Torre Advisors, who has the Stein Company as a new client. At the time Jason left Howe, Stein was a client of Howe, although Jason did not personally work on the Stein portfolio. Jason's supervisor at Torre wants Howe to work on the Stein portfolio. Jason should:

A) work on the portfolio because she did not personally work on the portfolio when she was at Howe.

B) inform her supervisor that she cannot work on the portfolio because of a non-compete agreement.

C) inform her supervisor that she cannot work on the portfolio because of a legal agreement, but cannot tell him why.

D) leave the employment of Torre because of a conflict of interest.

tot it was a FV question

realkemmy:
hey guys, ve u gone to bed?

wats happening to the tread?

u guys shld try your hands on this. a financial istrument is currently selling @ $360.it promises a constant semi annual cash flow over a period of 5yrs. if the , required annual return is 12% calculate what the minimum semi annual return should be.

would post solution after seeing 5 pples answers.

all the best,

study hard.

r = 12 * 2 = 24%
n = 5 * 2 = 10

FV = PV*(1+r)^ n
=360*(1+.24)^10
=3,093


Your other question doesnt seem to be right. You did not provide number of years

@lowee
