Hello Guys,

I m from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I have decided to appear for CFA Level -1 exam in June 2010. can anybody suggest me the place from where i can buy material for CFA exam preparation?

Is the material available in any shop in Ahmedabad? i have heard that there is one shop in Vile Parle, Mumbai to get material of CFA Level -1. If anybody has an idea about it let me know at the earliest on my email id .

I also like to form a study group for exam if anybody is from ahmedabad?

Thanks and regards,

hey thnx man for the reply, Tho u dint fully answer my query. but i figured out some things for myself. actually i got confused with things like producer surplus and profit, but now i think things are a little more clearer. this's wut i understud. frm wut i read marginal cost = marginal benefit. well abt marginal revenue, i did come across the same thing that u said on the net, maybe thats a more precise evaluation. And isnt that marginal cost for that one extra unit the same as its opportunity cost? and this guy ll produce and sell until he reaches that equilibrium gettin a surplus for each unit he sells, totalling which u get producer surplus, and it shud be his profit, not the exact profit tho. pls correct me if im wrong.
I feel quantitative is ok, manageable. tho a lil vast.

TBH, economics is very conceptual and tough to understand at the very first go but when it also opens ur mindset to new levels....

I am a software engg in Bangalore preparing for Level 1 2010 and would like to get in touch with 2010 level 1 aspirants from Bangalore. Please reply to this post. Thanks.

Regarding my preparation , I have started with Derivatives and Corporate finance. Finished two chapters from each . The schwesser notes aren't that good for a first time reader. I study from the CFA text book and look into the notes where required.

Hey arkos,
I did get your difficulty at the first go,and I said to myself here is a guy who wants to read through CFA very fast,that's why he is having difficulty.
Personally,I would advise you to chew on them,discuss doubts and stick to definitions.
See,i do understand and am on page with you on this,when you use marginal cost and opportunity cost interchangeably,but technically they are very different and refers to two different quantities.
So dude,stick to definitions,marginal cost is the extra cost one incurs to produce one extra unit,which is solely influenced by two things:-
i)actual cost in producing the quantity.
ii)the net surplus/deficit arising out of selling total units at the changed price.

Think over it,and you will find out for yourself why what is perceived generally is right.

Anyways,keep posting,it helps me learn too and keeps us abreast.

Cheers!

Hi bamboozle,
I was wondering how would it be if the candidates from Bangalore form a study group and probably interact face to face over weekends/holidays to conduct teaching sessions and clarify doubts . This way it becomes very easy to absorb the material and makes our preparation more interesting as well. Whats your opinion..

Other candidates from bangalore kindly reply...

Thanks.

Hi Shankar

I guess its a good idea and it'll also keep us on our toes.Especially teaching sessions cos i believe when you have to teach someone you study it the best.

Hi,
Please restrcit ur posts to CFA discussions.On ur qsn:
If you are very sure that u wud like to pursue a finance career then my suggestion wud be to go for a Bank job rather than an IT job.TCS has a gr8 reputation though it might not be beneficial as regards to a finance career unless u get into a finance vertical out there.the final call is urs..
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and ur opinion helps. always better to hear a second opinion
