hi...
here are my comments:-

Schweser notes provided by them will have 2010 printed on outside page and 2009 will be printed on subsequent page. ---> dis is true...dese notes are for june 2010 and dec 2010.

It contains 5 study material 2 Ques Banks and CD for total cost of Rs. 1000/ incl courier to Delhi ---> price is f9... if u buy dem in person...he gives u for 600.... rest 400...he is charging u for courier.

From where I can buy calculator in Delhi and any pointer which of the two should i go for---> laxmi xerox, mumbai also gives calc... u can ask him to courier it to you...price varies frm 1850-2200...u need to bargain..
in delhi u can get it in south ex..here is d adress
313, 3rd Floor, South Ext. Plaza-II, Masjid Moth, South Ext. Part II, New Delhi - 110049 ( chek it on TI website... we r nt allowed to post fone no. over here)...dis one is an authorised dealer for TI.
BAII plus wud be fine...u need nt buy the professional version

hope that helps..

Guys,

can you pls comment: will 2 month prep be sufficient for CFA level 1 ?
I have cleared 3 ncfm certifications( financial mkts,capital mkrts, and derivatives mrkts) and am comfortable with stock markets. good at mathematics too.
Any comments- will all this be helpful for me to clear cfa level 1 in 2 months time ?

thnx

i dont think NCFM would be of any help for CFA-L1. to be very honest NCFM is a mockery in itself with repeated questions and the level no doubt is nothing compared to CFA . I myself have done derivative module of ncfm. It helped me in the extent that i know what is option, future , swaps etc. but that's it. there is lot more than that. btw i think this module would be a bit easier to handle if u have done ncfm in derivative as u would be knowing these terms in advance. however, it is still possible to do the cfa l1 if u start today but would be dfficult.Personal opinion though :).

Hi All......

I came across some doubts during the course of my study....Hope I could find answers to them thru this Forum......I will b appearing for June 2010 - Level-1....Completely relying on self-study, no coaching assistance.............
My doubts are as follows........

1.VOLUME 4 (CORPORATE FINANCE) - Pg 33 ...Ques 13.....Please tel me how to go about solvinsg this ques. One option is NPV Profiling but that is a time - consuming method ;moreover how to determine at wat all discount rates should NPV Profiling be done?

2.VOLUME 4 (CORPORATE FINANCE) - pg 57 - It is mentioned below the formula for sustainable growth rate that the ROE used is the Historical Return on Equity. However , just below that in the example of Citigroup Inc. the ROE used is 16.6(GOING FORWARD) rather than 20 (TRAILING). Why so??

3.VOLUME 4(CORPORATE FINANCE) - Pg 119 - In PANEL B: CALCULATION OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD , how are the collection days calculated? I could not make out , from where did those figures come?

I hope my doubts wil be solved at this forum.....:)
Thanks in adv....
