CFA Level 1, June 2013

Whats the last date for registration for CFA Level 1??I plan to register for Jun'13 attempt

can someone tell me how much time does it typically take to prep for L1? I am currently in my last year at IIT and not sure if I should give it in July or Dec..because if I gave L1 in dec then giving L2 just with 5-6 months prep along with job could be difficult...I have done a basic course in financial management in which we studied using khan and jain if that makes it any easier

@Gumbo

Usually requires 2-3 hrs per day at least for 4-5 months. May differ person to person. Also L2 can be done in 5-6 months. So it's completely on you to decide.

@Gumbo

L1 will be cakewalk for you. L2 is a little more conceptual and also u need to apply knowledge across topics

@kushalagg suggest me any book for accounting...
try class 11 and 12 principles of basic accounting... I don't remember the name of the author.. but the name of the book is just that.. I'll check my store room, in case I find the book I'll PM you the details, in case I don't, I'll ask people and let you know in a days time.. for concepts, it is perfect.. it is the standard text book followed by almost all ISC board schools.. :)

on the ex-dividend date..would there be any change?
Stock prices usually rise when a company declares a dividend because investors are ready to pay a premium in order to receive the dividend.
However, after the ex dividend date, when the stocks do not carry the dividend, the prices go down by the amount of dividend, because that money has already been distributed to the public and is no longer with the company.
