CFA Level 1, June 2013

How are laukik shah classes , anyone one attended can give inputs for the same Level 1

@mrinalkvbr I just bought the books from Laxmi yesterday @Vile Parle even though the books are for December 2012 it doesn't matter you can get started on reading as most of the portion has not changed. Also new books will be available @ Laxmi after the 15th of December which imo is too late to start if you're going to be doing your MBA at the same time.. Anyway if you want the number for Laxmi - 09892972395, he will courier to your location. :)
@procrastinator1 Thanks dude, How is the quality of the materials ? I was thinking of buying from Om photocopy
@gauravknewton Hi..1st of all you should register for cfa because after 2nd deadline the fee will be $ 1,545 approx, you should start your preparation so that you can complete the syllabus 1 month prior to your exam & in last month you should practice with atleast 2000 questions.
We are a group of finance professionals with over 3-5 years of experience. Though some of us have been blogging for the last few years, we are now planning to start a collaborative blog on topics related to stock ideas, macroeconomic trends, and investment opinions on various asset classes. A collaborative blog would help us have more frequent posts leading to higher reader interest and hence increased interactivity. We welcome all Puys who can develop an investment thesis and articulate their views and opinions. We will be glad to share some sample articles that we have written.

@mrinalkvbr Laxmi Courier is good. I can tell that from personal experience.

I started with Economics(the toughest it seems). . it was really boring and vast. . .so switched to quantitative analysis which was a lot easier for me. . now i am in dilemma whether to go for CFA (which is lengthy) or FRM (which seems easier for me as of now). . .but talking about the job opportunity and recognition,CFA or FRM??? Help me out guys

I have soft copies of material for Level 1 exams... Will those be enough for preparation???

@mrinalkvbr Hey, sorry for the late reply. Quality of books is really good, though they are spiral-bound.. No printing errors or anything negative as far as I've seen.
Anyone plannin to join Pristine (Delhi) 18th Nov'12 batch for CFA level 1 (June 13)...then let me know..There is a group discount 10% for 3 candidates and 20% for 5 candidates..

Depends - Which area of IB?
@leolazer Front End IB

I hold technical expertise in IB but want to switch my role towards BA. Will CFA be useful?

No, CFA will not be of much help unless you target a combination of desk and research.

Network, Confidence and Contacts > Top tier B School > CFA > Nothing at all
