@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. :)

@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 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.

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
