Hi ,

Can anyone tell where exactly laxmi copy centre is , i need the notes for CFA level1.

Hey Puys,
I have a question to all who are in the middle of their prep. I am right not throug wid FSA, Economics n middle in equities. I know I am too slow on this. But can anyone tell me that are coming two months enuf to study all sections n revising them considering I have around 8 hr. everyday from april.

@Tanika Nangia Video are for people who want to cover large portion in short time as its format is like coaching classes. in fact ppt material provided with vdo work as guide book as whole material are provided in very concentrated way.
i am also preparing with both thng and going with vdo help me lot
@vivek_aryantcs Laxmi copy centre is near mithibai college vileparle

@anopportunist even you have 5 hrs per day and if u can srsly devote that time in proper way, i hope u can easily cover all the material as it requires hardly total 250 hrs of total study

thanks bro .... will get the material asap and get started ! btw any idea how much of total time is required for level 1 .

My plans are :-
Appear for Dec'10 exam of CFA level 1
and then appear for June'11 exam of CFA level 2.

Is it achievable considering the fact i am working and can't devote more than 2 hrs per day and 5-10 hours on weekend ie. a total of 20 hours in a week.

no prblm bro
see i have given my cfa last december and hoping for june 10 to clear l2
For level 1 , 2 hr is sufficient but if u wann go for june 11 defenitely u have to start preparing after dec 11 before result. otherwise devote more time than 2 hrs per days as i am facing same situation and l2 is toughest level (heard frm snr):cheerio:/.

Hi ,

I have just checked the centres for December 2010 exam and none of the indian centres appear in the list while there are 4 to 5 indian cities listed in the June 2010 centre list.

last year same thng happened . but in september they have given option to change centre fom ur foreign location to India.
its due to legal battle going with ICFAI
so go for Nepal or any other centre.

Apart from Schweser what other materials can prove helpful for L1? Or are the notes enough ?

anyone one from pune can please suggest me some good tutions for cfa
please its a request.

thanks

hey ny clue how much time sufficient.. jus started with level 2 thing n have a 10 hour job Monday to Friday.. finding it difficult to plan.. suggestion plz

anybody over with Fixed Income? I have a doubt in the last reading (Valuation of MBS & ABS)....

Pg 513,514 from CFA book (FI, Vol.5) :

Why is effective duration shorter for senior tranches in a simple (i.e without a PAC tranche), sequential CMO structure ?

The general rule for duration states that 'longer the maturity, higher the duration' (because of obvious reasons).
So going by that logic, shouldn't the senior tranche have a higher duration because it has a comparatively longer life since the subordinate ones get absorbed first.

Therefore, if a simple structure has 3 tranches -A,B &C; shouldn't the duration increase as we move up the sequential CMO structure ?

The CFA book states otherwise....

Need more clarity on this...help needed ppl..

Got it solved on another thread.
I had assumed that in an ABC sequence tranche C gets paid first, then B & then A...had assumed the wrong sequence

Hi guys,
Taking the level 2 exam this year. I had a question regarding a corporate finance topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

In Schweser:
Corporate Finance > Capital Structure and Leverage (Study Session > Modigliani Miller Proposition 2 (No taxes)

The reading says, "we can see this by using the WACC formula and solving for cost of equity":

Re = WACC + (WACC - Rd)(Debt/Equity)

I feel like an idiot, but I can't wrap my head around the above algebra. How did they arrive at that formula for cost of equity?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
