CFA

Equals a disastrous week for L2 studying. God damn it. As if there isn’t enough porn to go around on the Net, now I gotta get a handle on jacking off to Tiger’s putting. Just saying… Continue reading

Hello everyone, I had a question for those who know anything about working at a university investment office, investing with the school endowments.

I was offered an interview as an investment analyst and do not know what to expect from the 

basic finance and other problem solving exam that I need to take as a requirement of the interview process.

It also includes some basic Excel problems, but I don’t to what extent.. 

Can anyone give some possible suggestions? Continue reading

Many thanks for any suggestions.  Continue reading

I’d like to get an advice from from the board members here. I’m a level 1 candidate. I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to do CFA and CMT at the same time.

Basically, I have no work experience in finance field except for managing my own account. I’d be willing to go back to school for MBA (if i can get into a good school or if not will do MSF).

I’m concerned because Scottrade is a discount broker as opposed to a  full service broker and clients are mainly self directed. Has anyone here worked at a discount broker, and did it count towards your 4 years of qualified work experience?

This same question has been asked a couple times before, with the response being “probably”, but there was never a definitive answer. Continue reading
