Some time over the course of studying Level III we discovered that if you are looking at a thread, in the web address you will see the word ‘read’. If you go to the same web address, but change the word ‘read’ to ‘follow’ it will follow the threads for you at ‘Show Followed Threads’ in ‘My Control Panel’. With that out of the way, I followed a number of threads leading up to Level III this year and wanted to share them with any new Level III Candidates or anyone that will be repeating next year. Here they are with the topics that they cover: Asset Manager Code: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,728074 Equitizing a Market-Neutral Long-Short Portfolio: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,896127 Black-Litterman Model: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,898620 Roll Return due to Backwardation: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,900049 Immunization & Dollar Duration: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,904126 Reprurchase Agreements: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,905894 Minimum-Variance Hedge Ratio: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,906037 Life Insurance / Volatility of Earnings: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,901274 Fiscal / Monetary Policy effect Yiled Curve Shape: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,929476 Roll Yield: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,928408 Tax Alpha: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,930035 Duration: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,926751 Asset Manager Code v.

Good luck with Level III in 2010.
This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you very much! 
You are one giving dude, Bankin’. It’s nice to see that these days, particularly when you read some of the stuff in the GD section. I was a sporadic participant here, but benefited greatly from your contributions as well as those of several others. Thanks and best of luck going forward.
I appreciate your praise, but it is undeserved. I’ve taken much more from AF than I have given. Good luck to you as well and congratulations on the Pass!
All I need to do now is follow this thread … thanks a ton !
Bankin’, drinks are on me buddy.
Awesome. This is going to my favorites.
yeah this is pretty sick bankin’. i think chad should make this thread a sticky for the L3 forum.
Bankin’. Thanks a ton for putting that together. I got an email sent from on of your fellow L3 passers that said this is the most important thread put together for starting the L3 run for 2010. Thanks for posting that up, good luck, and congrats on passing L3.
Thanks buddy…I will definitely be referencing this in the near future Best, TheChad
thanks a billion.
thanks
can someone please help me?!? I don’t see the link to “follow this thread”, how do I do this?
just change the word “read” to “follow” in the thread names above (or any other thread you want to follow).
Thanks mwvt9, but I am still lost. I am obviouly technically challenged or blind. I do not see the “read” button. When I click on the thread I see a list across the top that has “forum list”, “message list”, “new topic”, “search”, “mark thread read”, “log out”; then at the bottom of initial post there’s “reply to message”. “quote message”, “report message”. I tried clicking on “mark thread read” but nothing changed. Can you please tell me exactly where this “read/follow” button is? Thanks again for your help.
There is no button, you manually change it in the address. Notice the difference: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?13,1048597 http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/follow.php?13,1048597
Got it! Thanks so much
Altough, I was the one who ask for that question back in January and someone else was able to help us, i am very sad, angry, discourage that I will be here for one more here after getting a band 10. suck! I hate CFAI and I rally do :(-
this is ish!
Tibwa, You are one of my favorite personalities and deserved to pass as much as anyone on this board. I’m sure you’ll kill it next year, but I am so sorry that you’ll have to be at it again next year.
