LOL

Second to the last one is our sink story, and the last one is the fake followup story, they still posted it haha

some of them are pretty funny, a couple sound fake though

#2

Thanks for the laughs, could use some today.

#3

I still laugh every time I read that.

#4

LOL, story about qqqbee didn’t make it :frowning:

#5

lol saw that. I thought they were quoting some of you guys initially but the link is ~2011. pretty cool nonetheless.

#6

The story about the driver’s license is BS.

#7

^ You clearly haven’t read the threads here in the week leading up to the exam. “Will they take my Indian passport that doesn’t have my name on it?”

#8

^ no clue what you are referring to. Although I wouldn’t be surprised. A lot of smart people lack common sense.

#9

As a wiseman once told me common sense isn’t too common.

#10

The sink story is legendary.

Best 2 posts ever on AF and one of the funniest things I have ever read in a forum.

#11

Terminator is still my favourite AF post

#12

I think I was googling CFA stories after passing all 3 exams, read the sink story, and that’s how I found out about analyst forum.

#13

I have always suspected that someone or multiple people on AF are spies/narks for the media or for CFAI. This article further reinforces my theory. It could be anyone, but if I had to guess, I would say it’s edupristine or cpk.

#14

^ I don’t think it’s a secret that CFAI has spies here. I would claim that I’m not one of them, but that would make people suspect me.

#15

of course, considering CFAI has literally cited AF in at least a couple of their Code of Conduct violations

#16

You dont’ even need a login to spy on people here.

#17

I think the question is not whether there are spies, but who is the spy. mk17, you are trying to deflect the suspicion to the public? This is quite suspicious…

#18

I think the “Islamic Finance” thread in the “CFA general section” is/will surely attracting/attract investigation by some outside stimulus.

#19

Terminator was not OC. It is from craigslist back in 2004 or something.

#20

I’d go one step further, the spy could be using multiple handles.
