Applying Level I Knowledge

CFA Level I
#1

Hi,

As I am appearing for Level II in June 2012, I am maintaining an online diary for Level II in the form of a blog. Since many candidates who appeared in Level I this December are free now a days, atleast for the time they used to take out for studying the intensive course, I decided a few days back to post news items, articles and other interesting happenigns in the world related to what you people have been studying in Level I. I have so far shared 2 posts related to Fixed Income. it would give you an opportunity to apply your knowledge and create a bridge in what you’ve been studying, I was studyign along with what that is happening in the world. For those who are planning to appear in Level II after clearing Level I, this could be advantageous in a way that it would not only keep their itnerest in these topics but also strenghten their concepts and build their practical understanding which I believe is inevitable for Level II. I hope you’ll get benefit from this effort.
