Not very far into my L2 Preparation, but figured now’s a good time to hear everyone’s favorite and least favorite readings/topics/SS’s. Great opportunity to vent and see that you’re not alone out there! Mine: Favorite: Econ / currencies - hard as all get out, but something I’ve always wondered about. Going to end up rereading this section near the end I’m afraid. Least Favorite: Quant / Multiple Regression. Ugh. “Please regress the coefficient of the heteroskedasticity’s regressive estimate using collinearity’s big brother, multicollinearity in an equation with the format Y bar = X hat - X bar + you are going to get this wrong + stop trying.” Uhm, ok. /cries What about you guys?
Favorites: FRA, Equity, Derivatives and PM Least Favorite: CF, Econ, Quant
Favourite: Corp finanace Least :Quant-Ecn-der
Favorite (or shall I say favourite) so far: Econs, FSA, Corp Finance. Least : Quant (although I skipped it & will go back later. I just dislike that section…, makes my brain hurt. Sucks dude). I’ll go back to Quant last dude…, no need for me wasting days upon days on that section. I’m in Equity right now…, so far so good. Seems all you guys put Quant as your least as well. WTF? Who’s going to help us all with questions now?? haha!
I found Schweser video for Quant specially nice. Instructor puts in his nice perspective to those seemingly abstract things. I watched it after completing my reading, so I already knew to an extent what he was taking about. I found their video on FSA quite flat though.
I have the Schweser Videos as well. I’ve only been able to watch Econs though. I’ll see if it’ll help with Quant.
…I cringe at the thought of triangular currency arbitrage, pension accounting, and those darn binomial trees. Those @#%$ binomial trees are not easy and they freak me out everytime I see one. This retaker over came his fears of Quant with the schweser videos.
if you have access to David Hetherington’s videos from Stalla - they are damn good. book also is not bad. explains it nicely. Schweser notes too were pretty good. post a question and we can work it out together. if you want send me the question to cpkrish123@gmail and I can try to work it with you “round 2”
I’m going to need to take you up on that offer cp.
