Any body registered for the Preview Lecture in Singapore by Peter Olinto (Stalla)? I am going tomorrow, curios to listen to his live workshop on FRA. Also understand that Stalla’s lecturer CDs are not ready yet.
If interested, pls note the address: The workshop is at MAS Theatrette, Level 16 MAS Building, 10 Shenton Way, Singapore. Registration starts at 6.30pm tomorrow. c u there
Give Peter Olinto a high five for me.
Ask him about tackling P. Diddy
So how was it? Would you go with Stalla after sitting in on his lecture?
The lecture was great. Peter is impressive! Only thing, I have already bought Schweser’s premium package, which includes everything and lecture CDs too. Though they have not delivered their lecture CDs yet. Once I get them, I could compare Peter’s lecture with Schweser CDs and give you my feedback.
follow the lecture of peter olinto and schweser pales in comparison. it is a bunch of folks who read slides in Schweser…
I saw a friend’s Schweser videos when she was preparing for L2 last year. I didn’t pay much attention because I was busy with L1, but yeah, it indeed looked like they were just reading the slides in those videos. I’m still considering whether to get Schweser or Stalla for L2. I went with Schweser (just the notes and QBank, no videos) for L1 and I think they’re fantastic–those countless hours doing QBank over and over again paid off well (got > 70% in all sections). cpk123 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > follow the lecture of peter olinto and schweser > pales in comparison. > > it is a bunch of folks who read slides in > Schweser…

As rus1bus said, Peter Olinto’s lecturers are impressive. One point to note is that Peter Olinto is not lecturing all the study sessions for L2, according to what he told me yesterday that only 10/11 CDs out of 16 CDS. Rest 5/6 CDs are lectured by David, which I don’t think will be much energetic as Peter Olinto. I’m also in the same boat as rus1bus, already bought Schweser’s premium plus package. Will see after getting the Schweser CDs (probably next week)!!

I liked the other Stalla person David Harrington or something.
yes, he repeats himself. but he does that in real life as well. multiple times, in fact. that is his style. however - it is a matter of personal preference. He repeats himself, to drive a point. David Hetherington’s style is to explain stuff. then put a NO Excuses! on the top of the slide… to say you need to know this inside out. Both of them are effective in that they manage to convey what is really important. Schweser folks are reading a slide, monotonously, no writing, no highlighting, nothing. I have never seen someone who is trying to teach you something, but does not write anything to drive home a point. In my personal opinion, I don’t need someone to be paid to read me a slide… without adding any extra flavor / value other than what’s written there.
