portfolio management is also making me want to cry.
i have just started session 6. the problem is that i have so little interest my brain absolutely refuses to remember a single thing!!! Intercorporate Investments will probably take me longer that the whole Fixed Income section
That’s awesome, Kedgar! I’ll give email, but can you just post the excel file in the thread?
could you upload that file to mediafire for example? This way you won’t have to send the file to anyone asking + it’s free.
Intercorporate investments makes my eyes bleed. I’m counting on John Harris for this one. Pension accounting is straightforward and pretty easy, but good lord is IC inv. hard. I’m guessing multinational ops. is even harder. If there is any tips anyone has on those two I’d love to hear it.
FRA is a major section and one could expect couple of item sets from it. I am reading a chunk of it daily. Like I spend 30 minutes over it especially on Study Session 6. Finquiz notes, which I am using, have summed up the study session on 18 pages which effectively make 36 sides. Daily I take a ‘dose’ of it and I think before my mock I would have gone through it plenty of times and day by day it is becoming easier for me to recall the US GAAP vs IFRS things and other detailed stuff. I think you should try FQ especially when they are offering SS 6 for free!
where is the SS6 for free on finquiz? i do not see on site
You will have to register and provide your email to access the SS6 stuff.
Am i the only person who thinks Jonathan Bone on the scheser vids on ss6 rocks! watching him before going thru the material makes the material more accessible.
place your cursor on Sign in and click “new user” give your mail ID and enter to access ss6.
please send me frank_z_j@hotmail.com, thanks BTW, Jonathan Bone, the British guy? He does not explain things well. I like Andrew Holmes, will register Harrison’s class in April, $495, that’s a lot of money.
Jonathan Bone is terrible. Every other word is “Clearly” or “Of Course.” Maybe I was spoiled with Peter Olinto back with Stalla level I.
After the monotony of accouting I’m actually “excited” to be reading corporate finance now.
Peter was the man and Stalla was much better than Schweser. Also, defined benefit pensions should be outlawed so no one ever needs to learn how to account for it again.
I watched Jon Bone’s videos and thought they were decent.
He’s covered the concepts better than in the Schweser notes for SS6. I felt the Intercorporate Investments reading was tougher than the other two.
I think the accent actually ends up being a distraction taking away from the presentation. When you get comfortable with a style, you find it hard to switch gears…
It may come as a shock to you, but there are also people outside America that watch these videos.
