love long straddles sponge… you volatile yellow holey (not holy, nice try babe) cartoon that lives on the bottom of the ocean, you. who else got dinged and has to put up with me for a year? i hope nobody and all my homies are homies, CFA now.
wow, I can’t believe some of the names that didn’t pass. I was sure mumu and n.vancandidate would have passed. if you didn’t pass I knew there was no hope for me. I have no doubt you’ll pass next year. I’ve been a long time lurker, but learned a lot from you guys. i hope to contribute more next year.

Congrats mwvt9! You guys are all done! I’ll post using this one.
There it is!
lol feels like a reunion! For thos that past level 3, congratulations! It is truely an accomplishment! I’m sorry to see some of the people I knew from level 2 last year did not make it past level 3 this year but hopefully 2010 we will all get our charters together! I look forward to reviewing for the level 3 exam with you all
wow …all those words of encouragement got me thinking there for a while…and honestly I would retake this thing …just because it’s so much fun being on this bloody forum and listening to you guys…!!! BUT…I really don’t see myself taking it next year… this is not a “i’m-in-denial” decision that i took after seeing my result…this was something I had thought about all the while when studying/taking the exam/and walking out of the exam door…which is why I had put in my heart and soul…knowing I DID not and WOULD Not take it again… too bad luck wasn’t on my side… NVan / Sponge …really surprised to see you guys here tooo…but sponge…i’m SORTA going to be in a similar situation…I’m gonna be an aunt!!..my brother’s having his first baby in late dec/early jan…so focusing on studying is going to be tough cause i’m gonna be with the baby a loootttt! anyway…time will tell…i’ll be around … one way or the other

mumu, unacceptable. the little baby is going to think that his/her aunt is WAY cooler with a mumu, CFA title. giddy up and let’s go girl.
yup, I became a daddy a month before I wrote level 2 exam this june…you could imagine how hard it was BUT when you do pass its 1000 times sweeter because you get to spend your exam celebrations with the baby and you passed! So mumu give it another go, you are so close and if you decided not to take the charter after failing a level 1 exam then I’d say go for it because you didn’t really get started… BUT your at level 3, you are so close to making it that if you decide not to write the exam and finish the charter then your level 1 and level 2 exams would have all been wasted for nothing and not only that thats at least 1.5 years of hard studying for nothing (6 months for level 1 and 6 months for level 2 and 6 months for level 3) Besides 2010 will be different because we will all be here too! So lets give it a go and go for the gold signed, CFA Charters of 2010
Ankitadev - looks like you bombed AM part big time due to IPS like me! What a total pain!

L3 for 2010 Dinesh, I am glad to see you are here on L3, I would have much prefered to be a non writing participant but looks like I am going to do to L3 what I did to L2 the second time aorund: Murder it and get over 70% on everything…
Band 10 here too
to all band 10’s, studying next year should be a breeze. maybe just start in April…i think you need to finish it even just for completion’s sake. Mumu, I’m sorry that you were so close.
bannisja, dinesh, mumu, mwvt, sponge, nvan, marat and I all back together again in the same thread. I never thought I’d see the day. It’s great to have this mini reunion, although I wish the circumstances could be great for all parties. Dinesh, I really miss those study late night sessions in NYC man, those were the highlight of my CFA prep career. I keep hoping someday I’ll get a job up there so we can kick it old school. It’s a shame Jalmy never came back.
