Anyone know where I can get the BA II pro calculator?

I hate the normal version as the keys are not sensitive enough as I am used to Casio

Thanks

to all L2 passer, should i skip fixed income? I couldnt understand a shit from this topic... I find it hard to digest compared to others. A lot of alien words to me, Im done reading the rest, left fixed income.

Normally the part at the back is the confusing ones (i.e. ABS, MBS). Are these the ones? Fixed Income is normally 5-15%. If you score <50% for FI you will have to make it up in the other sections.

check out Times Bookstore@ Pavilion

I wont find it confusing, is just that, the reading is difficult to understand properly ( maybe is a new thing to me). i can do the calculation part, but not the theory. I find it the LOS for fixed income mostly involves explain/describe/compare, very little on calculate. Hmmm... Maybe i should focus more on the notes instead of reading the textbook.

So, so long you could cover other sections (Equity + FRA for instance , these are the heavy weight) it is ok/viable to ignore one of the topic, say fixed income or econs.

The texas instrument ba 2 pro is that more sensitive than normal texas instrumrent ba 2. now I using the texas instrument ba 2 not too sensitive.

Not to say totally ignore. Maybe at least score that 40-50% of the topic.

Hi there, can u pm as well ? Thanks

Did any members go for the CFA Society Malaysia gathering last weekend? I was away outstation so had to miss it...

Hi to all seniors.
I am so surprise that lowyat forum has various discussion on education and especially in CFA topic which it bothering me much recently.

I am an Accounting & Finance student from UCSI, currently doing my internship in an accounting firm. Two option i have to choose now after my consideration.

1 ) Work in an accounting firm to perform general accounting job as in AP or AR which i think won't bother me much and give me a stressfree environment to concentrate in CFA. (Even just level 1)

2 ) Work in Finance field right after my graduation as Finance field is my aim for life career, without taking CFA to avoid that I can't handle a studyworking life well and causes collapse on both.

Besides, " is it recommended for a fresh graduate to take CFA before having a career related to finance? "
I hope anyone can help me figure out and point a right path for me.

anyone cfa certified here?
pls share soem tips on the exam

My advice is if you can get into a related job, do that first. You can decide whether you want to do the program or not later.

You sound like a Level 1 candidate? By now you should have finished studying. Do your mock exam, work on your weaker areas.

My advice is not to skip fixed income, reason being, fixed income is one of the largest topics in CFA's exam, on top of that, you'll see it again in L3.

Try reading it over again if it helps, otherwise hit the practice questions to get a better understanding. If you think fixed income is confusing, derivatives will be even worse So don't skip it, don't give up.

Kasturi College sells them for approx. RM 100 for the set of Schweser Notes. Not sure about Noesis.
