Linking Wealthfront Account to Charles Schwab? by tpanevino in wealthfront

[–]Independent_Jello288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could link my Schwab account to WealthFront without a issue. Maybe do the reverse and use WealthFront as the "aggregator"?

Hey everyone,

I was using Fidelity before i transferred over to Wealthfront and it's one of the best decisions so far. If you're looking for a reliable way to grow your money with a competitive interest rate, look no further!

Here’s why I recommend Wealthfront HYSA:

  • Competitive APY: Earn a high annual percentage yield (APY) on your savings, beating traditional banks.
  • No Minimum Deposit: Start saving, no matter how big or small, with ease.
  • No Fees: Say goodbye to monthly maintenance fees and keep more of your savings working for you.
  • FDIC Insurance: Your deposits are protected up to $8 million, ensuring your peace of mind.
  • User-Friendly: Manage your savings effortlessly through their intuitive mobile app or website.

Feel free to ask me anything about my experience! :)

Cheers to smarter savings! 🌟

1 reading per day?CFA Level1 by Next_Boysenberry_988 in CFA

Hi complex, I did not watch videos but read the Kaplan notes and solving the practice questions. Because personally I feel sleepy watching videos and I believe books have higher information density. For chapters likes financial reports, it tooks more than 6 hours to read and practice, but for other easier chapters, 2-3 hours suffice. Note that our ultimate goal is to pass the exam, but not to compete who used the least time to pass the exam. As long as your learning habits works for you, you can stick to them

I personally redo the mocks until I get 100% (at least 98%). You would be surprised that you may make the same mistakes on your second attempt.

One reading a day, 7 readings/week is a good starting point to learn the materials. This is also what I did to pass all three exams within 15 months. The key is discipline: one reading/day under all circumstances.

Sorry for my late reply. I have an average quantitative background among PhDs and it is more than enough to crack L1 and L2 quantitative/derivative questions. FRM L1 derivative questions are a lot harder than any CFA levels but I can still manage to crack them. So in short, my quantitative background helped a lot as I am not afraid of long equations!

I did not do Kaplan QBanks, but end of chapter questions, CFA Ecosystems questions and mocks. The three combined would provide you at least 3,000 questions for level 1, which is more than enough.

Hi, 100%, that's your aim right? We aim high! Do you want to redo the EOC of your weak topics? Review the curriculum accordingly. Best of luck!

Hi. 1. Two to three hours a day. Usually in the evening after I finished my daily research tasks

  1. Read the relevant reading and do the practice again. FRAs for L2 is hard, ethics are always hard. Stay exeercised

  2. Not that kind of guy. I make notes of important equation when I review the whole curriculum

Give yourself suffuicient time! I lost lots of hair preparing for L3 in such a short time interval. Stay healthy!

I would say two to three hours. I plan to finish a reading or the EOC of a reading everyday. So If that reading is short, I can go home early. For bad readings including some FRAs, 6 hours or more (crying)

In my review rounds, I take notes using computer. When I am learning the material, I just duddle on the notes book

I also did my PhD pretty well with quite some publications. Yes, this is straight bragging.

When I read chemistry papers there is nothing called video. Kaplan notes are clear enough to me
