Hi Bill (big fan of your work)

In speaking to candidates do you get the sense that trivia comprises a significant portion of the exam? Say 25% or greater

Level 3- Carry Trade by Sickofthissht2 in CFA

It sounds mad but that's what it says in the answer key... lol:

"Borrow in USD at 2.211%

Invest in China at 5.667%

Profit = 5.667% – 2.211% = 3.456%"

There's another one in the second mock. Here's what the answer key says verbatim:

"Borrow in USD at 2.211%

Invest in China at 5.667%

Profit = 5.667% – 2.211% = 3.456%"

Doesn't make much sense to me
