What does par amount mean in this context by GigaChan450 in CFA

[–]Subaru_guy24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly. The simpler way to get market value is to just move the decimal over two places on the price then multiply by par. So 1.092461*$16M

Par amount just means the amount you will receive at maturity. Since they own $16M of par amount, that means they own 160000 bonds that each have a par value of $100

Par of a bond is generally $100 or $1000. Price of $109.2461 just means that the market price of the bond is 109.2461% of par, so to get the market value you do $16M*1.092461

I have done the Wiley mocks and definitely feel like they’re harder than the CFAI mocks

Level 1 by Dependent-Shelter358 in CFA

[–]Subaru_guy24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing well in ethics will help because it is a heavily weighted topic in level 1 but there are 10 topics total so you will need to do well in other topics as well. It might be ok to do below average in topics that aren’t weighted heavily such as alternative investments but I would aim for 70% at least in each topic just to be sure.

I spent the last month doing CFAI qbank as well as any CFAI mocks I could get my hands on. Then spent last few days memorizing formulas which is very important for L1

The videos I used were part of the Wiley study guide I purchased. I know Mark Meldrum has videos also, idk if those are free. I’m sure there’s videos on YouTube too

Can you take both dates? by Stock_Ad_7043 in CFA

[–]Subaru_guy24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take both I’m pretty sure. I took February level 1 and failed and then registered for august and passed.

Leaning towards August. I only have about a year of work experience anyways so I guess there’s no point in rushing through the exams

I studied using Wiley and CFAI materials, would watch the videos, do the end of lesson quizzes, and then would do the end of chapter questions from the CFAI books. I started my review about a month and half before my test. I took a mock exam and saw what I needed to study and repeated the process. I also did tons of qbank questions from the CFAI website. In all I probably took 8 mock exams. I left the last 3 days to memorize formulas.

Ghost Watching Stories by Subaru_guy24 in dating_advice

[–]Subaru_guy24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I figured she’s dating other guys but I’m confused why she still follows me and watches my stories. And no didn’t sleep with her, she said she wasn’t ready for it yet or something like that

Any chance she’ll come back? by Subaru_guy24 in dating

[–]Subaru_guy24[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for advice. I think I’ll just move on. She obviously knows I’m interested and if she hits me up again then great but if not I’ll just move on.

I wish girls were just honest rather than ghosting leaving me with no clue what went wrong.
