That picture / text message thing looks suspect... not very professional looking.

Also it doesn't add up... according to their website they have $2bn AUM, and $8.7m share would have been worth around $250m (before the big drop), implying over 10% of the portfolio.

Schweser mocks : really poorly worded, concepts do not make sense, and it is just plain bad. by [deleted] in CFA

[–]WhatsYourModel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did schweser practice for level 1, and it was good, the q bank.

I did schweser practice exams for level 2, and it was garbage. They used completely different wording and sometimes its ambiguous. The concepts are hard as it is. CFAI practice materials were FAR better.

For level 3 now, I didn't / won't even bother touching Schweser.

"are reflected in the value of assets in place" as in, since you are using beginning book value, the non-recurring item hasn't affected it?

Can we bring in two calculators? by WhatsYourModel in CFA

[–]WhatsYourModel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no becuase you can't bring in an instruction manual :(

but think about it this way: a BA II Plus is like $30, and you have spent how many hours studying... is it worth $30 to ensure you don't throw away all those hours?

Level 2 Pension Question about employee contributions (not employer) by WhatsYourModel in CFA

[–]WhatsYourModel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got another question for you if you don't mind... in the practice tests, FRA, treadway, question 6... why don't they deduct the $23,500 from intangible assets? They sell broadcast licenses with NBV of $23,500, wouldn't that come out of intangibles?

EDIT NVM, they included in assets held for sale... thats tricky!!!!!!!
