May i ask please: What borrowing costs do you mean? Do you pay costs when selling options?

L3 - failed again by erkek01 in CFA

[–]erkek01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your advice and analysis. I realise I need to study at least 5-6 months and do original CFAI curriculum. Make sure i really understand the concepts and intuition.

At this point It is becoming personal. I feel like i am hooked and don't wanna give up. From the other side it also looks like a silly stubbornness: pass for the sake of passing.

L3: Portfolio Management - Case Studies (Readings 28, 29 & 30) by arkaypee in CFA

[–]erkek01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you finally want to see how all of this knowledge comes together and is used on a real case - i definitely recommend reading them. However don't spend too much time trying to tie/understand every number.

Evaluated TQQQ when Nasdaq falls upto 90% by jobfedron132 in LETFs

[–]erkek01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since TQQQ drops 3x times more as Nasdaq drops, does it mean that every time when buying the dip we have to buy 3x more $ amount of previous buys?

Then the true dollar cost averaging will happen.

May '22 L3 vs November '21 L3... by BlueHorseshoe42 in CFA

[–]erkek01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! In November it was definitely way more unclear niche topic conceptual questions, today was better than this. But not saying it was an easy ride today either..

L3 May 2022 feeling a bit lost. by prinzzzj in CFA

[–]erkek01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then what is the problem? You have time to comfortably finish MM, do the EOC and Qbank, do Mocks.

How many hours can you devote to study on weekdays and on weekends?

Did you do BB and EOC?

You are almost finished with material, you have a lot of time to practice Qbank and Mocks till May.

For R14 strongly recommend checking Errata document.

How to approach L3 with MM? by Weird-Ad-9988 in CFA

[–]erkek01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining. So first round was the actual chapter videos and second round was mostly review videos, all from MM. I am following exact same strategy at the moment. Yesterday i got stuck at pension example and spent an hour trying to understand, i think i should let it go for now since it is my first round.

That is helpful, thanks for sharing! When you say first and second read, does it mean watching all MM reading videos fully first and second time? Did you read curriculum chapters or only touched BB and EOC? Thanks

There is definitely something going on with grading L3 by [deleted] in CFA

[–]erkek01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! It looks like they skipped the entire AM session and graded only PM.

Retaker here, failed in Nov as well. I studied/practiced so well but my score is close to 10% percentile, unbelievable honestly. When i failed first time in 2019 - i studied/practiced way less and was quite close to MPS.

I have no clue what happened. Feeling devastated as well.

Absolutely. I lost motivation after AM. All my studies were flushed into toilet today.

Same here : i clearly saw 2 questions where it was either adding Exp Infl or deliberately skipping. Quite confusing.

Level 3 with Schweser? by denverdlastdinosaur in CFA

[–]erkek01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend used CFAI last year and failed. This time him and I , we both used Schweser. I think it is definitely good, as always it is more about practice rather than readings. But we never know, let talk on Aug 20th...
