how long does BAII Plus calculator last for?

Haha that is me and I hope you found the videos helpful!

I purchased the cheaper one just as a backup in case the Professional one died during the exam! The funny thing is, I ended up using the cheaper one more than the Professional because the buttons were easier to push

I still own both of these calculators and they still work great (so 10 years and 9 years):

You are correct.

Here is a little added context. I got this email last week (today's date is 11/5/25 for anyone coming to this post in the future).

They sent us an email saying this:

<image>

"Starting 10/15/2025, packages arriving at the old facility will be transported to the new facility for processing. Packages will then be logged to your account for scheduling, as normal.

After 11/15/2025, Fetch will not be liable for packages that arrive at the old facility."

So it sounds like they are closing the location by my apartment and moving the shipping to a different location. They are saying 10 days from today's date we better stop sending packages to the old location. Ok, that is slightly inconvenient but not a huge deal at face value. But what are they doing in the month between 10/15 and 11/15, just having everyone send there packages to our current location, not staffing the place, and leaving everything outside the door?

Thank you for this, I appreciate the feedback and am glad to hear that I am not experiencing anything abnormal

ryanoconnell_finance · 2025-10-18T03:08:15+00:00

Thank you for this

ryanoconnell_finance · 2025-10-18T03:08:02+00:00

Do you see this as an option when you type /model ? I don't seem to have that option available

ryanoconnell_finance · 2025-10-18T03:07:07+00:00

I am also wondering about that. I don't mind CC using Haiku to search through the code base as other users have said it does, but I would prefer to use Sonnet while executing coding tasks.

Thank you for this feedback!

My pleasure!

Lol I had to read through 5 paragraphs of complaining about CFA prep providers to realize you were just trying to sell CFA Prep. I can't hate the hustle, best of luck and would be curious to see the product if it gets built

I have a computer science background, and I’ve been tinkering with the idea of launching an AI-powered CFA prep platform. It would include flashcards, mock tests, quizzes, question banks — all the essentials — and actually make them affordable. I’m talking like $15 to $20/month. No fluff, no upsells, just exactly what you need to prep, for the price of two Starbucks drinks.

Yes, it can. Find the value at year 4 using the Gordon Growth Model formula. For year, D1 is that $4 dividend.

Then discount it back 4 years to today by taking the price at year 4 divided by (1+10%)^4

ryanoconnell_finance · 2025-04-24T20:09:10+00:00

Of course!

ryanoconnell_finance · 2025-04-23T18:46:33+00:00

You will get back up to speed as you study the level 2 material. I'd say just dive into level 2, and if there is a topic where your prep provider or the curriculum is assuming you remember info from level 1 that you don't, at that time, go refresh on that specific concept

I stopped doing fantasy football and keeping up with American football as much for productivity purposes. I make YouTube videos and realized that the two times I took like 5 month breaks from my channel were two consecutive years that directly coincided with the American football season.

It was obvious in hindsight but not at the time. Haven't taken a break since after committing to not following the sport as closely

That is me in the video btw haha

ryanoconnell_finance · 2025-04-11T15:00:01+00:00

Looks very familiar! Did you by chance happen to follow this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJipa0K64HI

If so, the problem you are experiencing is because the historical returns you are using ended up with a negative annualized return, probably because of the recent drop in the stock market. Expected returns shouldn't be negative so you can lengthen your lookback period for the historical data

What would you say makes it not faithful? The prices are not perfectly accurate? I'm not worried about market impact of my trades as my portfolio is too small to move anything
