        In my 1000 or so hours of studying CFA material, I have encountered many topics that are a complete waste of my time. However, I am very close to nominating Implementation Shortfall as the most useless part of the entire CFA curriculum. Mercifully, I think that it is only a Level 3 thing.

        Anyone else have a suggestion?
