      Holding period return is:

      Profit / Capital

      Profit per share = $50 – $40 = $10

      Capital per share = $40 * 60% initial margin = $24

      Holding period return = 10 / 24 = 41.7%

      The investor is investing with a margin account, which means they’re only putting up 60% of the capital, hence $40 * 60%.

        Am doing CFAI and MM as well for feb. I’m going to start with CFAI first for one reading, then do MM, and see if that order works. Might be better the other way round but no way to tell until I start.

        MM also allows 1.5x and 2x viewing so that could help speed through the videos.

        I’m planning to prioritize CFAI bluebox and practice questions before MM, but save the mock exams for just before feb.
