Whether the battery lasts or not is a different question. The question is what if the battery dies ? Are you ready to spend another 6/12 months to preparing for exam just because you could not do pass because your calculator was dead!!? Nobody will be lending their calculator during exam for sure. For Level-1, people might still get through, but for other 2 it is impossible to clear without extensive use of calculator. I think its kind of insurance for your exam 🙂
Up5@MockTurtle, I have decided to print the books. It is costing me only 15% of the price I pay. It is difficult for me to read on screen.
Up5@sankrutimehta do you advice doing papers from 1999-2005? How much time did it take for you to do all mock exams and review them ?
Up5For Question-1, The growth rate(g) is RetentionRate multiplied with ROE [Not Divided by]
Yes, you are right. My question still stands. Aren’t we blending a market value measure with a book value measure?
I dont think we are mixing it, As per GGM if D1, g and K are known that is what the ideal price should be. (for a regular dividend paying company)
Up5@christine this question I have asked for Dec. 2013 exam…………
@CFAAspirant, If you are starting now, I dont think you have much time. Starting now I think Schweser is the best way to go. Have a solid Plan. understand concepts thoroughly. My understanding is level-1 is tested more on concepts than on calculations. In the last month. Solve all the mock papers from Schweser including the CFAI one. Solving helps only after you correct your mistakes after doing each paper. Otherwise it is waste of time. Better write a one liners of all mistakes of mock and revise it before a day or two. Keep last week for revision alone.Up5@AjFinance, that is an excellent way to solve that. I am not sure if we really have time to do that in exam
Up5@vincentt‌, what I meant is when you have a liability where you are paying at floating rate, and you are paying that liability from another floating rate bond which has a cap, there is a risk. Because the amount you are paying does not match the amount you receive when there is a cap.
I am not refering liability to any bond.
Up5I think they might club into Performance Evaluation.
Up5@vincentt‌ , I am also planning to do around 6-7, but want to do more of individal portfolio management if there is time. I am failing pretty bad in calculating return requirements. missing few terms like pretax, after tax , to calculate for how many years, whether expenses are last year or current year. every time :(. Terminilogy very confusing.
From the papers done so far, I realized that most of the percentage of mistakes are the ones I already know. Because of hurry missed few keywords. Need to be more careful on that
Up5even 2009 papers are available just google for it. Not sure if we will find time to do them though 😉
Up5@alta12,@vincentt
I have just read in text book.To avoid probate we can use – insurance, trust, partnership in firm, retirement plans.
To avoid forced hiership we can use – insurance, gifts during lifetime, purchasing assets in country where this rule does not apply.
So gifts can’t be challenged by forced hiership rule. Only probate can.
