I spent all of yesterday nursing a hangover on my couch. I watched Snakes On A Plane and the Muirfield golf tourney. It was awesome to do absolutely nothing yesterday.

lol....I have peeped into Level 2, I have collected soft copies of the Schweser 2009 study notes. Every weekday, my study timetable is 6.00pm to 9.00pm at the office. I want to keep to that until April 2010. (!)

I just spent the last 30 minutes explaining the differences between the CFP and CFA to a coworker. "I heard the Series 7 is harder than the CFA" Yeah...umm...not even close.

I played soccer with a hangover on Sunday... that was interesting.

Then I ate one hell of a big steak afterwards.

@cowtown, what's CAIA all about? is it pretty much exclusive to hedge fund industry, is there that much additional benefit with having CFA and CAI?

thanks, john

This is a hot topic on AF, and I have my own opinions on it. Its complimentary to the CFA, it expands heavily on the small AI section. Topics include a heavily weighted and expanded quant section, real estate, private equity, hedge funds and so on. The topics look really good, you can get it by writing 2 tests (sept/march), and schweser provides products for it. Beyond all that, the stuff interests me and it is a growing designation with more and more presence around the world. In 5 or so years it will have a similar structure to the CFA, except the CFA is in the mature stage and the CAIA is in growth.

Check out the forum for CAIA on AF, link is on top right of your screen.

spent time with my mom, who is close to passing away from cancer. It was incredibly difficult studying and spending time with her, but I felt great being able to tell her the exam went well.
