Blue Box Examples to not miss? guidance, examples, important, therefore

DoubleDip

I have run out of material to study -- I have not yet done the blue box examples, and i don't want to go through all of them because it takes too long.

Any guidance as to which ones would be considered particularly key? I'm sure they are prob all important, but undoubtedly there are those that you have come across more than once on sample exams and therefore would consider more relevant.

This kind of goes along with the "important EoC" thread, but i found when i went through the EoC that there was quite a bit left out, that i presume was covered in the blue boxes.

Numerator is Covariance.

Denominator turns covariance into correlation.

I figured that formula out in 2 seconds. It took me 3 read throughs to realize that Beta = correlation(SDasset/SDmkt)

I wouldn't think an item set though and if it was it would be the simpler relationships. Not (Beta)(Beta)(Variance MKT) / (SD1)(SD2) = correlation.

That formula frustrates me.... When is it just (Beta*Beta*Var) versus (Beta*Beta*Var)/(SD1*SD2)

I've seen both... blah..

Thanks all... that example is actually a little complex. not hard to understand, but takes time. Just hope I can still remember all that under the time pressure if it shows up.

Same.... I have taken 2007-2010 morning, and have not seen one question related. I have taken various mocks, and seen it maybe once outta 10. This is "overdue" (gamblers fallacy?)

Did you guys all attend the 3-day workshop thus the concentration with the BLUE BOXES? I personally haven't done them as /i feel the workshop question book covers alot of the blue boxes material.

have a strong feeling they are gonna test that.

It's the thing with risk premiums, illiquidity premiums and degree of segmentation and integration.

It's in one of the economics sections...

Hey guys, could you tell us where Singer-Terhar section is in CFAi and the blue box example? Remember wanting to come back to this topic but now I can't remember where it is (or what it is...) Thanks!
