Best of luck to everyone taking the CFA today.

All that hard work is going to pay off!

I for one will be going to moose's after for a beer.

Good luck, and let's get it done!

140,000 writing this year. Most ever.

No pressure.



Seriously though, good luck!

180,000 * ~$1200 per test. CFA institute is doing well for itself.

It feels good to be done.

But the good feeling is watered down by how EPICLY hungover I am right now.

That time of year again. Good luck to those writing on Saturday. I am writing Level III (again) this year. Can't wait to be done... one way or another. Then it is scotch o'clock.

Level II this year.

Passed Level I in 2006.

I have paid to write LII in 07, 08, 10, and now, but this is the first time I will actually write the test. Being unemployed for 8 months has certainly helped ;-)

Good luck

How can a term as awesome 'down the rabbit hole' be used to describe something as boring as a CFA test?

Do they make you write it on psychedelics?

Good luck to all involved, and no offense meant, but man did I get tricked into the wrong thread.

Writing level 1 this year. No one concept is overly difficult but man is there a lot to know. Can't wait to finally have some semblance of a normal life again.

Haha. Yeah, I did a quick search for Chartered Financial Analyst and this is the first one that came up so I picked it. Maybe ILP could change the title or something.

I have been doing this far too long and can't wait to be done. I don't know what I will do if I don't pass again but I feel quite confident this time around. I failed in Band 9 last year so I was close and have put an equal or even more amount of time into it this year. Trying to do some last minute reviewing (ethics, GIPS) and hopefully crush it...

If this is the level of research and due diligance I can expect from a CFA then you sir are not welcome to manage my 42.50 and several crates of empties I have earmarked for my retirement.

What you are looking for is a business owner from the World Financial Group.
