What do I do with my time now (For CFA candidates and even non-CFA "people")

[@Paul-he8uu]

This is a great idea. Thanks Mark.

I watched the documentary 'Inside Job'. Made me wanna rethink why I'm doing CFA

Now be happy

i can vouch for Ben Lambert. I am currently watching his graduate econometrics playlist, which is basically the same thing as the undergrad but with more independent variables and in matrix form, In comparison with MIT statistics with applications, Ben really breaks down the material. If you're interested in statistics/data science in finance, Ben Lambert is awesome in understanding the theoretical side. Mark got me through l1, although l2 was my fault because of time. His style of teaching is how I like to be taught! As a disclaimer, I have a math degree and stopped pursing cfa for quant fin.

[@Ss-fm8oj]

What made you change direction? Just curious to know.

I recently bought a Damodaran on valuation book, I guess videos of him will be really helpful. Thank you Professor!

We're in mandatory evening lockdown in the UAE

[@swamagic2525]

In india as well

[@danielheckel2755]

Which due to the UAE weather, I suppose is not much different than 24/7 lockdown?

I'm sure you've gotten this a few times, but thoughts on picking up some coding skills over the break? Seems like it's becoming more sought after for research positions.

[@cheeezys]

Udemy courses are on sale for the rest of the day. I purchased a SQL and Python course for around $40 total.

Mark, it would be interesting to get your views on the current Bill Ackman situation and his comments on CNBC regarding "Hell is coming". I.e in your view, will markets get worse, and do you think he was attempting to move the market. Thanks

[@MarkMeldrum]

I will do one today on this and a few other good questions. The Ackman/CNBC fiasco is a good lesson.

I am a L3 candidate & subscriber, if i subscribe the l1 archive content, will i be able to download the l1 archive content? or only online viewing is allowed?

[@MarkMeldrum]

Only online.

[@tusharsingh2244]

Hi Mark, The Applied Market series is not appearing in the archive section. I have 2018 Level 3 Archive

[@MarkMeldrum]

Its not in the archive section - it has its own title bar.

[@tusharsingh2244]

Checked on entire website. Found it nowhere.

[@sanketsawant7475]

Hi Mark. I going to appear 1 in Dec bt want to appear 2 in June 2021 n want to start study now for few subjects. Can I buy ur subscription for L2 2021 now? Or I need to wait till L2 Dec 2020 is over?

[@MarkMeldrum]

The 2021 content is released in August - I would wait until then. I can talk to the team here and see if a 2021 package makes sense now with 2020 content that upgrades to 2021 in August.

I want maths primer for financial mathematics. All online courses by institutes are very expensive.....UCLA, Baruch & New York institute of finance charge 1200 usd....any suggestions?

[@fabianhoch9088]

Buy the book "A Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering" by Dan Stefanica.

[@_Sam_-zh7sw]

@@fabianhoch9088 i got that and linear algebra one as well. but its kind of a tough read going forward as i dont have mathematics background. Thats the reason i need the mathematics refresher course first....the best suited is newyork institute of finance based on its curriculum...but its very expensive....

[@anuragrathore9555]

Any content you recommend for Financial Engineering/ Quants?

[@_Sam_-zh7sw]

Both Dan Stefanicas books

could you recommend any financial modelling course for beginners?

[@sarthakpatel6285]

It's a useless exam anyway. If you want to clear the levels to land a good job. don't go for it. It does not worth. I have passed 2 levels in a single attempt within the top 10 percentile, still, i am unemployed. CFA has the worst possible ROI. so save time and money, learn algorithmic trading instead and take some udemy classes.

[@xavierharrison1223]

CFA is to teach you about finance, it is not a guarantee for a job like any qualification. Your employment says more about you than the CFA, given charterholders fill the ranks of investment management firms and research houses.
