i took level 1, which is the easiest nowadays (approx. a 60-65% pass rate), all multiple choice... I think I passed it, although my performance on the accounting section wasnt too impressive... not to mention those problems about some guy named Yen. I was doing good on the ethics with my simple WWMD? (what would Michael do?) approach, but then I got Michael Burke confused with Michael Milken level 2 is the hardest nowadays, with the lowest pass rates (around 55%)... and 3 maybe the second hardest as its pass rates have fallen significantly (it used to be the easiest with 70% pass rate) I'm counting on poor performances by the rest of the analysts to pull me through... three years of work for three lousy letters.... I may just add a few random letter after my name and call it even..

Mike: You buying puts yet. I will put my toe in the water on Monday with the financials as they are at all time highs, but other than that, I am holding off. Intel is getting very tempting and I would love to put Rambus and Micron but man are they pricey. Any others you like ? In Fred Hickeys last letter, he mentioned the buildout of the ISP providers. It would seem that they may make a good opportunity given the expected competition in this area. (exodus is one that comes to mind) thanks
