"...if you have a weak spot, the market will inevitably find it when it can cause you the most pain."

Food for thought.

Today marks the first official day of my CFA study. It is my understanding from a number of CFA Portfolio Managers that the time investment will be quite significant, and nothing less than a full commitment will be required to pass the examination.

Take a look at the books I get to enjoy for the next eight months:

1999 CFA Level I Candidate Readings
Economics: Private and Public Choice
Financial Statement Analysis (Bernstein & Wild)
Fundamentals of Financial Management (Brigham & Houston)
Futures, Options, and Swaps (Kolb)
International Investments (Solnik)
Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (Reilly & Brown)
Standards of Practice (AIMR): focuses on ethics--very important
Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics(Mason and Lind)

...that's not including the non-official supplementary material I have ordered myself to complement my studies. So if you don't see me often on the threads, you'll know what I'm doing and where I'm at.

Good luck to all,

Rainier

Ranier and all,
Just a thought if you haven't done it already; if you go to Berkshire-Hathaway home page you can access most of yearly reports to shareholders by the master, most of them are in archives...and as the sage of Omaha would appreciate...they are for free and full of modest wisdom and wit.......nysebob2
in the old days, before computers, you had to be a shareholder to recieve them....
