Need some Opinions on CFA

babu do u hav answer to my query above about d cutoff n all.plz hai to replyy

it's kinda sad...this thread used to be a good place for people to discuss real issues and share useful CFA info; now it's turned into this pick-up joint where people are trying to sell their material n make money, hunt for xerox copies and cheap bargains, and publicizing their mailing egroups. Vineet, please stop posting your number desparately again and again, and sumitGupta, you have pasted the same post at 4 different threads on PG. i will leave it to your discretion whether you guys voluntarily stop doing this or get reported and banned for that matter.

I dont think i will go for coaching. But if the coaching really gives sumthing xtra or sumthin not in books ...and is cost effective then i have all the time in d world for it.....
