crash_test_dummy · July 11, 2006, 7:42am

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.

Hi Vishal.
Thnx for a prompt reply.
Well my knowledge is pretty confined wen it comes to CFA and i think only beckers is providing coaching for CFA.

Im sitting for June2007 and i want to start as early as possible....only limitation is unavailabilty of books...i have schweizer 2004 notes....i know they r outdated.

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.....

lets c.
