boss search in google groups.... i'm sure you will get the videos and audios...but you need to be patient in doing the search.......

The US based CFA institue (CFAI)-with horders of indian students on its roll has been denied the "Chartered Financial Analyst" trademark by the Trade Mark Registry in the UK.
Whats more,CFAI's trademark applications are still pending in many other nations including Hong Kong,Australia and India.
All in all, CFAI is a private organasation which does not have any government approval in the USA, it is neither a universtiy, nor accredited by any well know accreditation body in the USA.

Please dont bash me. I am copying the words from the paper. Here is the link with 15 pages of legal case: CFA US trademark denied in UK

Hey tgvrrr

I guess u can paste all those links here for benefit of CFA level 1 junta to be even more safe u can paste it on some blog /free web page...

If u can pm me the links I can do it for u

Thanx

This will hurt CFA AIMR big time. London is a very important global financial centre and the recent case decided against AIMR means CFA will not be allowed as a designation in UK. 😞

Here are the links:

The Financial Express > CM > AIMR members denied chartered financial analyst status in UK
The Hindu Business Line : US body refused registration of `CFA' trademark in UK

first of all imust appreciate your love towards indianism.... and let me tell you ......this isnt sarcasm...honestly.....i've read some of your posts ...in other threads... and you always stood for the indian version of cfa(the icfai one).... and as you said manytimes (in your continuous war against another puy!!! i cant recollect his name!!1)..... there isn't any difference by a change in the way you call it...cfa of icfai willnot lose its credibility drastically if its called M.S finance. .. and many of my friends are pursuing it...

hopefully, the same applies to a.i.m.r CFA..... it will not lose its recognition and value even if there is trouble with its trademark in london...... and most possibly , all throughout the world, the CFA designation will not have any effect ..... hopefully......: :
(on the lighter side.... it doesnt look good if i support you.... as i've applied for this aimr CFA )

@ inzomniac...
shall i send you the page as a mail attachment....? i'm not very comfortable with getting the links out of the page... i will zip the page.... and will send them to you...you can upload the links here...what say????

hey friends, my buddy got me the BA II plus calci instead of the BA II plus professional...will it be more than sufficient for the cfa exams, and is it is very difficult to operate??don't want to face problems on exam day...

Hey Guys,

This thread has been simply great, i just read it from the start and gathered a ton of information.. (although i might have missed some part, coz 19 pages is really a lot to read!)

Anyways, i am thinking about registering for the June exam, and have about 6 months to prepare.. (acc. to the posts earlier, i gather its enough provided i work hard).

Also, i just wanted to ask what the difference would be between a person who has passed all three levels (1,2,3) and has not fulfilled the 4-year workex(so basically doesn't have a charter) and the one who has a charter. Is it easy for the one without a charter to get a job in India or not ?

Do post your opinions.. 😃

Does the CFA Institute allow the BA II plus calci?? I don't think so.Please check up on the website .During the examination the Invigilators are very particular about checking the calci's ...

@rajatb

I used BA 2 plus calci during DEC 06 lvl 1.SO I guess its used
check here in case of doubt
Calculator Policy



@gautam

The BA 2 plus (prof) calci has extra features which are rarely used for the exam eg.It can calculate future NPV for unequal CFs ...Those kinda of problems rarely cum in exam..So its not going to give u an edge...
U can buy it if u have lots of money....bcos it may give u a psychological edge....
As far as I know BA 2 plus cost arnd INR 1600 and the pro costs INR 3000


PS:Hewlett Packard 12C is painful as I heard from ppl...So if u are in two minds go for BA 2 plus ...even schweser recoomends BA 2 plus
spiderman82 Says
have u got the notes,,,,??

Yeah mate, I got the latest schweiser notes from Lakshmi Photocopiers (the one opposite to Mithibhai/NM).
What about you? Do you have anything other than Schweiser? are you getting the CFA institute's notes from somewhere or what?
