Too C, Didn’t JO
CFA = Pointless
Too >41%; had to S some Ds for coffee this morning.
:(
The results posts on Analyst Forum are like a customer service training video in Mumbai:
“woo…. barely make it… very lucky…what a relieve.. ”

Even more borderline…I got the price is right bid!
Seriously, fix my Dell.
INTERESTING CG FACT #8: CG’s high school class voted him “most likely to work a shadowy construction job that may or may not be a front for some kind of illegal activity.”

highlyconfident doesn’t sound so highly confident.
Is it an Italian custom to wear caterpillar boots around the house with tube socks and nothing else?

Fack. December then June doesn’t seem to work out too well and that level 2 sucked.
What Dec ?
L2 and 3 are only in JUNE
@14 who said they were in december?
@15. My bad. I just PASSd L2.
So I was a bit haughty there.
@5 keep up the good work.
passed that bitch yeah son WHAT WHAT IT DO!!!!!!! LIII here I come!
Ugh… standards going down the drain. coming closer and closer to taking this off my resume
@7 …confidence temporarily broken
@2 = failed level one, probably twice.
MBA > CFA
What the fuck is a CFA?

@18 I hear you have to be literate to pass L3. Please sign up, though. I need plenty of that 51% cushion.
passed bitaches, eat it.
-SC
December level I, June level II
No I’m not level III yet…
CFA is for the tools that MDs don’t want talking to clients or making strategic decisions. They are number jockeys, at best.
Is there a Level IV I can take?
suck it haters!
@28 yes its called the Series 6
@28 – Yeah, its called Spencer Gifts, and its at the mall.
CFA = bad lay
Elliot Wave Theory is more important than any of that CFA bullshit. One day, when it works, I’ll be the King of the Ballers, biatches!!
Series 6 is for pussies.

interesting fact for #5 – you’re a retard
MBA = people not smart/disciplined enough to pass CFA
@ 21. Passed Level 1 1st time. will never take another CFA exam. Totally useless, and the only people that will tell you otherwise are CFA’s at a mediocre buyside shop in cleveland or white plains.
suck it
I don’t see the need for these exams…
won’t my Bar Mitzvah credits transfer?
There was no “attempting” to S my own D this morning. The only challenge involved was ducking to the side at the end to avoid a facial.
dude 33 is so right… the modal tendencies of this market are a simple reflexive interpolation of a motive 5 wave sequence, predicated upon 2×2 and 1×4 corrective pattern. A new corrective base is forming at the phi root, and I am on my way to the bank.
I have no friends, am still a virgin, and will make between $100 and $500k a year for the rest of my life as my colleagues with people skills make real money.

@40 I don’t disagree on the general lameness of CFAs, but you’re deluding yourself if you think there’s boom era money to be made over the next decade except for a very select few, a very select few who aren’t so insecure that they have to make fun of CFAs on a comment board.
CFA = people who got rejected by their top MBA school choices
God, everyone on here is terrible.
Close call, but I would go with option 2.
–CG
@5: good one today! keep them coming (and keep slicing the sopressata). was he rejected in HS by Janet Takvoli after reaching second base during the typing elective? does he keep the ghost writer for his “definitive” book locked in the basement of his Rego Park home? was he Jimmy Cayne original pot dealer that turned on him once JC started using Lenny Dykstra’s delivery service? was he rejected from Amanda Drury’s hotel when he tried to get an elevator operator job there last week? was his brother convicted of mixing imported olive oil with canola in some Jersey warehouse? was he kicked out of the Bond Buyer after seducing the editor’s underage daughter?
@ 44, suck it whore
MBA = http://dealbreaker.com/2009/05/theyve-got-it-laminated-on-lit.php
@19 Lowest L3 pass rate ever? standards are dropping huh
@49 Dunno about standards but the quality of people taking the exam seems to be getting worse.
32 Cs or 32 Ds?
Love how this page really illustrates nicely the type of person who values the MBA so much. Under each anti-CFA comment should be a space for them to share how humiliating it was when they failed Level I in June and again in December – after which it was decided that the CFA was just SUCH a waste of time.
@33 – very nice
Most of the MBA’s have fond memories of their “group projects” and apple polishing.
Is an MBA worth having? Obviously. But at least with the CFA, you either passed it or you didn’t. No gaming possible.
@52
People who go/went to real b-schools are smart enough to not waste time even taking Level 1.
@22 and @36:
MScFin>CFA>MBA.
Pussies.
CFA = ugly chicks
I got my job from my uncle. And I didn’t need to take no test. Suck it, bitches.
@25, is that you Steve?
cfa done, three for three … and as a muni cfa chick … some of us arent so bad to look at.
CFA…MBA…we’re all going to working for the same c-suckers.
@56, your MSFin professor was probably a teller at WaMu with a graduate degree in math or finance. He’ll teach you how to make millions, dumbass.
@60, were you the one vomiting in front of Dorian’s last weekend?
@60 MuniShe, Post pics or don’t waste our time with such comments.
@63 dont know why, that made me laugh
@65, you’ve seen it too, that’s why it’s funny. “I’m independent, I work in finance, want to take me home, excuse me for a…***vomits on sidewalk***” so…your place?
@63-65, haha, yes, finance chicks are funny sometimes
Has the pass rate gone up or down and how should that affect my decision whether to apply for an MBA instead?
and finance dudes are just a symbol of manly grace and dignity of course
oh and posting your pic on one of these sites seems like a great career move, i am all over that idea for sure
Congratulations all who passed, tough luck to those who failed. I netted -$20 on side bets and “CFA insurance” at the office today.
From personal experience, the CFA charter carries more weight than ever now. It just got me hired away from a zombie financial institution to the most prestigious one I can think of (I’m reading DB in the interim before I start there), and when I’m hiring in the future CFAs will go to the top of the pile. Hang in there!
@70 you passed L3?
Has anyone found the CMT to be helpful…or have an opinion on its worth? Obviously nowhere near a CFA or MBA but perhaps worth pursuing?
$20 CFA side bets are the new equities in Dallas.
@69 = fat chick
@ 72
I wouldnt take too serious something that asks you what a dead cat bounce is
@70, why are those asians so smart?!
MBA =
- $120K tuition gone,
- 2 years of no salary (400K?) gone,
- 2 setback in career (bec you maybe get the same job you did before). Maybe
- Learn nothing new (or that CFA can’t teach you)
If I’m gonna take a 2 year, 520K vacation, it better be better than getting an MBA…
Does that mean a CFA and MBA are redundant? Seems most places expect the younger generation to get both to really move ahead … tho I agree grad school was a bit of a waste.
You are all losers. You should be embarrassed by the way you talk. CFA or no CFA.
@72, passed it two years ago, just anniversaried the work experience requirement this year–then got charter and job.
@73, the $20 was net. Equal numbers passed and failed, but because they had slightly different odds it worked out not to equal zero.
@80 and where are you soon to be employed?
CFA & MBA = people too poor or stupid to have their Dad’s get them 35 hour a week 6 figure jobs.
@60 do you have an irish accent and did you sit next to me in our L2 study group in SF. If so, then gentlemen you can’t handle 1/2 of what she’s got in the game or intelligence department.

@84, can’t handle 200lbs on my chest either
