T-minus 10 days...

I apologize for not posting in several months, but I have been busy so I wrote several posts in Word but for some reason, the computer won't let me copy and paste text.

Anyway, I am now on my last study session on measuring investment performance. Not surprisingly, one of the last sessions is one of the most difficult. Part of the reason is that it isn;t as intuitive as some of the others. Most of the others build on things from previous levels. This doesn't, so I'm not expanding my knowledge base in a particular area. On top of that, it's warm out which makes every fiber of my being want to review. I learn when it's cold and review when it's warm. When it's hot I wait for the results. On top of that I begin my MBA program in 12 days, and the anticipation is absolutely a distraction.

10 days from now will be a red letter distraction. I will have completd session 17 and have officially learned everything that a CFA charterholder is expected to know. I must still spend a month on review and then demonstrate that I have the knowledge, but it will be nice to say that I will have completed the education. I'll probably celebrate by getting a chili dog.
