how about you stopping wasting time studying for the CFA and getting on the right bandwagon? :-)

stock will only go up if deal is perceived to close sooner, right now its discounting about 11% return if you hold it for a year or so. dont waste your energy on it if you already closed out the position.

no it will continue to trade, shareholders must accept it first, they also have 25 days to accept a higher bid if it comes.. price should move to deal price as time goes by and deal is closed, thats your reason why its at 82 now, its estimated to take about a year...

wtf, why is it going to take a year to close. private buy out no regulatory scrutiny...

thats exactly how i had it in the past, through ILX ... i believe thomson bought them, but these days it much tougher getting the service. Thomson charges about $700/month for notes and close to 1K/month for full reports with tables/estimates, but without broker relationships at each bank...

Anybody using First Call notes? I-banks became much more selective in alllowing small firms access to their research. Thomson and all others require contact details in order to grant access. Anybody with a way around this? anyone using first call?

I would strongly agree. Too much financial theory and intellectual probing clouds ones judgement and affects flexibility in quick decision making. Sometimes the less you know the better. its easy to ignore stop losses and switch in time frames when one starts thinking value but trades on shorter...

I enrolled in it for the exact reason that it looked interesting, and in fact it is, very interesting. Also it gives me excellent opportunities to network with FOF professionals which can do wonders down the road if I make a decision to trade OPM. It wont help you with fundamental investing...

Phillips center does have decent performances, and how can you beat going to games with 90k plus screaming out of their minds..

CFA just way too long.. if you are going to sacrifice that much life why not go for part time MBA? CAIA takes a year and is much more interesting, so it takes a year to start networking with serious Fund of Funds managers looking to put $$ to work.

getting a CFA after few years of day trading will do zilch for you, it might open few doors for interviews but it all comes down to networking and interpersonal skills. bottom line CFA with no "real" work experience wont do much for u. And if someone is thinking of studying for 3 years just...

Update, The Journal of Alternative Investments is free for members now...

CAIA vs CFA old thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61590

no its not comparable to CFA since its about Alternative investments not digging through financial statements.... i dont know what ?s you saw, but you are kidding yourself with that little study comment. level 2 CAIA is as hard as level 2 CFA.

someone with news other than dow jones is pretty confident that HET is not going for more than 82. I took a shot with cheap 85 calls so hopefully he/she/they are wrong :-)

consider CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst) instead, much more interesting material, can be earned in a year. www.caia.org

but i bet u would take gainesville girls over miami any day?

probably going for 82 out of money calls dirt cheap cant be going for 90

CAIA is for alternative investments so when you talk to internal hedge fund groups at I-banks, Fund of Funds and overall Alternative Investments departments they will know about CAIA, average joe shmo in operations and HR is more likely to know about the CFA for sure since they have been around...

actually there is Boca Raton, and then everything else.. :-)
