Introduction

So I’m thinking of porting the class notes I took onto the blog.

(I mean — Google “CFA class summary” or whatever and you get a million of them, so… why not me too lol)

The CFA classes I took were genuinely fun, and my plan is just to transcribe the notes as-is. And if something is simple enough to backtest, or if some simulation would actually help, I’ll try to throw that in too as supporting material… maybe. We’ll see. heh.

But at minimum: transcription!!!!

Right now is one of those moments where even regular non-finance people are weirdly deep into stocks — (apparently this kind of retail-driven market only rolls around once every ~5 years or so) — and yeah, the heat is gonna die down soon. But I think the stuff that ends up organized here? Genuinely useful. (sure sure)

OK then — let’s study, and let’s have fun with it!

Fighting!!!!!!

Posting goal: one per week!!!!

Here’s what my day already looks like:

• 1 hour before work, super early morning → intermediate accounting
• 1 hour at lunch → mathematical statistics
• 2 hours after work, after the gym → mathematical statistics

Time I can actually carve out per day for blog posts: 30 min – 1 hour.

That is, like, my actual max. So — (T_T T_T T_T) I have no time (T_T T_T T_T) you get it, right?? (T_T T_T)

But I promise: the stuff I do post, I’ll keep at the highest quality I can manage! heh heh heh

OK — let’s gooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
