Hello Ray,

I’ve just been reading your blog and I must say I am SUPER impressed! I too am studying for the CFA Level 1 exam in June ‘09 and I have just started studying this week, so your study plans etc. have really helped me out and have helped me to conceptualize the task of organizing this mammoth exam. I feel rather guilty that I’m using all of your creations without having put in any of the effort to make them. I was wondering if I could make some study notes and/or diagrams etc. and give them to you so that you can post them for other people?

Also, I was wondering what software application you used to create your cool looking flow charts for the ethics section, and for your $5m plan? Is it Visio? If not, where can I download the application?

Many thanks!!

Hi Chris. This is a great blog. I simply love the way you put things with all the typical singaporean’s bias removed.

Good luck with your 5M10Y project! I know you will make it because of your clear minded thinking and planning.

PS: Wish me luck on my Dec 08 CFA Level I. (Worse case scenario…. you’ll have a potential study mate for the June 09 paper!)
