:new_ukliam2::new_ukliam2::new_ukliam2::new_ukliam 2::new_ukliam2::new_ukliam2::huh::huh::huh::huh::h uh:

Junta,

The 2008 FRM Examination AIM(Applying Instructional Materials) statements that have been provided "contain the AIMS for each reading in the study guide(core reading)"

I noticed that the AIM statements cover a particular set of topics from the core reading material.

In the sense, a particular chapter mentioned as a core reading... has the AIM statements outlining the so called stuff one oughta know by the end of reading the same.


The problem I feel now,
There are particular topics of the prescribed core reading texts which are not mentioned as part of AIM statements.

Now to think of it, would it be okay to simply skip those topics not mentioned..... or would it be wise not too..... because.. some topics being skipped are simply long and are "magga based"....

Exemplary:

Under CRMM(Credit Risk Measurement and Management)
Core Reading Specifies Chapter 11...Credit Risk: Individual Loan Risk from Anthony Saunders and Marcia Millon Cornette.>>>>BOOK 2 of the FRM Core Readings Pack

(Ref to the names of the topics mentioned entirely in CAPS)
The AIM statements expects us to read the following topics from that Chapter:::Ref: Page 23 of the AIM statements.
1. Calculating the Return on a Loan.
2. Measurement of Credit Risk
3. Default Risk Models
4. Newer Models of Credit Risk Measurement and Pricing



The same chapter also includes the following topics:
1. Credit Quality Problems
2. Types of Loans
3. Retail Versus Wholesale Credit Decisions.



Now, Are we to spend time reading the last three topics not mentioned as part of the AIMS?? or can we simply skip the same??









PS::::::::::::::::
Mumbai FRM Junta meet for today at 11 AM at DADAR E CCD:::
I would be coming.... I'd be glad if someone can help me out with this issue.....


It must be such a curse... to be the left hand of god.

CALCULATOR ISSUES!!


I asked the Matunga Store(Rank Enterprises) wala regarding the TI BA-II Pro calcy.. He said it'd be for Rs. 2800... and that he'd even deliver to your residence....
I read previously either here or on one of the orkut community forums that he had been selling the same for Rs. 2500....
On asking the fellow abt the same.. he started going all abt the depreciation of the Rupee and crap that he has been having to pay a lot of import duty and all....
Has anybody recently purchased the TI BA-II Pro calcy cheaper than Rs. 2800???


And, is it available at any other store apart from this Matunga fellow's??

Another thing......
Has anybody been to crawford market to enquire about this calculator??
Plzz let me know if anyone has already... cuz I'd visit crawford market on MONDAY and check about the calculator....


It must be such a curse... to be the left hand of god.

Hi guys, i am from Kolkata. Recently i found this thread, its really nice to see and intract with FRM 2008 community. I seek help from the early birds on following matters..
  1. What will be sufficient to pass out i.e. Schwesers material, Financial Risk Manager Hand book (4th Edition) or FRM core reading material. i want to go very specific, as wont get enough time for many references.
  2. What is the contact detail of Laxmi Xerox. I am having detail of OM Copy centre, is it also authentic.
Also update about todays meeting at Dadar.

Is there any one from Kolkata community.....??????

Hi,
I'm from Delhi, and am preparing for FRM 2008 (or so I'd like to believe :sleepy

Am not joining any extra classes for this..just relying on the core readings and handbook...itna bhi kar paya to bahut hoga, given the dedication and time at hand

And about the material, as was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, there's a shop in Ber Sarai (Bharat Book Depot) who sells this stuff...but at a mighty premium to Mumbai's Laxmi Book Depot

At the risk of this post being snipped, I ask this:
Is there someplace online, from where we can download the full bionicturtle videos, from pvs years maybe?
Can previous yr's BT subscribers (and now successful FRM holders) come to rescue?

Does anyone have soft copy of - A Guide to Quantitative Finance by Marcello Minenna ?

Also perhaps it would be a good idea to collect all the links to material mentioned in this forum at one single location
