Path to the CFA
Yup, I’m burning the midnight oil in an attempt to earn my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.
I’m an electrical engineer by training and currently doing that gig as an independent contractor.
As far as investing goes, my education is all informal. I’ve read about a dozen of the most popular investing books and Dummies Guides and have successfully put a lot of that material to practice in the stock market since 2002.
But given that my intrigue with investing has proven to be more than just a passing interest, I thought I’d make a bid for the CFA to fill in knowledge gaps and, who knows, one day maybe manage money instead, or alongside of, my engineering work.
I’m blogging about my experiences along the way…
