How about both of you jump off this thread until adding some value. Respectfully…
 
Since you’re not having much here, you might want to try on the Wilmott forums.
 
you mean he was actually trying to get useful information off of AF before? if so he will never make it in quant
 
I have posted on Wilmott before, but this time it doesn’t suit the purpose of this thread since the majority of posters have highly quantitative skills before taking MFEs/CQFs/whatever –> different context
Since the CQF is marketed on analystforum and since the CFA has traditionally been more of a business student oriented program, I am looking for insight from these individuals.
 
i dont think $18K are justified for this certificate from a cost-benefit perspective. it seems like a relatively good program that is way overpriced
 
I’m going to look into CQF, though don’t plan to take it unless whatever firm I end up in the future pays for it.
I just got a bunch of quantitative finance books, including Wilmott’s 3-volume set, and I’m absolutely dying to get into them. Will start right when I wake up the Sunday after the CFA Level 2 exam.
 
I’d be interested in the CQF if it weren’t so bloody expensive. However, it seems that it’s more for people who are doing derivatives pricing than anything else. I’m more into econometric modeling and quantitative portfolio management, and it doesn’t appear to devote much time to that.

They have 100+ hours of growing material on high frequency trading, GARCH and other econometric modelling, etc…
