I'm doing CF right now actually, have only done this and Alternative Investments thus far. And yeah CF is not intensive by any means, I'm just ramping it up slowly (too slowly). By my plan I should have finished Derivatives last weekend, instead I went to a crawfish boil. 
Whatever, its part of the deal. Time for the nightly swing by WF and then back at it. I need about another 50 pages tonight before I start emptying the mailbox of daily news.

I'm working on Level I right now and took the Stat practice test last night and got almost 80%...The practice exam seemed remarkably easier than i was anticipating, so i hope that the actual exam is the same

The Mock exams are pretty accurate to the difficulty of the test, if that's what you are talking about.

Ya I was referring to the STAT portion of the practice exam.
What's everyone taking? As of right now it seems like:
Level III: THF
Level II: kfizz
Level I: Myself and RedStick
I'm sure i'm missing people

What I was referring to was an actual old exam. Hoping the year's I took wasn't just a fluke.

Where'd you find an old exam?

New Random Thought I Had:
Are patents the next bubble builder in tech? I was reading an article on CNBC LINK talking about RIMM and the usual talk about how they are getting ripped a new one every day, but at the end the article notes:
"They have a great patent portfolio. We just think the device part of the market for RIM is troubling."
With this coupled with some things with Facebook, Google,etc, do you foresee a company being valued more on the ideas it owns instead of the products it sells and makes profits on? Seems like overvaluation is going to occur with every one fighting for patents and overpaying to get them, etc.
Be gentle, I'm not a finance guy, but it seems to me like some irrationality could form around this.

I figured the topic was behind with everything I've read in tech the last few years, it just seemed like it could get worse before it gets better when people are looking at lowly RIMM's patents as something worth a shite.Posted on 7/16/12 at 8:23 pm to RedStickBR
Heard a commercial the other day for the Pentagon Credit Union credit card. You get 15 cents per gallon in gas for using it. Must be military, family of military, member of an affiliate group, or make a one-time $15 donation to a specified military charity.
I am seriously considering doing this. 15 cents per gallon would lower my gas expense by about 4.7% and that's the best deal I've seen.
Has anyone used this? Before I go about researching the card, is there any kind of deal breaker you know about up front?

Question for those that have access to Bloomberg software. I am looking for a variable that measures bank risk taking, something similar to Moody's EDF what is Bloomberg's equivalent?
