I am an ex-commodities trader. My advice is to get some used CFA lvl 1 materials or you can download the pdfs online through torrent. they arent up to date but they should be cheap. the corp fin, accounting, and portfolio sections are great. derivatives, fixed income and equities are ok; also to learn about the market and how it works better to read materials from the exchanges and articles then textbooks. ALSO cant stress enough that to know finance you need to learn accounting and how to read company's annual reports and financials.
- abhimskywalker 11y agoThanks! Will look into the CFA level 1 material as well. I have some basic hold on accounting concepts, have prepared financial projections for large projects in the past and also can read and understand most parts of company annual reports and financials. Also could you please extrapolate a little on "materials from the exchanges and articles", does it mean routine publications/periodicals and white-papers sort of material? It would be really great if you could just point me to any one of the example source of these.
