what would you advise?? With above^^am assuming you already have the around 85k required to register at CFA institute,then the 100k can be put in stocks and you self study CFA What if one day Google was deleted and we couldn't Google what happened to Google

From a personal experience!better do the CFA.
by the time your NSE 100K would have made you 12K,u will have finished your CFA.

what would you advise?? What is your aim? To get educated or to invest?
You can't mix funds to be used for both education and investments. The two are separate paths. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

First of all how old are you(below 25,definitely go for CFA),is that 100K between you and the other side? What kind of support(a job, some benefactor...) do you have? If none, invest the money somewhere else not the NSE.As one Wazuan pointed out, your information is too scanty for an opinion to be rendered.

thank s for the input.
for clarification.
the main goal is to be investing my excess funds at nse(already decided), so does the 100k fall in that category.
age is less than 30 bt above 25, no family, got a stable job, and also running a consulting on the side.
the advise is whether, is it worth to invest in CFA for now, get the knowledge and then invest later at nse after the knowledge or go to nse straight way with the little knowledge already gathered..( CFA has nothing to do with career,just personal knowledge seeking).

this is totally personal so do not follow what I say bu what you decide to do..t
If I were you, I would look at my positives one being your age, another one the money you want to invest is actually available and the brains. If I combine the three I would say I do the education and take the shortest time possible. Armed with the education I would then pluge into the buisness of investing... Along the way as I complete my studies I would invest any little amount that come my way to gain some experience with the market. Again this is my thinking only

From my experience and gleaning from an earlier topic on wazua where most contributors( read CFA holders) swore that the KNOWLEDGE they acquired did very little to propel them to making profits,invest in stocks but be prepared to burn as well. Experience is the best teacher.

what would you advise?? Did Warren Buffett do the CFA exam? Being 'learned' is not the same as being 'educated' ... It is better to the be the latter  Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
