I HAVE COMPLETED CFA SYLLABUS IN HIGH SCHOOL..now ??

As a prospective investor, I am about to graduate high school and have completed CFA L1 curriculum(without ethics and other useless stuff) and going to start L2 . Hopefully going to complete L2 and L3 within 6 months. What should I do or read more advanced after L3 . I want to start investing myself.How to start ?? One thing I believe is that every noob starts by value investing. How much knowledge does completing CFA SYLLABUS is equivalent to ?? And what more should I do.

You are completely wasting your time. 1. You can't even take the CFA until your final year. 2. You could easily get the same information by reading the journal every day and learning basic fundamentals.

 

See , I understand that .That's why I have not done ethics and other stuff which I will prepare before exams properly. But because I want to gain solid knowledge and start as soon as possible . Yes and I also read WSJ and FT daily.

 

Yes start as an analyst after college . Interested in private market as well but it requires a lot of capital and experience .
