| fabsan | you wrong chester21. The True yield include all days (weekend and holiday) in a single year. But, the street conv yield only take business days. If I say, I made 2% on 365 days (true yield) and you said you made 2% on 255 days (because you only take into account the business days); if we were to compare our 2 performances, you will always make more. |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
