I have found the CFA institute compliled text books helpfull in the sense that they save a lot of time which I'd otherwise spend in jumping from one book to another and finding required part.

Thank you.

Yes, i do have background in finance and currently i'm a market analyst in Dubai. Hence, CFA compiled textbooks plus this sites notes will be a good option.
