Hey ya .... Good evening to all of you !

Right now facing a little cold war with SFM .... as I am just escaping from this subject for more than 3 months .....

in this time-gap I took a break from study and even restarted the study , doing other subjects at good pace .... but the bulky pages of problems and solutions are enough to frighten me everytime ...... So, I was thinking if ya'll are facing similar problem too ....... then Y not opt for group study.

I am reading SFM from Rajiv Sir's book ..... if someone is doing the same .... then please let me know ...

refer Solved scanner.. will help a lot.. and just refer a single book..

warna yeh subject bahut jyada complex ho jaaega..

mujhe to is subject mein bahut jyada problem hui thi..and ho bhi rahi hai..

reason behind following a single book is :

Discount rate/ compound rate - etc topics are calculated by diff difff methods..

if a author uses a formula.. he follows it in whoe course..

if we take one ch from LETS Say .. book A.. and next ch From book 2..

the formulas used can be diff.. and will make lots of confusions..

and also increase d difficulty level..

CRUX-- follow a single book.. otherwise.. dis sub will create problems..

But exceptional students ko yeh sub problems nahi aati..koi bhi buk refer karen.. sub ACCHA hota hai..

i m avg student..thats why..said frm my experience..

nahi ...I don't wanna take any risk. I had already completed 40 pages in J.B.Gupta .... but left as book ...as I was finding it lengthy ...otherwise it was a nice book . I even asked my brother about it ....he said the book is fine..... So m gonna do forex and derivative chapter from this book .... and rest from makkar' sir's book .....

I want to complete the forex chapter by this week by anyhow ........

it's true if your concepts are right ....you won't have any problem while referring anybook. I couldn't understand the explanation provided by J.B.gupta ... but my answers were matching and I could explain my every word in my answer

just see question no 14 (4) . ..... Rs/ $ = Rs.46/46.25 it's correct quote.

But if u will solve the question no 11 ... you will find that question has been solved in different manner ...which is cumbersome to me.....

and if you check question no 14(3) .... you can see the same question in modified version in J.B.Gupta ...

May be his book is also like Kalra Sir's book ...if you are taking his coachings then you can understand everything otherwise you'll face too many doubts..... well r8 now m feeling doubted abt d book ....so really don't wanna continue with it in anyway.

Renu Singh:-

Ya i am taking class from kalra sir and i can understand rs/dollar quote which you mention in comment..........46/46.25

and it is correct quote, it means 1 dollar= Bid Rate-46 & Ask rate-46.25(Bank Point of view)-------Forex is easy Chapter But need Practice accourding to me
