Must watch Reply of S D Bala, Pattabhi Ram SFM book

friends....there has been lot of talk on cci on sfm book that SD BALAs book skips many topic,, i have mail to auther  regarding this and some another query....his reply is as follows...

""Dear Ketan

 
The book on SFM has NOT skipped any topics except that it has not covered Technical Analysis. The idea was that with students having access to ICAI MATERIAL , they would read the tech analysis from there where it is reasonabaly well written.
 
In the writing of a text book at the CA level, it is important to provide students with a framework of items on the leading edge and not be geting down to placing each small piece of obscure theory.
 
It may be interesting to notice that ICAI revised material uses the pattern used in this book to discuss Portfolio Management.
 
I would be most happy to respond to which specific topic has been left out; it is hard to respond to a broad statement that says  "it skips many topics"

good step taken..

it means they r asking that they assume that the students also should use institute module.  so students be carefull

a welcome move from u.......

Author is right. The book does not omit any chapter or topic. Whatever has not been covered by the book is irrelevant to exam point of view. I had used only that book  and I had got 60+ marks in SFM.

thx man... uve really cleared our doubts.....just buy this book and chill

*PEACE*
