	Finally SFM
	Hey Guys SFM is a subject where your conceptual knowledge is tested and not your speed of writing like costing.
	
	HEY GUYS, DONT THINK I AM PROPOGATING A BOOK HERE, I AM THE LAST PERSON TO DO THAT AS EACH ONE HAVE THEIR OWN COMFORT FACTOR. 
	SINCE I AM FROM SOUTH INDIA, I HAVE LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE AUTHORS FOR SFM FROM NORTH INDIA. 
	I HAVE USED PADHUKAS, MURALIDHARAN, PATTABHI, SD BALA AND AN.SRIDHAR. 
	I FOUND AN SRIDHAR TO BE THE BEST AVAILABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT CONCEPTUAL EACHING FOUND BEST HERE. EVERY CHAPTER HAS 80% THEORY AND 20% PROBLEMS WHICH ARE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO GET 60 MARKS IN OUR PAPER AS MOST OF THEM HAVE GOT.
	As far as the chapters to cover go,
	1. IFM
	2. Mergers and acquisitions
	
	3. Bonds and Equity analysis and portfolio theory.
	4. Theory in all topics, preferably new syllabus topics.
	
	5. Capital budgeting and financing.
	This will ensure 90% of the paper. 
	If u look at AN.Sridhar, maximum problems would be 200 all put together. would take 2-3 days to complete.
	Please spend 3 days to master SFM and score 60 minimum. less than 60 is not your cup of tea. Please rush to the shop if u are a south indian and get this book. 
	People in north India, I dont know about the books there, so cant comment on them but you can take my word and work thisbook. I guarentee 60 60 60
