Hi Rahul,

The original book will cost you Rs. 7000

For FRM, 4th Edition Handbook, 2008 Core Readings, Schweser and Hull will Suffice.

Buying Individual books are NOT recommended.

Cheers,

Shyam

HI shyam,
i checked out the price for handbook at sterling book store ( near church gate).. its available there for Rs 920 (after discount).. So i was thinking of buying the original as the price difference isnt much from the laxmi plus i will be satisfied about the authenticity of material..

Hi,

Let me clarify to you that Sterling Book Depot does not stock Financial Books - Its sister concern BOOKZONE(Just opp Sterling) Stocks all Finance related Books.

I regularly buy books from both of these stores, So I am 200% confident that the Sterling Guy has misheard the Name of the Book.

There is no Indian edition of Philip Jorion Handbook. Again, Bookzone mainly imports all the books, except for some Indian Editions.

I would request you to double check the book in Hand. Also visit Bookzone.

cheers,

Shyam

hello everybody,
it seems that tempo is building up on this thread as is clear from level of participation of people on this thread. not to mention that shyam is doing a great job. also i see rahul.igidr is bit enthusiastic about the exam. by the way rahul i u from economics stream from igidr mumbai if so then do inform me as then both of us are sailing in same boat myself being ma(economics). also as far as debate regarding gujarati is going on then i would like to say that basic econometrics will be no substitute for essential econometrics as the topics given in AIM statements are not covered in desired way in basic econometrics, it just mentions these topics in appendix in a very light way and assumes u people are familiar with the topics and just need a brush up before starting with hardcore econometrics stuff. hence i think essential econometrics is very different from basic ecomtrics. also i should mention that it is basic econometrics that is more comon in market hence if u go to buy from market dont forget to stress on ESSENTIAL econometrics. hope this ends confusion regarding gujarati. but i also have my own set of problems and hope shyam and other will try to solve it

1. i want to ask people of finance background how much of the frm course did they already have covered in there finance course and which topics are completely alien to them as is to other people of non fin background. as far as my guess goes finance guys are also equally blank about the operational risk part of course. major portions covered already are if i m correct market risk, credit risk, Var . if it be not so then please inform me so that i get an idea about how much extra effort i have to put being non fin background. also if these topics have been covered then were they covered at same depth.

2. also can anybody suggest me the sequence in which i should start studying so that i cover course in most effetive way for eg can i straight away jump to credit or operational risk portion if i desire to do so. i must tell i tried to read the securitisation stuff in credit risk and had smoke coming out of my ears was it bc of wrong sequence of studying

[Rahul.igidr]

HI shyam,
yes you are right. Handbook is at bookzone only. I mailed the bookzone guy and asked about the handbook and he quoted me the above mentioned price for the book. All the conversation was through e mail so there is no question of not hearing things properly. I will re check the book before buying and i am thinking of visiting the bookstore this weekend.
