Sir, I would like request to you for purchasing patent right for my achievement. Sir, I have completed these research papers since last 2 year for the benefit of entire community used. I also tried to face recent financial crisis to all through simplifying all financial measurement and to revise key financial theory with analytical as well as technical analysis. This book's price may be Rs. 400 where financial software's price may be Rs. 20000. Besides this in my book is included all financial measurement but financial software is depend on few items not all measurement of finance. One very important point is through financial software only is to measure financial solution but can not take any decision which is suitable for organization. My book can fulfill all types of needs. As this is a new types of book (alternative to financial software) I belief this book would widely sell throughout world wide due to its affordability, easiness and decision making solution.
