I'm looking for a good financial calculator program for my TG.
Something with TVM, B/S pricing, bond calc, depreciation, statistics and solver function.

Tried PowerOne Finance 3.0 (shareware) on my TG50, but doesn't seem to be compatible...coz I keep getting "Fatal Alert" message.
Probably it's not compatible with OS5?
Too bad, seems to be very good one... :(

Anyone has tried PowerOne Finance (ver.3.0)?
Or any other suggestions?
Thanks.

I use PowerOne Finance without problems on my NX. Hmmm...

PowerOne Finance is the only solution that you have. I use version 4 and it works very nicely. However, I am still used to HP-12c so I carry around the actual HP-12c most of the times. (HP-12c doesn't do B/S nor has solver functions...)

I got an HP 17 and a 19 off Ebay. I use them often. You can put the B/S equation into them.

True. I used to use 17BII, and I could do B/S equations using its solver. 12c unfortunately doesn't have that functionality.

powerOne Finance's modules, including B/S, are quite good. I know some people (read from PalmGear) were complaining about lack of greeks in B/S module in powerOne, but then again, I know no calculator with such a functionality.

If your needs are basic, PowerOne Personal has free plugins that does some basic BS analysis and TVM calculations, among other things. The emphasis here is on "basic".

Heard from colleague that only Powerone version 4 above (latest is 4.2?) is compatible with OS5...therefore works with my TG.
But the price somehow discourage me to get one...

I guess i'd better stick with my HP..
Anyone?

I just came across this new entry for those who are attached to the HP12-C. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but thought I'd post this for those interested.
