When going through FDP s , Seminars and workshops in the past one month several observations came to my mind.
- Many Finance teachers are biased by their own limited experiences in Stock Market and try to generalise it.
- Teachers giving advice on investments at random, advising students to play with some money.
- I would like focussing on Data, Statistics and not imposing myopinions.
- The good examples are Bodie, Kane, Marcus Text on Investments and Ajay Shah's India's Financial Markets, JR Verma's DRM book.
- The danger in this process is either the professors are becoming too cynical or too enthusiastic.
- Anecdotal examples have to be kept to the bare minimum.
- Always trying to examine data from NSE , taking the market design from NCFM workbooks gives solid foundation. NCFM series now is a fairly comprehensive series consisting of all topics.
- The common negative perception of Speculation and traders in the market blinds the finance teacher from truly comprehending their importance in providing liquidity and other issues.
