Saving Financial Markets understanding from Finance Teachers

When going through FDP s , Seminars and workshops in the past one month several  observations came to my mind.


  1. Many Finance teachers are biased by their own limited experiences in Stock Market and try to generalise it.
  2. Teachers giving advice on investments at random, advising students to play with some money.
  3. I would like focussing on Data, Statistics and not imposing myopinions.
  4. The good examples are  Bodie, Kane, Marcus Text on Investments and Ajay Shah's India's Financial Markets, JR Verma's  DRM book.
  5. The danger in this process is either the professors are becoming too cynical or too enthusiastic.
  6. Anecdotal examples have to be  kept to the bare minimum.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
