TEA near BSE

After NISM workshop is over myself and Mr Srinivasan, PhD Scholar with Pondichery University have gone to BSE.

1. Here I could feel the seductive nature of stockmarket as the participants gather watching around the ticker. This reminded me of the feelings expressed by Victor Niederhoffer on Visiting NYMEX floor.


2. Volatility of markets is a contributing feature to the seduction of stockmarket. Market will die if there is no volatility. I think many academic papers are starting to recognise and defferentiate between information induced volatility and spurious volatility.


3. We have visited major bookstores like Bookzone & Sterling book house & Strandbook stall near CST railway station.


4. We have spent time near Gateway of India and taken photographs at TajHotel.
