SEBI institute to train investors Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is setting up a dedicated training and research institute to train investors and other stakeholders in the securities market. The institute, to be set up near Mumbai, would have six different schools which would train investors and explain to them various facets of the capital market, SEBI Chairman, Mr M. Damodaran, has said. "This institute will be the first of its kind in the world, run by a regulator,'' he said. The institute would have different academic programmes, including a Ph.D on capital market, Mr Damodaran said. He said 60 per cent of the faculty members would be drawn from India and SEBI has tied up with some experts in the US and the UK, who would mould the investors 'to work in a healthy market.'

Let's hope and pray that the faculty does not include the TAUs and FAUs we see on biz channels.
Actually, reading TED should be made mandatory part of the syllabus.

Ph.D on capital market?
____________________________________________________________
I think that should be for devising an option strategy. Keep it simple should be the message.Read books by Buffet, Graham, Livermore, Lynch. We do not need new course ware.
All those students should be asked to put their own money in the market. How do you teach a person the power to handle his emotion. Investing is 50% skill and 50% emotion and a person who attempts 50 in a paper of 100 will find it tough to pass.I am sure SEBI will incorpoorate these things in the course ware because otherwise it would not meet its objective.

| What I think is, it is one of the few initiatives taken by Mr. Damodaran to educate investors. Since long he is talking a lot about investors education. But one thing is not clear, whether they will provide training to individual investors to take proper judgement and become comfortable with the market OR they will impart training to prospective financial managers for opening a career opportunity ? Because they are talking about starting PHD courses, in which I think no individual investor will be interested. |

Let's hope SEBI keeps these thoughts in mind...
I emphasise the word 'simple' because I believe that business is simple. Most people try to make it complex because they are trained to think that way. In fact many try to justify their jobs by making things complex.---Kishore Biyani (page 18 It Happened in India)
The business schools reward difficult and complex behaviour more than simple behaviour, but simple behaviour is more effective. --- Warren Buffett ------------- Life can only be understood backwards—but it must be lived forwards |

Dalal Street may gain on Stern School expertise Stern School aspirants have something to cheer. The National Institute of Securities Markets plans to launch a two-year programme focussing primarily on securities markets in collaboration with the top US B-school.
People come to the markets and learn on the job. The idea is to have a pure-play securities markets course, which is the need of the hour
...course, which is scheduled to begin in August -September 2009, will have an initial intake of around 200 students.

Welcome to TED. With the kind of markets I doubtr if that course will have any takers now. But instaed of putting your time and effort there I urge you to read some books on the subject that is worth more then a PHD.
