Guest Lecture by Mr. Ramesh Damani


A guest lecture was organized by the Eco Forum on the 19th of November 2007. The eminent speaker invited for the lecture was Mr. Ramesh S. Damani, member of the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and a broker for over 16 years. Mr. Damani is also a well known host of the TV show, “Dalals of Wall Street” on CNBC TV 18 and a frequent commentator on financial issues on CNBC and NDTV news. The topic for the guest lecture was - “THE BULL RUN” The Stock market boom – Is it real???

Mr. Ramesh Damani commenced the lecture by highlighting the major bull runs over past century. He spoke about the dynamics behind a bull run and the dimensions attached to it viz. price and time. He also gave some basic rules for novice investors such as invest early, think long-term and hold on to your investments. Towards the end, a short question and answer session was held during which questions related to future trends of the stock market, impact of population on growth rage and the impact of BRIC countries on the global economy was discussed.

Overall, the event was an enriching experience for all the participants who came away with a better understanding of complex financial issues. We look forward to more such interesting lectures organized by the Eco Forum, who deserve kudos for a job well done.
