B schools start market trading lessons.. hahahaha..

You can call it awakening (I am not talking about B School. It's awakening of news channels.)

Wanted to laugh about this news. It sounds less like news and more like a publicity stunt for a selected B school which happened to "tip off" the story. To give the story some more credibility, they have added name of IIM also. Here is the story published on IBN Live. Great that they have started teaching investment now but if that means playing moneybhai on moneycontrol then I think the news piece and also the introduction of course is too little too late.

First because what happened in the market was unprecedented and second that virtual money can't teach you about the feelings that comes after investing real money. (Those who have played moneybhai will subscribe to my thought because there you buy or short sell like anything but with your own money it's like near impossible to do things like that).

Well, not to mention that we are learning investment management since last one month (most of the B schools have similar courses like that except that they keep quiet) and about 40-50% students play with their real money. We believe that B schools are not just a place to live in the virtual world but rather it's a place where you learn to take risk and most importantly you learn to grow your own spine.

Grow some spine kids.
