NBS-BT Roundtable Series: Information Risk in Stock Trading

27 July 2009

STOCK markets around the world have rallied significantly in the first half of this year, erasing much of the losses suffered since last September's financial meltdown. For instance, the Singapore stock market saw a 38.7 per cent surge in its market capitalisation to $545 billion at end-June, a 10-month high since last August and shortly before the Lehman Brothers collapse sparked a stampede out of equities globally.

In an ongoing Nanyang Business School-Business Times Roundtable discussion series, senior professors and a research scholar at Nanyang Technological University's business school look into the issue of information risk and its impact on stock market investors and practitioners like stock analysts, portfolio managers, stock remisiers and dealers.
