Let the stock market be
We were dismayed to read yesterday's stock market article published in The Daily Star. We have to realise that the situation today is quite different from that of 1996 or 2011. With 25percent more shares in the market compared to 2011, a DSEX index of above 7000 would have been more rational and pragmatic. The above index would have reflected the strength of the market and the confidence of the 'now mature' investors. The index was abysmally low last year, contrary to expectations, but it is bound to go up as the country develops. Periodic ups and downs are normal. We must refrain from harming the stock market and allow the natural flow of events.
