As Vietnam proceeds towards the end of 2007 and prepares to enter the New Year of the Rat, the stock market here continues to grow and is still as flamboyant and as turbulent---and often as impressive!---as it has ever been during the 6 years since the first stock trading activity began in 2000. So where is the market headed? Insights into the present and the future will be offered by equities specialist Fiachra Mac Cana, including his "take" (his "Luncheon Wrap") on the upcoming Vietcombank IPO, arguably the hottest equities topic in Vietnam these days.
Fiachra's experience includes the past 4 years in Vietnam plus 18 years of experience in investment banking in London and Tokyo. Before joining VinaSecurities this past May he directed VinaCapital's Research Department in HCMC. Head of Research of Japanese Equities at WestLB from 1997 to 2003. Listed among the top 15 Japan strategists by Asia Money in 2003. A founder of the JCN Network, Japan's corporate business news leader.
