  • Accused but not guilty

    Accused but not guilty

    Zohreh vaalipour:
    The issue of women of Street is one of the most important social harms in the society that is rarely talked about But what is important is that as a social pain, we must seek a cure.
    The phenomenon of women of Street is present in all societies and unfortunately this phenomenon is emerging expandingly in our society as well Studies show that the age of prostitution is reduced to 10 years, and young girls who have just entered the job makeup a large portion of the population.
    The phenomenon of street women is the result of the escape of girls and women from the family, and the main cause of these escapes is various disorders of family life, and these disorders are more than just economic issues. It seems that women’s poverty and inability to provide the basic necessities of life, divorce, domestic violence and family
    disorders, forced marriage and men’s disloyalty, illiteracy, addiction, as well as emotional and emotional gaps, Low level of awareness, lack of personality development and personality disorders are the most important factors that cause this phenomenon.
    The issue of women of street is not limited to a specific time and place. It should be noted that there is no specific institution in the country that examines the problems of women of street. As a result, there are no reliable statistics to solve this problem. This leads to inventing unrealistic and exaggerated statistics by some experts. Therefore, due to the lack of accurate statistics, most of the projects presented by the state Welfare Organization regarding organization of this
    group of women have failed due to the non-acceptance of the community and officials, and in this regard, only positive
    culture building can be helpful.
    This famous saying that a woman of street won’t end up in the street confirms the above-mentioned issue. In fact, there should be a seeker so that women have something to offer. So, in this regard men are also deserved to be blamed.
    Street walking is a form of sexual harassment, and no woman is content to be a prostitute, but she does it out of necessity. In many cases, they are also victims of physical violence. They have been physically abused by the customer and even got killed.
    There is also a significant relationship between drug abuse and prostitution. Prostitutes often resort to drugs and psychotropic substances to cope with depression and difficult situations. In most cases, the couple (prostitute and her partner) are addicted to drugs, and their daily need to provide these drugs intensify their poverty and financial need.
    Sometimes these people are unaware of the threats to their life. Therefore, after entering this cycle, they are exposed to other harms, such as drug addiction, AIDS, violence and unprotected sexual intercourse. Continuation of this process leads to a larger problem called sexual addiction, which must be solved by appropriate psycho therapies.
    Women of street, like addicts, are not criminals, they are sick. The majority of these women are patients produced by poor social and economic functioning; To treat this disease, reactionary measures only will not be effective, but the causes and roots of the problem must be discovered and addressed.
    In fact, examining the situation of these people and elaborating on the reasons for the tendency of some women to leave family requires the cooperation of all government agencies related to this issue.
    These women believe that after falling into this vicious cycle it is not possible to get out of this mire. Therefore, it is better to provide a place of counseling for these people so that they can change their beliefs and return to the community. At first Some of these people have no idea what dangerous consequences are waiting for them. In these counseling centers, the consequences of such a decision as well as the various diseases that are likely to affect them, should be explained to these women. The government should provide funding for these women so that poverty does not force them to show such a reaction.
    Legally speaking, a woman must be protected before she become a street walker. Punishment alone does not prevent the future crimes, because prevention is not limited to punishment. Unfortunately, from a legal point of view, we do not have a law concerning specifically these women, and what is certain is that the country needs to pass special and transparent laws and start the activities of specialized support associations in relation to this class of society. Of course, the existence of such a legal protection for this group does not mean that prostitutes should be validated.
    Finally, given the important issue that these women are not criminals and should be treated as a social patient, it seems that the most important solution and suggestion needed to solve this social problem is to solve the problem of youth unemployment and marriage. Paying attention to the violence against women and girls in the family, increasing social vitality and cultural and educational programs for people’s leisure especially girls and women, holding appropriate and desirable training classes for girls to provide the necessary information in order to prevent these social harms are some solutions proven to be effective.

  • Stock Exchange market past to present

    Stock Exchange market past to present

    It was 47 years ago that stock exchange entered Iran. In fact, initial studies on the establishment of stock exchange in Iran had been date back to 1936. After a comprehensive and detailed analysis, Belgian “Ron Lotrefled “drafted the statute and internal regulations of exchange market and presented it to Iranian authorities but given the circumstances of that time and the outbreak of second world war outbreak, reviewing the plan of stablishing stock Exchange paused for a period of more than 25 years. the approval of the Stock exchange act in the Islamic consultative assembly (Majlis) can be regarded as the first step of creating the exchange market in Iran. The ministry of economic affairs then passed the law for enforcement to central bank and finally in 1962 an initial agreement on starting the exchange market in Iran was signed in a commission consisted of representatives of ministry of finance and ministry of commerce and also representatives of development of industry and mine bank. By the end of the same year (1962) a delegation of Brussels stock exchange headed by the stock exchange secretary general was invited to Iran in order to stablish a partnership in stablishing the stock exchange in Iran. After four years, in 1966 the Stock exchange act in the Islamic consultative assembly approved and then The ministry of economic affairs passed the law for enforcement to central bank. Almost a year after the communication of the law, in 1967 Tehran stock exchange officially started its activities by completing a number of dealings on development of industry and mine bank shares which was then the largest production and manufacturing sector. Exchange Wax and wane The stock market has experienced many ups and downs so far. From 1967 to 1978, the number of companies and institutions listed on Tehran Stock Exchange increased from 10 economic enterprises with a capital of 2.6 billion Rials to 142 companies with more than 308 billion Rials. With the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the number of companies accepted, was reduced from 105 to 56 at the end of 1988. The reason for this reduction has been the acquisition of many economic enterprises by the government. (Due to the nationalization of banks, insurance and some industries in the country, a large number of businesses listed on the stock exchange were excluded). The severe recession in the stock market during the eight years of the imposed war is also one of the important events in the Iranian stock exchange history. Currently, four major stock exchanges in the country operate under the supervision of the securities and exchange organization. Did the stock exchange fulfil its duties? Creating a capital resource for businesses, providing the possibility of foreign investment and creating a resource for the government budget are among the main features of the stock market. These factors were supposed to help Iran to transform its economy, but has the stock market contributed to economic growth? In a healthy economy and a dynamic stock market, financial resources can be enriched through the sale of stocks and bonds. It is possible to strengthen the sense of participation in the general public by investing their small capital in production and commercial activities, it is also possible to prevent the attraction of capitals by speculative activities. Engaging in speculative activities such as buying currency and sometimes properties, and nowadays buying a car, means withdrawing money from the production cycle, which means reducing employment and at the same time increasing unemployment and inflation. It is clear that developing a healthy economy and a dynamic stock exchange is not only achieved through slogans and the mere wish plan, but also the necessary infrastructures needs to be provided first؛ this is the role of the government and parliament to provide the essentials and perform in a lawful, determined and stable manner in their Economic policy-making in line with country›s vision plan and five-year economic development programs. Despite the limitations and problems ahead, the existence of provided potentials and needs has made the position of the stock exchange more prominent and important in recent years. Although the country›s stock market is in a privileged position in terms of demographic, industrial and economic indicators, the lack of necessary means and grounds for equal and widespread participation of resource owners in the Iranian capital market has led to a limited percentage of current capital provided by this market for small shareholders or even private sectors.

    limited geographical coverage of the capital market has made the stock exchange unknown in most parts of the country and this is also the reason for the low presence of companies operating in remote parts of the country in this market. The country›s economic thermometer It has contributed to countries’ economic growth and has a positive impact on the world economy as well. In general, it can be maintained that financial markets can play an important role in the economic development of countries and ultimately the development of the world economy by collecting small and major capitals and directing them to productive economic sectors, by encouraging individuals to invest in the stock market. As the economy of a country improves, other countries› will put an extran effort in accelerating their economic growth, and the stock market can help them greatly, as a result the world economy will prosper. The most important goal all countries and societies are striving to achieve, is economic growth and development. Providing a decent life for all members of society is always at the forefront of various goals and plans of countries, and the main factor in the development of societies is the growth of their economy. Investing in the stock market is very important in economic systems, in other words, it acts as an economic thermometer for countries. The role of the stock market in the economy of a country is a role that cannot be neglected. The story of the famous Wall Street Wall Street is currently the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock market in terms of trading volume and capital market value in the world. As the world›s major stock exchanges began to take the first step, other countries gradually gained stock, so much so that today there are few countries that do not have stock exchanges. If we look at the history of trade and financial exchanges in recent decades, we see the great revolution in the country›s economic system and even the world by Wall Street, the birthplace of most commercial transactions, because today Wall Street is home to America›s richest businessmen. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the world›s largest stock exchange in terms of trade and transactions, is the center of the largest economic units in the United States. Several major US stock exchanges, such as NASDAQ, USEX, the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYBOT), have been stablished in Wall street, the starting point of most business transactions. In September 1653, local residents, now New Yorkers, built a large wall on the island of Manhattan to protect themselves from local aggression and the invasion of Oliver Cromwell›s army. over time and by development of Manhattan, a street along that wall was built with the same name (Wall street) and the name still remains on it.

  • National gambling class

    National gambling class

    Dr. Mohsen Renani : The Iranian banking system has worked hard for 40 years to make majority of the Iranian people a loan shark. It has used all available means to reconcile people with notions such as bank, interest, insurance and stock exchange with which they had problem before the Islamic revolution. weakening the hardworking culture, these efforts paved the way for developing a ready-to-wear culture in the country. (in the same period that we introduced usury, the “usurer West” realized that for a continuous growth, interest rates have to be close to zero). If a profligate person starts spending money more wisely, a large portion of his/her income will be saved and he will be richer at the end of the year. While if everyone in a community decides to be economical and spends less, they will all be poorer at the end of the year. As a result, individual virtues will not necessarily be socially praiseworthy (and this is precisely the point that Faqihs do not pay attention to in policy-making and it becomes clear that the policy of promoting prayer or hijab causes more indifference or indecency). Gambling is also one of those phenomena that we may commit a fallacy of composition about. If gambling is a compulsive behavior in one person, it does not mean that gambling is a destructive phenomenon for every member of the society. In economics, we divide people into risk-taking, risk-averse and medium-risk individuals. Each of these three groups behaves differently. Iranian people are often risk-averse. I have an objective evidence for this claim and that is the interest rate. In societies where most people are willing to get loans at high interest rates, it means that they prefer today›s low interest to higher interest in the future. Iranian people strongly prefer today’s interest to that of tomorrow. This mood is also evident in the common proverb» A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.» The riskier a society is, the higher its time preference becomes and therefore the higher the expected return is. Why? Because by risk aversion, one is not willing to replace this year›s cash return with a risky profit next year, unless next year profits are substantial. In the modern world, a conservative, fatalist and risk-averse nation is not being developed. In the last forty years, our society has become accustomed to earning money through bank deposits, which has led it to be risk-averse, conservative and more convenient with ready-to-wear approach. Indeed, political and managerial instabilities have reinforced this trend. Our society must practice risk-taking and experience repeated losses and massive victories, it must enjoy gambling. We can see this in the words of Rumi “blessed the gambler who gambled all he had away, so was left with nothing but the desire to gamble”. A considerable part of the money flown into the stock market these days are small capitals belong to families. Many families have taken their money out of their bank accounts and bought stocks. Nearly 50 million people in Iran have Saham-e-Edalat, and now their share worth eleven times more. The sweet experience of a 50 percent increase in the value of a person›s capital within a single month makes everyone addicted to the stock market. The stock exchange is becoming a national gambling class for Iranians. And, of course, in a conservative and fatalist Iranian society, strengthening the spirit of gambling leads to improved rationality. We know that the science of statistics has been founded with gambling because professional gamblers needed to calculate their chances of winning and losing very accurately. So with very precise calculations, they chose the most rational way. People who are active in the stock market need to follow economic changeover, think and talk about them, and all these behaviors will lead to the development of public rationality in society. The government took a serious risk in expanding the stock market so quickly; Congratulations on this courage! Because based on economic knowledge, we know that if the stock market continues to rise or fall sharply as it does today, both trends will have serious negative consequences for national economy and they will soon become apparent. What a spectacular future for a gambler nation! Do not think that when a nation gambles, it only gambles on the stock market, it will take this gambling spirit to all areas!

  • Stock exchange notes

    Stock exchange notes

    Darya Ghodrati pour : Good old days! when we wanted to buy a second-hand car we used to go to one of those used-car lots. Then there was an experienced man advised us that one should consider twenty factors to buy a car and we didn›t know with how many of those twenty factors we were familiar. We have put almost the same thing on the stock market, with a huge difference, we don›t even know the basics of the stock market yet. But there are many offers and we have a bull market to attend. They say “Blind men can judge no color” so the stock market should not be viewed superficially because it runs a high risk and experts and actively engaged people in this market believe that the stock market is a complex phenomenon, runs a high risk and investment requires patience and expertise. Accordingly, it is better for people who have no or limited information about the stock market and are not sufficiently familiar with it, to gain relevant information about it. The stock market is no longer like that second-hand car we wanted to buy; There are many items to buy and sell and if you are not an expert, you will be definitely the loser of this game! Interestingly, sometimes an economic rush grows so emotional that it gets out of control. We rush for more profit, more money and we hasten to multiply our capital but sometimes in the end we lose even the pittance we had initially. Overall we are a group of very emotional people who always live in confusion. A friend of mine used to say a social impact should be the product of its own time. What can we do when the speed of the current era is increasing too impetuously to catch up? The same goes for stock market. When the stock market of all countries, including Wall Street, has slumps heavily, how can our country, given different problems of the stock market, be on top in a couple of months? All of these are happening in a situation where a 50 million tomans car, found itself worth 90 million tomans in a short span of time, gold equals to an elixir and the price of gold coin is supposed to exceed 7 million tomans channel. I have no idea how it is possible not to lag behind the economy. like a little turtle trying to catch the economy arrow already fired years before….

  • Stock exchange will make companies visible

    Stock exchange will make companies visible

    Having mentioned that stock exchange can play an effective role in the economy, CEO of pars Holding said: Stock exchange will make companies visible and shed light on their different aspects including costs, revenues and so on. When a company enters stock exchange, visibility will increase and financial corruption will be prevented to a great extent, Dr. Meisam Shekarisaz added. According to shekarisaz if stock exchange would be stablished in the structure of governmental and private organizations, financial circles will become more clear and positive outcomes will be achieved. Maintaining that stock exchange contributes to companies’ survival and sustainability, CEO of Pars Holding said: with the help of stock exchange, companies will no longer rely on individuals. “in this situation collective interests come up and since shareholders of the companies are different people, companies’ sustainability will increase. In normal situations where an individual is the only shareholder, companies may go out of business without that individual”, He added. Shekarisaz mentioned that entering companies into Stock exchange is an important and happy event that can play a crucial role in government’s control and supervision of country’s imports. CEO of pars Holding added: with entering into stock exchange, companies can no longer involve in tax evasion and in fact tax avoidance will be practically eliminated. He then went on to say that receiving accommodations is another positive aspect of getting into stock exchange. It means that if those companies need different bank facilities increase the visibility of their activities, they can easily develop their projects by having these accommodations. Dr.shekarisaz as an entrepreneur believes that business valuation is another benefit of Stock exchange. With valuation, the brand of the company for which the founder may have suffered a lot will exist even after transferring the business ownership to another person. “sometimes companies spend years to educate their staff and when the ownership is transferred to another company, the valuation report is only about their supplies and facilities and their human resource has been often neglected.

    However, if the same company enters the stock exchange, its brand will remain and a logical valuation will be carried out” he added. CEO of Pars Holding expressed his regret over Iran’s not having considered this any sooner and asserted that in fact, stock exchange is of crucial importance. Pointing out that in Canada even small businesses enter stock exchange and everything is completely visible, shekarisaz said: nevertheless, in our country most of industrial companies and automobile manufacturers and other parties are running by private sectors which is a major weakness. With regard to the question that whether he is also on the opinion that the current index is a kind of stock exchange bubble, he answered: yes, it is true and the reason is that an enormous volume of liquidity has entered stock exchange and caused some concerns as well. Shekarisaz Highlighted that stock exchange itself has no grounds to worry about and acts like a double edged knife that can be used either correctly or inappropriately. “what is now happening in our stock exchange is that many companies that have no significant growth in the last three months, have seen their value increased considerably and the reason is this enormous volume of liquidity that has entered stock exchange. I am totally positive about stock exchange but the threatening part of it is that sometimes profiteers and swindlers profit from the troubled situation of the market” Dr.shekarisaz said. Pars Holding Chief Executive Officer warned that these swindlers are fishing in troubled waters and entice people to buy shares they want to sell and said: Generally, the supply and demand rule is there and when demands for something increases, the price shoot up and people think they are making a profit. He also added that increased demand will inevitably result in increased prices and in this situations some people buy shares in order to set a trend. Then they sell whole shares When their profit realizes and as a result inflict a serious loss to many others. Irritating that even in order to become a successful driver one needs proper trainings let alone functioning in stock exchange, shekarisaz said: fundamental and technical trainings are essential for people who wish to enter this market and it is sad to see that many bankrupted firms have a substantial share of the market without doing something special. “during several meetings with the minister of economic affairs and finance, it has been agreed that people have to participate in some special training courses before they can collect their exchange identification code. This was a suggestion and I hope to achieve necessary success in this regard” shekarisaz explained. He stressed that all firms that enjoy a powerful private support will become successful in stock exchange. Having Unfair sanctions and decreased oil sales ahead, we have no choice but to concentrate on our domestic potentials. “if all the governmental and private firms are directed in the right path and enter stock exchange actively, we will enjoy an atmosphere similar to that of developed countries and Iran stock exchange will have a bright future. With regard to entering knowledge enterprises to stock exchange Dr.Shekarisaz asserts that these firms have a unique face in the market and since the world is moving toward an economy with high value added and limited materials, entering such firms into stock exchange leads to improved efficiency. In his concluding remark Dr.shekarisaz noted that proving a framework within which elites create exchange requirements and proceed to enter into over-the-counter (OTC)exchange, can lead to a promising future for them.

  • Economic game of these days

    Economic game of these days

    For the sake of a handful of exchange

    Dr.M. shekareesaz These days, we are in the company of stock market because of the capital that has been wandering so far and now is supposed to enter into the stock market. Now, whether we like it or not, stock exchange is viral in our daily conversations. A stock exchange that has even entered into Saham-e- Edalat and has become the emperor of the capital market these days. A double standard with which some agree and others say that all this controversy over stock exchange, is pointless. There is the government standing on one side, and on the other hand, there are some economic activists who believe that all of this is propaganda and is like a bubble that is not clear how long it will last and may explode at any moment. However, stock market policy is the best word to describe the days when we do everything we can to raise a small amount of capital for the stock market and multiply its value. Although many say that such a remark on the market in which huge capitals is exchanged is a superficial and unreliable one. But as speculators take the control of the stock market, the market takes on a different meaning, with profiteers taking advantage of the situations they have set up. The fact is that if speculation is widespread in an economic market, it can seriously damage the health of that market. However, some people agree with the opposite and say that the entry of these people into the stock market will provide market liquidity and reduce the gap between the offered purchase and sale prices. It also enables manufacturers to cover the risk of their products. However, we have to accept the fact that our country has suffered from different types of serious problems due to sanctions, but this is not a reason for different lifestyles to be adopted by the majority of sections of society. This is because our people get most of their information from unreliable media or Telegram channels that want to make a profit by creating tension. showing surprising and unreasonable figures and highlighting market turmoil, these telegram channels play a key role in media for the benefit of those who want to disturb people’s peace. The huge gap between real Prices in the official market and much higher prices that are mere speculations is the proof of this argument. Endless unfounded prices can sometimes jeopardize people›s capital markets and create a bubble that will provoke further problems. All this is happening at a time when it seems there is no supervision over these advertisements, everyone walks their own path and sends their own message. It doesn›t matter whether they disagree or agree, they push highly subjective ideas to the market that heads to nowhere among social media rumors.
