Kirubakaran Rajendran, Create second source of income, www.squareo.in
AnsweredApr10,2016
With a population of 1.25 Billion people in India, total demat account holders in India
is less than 1.5 crores. Which is comparatively very very less in India.
As per National Securities Depository Limited, total investor accounts in India is 1.45 1
crores. Out of these active account will be very less.
Many beginners read about spectacular tales about rages to riches just like many
answers already posted here. But they tend to ignore the failure stories. There are
many investors who have lost substantial wealth investing in Indian equities. One
such story is DLF.
Consider if an individual with a decent monthly income, who always dream about
buying his own house, if instead of buying an apartment, if he had invested the same
amount, say Rs. 40 lacs in this Company in the year 2008, his total returns as of
today would be just Rs. 4 lacs now. He cannot even make a down payment for a home
loan now with this money.
He would have lost 90% of his investment by now. For every one or two millionaire
investor stories we hear, there are many untold misfortune stories we tend to ignore.

Pramod Kumar, Studying Indian Stock Markets since 1977

UpdatedDec26,2016
The Success Story We Love To Talk About:
Stock Markets are fascinating. Indian Stock Markets can compete with the rest of
world for the success stories, scandals, intrigue and the tales of disasters.
It is said that Stock Markets are the barometer of a nations economic progress. It is
often debated but the majority argument favors this statement.
The NIFTY index started with a Base of 1000 and currently is at around 8260 having
irted with 9000 level in March 2015. at present level, it reects a compounded gain
of about 11% annually.
This gain is more than what any other asset class delivered.
Then there are the great stories of Infosys, Wipro, Eicher Motors giving unimaginable
returns on investment.
But there are two sides of every coin.
The Story Nobody Likes To Tell
In the NIFTY index, there are 50 stocks ( NIFTY actually means NSE FIFTY ).
( Oddly, though at present there are 51 )

These stocks are based mainly on market capitalization. When a constituent loses 1
value signicantly, it is removed from index and replaced by another stock. No one
talks of these stocks which got removed.
They were the stars of the day at some point of time and are duds today. Those were
the investment ideas of that time and relegated to horror stories now. I will talk about
this aspect which no one talks about.
The Wealth Destroyers:
These stocks may be not in favor presently, but were the avor of the month at their
prime. They were part of the NIFTY index or otherwise very highly regarded and
traded. Today they are shunned and forgotten, but there are real people holding these
stocks wondering how they will ever recover their money. NIFTY going up does not
have a meaning for them.
1. Reliance Communication:
On Jan 08, 2008 , the stock traded at a lifetime high of Rs. 844.70
The lifetime low was few days ago on Nov 24, 2016 at Rs. 34.30
( Image Showing All Time High and Low Price of Reliance Communication )
The last price on Dec 09, 2016 was Rs. 36.90
Presently it is at 4.36% of its peak value.
It is no longer a part of NIFTY.
2. Suzlon Energy:
The huge fall in this stock made me look for other similar stories.
It was added to NIFTY in 2006. In 2008, it traded above Rs. 2000 and then there was a
stock split. The comparison is made taking into account the eect of splitting.
The lifetime High- Jan 09, 2008 Rs. 412.88
The lifetime Low August 28, 2013 Rs. 5.70

1
( Image Showing All Time High and Low Price of Suzlon Energy )
Present price December 09, 2016 Rs. 14.75
At the lowest price, it was at just 1.38% of the peak price.
Today it is at 3.57% of the highest value.
And the funny part is:
You will get to hear on business channels that Suzlon Energy has gained 158% in last
three years.
3. Unitech:
It was a NIFTY stock in 2008. It was valued highly and was at a high of Rs. 546.80 on
January 2, 2008.
( Image showing All Time High and Low Prices of Unitech Ltd. )
What is the current price?
Rs. 4.80
It is less than 1% of the high price.
Can the investor ever expect to make good their losses?
4. DLF:
From a high of Rs. 1225 in January 2008 , it trades for around Rs. 114 today.
1
( Image Showing Historical High and Low Prices of DLF )
Current price is 9.3% of the high value. Appears better than the others listed above,
but 90% loss is not something to be taken lightly.
Even if it goes up by 100%, it will be nowhere near 1225.
5. Himachal Futuristics:
In December 2000, I had bought for Rs. 1560 on one day and sold for Rs. 1605 next
day. A day later it was Rs. 1675. I blamed myself for not taking prot.
I got into a new job. Did not trade for a few months, even did not look at the prices
and market movement.
I was shocked when I saw a price of Rs. 90 in April 2001.
Today it trades at Rs 12.65.
Do you know what was the highest price?
Rs. 2578.05 on March 08, 2000.... (more)

Amit Jeswani, Founder at Stallion Asset, CFA (USA) & CMT (USA)
AnsweredDec26,2016
I am the Founder of Mumbai Based Equity Advisory company Stallion Asset. As a Kid
and even today I am a guy who gets awwed by events which happen in history by
great traders (Paul Tudor Jones), Operators (jesse Livermore), and Corporates
decisions.
Today i am sharing a story for Dhribhai Ambani, The man who changed the way
business was done in India. I am going to write about how he screwed up Short
Sellers of Reliance Industry which caused the whole stock market to be shut for
3 days.
1
Dhirubai Ambani never Broke any rules, He changed them to his favor.
India's biggest private sector company Reliance went public through its initial public
oering (IPO) in October 1977, when it issued 28 Lakhs equity shares of Rs 10 each.
Thereafter the company frequently raised money through convertible debentures.
Reliance often expanded its equity via right and bonus but it was through the use of
convertible debentures that Dhirubhai (Ambani) made his big splash in the capital
markets.
After the IPO, the share price of Reliance kept climbing. "In the rst year of listing,
1978, Reliance had reached a high of Rs 50, ve times the par value of the share, which
was a high premium in those times. In 1980 it hit Rs 104...and in 1982 it reached a high
of Rs 186." In early 1982 Reliance announced a rights issue of partly convertible
debentures. Partially convertible debentures are used to borrow money from
investors. They payout a certain rate of interest for a specic period and a part of
those debentures is then converted into shares on a later date.
A cartel of bear operators , supposedly from Kolkata, started short selling shares of
Reliance . Short selling is a transaction where investors sell shares they do not own, in
the hope that the price of the share will fall and they can pick it up at a lower price
and make delivery at a later date. The selling pressure was intense on March 18,
creating a half-hour of panic just before the close. The bears sold 350,000 Reliance
shares, causing the price to fall quickly from Rs 131 to Rs 121.
Just before the rights (issue) was to open for subscription , the bears sensed that the
management of the company was articially keeping the price of the shares high to
ensure full subscription to the rights issue. Accordingly , they started short selling
Reliance shares.
The Idea for the bears was - Reliance is Overvalued as the promoters had kept
the stock price articially high with bonus. They Believed that if they can get
the stock price down to about 100/per share from 131/Per share, cash starved
reliance industry would not be able go through its right issue and premium
valuations would come down substantially
The Stock Price of Reliance went from 120 in March went to 201/Per Share in
April. The more the Stock Price would go up, the more the large Kolkatta based
brokers would short as they believed there is no-one who is bigger than them in
Market and who could take on the delivery. The more the bears sold - the numbers
got to 1.1 million shares - the more NRI investors 'based in West Asian countries'
picked up. Eventually they bought more than 800,000 shares sold by the bears. This
left everybody bewildered on who was buying Reliance shares. These investors 1
evidently spent around Rs 10 crore buying Reliance shares.
During those days settlement of shares at the Bombay Stock Exchange used to
happen every second Friday unlike the current T+3 working days settlement. So in
this particular case the bears who had short sold Reliance shares, had to either deliver
those shares on the settlement day or pay something known as an undha badla, in
case they did not have the shares required for delivery, to carry over the transaction to
the next settlement date. Undha badla was a per share charge that the bears had to
pay the bulls in case they did not have the shares required for delivery on the
settlement day.
On April 30, the NRI investors who had been buying the shares of Reliance being
short sold by the bears, demanded delivery of the shares. In case, the bears did not
have the shares, the investors demanded an undha badla of Rs 25 per share. As
McDonald writes "The bear cartel, throwing the exchange into a crisis that shut it
down until the following Wednesday. In the following days the price of Reliance
shares rose to a peak of Rs 201 as the bear brokers located shares to fulll their sales."
The need to make the delivery of Reliance shares ensured that the price of the
Reliance shares remained high in the days to come. "The prices of Reliance shares
remained high in the days following the incident because of persistent buying by the
entrapped bears. It was rumored that the major supplier of share certicates to the
market during that period was none other than the late Dhirubhai Ambhai, the
chairman and managing director of the company. By merely routing his shares
through the desperate bears, he extracted a handsome penalty through price
dierence. The bears bought the shares at high prices from him and delivered it back
to him at the contracted price of Rs 150.
Conclusion - Reliance was a Overvalued Stock, Kolkatta based Operators went

short on it, the stock price was tanking. Dhrirubai Ambani Started buying the
stock and kept on Buying the Stock at higher levels. The Short Operator couldn't
pay the margin and had to cover their stock even though didnt want to at the
massive premium to fair value. The fact that Dhrirubai Ambani should guts to
buy its own overvalued stock only to sell it at extremely overvalued prices
showed that he was the master of his game.

A story about Rakesh Jhunjhunwala (needs no introduction I guess)
Once Rakesh's mother pointed out that he puts his money only in paper (shares) and
never buy physical assets such as property.
So, to please his mother's wish, he bought a at in Malabar Hill in 2004 by selling 27
crore worth of Crisil shares (one of his key holdings). He sold that at for 48 crore in
April 2015.
Had he not sold those Crisil shares back then, they would have been worth 700
crore plus a 50-crore dividend (as of April 2015).
The power of this asset class is mind blowing. But alas, easier said then done. Not
dicult for him though. He has proved it with his 3 key holdings - Titan, Lupin, and
Crisil. A champion investor indeed!

My answer is divided into the heritage and the latest statistics of the Indian
exchanges.
Which is the securities market rst to set up demutualised stock exchanges in the
World? Which is the securities market rst to use satellite communication technology
for securities transactions? Which is the securities market rst to introduce the
straight through processing in securities transactions? Which is one of the largest
market for stock futures? Which securities market started real time on line position
monitoring of brokers? Which is the securities market where trading terminals go o
automatically when the margins are exhausted? Probably answer to all of these is the
Indian securities market. This has earned a place of respect amongst the comity of
securities markets in the World.
History:
Though the historical records relating to securities market in India is meagre and
obscure, there is evidence to indicate that the loan securities of the East Indian
Company used to be traded towards close of the 18th century. By 1830s, the trading in
shares of banks started. The trader by the name of broker emerged in 1830 when 6
persons called themselves as share brokers. This number grew gradually. Till 1850,
they traded in shares of banks and securities of the East India Company in Mumbai
under a sprawling Banyan Tree in front of the Town Hall, which is now in the
Horniman Circle Park. It is no surprise that the majestic Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers is 1
located at the Horniman Circle. In 1850, the Companies Act introducing limited
liability was enacted heralding the era of modern joint stock company which
propelled trading volumes.
The American Civil War broke out in 1861 which cut o supply of cotton from the USA
to Europe. This heightened the demand for cotton from India. Cotton prices
increased. Exports of cotton grew, payments were received in bullion. The great and
sudden spurt in wealth produced by cotton price propelled setting up companies for
every conceivable purpose. Between 1863 and 1865, the new ventures raised nearly
Rs.30 crore in the form of paid up capital and nearly Rs. 38 crore of the premia. Rarely
was a share which did not command a premium between 1861 and 1865. The Back Bay
Reclamation share with Rs.5,000 paid up was at Rs.50,000 premium, the Port
Canning share with Rs. 1,000 paid up was at Rs.11,000 premium, etc. There was a
share mania and everybody was after a piece of paper, variously called allotments,
scrips and shares. The people woke up only when the American Civil war ended.
Then all rushed to sell their securities but there were no buyers. They were left with
huge mass of unsaleable paper. This occurred then. This also occurs today at regular
intervals (SNBomb and the sudden liquidity crunch is a very fresh example). Little
seems to have changed since then; the bubbles and burst continue to be a perennial
feature of the securities market world over.
The depression was so severe that it paved way for setting up of a formal market. The
number of brokers, which had increased during the civil war to about 250, declined.
During the civil war, they had become so inuential and powerful that even the police
had only salams for them. But after the end of the civil war, they were driven from
pillar to post by the police. They moved from place to place till 1874 when they found
a convenient place, which is now appropriately called Dalal Street after their name.
They organized an informal association on or about 9th July 1875 for protecting their
interests. On 3rd December 1887, they established a stock exchange called Native
Share and Stock Brokers Association. This laid the foundation of the oldest stock
exchange in India, the BSE. The word native indicated that only natives of India
could be brokers of the Exchange.

1. The Sensex started from 100 in 1979 and crossed the 30000 mark in
2015.The index plummeted by over 1,624 points on 24 August 2015, the
biggest one-day point plunge in the index's history.The biggest ever gain
was over 2100 points on 18 May 2009.
2. MARUTI tyres to BMW

1
If you had bought 4 tyres and tubes for your Maruti 800 car in 2002 it would have
costed you Rs. 18000. But had you invested the same amount in TVS Srichakra shares,
it would have amounted to Rs. 35 lakhs. Enough to purchase a BMW today !!!
3. EICHER STORY
If you had spent Rs 55,000 to buy a Royal Eneld motorcycle in 2001, you would now
have an old, rugged bike. But if you had invested the same Rs 55,000 in shares (at Rs
17.50 per share) of Eicher Motors, the company that makes Eneld bikes, your
investment will be worth Rs 4.75 crore now. Recently the stock price crossed Rs.
27000.
4. MRF Dividend
MRF share is THE COSTLIEST one in the market (Rs. 55000 each).And recently the
company had announced dividend of Rs. 3 per share ONLY. Ironically , I hold few
shares and I am still in SHOCK. No doubt the stock had given 500% return in just 4
years but their dividend distribution is beyond my intelligence.
5. INFOSYS & WIPRO

Infosys IPO in 1993 at Rs.95 was undersubscribed and was bailed out by Morgan 1
Stanley (picked uo 13% equity). If you had invested Rs. 9500 (100 shares) in Infosys in
1993, today you would be sitting on more than 3 crores (including dividends around
50 lakh).
Same is the case with WIPRO. Rs. 10000 invested in WIPRO in 1980 would amount to
Rs.600 crores today. Simply MINDBLOWING. Isnt it???
6. HDFC Twins
Rs. 1500 invested in HDFC in 1990 would now be worth Rs. 25 lakhs today. Just
amazing!!!
7. SYMPHONY and EDUCOMP
Stock market is a wonderful place and it surprises, shocks, amaze and

mesmerizes you every-time you think that you have become an expert. It
makes you humble and grounded. No place for Ego. If by chance, you have
invested in a wrong company just accept your mistake, book your losses and
move-on. Never wait for your buy price to come. Junk will remain a junk even
after a long time.
I have seen SYMPHONY going from 16 paisa (2003) to Rs.1600 (2015).
And I have also witnessed EDUCOMP SOLUTIONS going down from Rs. 1100
(2008) to Rs. 11 (2017) even after being the darling stock of BIG INVESTORS at one
point of time.
In this market you can nd stocks which are wealth generators giving mega returns

Sagarkumar Jain, Bullish on Stock Market Learnings

AnsweredAug13,2016
As no one has told this unbelievable fact about Indian Stock Market, I will take this
opportunity to put forth the most fascinating story of a share in Indian Stock Market.
Rs.10,000 to Rs.521 Crores
Lets just assume that you bought 100 shares of Wipro each at a face value of Rs.100 in
the year 1980. Total investment: Rs.10,000. You dont touch it at all, no prot booking
or buying more shares. Occasionally companies provide benets to its shareholders
by way of corporate actions. They could provide bonus shares for shares that you
hold, they could do a stock split where a high face value share would be broken down
into smaller face value shares but number of shares increases proportionately, etc.
Wipro has done various such bonuses and stock splits in its history of 1980-2016. Lets
now see the dierent corporate actions and how the number of stocks wouldve
grown.
1
After the year 2010, there were no more bonuses or stock splits. But with just that
initial investment of Rs.10,000 (100 shares) you now would end up with 96,00,000
shares of the company because of all the stock splits and bonus shares. Current stock
price of Wipro is about Rs.543 per share, as of 13th August 2016.
Rs.543 96,00,000 = Rs 5212800000 or about Rs.521 crores. That is a CAGR

(Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 47.39%. Does any of your bank FD give you 47%
annual interest rate? It was all possible because of the free shares that the company
gave to its shareholders as an incentive for investing in their company. If you
immediately needed to liquidate this entire holding today (urgent need for >Rs.500
crores?), you can do it and you would have to pay a grand total of 0% tax on your
prots, because long-term capital gains in equity is tax-free.
If you thought that tax-free Rs.535 crores out of a investment of Rs.10,000 was
unbelievable, here comes another shocker. Every year the company announces
dividend from its operating prots for its shareholders. As a shareholder, you would
also get this benet for how many ever stocks you hold.
For example, last year 2015 (calendar year), the company announced total of Rs.12 per
share. Multiply this with the number of shares you hold and this will be automatically
credited to your bank account.
Rs.12 96,00,000 = Rs.115200000 or Rs.11.52 crores for the year 2015.

Sachin Tendulkar and the Stock Market connection:

What if I say Sachin Tendulkar (cricketer) and the Indian National Cricket Team 1
factors the performance of Stock market in India?
Yes, it is true as per the research worked out by two esteemed professors of Monash
University, Australia few years back.
The study shows that there is sharp and signicant decline in stock market prices the
day after India loses a match. The fall in stock prices subsequent to loss is more than
seven times the movement following a win by Indian Team.
Now, coming to Sachin Tendulkar, if he is involved in the losing match, the market
goes down further (18% more compared to when he is not involved).
Another study also revealed that market performed better when Sachin scored a
century.
Justication?:
As we all know stock prices are ultimately governed by supply and demand of the
stock. So, there tends to be some weird factors (like mood of the investors etc.) which
aect their involvement in the stock market and hence the demand/supply of the
stocks.
Thus, the stock market is aected by irrational/behavioral factors which has nothing
to do with the actual performance of the public company. Such factors are generally
termed as Market anomalies .

In March 1993 a powerful car bomb exploded in the basement of the Bombay
Stock Exchange building. The 28-story oce building housing the exchange
was severely damaged, and many nearby oce buildings also suered some
damage.
The rst stock to be traded was that of the Dutch East India Company.
Trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange was conducted under the Banyan
Tree in 1955. Today, the stock exchange building or Jeejeebhoy Towers has
become a landmark in the City of Mumbai.

This is not specically related to BSE/NSE but related to every stock

market.The terms Bear and Bull are thought to be originated from the
way of attacking by each animal, with the bull thrusting its horn up in the air,
while a bear swiping downwards. Historically, the middleman used to
speculate on the future price of the bearskins by selling them which they yet
had to receive from the tappers, with the expectation that the price will drop.
They used to call the middleman as bear jobbers and in short bears which
is known to describe the downturn in the market. As bull was assumed to be
opposite of the bear at that time so it was termed as the upward movement of
the market.

From a Prot of 6 lakhs to a loss of 24 lakhs in just 5 minutes with just 11,250
rupees in Capital.
Chirag Gupta, a Day trader probably made the biggest blunder of his career
unknowingly.
At 3.25 pm he saw that he could buy Nifty Options for a dirt cheap 5 paise per lot.
He estimated the market is going to close to some 2 rupees up the strike price (8600). 1
True to his calculations, it closed at 8602.75 - thus netting him a Prot of 2.75 per unit.
He could only buy 3000 lots because of time constraints. Each lot has 75 units.
So 3000*75*0.05 =11,250 was his investment.
The prot should have been 3000* 75*2.75 =6,18,750 -11,250 (premium) = 6,07,500
Cool 6 hundred thousand prot in just 5 minutes
But he did not know that if you let the options expire the exchange charges a
Securities transaction charges of 0.125 percent on the total traded value.
So 0.125 percent of 3000*75 is 24,18,750.
If he would have sold his position himself the exchange would have charged 0.05
percent on the premium (11,250 ) - 5.625 rupees.
Instead of a prot of 6 lakhs he lost close to 24 lakhs in 5 minutes.

Hey Friends Technical Analysis is the best option because of
Technical analysis generally involves looking into the movements of prices in the
market and anticipating how they are likely to aect prices within a specic
timeframe. It is, to some extent, a prediction of how the market is likely to behave
within a certain timeframe. However, technical analysis is not absolute, meaning; any
market prediction can fail. Technical analysis is typically used to manage accounts in
stock, commodities, futures, forex or any other traded instrument where price is
largely dependent on supply and demand. Some analysts though would also consider
volume or open interest gures as important factors. Price in this context is dened as
any combination of open, high, low or close occurring for a certain security over a
period of time, which can be anywhere from one minute to one year or even many 1

Here are some facts which may work for your answere:
It is easy to get caught up in the daily stock market activity and lose sight of the
interesting facts in the market's history. For instance, while the New York Stock
Exchange is the largest U.S. Stock exchange, it is not the oldest. The Philadelphia
Stock Exchange was created in 1790 and preceded the NYSE. The NYSE, however, is
the most traditional as traders cannot enter the oor of the exchange if they are not
wearing a suit and tie. Current traders are doing Online Stock Trading which is very
eective and protable for them.
A stock is considered to be share of ownership in a certain company. It can be traded,
which means, bought or sold. With some of the relics found over the years, there is a
good chance that shares of ownership could have begun 8000 B.C., or possibly earlier.
Tokens out of clay were used for nancial purposes back at that time.
Here are 10 interesting stock market facts.
1. The oldest stock exchange in the world started in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1460.
2. The oldest stock exchange in the United States, opened in Philadelphia, in 1790.
3. Wall Street was laid out behind a 12-foot-high wood stockade across lower
Manhattan in 1685. The stockade was built to protect the Dutch settlers from British
and Native American attacks.
4. The rst company listed on the New York Stock Exchange was, the Bank of New
York, in 1792.
5. The highest price paid for a seat on the NYSE was $2,650,000, in 1999. The lowest
price paid for a seat, was $4,000, in 1876.
6. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rst closed over 100 in 1906. It rst closed over
1,000 in 1972. It rst closed over 10,000 in 1999. See the nice progression. What will be
the next major milestone?
7. The rst stock tickers and ticker tapes were used in 1867.
8. The stock, First Midwest Federal, has CASH, as its symbol. The stock, Lacrosse
Footwear, has BOOT, as its symbol. If you do some searching on your own, you can
nd some really interesting symbols in the various exchanges. 1
9. The American Stock Exchange was originally called, "The Curb". This is because
traders rst started out on the streets of New York City, standing by the curb.
10. The NASDAQ Stock Exchange began in 1971. At that time, its main focus was on
OTC stocks. The name is an acronym for National Association of Securities
Quotation. Currently, the NASDAQ consists mainly of technology stocks.

There was tradition in india to invest in IPOs and sell it on the listing date itself to
earn few bucks. Such was the craziness of Indian investors, that they dont mind
giving any price to IPOs till some time, in lieu of getting benetted from the buyers on
its listing date. It proves how irrational and overcondence indian investors can be.
One such incident is the IPO listing of Reliance Power on 11 Feb 2008. It was oered
a price to earnings multiple of 600, the oer price was between 430450, whereas the
promoters held the shares at Rs. 10/per share. It was not like that investors were not
aware of the high PE multiples, but instead they went ahead subscribing the IPO,
planning to sell it on the listing date. Its retail portion was oversubscribed 14.4 times.
However when everyone wanted to sell it on the listing date itself, it crashed 17% on
the opening day itself, and people lost fortunes betting heavily on the stock. And the
stock continued eroding investors wealth in long term.

faith in company business and most importantly patience after investing Rs 13
crore spicejet stock touched 13 rs also i.e almost Rs 3.5 crore loss which is around
28% of his invested capital it is same for common investor like you and me who
invested 1 lakh rupees and after few months it has become Rs 72 Thousand only
but Mr. jhunjhunwala remain invested.
There are lot of wealth destroyer examples also already discussed by fellow Quorans.

A stock market, equity market or share market is the gathering or buyers and
sellers of stocks(also called shares) and these may include securities listed on a
stock exchange as well as those traded privately.
Here are some that are simply interesting things about Indian stock market according
to me:(I know there are already many good answers posted but just in case any of
these is left out.)
1. Only 2% of Indian household savings are being directed to Equity

markets, Indians are so risk-averse! People in India are more inclined
towards investing in gold,banks and in real estate. 1
2. The terms Bear and Bull are thought to be originated from the way
of attacking by each animal, with the bull thrusting its horn up in the air,
while a bear swiping downwards.They used to call the middleman as bear
jobbers and in short bears which is known to describe the downturn
in the market. As bull was assumed to be opposite of the bear at that time so
it was termed as the upward movement of the market.
3. Historically, on an average the market declines mostly in the month of

September.One of the reasons for this is that the trading volume declines in
summer as the investors take time for vacation and once they return to work,
they exit positions they had build up.
4. There are 17 stock exchanges in India. Out of which only 7 are permanent
and rest 10 require their license to be renewed timely.
5. The speed of execution Transaction under National Stock Exchange of

India is 2 millisecond.The transaction execution capacity at BSE is 5 lakh
orders per second and a response time of 200 microseconds.
6. 75% of daily stock market in India is attributed to the top 100 stocks and
nearly 70% of trading volume is done by the top 100 brokers.
7. The organization which brought in the concept of trading in stocks and

shares within India is the East India Company.
Hope it helps!
Thanks:)

Suppose, in Jan 2002 instead of buying a Royal Eneld bike for Rs. 1,75,000, if you
had bought Stocks of Eicher Motors on BSE for the same amount.
As on September 2016 the value of your stocks would have been Rs. 21,65,50,000.
This is called an investment.

Traditional Broker
When you opt for a traditional broker you get a Relationship manager who suggests
you and helps you Invest and trade into the markets with research reports and
personalised advice. IPO (Initial Public Oering), Mutual Funds and other Investment
instruments are available.
All of this comes at a cost which is 80 to 90% more than a discount broker.
Investors:
Investors usually buy a stock and keep it for a certain period. That is why they do not
need a topnotch order execution system. The facility to set trades in non-market
hours is a big plus for such investors.
The commission structure is not very important for such investors as they do very few
trades. However, they must check the maintenance fee for the account.
Two popular Traditional brokers in India Icicidirect and Sharekhan .
Discount Broker
Discount brokers help save 80 to 90% brokerage which is what most of us need, they
give you best online trading platforms free of cost that helps you trade online with
anyone interference. You cannot opt for Mutual Funds, IPO or any other personalised
services like traditional brokers.
Two popular Discount brokers in India Zerodha and RKSV .
Day traders:
Day traders invest for a few minutes to a few hours. They do not leave a position open
overnight. Timely execution of trades is essential for these traders.
Due to their peculiar investment style, it is imperative that data are accurate and
delivered on a realtime basis. Additionally it will help if the broker oers real-time
market news. Since volumes are big for say traders, they would prefer a trading
account with at fee.
For a retail day trader, all costs are important and can become very big-commissions,
maintenance fees as well as other fees (inactivity fee, fees for transferring money, etc.)
are highly important, as they greatly aect the overall returns.
Zerodha Vs RKSV Vs Sharekhan
Zerodha Vs RKSV Vs IciciDirect
For Demat account you could either open a new one as you can have multiple demat
accounts, or link the old demat account to zerodha .

All peoples who commented on below, saying that if we invested in this stock several
years before we would have this much earnings now but really they invested on that?
Just they are telling the past. Just by words.whether they invested now for future?
They will hold the stock upto 2035? The answer is big NO. They are people just giving
advice. Everyone can say these things.

Bombay stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia

It has one of the largest no of scrips listed
In terms of No of trades we are the second largest in the world
We are one such nation where more than 90% of our listed securities are in Demat
form ,wherein developed mkts are still struggling to catch up with even 50%.
In India we have 100% screen based trading system visa vis other developed mkts
who are still having partial outcry system like we used to have in pre 1990's
In terms of Financial Markets development we are at least 15-20 yrs ahead of other

Well...i'll keep it short n simple...
For most people, stock market is a big no-no coz they have heard various stories about
its uncertainty...dis answer is trying to take a dig why people refrain from it...
1) your friend is making big money in stock market(this is ur assumption) and

throwing jargons like double dip, strangle, straddle, bonaaci & what not at you...fact
is neither he nor u know nothing abt stock market...after his constant reiterations u
are nally ready with ur hard enrned money to be invested in stock market.....
a retail investor is just born...
2) you put ur money in some xyz stock as suggested by friend...the stock jumps to new
level...u sell it..dis is rst ever( n may be last) prot...ur joy has no limit..wow...ur
friend has earned huge respect...
3) u can't wait for next tip...u have diverted all your funds to trading and ready to put
it on any stock ur friend says...
4) You put money on d stock...u r on cloud 9 that you are now just few steps away from 1
hitting a fortune...oh boy..a beach house..world tour...no need to put those long hours
at work...heaven...I am coming baby...
5) next day market opens...wat da fcuk...ur stock is witnessing merciless selling...ur

portfolio is all bleeding with red..ur dreams are shattered.. U call ur friend...he assures
you to have patience..it's temporary.. Such things happen in market...
6) u wait for few days..no sign of recovery..ur life saving is evaporating day by day in
the recent subprime turmoil happened in other continent u barely know.
7) You are experiencing sudden mood changes, anger n lost focus from work.
8) Then somebody suggest this stock is at historical low price...perfect time for
bottom shing..u are confused...bring in additional funds from other
sources...breaking FD's..it goes up to asking money from ur closed ones...the stock is
ur enemy..and you want revenge..can go to any extent to have it bounced back to the
earlier levels..
9) stock shows some initial signs of recovery and one ne morning...bammmmm....its

opened gap down..oh wait..down..its just above zero..worthless.. U have just lost ur
money..never to recover..
Well dats stock market for u...
PS: I am a derivatives trader..n believe me..bets here are to be put more cautiously
than equity..
I dont want to scare anybody..people nowadays are more educated and have easy
access to the knowledge..these things are of past n I think mostly happen with people
who just want to make money without thinking much..
Stock markets are good investment thanks to the various tools available for
fundamental n technical analysis.....n it needs ur time, energy n patience..
Things work well when take risk mitigated bets using various strategies perticularly in
derivatives market which insulate your portfolio from the external forces or macro
economic conditions..
Happy trading...

In between July to October 2001, price of MRF was in the range of 450-550 INR. Now,
its price is 36,600 INR. That means if you had bought shares worth of 20,000 INR,
today you would have more than 14 lakhs in your account.

Had Indians adopted buying and holding strategy instead of being short term traders,
we'd be owning the majority of shares of blue chip companies like Infosys, HDFC,
HDFC bank, ICICI bank, ITC etc., which are worth billions of dollars today and we'd
have recovered our initial investment in dividends itself. Instead we lost them to
foreign investors and virtually lost the control over these money minting machines.

Pramod Kumar, Studying Indian Stock Markets since 1977

The Success Story We Love To Talk About:

But there are two sides of every coin.

The Story Nobody Likes To Tell

( Oddly, though at present there are 51 )

The Wealth Destroyers:

The last price on Dec 09, 2016 was Rs. 36.90

Presently it is at 4.36% of its peak value.

It is no longer a part of NIFTY.

The lifetime High- Jan 09, 2008 Rs. 412.88

The lifetime Low August 28, 2013 Rs. 5.70

Present price December 09, 2016 Rs. 14.75

At the lowest price, it was at just 1.38% of the peak price.

Today it is at 3.57% of the highest value.

And the funny part is:

What is the current price?

It is less than 1% of the high price.

Can the investor ever expect to make good their losses?

( Image Showing Historical High and Low Prices of DLF )

Even if it goes up by 100%, it will be nowhere near 1225.

I was shocked when I saw a price of Rs. 90 in April 2001.

Today it trades at Rs 12.65.

Do you know what was the highest price?

Rs. 2578.05 on March 08, 2000.... (more)
