The Nasdaq, on the other hand, is located not on a physical trading floor
but on a telecommunications network. People are not on a floor of the
exchange matching buy and sell orders on behalf of investors. Instead,
trading takes place directly between investors and their buyers or sellers,
who are the market makers (whose role we discuss below in the next
section), through an elaborate system of companies electronically
connected to one another.
The definitions of the role of the market maker and that of the specialist
are technically different; a market maker creates a market for a security,
whereas a specialist merely facilitates it. However, the duty of both the
market maker and specialist is to ensure smooth and orderly markets for
clients. If too many orders get backed up, the traffic controllers of the
exchanges will work to match the bidders with the askers to ensure the
completion of as many orders as possible. If there is nobody willing to buy
or sell, the market makers of the Nasdaq and the specialists of the NYSE
will try to see if they can find buyers and sellers and even buy and sell
from their own inventories
Conclusion
Both the NYSE and the Nasdaq markets accommodate the major portion
of all equities trading in North America, but these exchanges are by no
means the same. Although their differences may not affect your stock
picks, your understanding of how these exchanges work will give you
some insight into how trades are executed and how a market works.

INTRODUCTION OF INDIAN STOCK
EXCHANGE
The Indian stock exchanges hold a place of prominence not only in Asia
but also at the global stage. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is one of
the oldest exchanges across the world, while the National Stock Exchange
(NSE) is among the best in terms of sophistication and advancement of
technology.
The Indian stock market scene really picked up after the opening up of the
economy in the early nineties. The whole of nineties were used to
experiment and fine tune an efficient and effective system. The ‘badla’
system was stopped to control unnecessary volatility while the derivatives
segment started as late as 2000. The corporate governance rules were
gradually put in place which initiated the process of bringing the listed
companies at a uniform level.
On the global scale, the economic environment started taking paradigm
shift with the ‘dot com bubble burst’, 9/11, and soaring oil prices. The
slowdown in the US economy and interest rate tightening made the
equation more complex. However after 2000 riding on a robust growth
and a maturing economy and relaxed regulations, outside investors-
institutional and others got more scope to operate. This opening up of the
system led to increased integration with heightened cross-border flow of
capital, with India emerging as an investment ‘hot spot’ resulting in our
stock exchanges being impacted by global cues like never before.
The study pertains to comparative analysis of the Indian Stock Market
with respect to various international counterparts. Exchanges are now
crossing national boundaries to extend their service areas and this has led
to cross-border integration. Also, exchanges have begun to offer cross-
border trading to facilitate overseas investment options for investors. This
not only increased the appeal of the exchange for investors but also
attracts more volume.
Exchanges regularly solicit companies outside their home territory and
encourage them to list on their exchange and global competition has put
pressure on corporations to seek capital outside their home country. The
Indian stock market is the world third largest stock market on the basis of
investor base and has a collective pool of about 20 million investors.
There are over 9,000 companies listed on the stock exchanges of the
country. The Bombay Stock Exchange, established in 1875, is the oldest in
Asia. National Stock Exchange, a more recent establishment which came
into existence in 1992, is the largest and most advanced stock market in
India is also the third biggest stock exchange in Asia in terms of
transactions. It is among the 5 biggest stock exchanges in the world in
terms of transactions volume.
Indian stock market is rapidly going higher and higher and increasingly
becoming popular among the foreign investors. There are so many
reasons that investors from all around the world are showing interest in
the Indian stock market. Here we are presenting some of the factors that
have made the Indian stock market a preferred choice to invest over other
international stock markets.
3. The 2nd largest market - India is the 2nd largest country in the
world in terms of population and hence the country is the 2nd
largest consumer market in the world as well. So there is no doubt
the businesses will flourish in the country with a steady rise.
4. Economic growth - For the last few years India has seen steady
economic growth. The parameters that are used to measure the
overall economic standard of the country are on the rise. The higher
GDP, rate of annual growth, foreign currency reserve, Human
development index - all these factors are at a satisfactory level and
showing steady rise.
8. Online Trading - The online trading facility have surely made the
Indian stock markets more accessible to foreign investors and NRIs.
The online trading facility lets you invest in the Indian stock market
from anywhere in the world and at any time of the day.
10. BSE - Bombay stock exchange has the most number of companies
listed among all the stock exchanges in the world. In terms of
market capitalization of the listed companies it is the largest in
South Asia and the 12th largest in the world.
11. NSE - This is the largest stock exchange in India in terms of trading
volume.
12. Higher GDP - For the last few years India is posting higher GDP
rates that is the proof of growing industrial sectors and booming
market. The higher GDP and lower import and export India is able to
reduce the effect of recession as well.
Quick quiz: which BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) stock market
has performed worse so far in 2011?
Answer: India by a wide margin. In fact, on January 7th India’s stock
market suffered its worst one-day point decline since October 2009 and its
worst percentage decline since May 2010. Take a look at the numbers:
BRIC Country Stock Market Return in 2011
China 0.5%
Russia -0.1%
Brazil -2.7%
India -8.0%
Source: Bloomberg
Don't Panic!
Before you panic, let’s put things in perspective. India is not the worst
performing stock market in the world this year. That dubious “honor” goes
to Bangladesh, which is down an astounding 22.2% in 2011! On January
10th, the Bangladesh stock market was halted after falling 9.3% in less
than an hour, the worst one-day decline in its 55-year history. Things are
so bad in Bangladesh that police needed to use tear gas and water
cannon against angry investors.
Feel better now?
Other poor performing stock markets this year include Vietnam (-
8.3%), Chile (-7.1%), and Indonesia (-6.4%). So India is not alone in its
misery. Still, investors wish they'd invested in Mongolia (+7.5%) or Sri
Lanka (+5.7%) since the beginning of January.
Russia 218%
India 195%
Brazil 146%
China 88%

Still, nobody likes to lose money even in the short term so it’s reasonable
to ask what is causing the Indian market to go down? The answers are
inflation and interest-rate hikes. For the week ending December 25th,
the price of food in India shot up for the fifth straight week to an
annualized 18.32%, the highest rate in more than a year. For a country
where millions of people pay more than 50% of their disposable income
on food, this is very bad news. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has
convened an emergency meeting of his cabinet to deal with the inflation
situation.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a warning
last week that the entire developing world faces a “food price shock” this
year as its benchmark food price index (grains, rice, vegetable oils, dairy
products, sugar and meat) has reached record highs, surpassing its
previous June 2008 peak.
INDIA'S INTEREST RATES HAVE BEEN RISING
Although Yiannis Mostrous, editor of Silk Road Investor, wrote back in late
October that the Indian market looks “a little overextended,” he still is
very bullish on the Indian market long term. He is not overly concerned
with India’s interest rate hikes because:
Interest rates in India play a secondary role when it comes to potential
economic impact, a product of the low levels of debt in the private sector
and the relative underdevelopment of the nation’s financial markets.
While bank lending growth has also slowed, it has stabilized at around 20
percent, which is still very healthy. The Indian government remains
committed to building the country’s infrastructure and is expected to
increase its contribution to infrastructure projects by 1 to 2 percent of
GDP.
India remains among his “top five” favorite emerging markets in which to
invest. (it’s not No. 1, however). For fund investors, Yiannis likes
the Emerging Global Shares India Infrastructure Fund(NYSE: INXX),
but he believes you can earn higher returns investing in carefully-selected
individual stocks. He recommends his two favorite Indian stocks in the Silk
Road Investor “Long-Term Holdings” Portfolio.
CONCLUSION
The Indian stock markets have come very close to the danger
zone in terms of P/E values. The daily uncertainty facing the global
markets with respect to sovereign debt, bank exposure, and slow
economic growth make this a particularly dangerous time for
investors. The Indian stock market is vulnerable to any sudden
degradation in investor sentiment that could be brought on by events
foreseen or unforeseen.

COMPARATIVE
ANALYSIS OF STOCK
MARKET BETWEEN
NSE AND NYSE
PROBLEM OF OUR STUDY
The main objective of this study is to capture the trends, similarities and
patterns in the activities and movements of the Indian Stock Market in
comparison to its international counterparts.
The aim is to help the investors (current and potential) understand the
impact of important happenings on the Indian Stock exchange.
This is the main part of the study wherein the various stock exchanges of
the sample have been compared on certain parameters. The Various
Parameters are as follows:
1. Market Capitalization
3. Listing agreements
4. Circuit filters
5. Settlement
1.MARKET CAPITALIZATION:
Market capitalization is the measure of corporate size of a country. It
shows the current stock price multiplied by the number of outstanding
shares. It is commonly referred to as market cap. It is calculated by
multiplying the number of common shares with the current price of those
shares. This term is often confused with capitalization, which is the total
amount of funds used to finance a firm's balance sheet and is calculated
as market capitalization plus debt (book or market value) plus preferred
stock. While there are no strong definitions for market cap
categorizations, a few terms are frequently used to group companies
based on its capitalization. The table below shows the market
capitalization of various stock markets in the world. The total market cap
of NSE is 75,60,607 crores as on 5th. Nov. 2010.

2. LISTED SECURITIES:
Listing in a stock exchange refers to the admission of the securities of the
company for trade dealings in a recognized stock exchange. The
securities may be of any public limited company, Central or State
Government, quasi-governmental and other financial
institutions/corporations, municipalities, etc. Securities of any company
are listed in a stock exchange to provide liquidity to the securities, to
mobilize savings and to protect the interests of the investors.
4. CIRCUIT FILTER
This segment takes care of the efficiency issue of the said stock
exchange. It basically looks into the speed at which any of the numerous
transactions affected in the market gets settled. This is especially crucial
given the volume. We see that Indian exchanges are at par with the best
in the world when it comes to efficient settlement. It can even go one up if
the proposed ‘T+1’system is put in place.
Below are the various settlement cycles for the stock exchanges.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE STUDY ON THE BASIS OF
DIFFERENT PARAMETERS
The study brings forth some distinct conclusions many of which validate
popular beliefs.
• The objective of the whole research was to try and compare the
various stock exchanges based on certain parameters in order to
understand the impact of integration of the financial world on the
various entities within it especially in the context of globalization
and increased interest in the capital markets fuelled by surging
growth.
• Moreover, there are also issues regarding the extent to which the
sophisticated systems of the stock exchanges (NSE, BSE) are
utilized in terms of the volume and frequency of transactions and
the range of instruments traded. The commodity segment,
derivatives and such other segments are yet to see activities like
the equity segment of the market.
• The reasons that can be attributed to this is the fact that it has been
only 5 years (derivatives started in 2000) that the various segments,
apart from equity and debt, have started operating and hence it is
reasonably nascent compared to its global counterparts.
• One more reason that can be attributed for the lag between a global
benchmark like NYSE and BSE or NSE can be the fact that, in our
country, listing of foreign companies are still not allowed on the
lines of ADRs or GDRs. This can be due to lack of depth and breadth
of the market. Again, as this study points out, the listing criteria
differ in terms of size as well as their disclosure norms. This implies
that the depth of the market judged by the total capitalization is less
for the Indian markets compared to its counterparts. Moreover, the
disclosure norms affect the governance aspect as also the
information availability.
• One problem area that came out as a possible barrier in the path of
Indian stock exchanges attaining global level is the fact that India
has a very low rank in terms of market capitalization (ranked 14th).
All other stock exchanges that we used in our study rank above
Indian stock exchange. This is in spite of the fact that Indian stock
exchanges have the highest number of companies listed (around
9000) and BSE accounting for almost 75%. Therefore, volume-wise,
Indian market is still pretty small.
