Recent Regulations in Stock Market

Systematic and streamlined regulation is the key strength and sustainability of the securities markets. Though formal regulation of the securities markets is about 70 years old, some of the recent developments in the financial markets are reshaping the scope and focus of the regulation. These include

There is growing harmonisation of regulation across different markets. Organisations such as International Organisation for Securities Commissions (IOSCO) are playing a very important role in adoption of uniform principles and guidelines across the markets.

The size and scope of the securities markets is rapidly changing from being one or two product markets to multi product markets with diverse features and different investor base.

Markets have become more democratized with more people and institutions participating in the market related activities.

A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

Page 13

Rapid increase in the size of the institutional participation in the financial markets. For instance equity markets, which in the past were retail investor driven, are now increasingly become institutional induced.

Securities markets are transforming from being membership driven to public corporation following demutualization and corporatisation of stock exchanges in mature and emerging markets.

Two most important pieces of regulation that came into being in the recent period are in the form of market structure reforms in the US, known more popularly as regulation NMS, which underlines the promotion of competition across the markets under three major principles; best price, open access and transparency. Under the new trade-through role, in whichever market a customer placed his order, it should be able to access the best price that is immediately and automatically available anywhere in the national market system.

The trade-through rule will not allow markets to ignore better priced automated quotes displayed by the competitors. Similarly, open access to displayed prices will be a major feature governing the competition of the markets. The regulation also stipulates that all significant markets must display their quotations and trade reports should be available to all interested parties on fair terms and non discriminatory manner.

Another equally important development is the Markets in Financial Industry Directive (MiFiD) that will come into force from 1 Nov, 2007 and stipulates wide ranging norms for financial institutions in the European Union. Major features of the MiFiD include wider scope of coverage of the financial institutions and the related business activities, greater degree of harmonization across the European markets and facilitate cross border business and stipulated capital requirements.

PORTERS FIVE FORCES

Diagram 2: Porters Five Forces

1. The threat of substitute products The existence of close substitute products increases the propensity of customers to switch to alternatives in response to price increases (high elasticity of demand). 2. The threat of the entry of new competitors Profitable markets that yield high returns will draw firms. This results in many new entrants, which will effectively decrease profitability. Unless the entry of new firms can be blocked by incumbents, the profit rate will fall towards a competitive level. A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY
Page 15

3. The intensity of competitive rivalry For most industries, this is the major determinant of the competitiveness of the industry. Sometimes rivals compete aggressively and sometimes rivals compete in non-price dimensions such as innovation, marketing, etc. 4. The bargaining power of customers Also described as the market of outputs. The ability of customers to put the firm under pressure and it also affects the customer's sensitivity to price changes. 5. The bargaining power of suppliers Also described as market of inputs. Suppliers of raw materials, components, labor, and services (such as expertise) to the firm can be a source of power over the firm. Suppliers may refuse to work with the firm, or e.g. charge excessively high prices for unique resources. The five forces model relevant to the Indian brokerage industry The Bargaining Power Of Customers Lack of Expertise Curtails Bargaining Power Retail investors often lack the knowledge and expertise in the financial sector that calls them to approach the broking houses. Low Product Differentiation Proves Beneficial The retail broking services provided by the various companies is homogeneous with very low product differentiation. This allows customers to enjoy a greater bargaining power.

A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

Page 16

The Bargaining Power Of Suppliers Increased Dependence on IPOs There is a growing dependence of corporates on broking houses with the rising number of IPOs coming to the market. The Intensity Of Competitive Rivalry Move towards consolidation Lot of brokerage companies are moving towards consolidation with the smaller ones becoming either franchisees for the larger brokers or closing operations. Increased Focus of Banks in Retail Broking Various foreign banks like ABN Amro and others are planning to enter the Indian retail brokerage industry. Online Trading Competes with Traditional Brokerage There is an increasing demand for online trading due to consumers growing preference for internet as compared to approaching the brokers. Threat of New Entrants Entry of Foreign Players New forms of trading including T+2 settlement system, dematerialization etc are strengthening the retail brokerage market and attracting foreign companies to enter the Indian industry.

Page 17

The Threat Of Substitute Products Alternative Investment Options Various alternative forms of investment including fixed deposits with banks and post offices etc act as substitutes to retail broking products and services. Now even various banks provide similar type of services. They also give the same service of portfolio management and wealth management.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

To earn is difficult but to save out of it is more difficult, but even more difficult is to invest such savings in the right avenue of investment. There is no one best way of making money. Sound investing is, infact, a disciplined money management process and should be grounded in an investment plan that is based on one's personal circumstances. It requires an organized knowledge, latest information & conceptual imagination to arrive at such investment plan of an investor .This can be done on one's own or with the help of a financial adviser.

We have 3 different schemes Value ,Bull's Eye,Discover Value PMS, with different approaches to managing your investments. The team of fund managers is headed by Mr Raamdeo Agrawal. 2.4.2. INVESTMENT IN EQUITY DERIVATIVES Trading volume in derivative segment of the exchanges have surged significantly over last few months/years. However , the bias is more towards future than options. There are few misconceptions about this market. It is largely used by speculators to take leveraged positions in the market. It is considered as a mere replacement of the age old badla system of BSE. But the fact is that this derivative market has much larger role to play not only for the speculators but moreso for the investors, particularly the high net worth & institutional investors. With the use of certain financial management tools like; Standard Deviation, Theta, Delta,Beta, Gamma, Rho,Vega etc , one can create several strategies using multiple types of financial instruments of derivatives market. These strategies can be used by the investors for risk management, hedging, arbitrage and generation of regular incomes out of the idle investment. We ,at NARNOLIA, have a dedicated team of investment experts comprising several Chartered Accountants , MBAs etc who are trained at our Narnolia Knowledge Centre and are also closely supported by the experts at MOSt, Mumbai. An in house software has been developed by us using all the above advance tools to help the investors to maximize their ROE. In view of the increasing popularity of derivatives amongst speculators we have introduced a very low brokerage A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

scheme (lowest slab being .01%) for our net traders. Please click here for 1 PAISA SCHEME IN MY BROKER. 2.4.3. INVESTMENT THROUGH MUTUAL FUNDS It is an alternative to investing directly. All those who do not have time or discipline or inclination or expertise to understand the complex ways of investment ,still want to take benefits of it , can do so by putting their money with the money managers :mutual funds who are supposedly the experts in investment matters and are expected to perform better than individual common investor because of their economies of scale, professional approach, experience, investing acumen, access to money market instruments to park their short term/surplus funds etc. All these features have made them globally a powerful and most convenient wealth creation vehicle. As per one estimate 75% of the retail money over next 10 years is supposed to come through mutual funds. But, mutual funds are not magic investment tool and there are a few problems in this expected all powerful investment solution. Mutual fund cannot guarantee either a return or wealth protection, particularly if it is a equity oriented fund. Further, there are around 2300 MF Schemes in India and are likely to multiply even from hereon.

2.4.6. COMMODITY The origin of commodity markets and trading is lost in history. It is the oldest of all the futures market but the nature of deals was largely one off ,at least till 1865 when Chicago Board Of Trade began trading futures contracts in grains. In India there are around 21 commodity exchanges but are largely single commodity exchanges and are off line. Commodity market got a major boost in April 2003 when its regulator FMC allowed almost all commodities to be traded .This paved the way for the emergence of Multi Commodity Exchange Of India (MCX) in Nov 2003 and of National Commodity And Derivative Exchange (NCDEX) in Dec. 2003 who launched national level on line trading terminals in a transparent and organized manner. These exchanges have seen a surge in the trading volumes and it is expected that volumes in commodity will surpass the volumes in equity. It will provide a very meaningful option of investment along with other asset class and will have a deeper root with the participation of wider segments of market participants like investors, hedgers, arbitragers, traders, manufacturers, planters, importers, exporters etc. Motilal Oswal Commodities Broker (P) Ltd (click here) is the

clearing and trading members of both the exchanges and has a big research team to support various participants in their own way. 2.4.7. INSURANCE As per several estimates it is said that Indians are grossly under insured and with the growing working age population & their income level this sector should see a rapid growth even from hereon. We, at NARNOLIA, realize the importance of insurance as one of the most important asset class while determining the asset allocation for any investor.

2.4.9. NARNOLIA KNOWLEDGE CENTRE Falling interest rate has changed the rule of the money making game. While it has given a boost to the entrepreneurs and consumers, it has ,at the same time, made the life of passive investors very difficult ,as their age old no brainer ally - fixed deposit in bank/ post office- is yielding a return which is barely enough to beat even inflation. In this context of low interest regime and also when the growth of service sector has outpaced the industrial or agrarian growth, the need of an organized knowledge is increasingly been felt at various levels of economic activity. In view of this we, at NARNOLIA, decided to create an independent department to impart training to all our business partners, branch heads, relationship managers and also to our respected clients who are eager to know the art of wealth creation. It includes following few modules and are imparted to all in different combinations depending on the need and ability of each trainee:

BASIC COURSE: Indian Financial System:-structures, functions. Understanding various financial instruments of capital market viz equity, debt etc .Basic knowledge of wealth creation: investment options, asset mix, portfolio building, portfolio restructuring

Diagram 4: STRUCTURE OF INDIAN MARKETS

CASH MARKET: A cash market may take the following forms: self-regulated centralized markets, such as commodity exchanges; decentralized over-the-counter markets where private transactions may occur; or localized community organizations, such as grain elevators. At these locations, you can purchase the actual physical commodity rather than just the futures contract. DERIVATIVES: A derivative is an agreement or con that is not based on a real, or true, exchange, i.e.: There is nothing tangible like money, or a product, that is being exchanged. For example, a person goes to the grocery store, exchanges a currency (money) for a commodity (say, an apple). The exchange is complete, both parties have something tangible. If the purchaser had called the store and asked for the apple to be held for one hour while the purchaser drives to the store, and the seller agrees, then a derivative has been created. The agreement (derivative) is derived from a proposed exchange. A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY
Page 51

FUTURES: A 'Future' is a contract to buy or sell the underlying asset for a specific price at a pre-determined time. If you buy a futures contract, it means that you promise to pay the price of the asset at a specified time. If you sell a future, you effectively make a promise to transfer the asset to the buyer of the future at a specified price at a particular time. Every futures contract has the following features:

Buyer Seller Price Expiry

Some of the most popular futures contracts available are equity stocks, indices, commodities etc. The difference between the price of the underlying asset in the spot market and the futures market is called 'Basis'. (As 'spot market' is a market for immediate delivery) The basis is usually negative, which means that the price of the asset in the futures market is more than the price in the spot market. This is because of the interest cost, storage cost, insurance premium etc., That is, if you buy the asset in the spot market, you will be incurring all these expenses, which are not needed if you buy a futures contract. This condition of basis being negative is called as 'Contango'. OPTIONS: Options contracts are instruments that give the holder of the instrument the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price. An option can be a 'call' option or a 'put' option. A call option gives the buyer, the right to buy the asset at a given price. This 'given price' is called 'strike price'. It should be noted that while the holder of the call option has a right to demand sale of asset from the seller, the seller has only the obligation and not the right. For eg: if the buyer wants to buy the asset, the seller has to sell it. He does not have a right.

Similarly a put option gives the buyer a right to sell the asset at the 'strike price' to the buyer. Here the buyer has the right to sell and the seller has the obligation to buy.

A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

Page 52

So in any options contract, the right to exercise the option is vested with the buyer of the contract. The seller of the contract has only the obligation and no right. As the seller of the contract bears the obligation, he is paid a price called as 'premium'. Therefore the price that is paid for buying an option contract is called as premium.

The buyer of a call option will not exercise his option (to buy) if, on expiry, the price of the asset in the spot market is less than the strike price of the call. For eg: A bought a call at a strike price of Rs 500. On expiry the price of the asset is Rs 450. A will not exercise his call. Because he can buy the same asset from the market at Rs 450, rather than paying Rs 500 to the seller of the option.

The buyer of a put option will not exercise his option (to sell) if, on expiry, the price of the asset in the spot market is more than the strike price of the call. For eg: B bought a put at a strike price of Rs 600. On expiry the price of the asset is Rs 619. A will not exercise his put option. Because he can sell the same asset in the market at Rs 619, rather than giving it to the seller of the put option for Rs 600. Futures and Options are of 1 month, 2months or 3 months, these contracts expire on last Thursday of every month.

Page 55

4.2.1. LONG CALL STRATEGY


For aggressive investors who are very bullish about the prospects for a stock / index, buying calls can be an excellent way to capture the upside potential with limited downside risk. Buying a call is the most basic of all options strategies. It constitutes the first options trade for someone already familiar with buying / selling stocks and would now want to trade options. Buying a call is an easy strategy to understand. When you buy it means you are bullish. Buying a Call means you are very bullish and expect the underlying stock / index to rise in future. When to use: When investors are very bullish about the stock / index. Risk: Limited Risk Returns: Unlimited Break Even: Strike Price + Premium

Analysis: This strategy limits the downside risk to the extent of premium paid. But the potential return is unlimited in case of rise in Nifty. A long call option is the simplest way to benefit if you believe that the market will make an upward move and is the most common choice among first time investors in Options. As the stock price / index rises the long Call moves into profit more and more quickly.

A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

Page 56

4.2.2. SHORT CALL STRATEGY


When you buy a Call you are hoping that the underlying stock / index would rise. When you expect the underlying stock / index to fall you do the opposite. When an investor is very bearish about a stock / index and expects the prices to fall, he can sell Call options. This position offers limited profit potential and the possibility of large losses on big advances in underlying prices. Although easy to execute it is a risky strategy since the seller of the Call is exposed to unlimited risk. A Call option means an Option to buy. Buying a Call option means an investor expects the underlying price of a stock / index to rise in future. Selling a Call option is just the opposite of buying a Call option. Here the seller of the option feels the underlying price of a stock / index is set to fall in the future. When to use: When investors are very bearish about the stock / index. Risk: Unlimited Returns: Limited Break Even: Strike Price + Premium

Analysis: This strategy is used when an investor is very aggressive and has a strong expectation of a price fall (and certainly not a price rise). This is a risky strategy since as the stock price / index rises, the short call loses money more and more quickly and losses can be significant if the stock price / index falls below the strike price. Since the investor does not own the underlying stock that he is shorting this strategy is also called Short Naked Call.

A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

Page 57

4.3.3. SYNTHETIC LONG CALL: BUY STOCK, BUY PUT


In this strategy, we purchase a stock since we feel bullish about it. But what if the price of the stock went down. You wish you had some insurance against the price fall. So buy a Put on the stock. This gives you the right to sell the stock at a certain price which is the strike price. The strike price can be the price at which you bought the stock (ATM strike price) or slightly below (OTM strike price). In case the price of the stock rises you get the full benefit of the price rise. In case the price of the stock falls, exercise the Put Option (remember Put is a right to sell). You have capped your loss in this manner because the Put option stops your further losses. It is a strategy with a limited loss and (after subtracting the Put premium) unlimited profit (from the stock price rise). The result of this strategy looks like a Call Option Buy strategy and therefore is called a Synthetic Call! But the strategy is not Buy Call Option (Strategy 1). Here you have taken an exposure to an underlying stock with the aim of holding it and reaping the benefits of price rise, dividends, bonus rights etc. and at the same time insuring against an adverse price movement. In simple buying of a Call Option, there is no underlying position in the stock but is entered into only to take advantage of price movement in the underlying stock. When to use: When ownership is desired of stock yet investor is concerned about nearterm downside risk. The outlook is conservatively bullish. Risk: Losses limited to Stock price + Put Premium Put Strike price Reward: Profit potential is unlimited. Break-even Point: Put Strike Price + Put Premium + Stock Price Put Strike Price

ANALYSIS: This is a low risk strategy. This is a strategy which limits the loss in case of fall in market but the potential profit remains unlimited when the stock price rises. A good strategy when you buy a stock for medium or long term, with the aim of protecting any downside risk. The pay-off resembles a Call Option buy and is therefore called as Synthetic Long Call.

4.4.4 LONG PUT


Buying a Put is the opposite of buying a Call. When you buy a Call you are bullish about the stock / index. When an investor is bearish, he can buy a Put option. A Put Option gives the buyer of the Put a right to sell the stock (to the Put seller) at a pre-specified price and thereby limit his risk. A long Put is a Bearish strategy. To take advantage of a falling market an investor can buy Put options. When to use: Investor is bearish about the stock / index. Risk: Limited to the amount of Premium paid. (Maximum loss if stock / index expires at or above the option strike price). Reward: Unlimited Break-even Point: Stock Price - Premium

ANALYSIS: A bearish investor can profit from declining stock price by buying Puts. He limits his risk to the amount of premium paid but his profit potential remains unlimited. This is one of the widely used strategy when an investor is bearish.

4.5.5. SHORT PUT


Selling a Put is opposite of buying a Put. An investor buys Put when he is bearish on a stock. An investor Sells Put when he is Bullish about the stock expects the stock price to rise or stay sideways at the minimum. When you sell a Put, you earn a Premium (from the buyer of the Put). You have sold someone the right to sell you the stock at the strike price. If the stock price increases beyond the strike price, the short put position will make a profit for the seller by the amount of the premium, since the buyer will not exercise the Put option and the Put seller can retain the Premium (which is his maximum profit). But, if the stock price decreases below the strike price, by more than the amount of the premium, the Put seller will lose money. The potential loss being unlimited (until the stock price fall to zero). A STUDY ON HOW OPTIONS AND ITS STRATIGIES HELP TO MAKE MONEY

When to Use: Investor is very Bullish on the stock / index. The main idea is to make a short term income. Risk: Put Strike Price Put Premium. Reward: Limited to the amount of Premium received. Breakeven: Put Strike Price - Premium

ANALYSIS: Selling Puts can lead to regular income in a rising or range bound markets. But it should be done carefully since the potential losses can be significant in case the price of the stock / index falls. This strategy can be considered as an income generating strategy.

REPORTS AND EXPERIENCE

Working at NARNOLIA SECURITIES LIMITED was largely an overwhelming experience with gaining insights to a number of new things. The On-The Job experience made it a worthwhile Internship, which gave me a great real time Industry experience. All is not the same in real life as we read in books and on net about the working methods of different divisions and segments. Each segment in an organization has its own work culture followed by the members. I had to put in my own efforts and take initiative to learn and gain maximum knowledge possible during this period. Primarily, the description of my work as a Management Trainee was to gain knowledge about OPTIONS. The work assigned definitely required awareness and understanding of the all the investment options available and there uses. Any investment option will carry risk, I was required to know how OPTIONS reduces risk and why shall it be looked upon as an investment option. I in NARNOLIA SECURITIES LIMITED learned about different ways to invest which will help me to boost up my profits. During the entire internship process I was told to do assignments. Doing assignments was very challenging. I was required to do assignments on all investment options available and after completing my assignments I was able to decide that OPTIONS is the investment avenue where people can park their money. Though it requires little knowledge and understanding, but once the concept is clear it is a useful tool to generate profits. I also did company study on L&T and Wipro Technologies Limited which gave me insights about these companies.

CONCLUSION

Interning at NARNOLIA SECURITIES LIMITED, RANCHI, was an enriching experience. Though as an intern my main motive was to learn more about PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES (PMS) but the facilitator focused more on options because I had knowledge about PMS but not about OPTIONS. After learning about OPTIONS I concluded that I had been ignoring a very useful investment avenue. NARNOLIA SECURITIES LIMITED as an organization caters to the need of retail investors by educating them about pros and cons of investments and facilitating the best suitable portfolio for their clients. In spite of the fact that its presence is restricted to the eastern India, it has never compromised on the quality and variety of services. The reason for the success of Narnolia Securities Limited is the quality research center, experts and relationship executives they have. I personally was influenced by the customization services they offer to each and every client. As an intern I was also encouraged to work on PMS but the councilor found that learning about OPTIONS will be more useful. Lastly. I would like to thank NARNOLIA SECUTITIES LIMITED for giving me valuable time and learning guidance on OPTIONS.
