THEORY OF SHARE MARKET
Stock Exchange :- A common platform where buyers and sellers come together
to transact in stocks and shares. It may be a physical entity where brokers trade
on a physical trading floor via an "open outcry" system or a virtual environment.
Electronic Trading :- Electronic trading eliminates the need for physical trading floors.
Brokers can trade from their offices, using fully automated screen-based processes. Their
workstations are connected to a Stock Exchange's central computer via satellite using Very Small
Aperture Terminus (VSATs). The orders placed by brokers reach the Exchange's central computer
and are matched electronically.
Stock Exchanges in India :- The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and the National
Stock Exchange (NSE) are the country's two leading Exchanges. There are 20 other regional
Exchanges, connected via the Inter-Connected Stock Exchange (ICSE). The BSE and NSE allow
nationwide trading via their VSAT systems.
Stock :- The word stock simply refers to a supply. You may have a stock of T-
shirts in your closet, or a stock of pencils in your desk. In the financial market, stock refers to
a supply of money that a company has raised. This supply comes from people who have given
the company money in the hope that the company will make their money grow.
A market is a public place where things are bought and sold. The term "stock market" refers
to the business of buying and selling stock. The stock market is not a specific place, though
some people use the term "Wall Street"—the main street in New York City's financial district—
to refer to the U.S. stock market in general.
Why People Buy it :- Owning stock in a company means owning part of that
company. Each part is known as a share. If a company has issued 100 shares of stock, and
you bought one, you own 1% of that company. People who own stock are called stockholders, or
shareholders.
Stockholders hope the company will earn money as it grows. If a company earns money, the
stockholders share the profits. Over time, people usually earn more from owning stock than from
leaving money in the bank, buying bonds, or making other investments
Funny fractions :- In April 2002, all stock exchanges in the U.S. began trading
their stocks in dollars and cents.
For instance, the price of a particular stock might go up $1.10. This means that the price of a
stock increased $1.10 over its previous price. If a share of stock had been worth $10, it would
now be worth $11.10. This is different from the earlier system, when stocks were traded in
fractions based on 1/8th. If a stock worth $10 went up 1 and 5/8ths, it meant that the stock had
risen $1 plus 5/8ths of a dollar in price, or a total of $1.62. In other words, if each share had been
worth $10 previously, it would now be worth $11.62. But why divide each dollar into eighths
when it could simply be divided into hundredths—a hundred pennies, to be exact? It's because
the U.S. dollar is a relatively new kind of currency. When the stock market opened at the end of
the eighteenth century, prices were based on the Spanish dollar, which is divided into eighths.
Bears and Bulls :- Bears are cautious animals who don't like to move too fast. Bulls are
bold animals who might charge right ahead. An investor is said to be "bearish" if he or she
believes the stock market will go down. A "bearish" investor will buy stock cautiously. A
"bullish" investor believes the market will go up. He or she will charge ahead and put more
money into the market. An investor can be bearish or bullish about a particular kind of stock.
Likewise, the term "bear market" describes a time when stock prices have been falling on the
whole. A "bull market" is a period when stock prices are generally rising.
Broadly , the comprises of two segments – the new issue market which is commonly
known as primary market and the stock market which is known as secondary market.
Primary
A primary offering, such as with a corporate bond, means you are buying it
directly from the issuer, at par value, usually. A secondary market is where you sell or
buy existing issues. I.E. If you bought a bond last year, now need to get your principal,
you can sell it in the secondary market. You may not get par value. If rates are up since
you bought the bond, then you will likely have to sell it at a discount to be able to get rid
of it. If rates have fallen since you bought it, you could get a premium for it.
Secondary
The market where securities are traded after they are initially offered in the primary market.
Most trading is done in the secondary market. To explain further, it is trading in previously
issued financial instruments. An organized market for used securities. Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE), National Stock Exchange NSE, bond markets, over-the-counter markets, residential
mortgage loans, governmental guaranteed loans etc
Secondary Market refers to a market where securities are traded after being initially offered
to the public in the primary market and/or listed on the Stock Exchange. Majority of the trading
is done in the secondary market. Secondary market comprises of equity markets and the debt
markets. For the general investor, the secondary market provides an efficient platform for
trading of his securities. For the management of the company, Secondary equity markets serve
as a monitoring and control conduit—by facilitating value-enhancing control activities, enabling
implementation of incentive-based management contracts, and aggregating information (via
price discovery) that guides management decisions.
A stock market or equity market is a public market (a loose network of economic transactions,
not a physical facility or discrete entity) for the trading of company stock and derivatives at an
agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded
privately.
The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion US at the beginning of
October 2008.[1] The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion
face or nominal value,[2] 11 times the size of the entire world economy.[3] The value of the
derivatives market, because it is stated in terms of notional values, cannot be directly compared
to a stock or a fixed income security, which traditionally refers to an actual value. Moreover, the
vast majority of derivatives 'cancel' each other out (i.e., a derivative 'bet' on an event occurring is
offset by a comparable derivative 'bet' on the event not occurring). Many such relatively illiquid
securities are valued as marked to model, rather than an actual market price.
The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities of a corporation or mutual
organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of the organizations to a
listing of stocks and securities together. The stock market in the United States is NYSE while in
Canada, it is the Toronto Stock Exchange. Major European examples of stock exchanges include
the London Stock Exchange, Paris Bourse, and the Deutsche Börse. Asian examples include the
Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange,the Bombay Stock Exchange and the
Karachi Stock Exchange. In Latin America, there are such exchanges as the BM&F Bovespa and
the BMV.
