a) Overview
The time one talks about stock market, another word also clicks and that is risk. People have
lost their millions in the stock market. This is a place of gambling for those who dont knowwhere to invest. The market behaves differently to differently people. The speculators are one
who loose most of the money. There are hedgers who keep risk in their mind but try to
minimize it by using different strategies. Though hedging doesnt always give good returns
but it helps one to take out his money with remarkable profits.
Lot of analysis is required to decide in which instrument one should invest. Many people
think that particular time is the best time to invest but the fact is that it depends on the
investor and his capacity to take risk and invest not the time. Before stepping into investment
process one should get the entire knowledge about the financial instrument options available
in the market and the risk factor involved with the instrument and the estimated returns the
investor would probably get.

value of portfolio i.e. there is no leveraging; but being short in Nifty allows you to earn
even in falling markets and there by generates linear
BETA PORTFOLIO:Positional trading opportunities are identified in the futures
segment based on technical analysis. Inflection points in the momentum cycles are
identified to go long/short on stock/index futures with 1-2 month time horizon. The

direction of the market without really leveraging beyond the portfolio value. Risk
protection is done based on stop losses on daily closing prices.

term momentum of 5-10 days in stocks and stocks/index futures. Trailing stop loss

MUTUAL FUNDS: These are funds operated by an investment company which raises
money from the public and invests in a group of assets (shares, debentures etc.), in
accordance with a stated set of objectives. It is a substitute for those who are unable to invest
directly in equities or debt because of resource, time or knowledge constraints. Benefits
include professional money management, buying in small amounts and diversification.
Mutual fund units are issued and redeemed by the Fund Management Company based on the
fund's net asset value (NAV), which is determined at the end of each trading session. NAV is
calculated as the value of all the shares held by the fund, minus expenses, divided by the
number of units issued. Mutual Funds are usually long term investment vehicle though there
some categories of mutual funds, such as money market mutual funds which are short term
instruments. Types of mutual funds are discussed below:
CLOSE END MUTUAL FUND
A closed-end mutual fund has a set number of shares issued to the public through an initial
public offering. These funds have a stipulated maturity period generally ranging from 3 to 15
years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors can invest
in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the
units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where they are listed.
Once underwritten, closed-end funds are trade on stock exchanges like stocks or bonds. The
market price of closed-end funds is determined by supply and demand and not by net-asset
value (NAV), as is the case in open-end funds. Usually closed mutual funds are trade at
discounts to their underlying asset value.
OPEN END MUTUAL FUND
Open-end funds raise money by selling shares of the fund to the public, in a manner similar
to any other company, which sell its stock to raise the capital. An open-end mutual fund does
not have a set number of shares. It continues to sell shares to investors and will buy back
shares when investors wish to sell. Units are bought and sold at their current net asset value.
Open-end funds are required to calculate their net asset value (NAV) daily. Since the NAV
of an open-end fund is calculated daily, it serves as a useful measure of its fair market value
on a per-share basis. The NAV of the fund is calculated by dividing the fund's assets minus
liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. Open-end funds usually charge an entry or
exit load from the investors.
LARGE-CAP MUTUAL FUNDS

combination of common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and short-term bonds

DERIVATIVES
Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic variables,
called underlying. The underlying asset can be equity, index, foreign exchange (forex),
commodity or any other asset. Derivative products initially emerged as hedging devices
against fluctuations in commodity prices and commodity-linked derivatives remained the
sole form of such products for almost three hundred years. The financial derivatives came
into spotlight in post-1970 period due to growing instability in the financial markets.
However, since their emergence, these products have become very popular and by 1990s,
they accounted for about two-thirds of total transactions in derivative products.
TYPES OF DERIVATIVES
FORWARDS: A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where
settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at todays pre-agreed price.
FUTURES: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at
a certain time in the future at a certain price. Futures contracts are special types of forward
contracts in the sense that the former are standardized exchange-traded contracts, such as
futures of the Nifty index.
OPTIONS: An Option is a contract which gives the right, but not an obligation, to buy or
sell the underlying at a stated date and at a stated price. While a buyer of an option pays the
premium and buys the right to exercise his option, the writer of an option is the one who
receives the option premium and therefore obliged to sell/buy the asset if the buyer exercises
it on him. Options are of two types - Calls and Puts options:
'Calls give the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy a given quantity of the
underlying asset, at a given price on or before a given future date.
Puts give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a given quantity of underlying
asset at a given price on or before a given future date.
Presently, at NSE futures and options are traded on the Nifty, CNX IT, BANK Nifty and 116
single stocks.
WARRANTS: Options generally have lives of up to one year. The majority of options
traded on exchanges have maximum maturity of nine months. Longer dated options are
called Warrants and are generally traded over-the counter.

PRECAUTIONS ONE MUST TAKE BEFORE INVESTING IN THE STOCK
MARKETS
Here are some useful pointers to bear in mind before you invest in the markets:
Make sure your broker is registered with SEBI and the exchanges and do not deal
with unregistered intermediaries.
Ensure that you receive contract notes for all your transactions from your broker
within one working day of execution of the trades.
All investments carry risk of some kind. Investors should always know the risk that
they are taking and invest in a manner that matches their risk tolerance.
Do not be misled by market rumors, luring advertisement or hot tips of the day.
Take informed decisions by studying the fundamentals of the company. Find out the
business the company is into, its future prospects, quality of management, past track
record etc Sources of knowing about a company are through annual reports,
economic magazines, database available with vendors or your financial advisor.
If your financial advisor or broker advises you to invest in a company you have never
heard of, be cautious. Spend some time checking out about the company before
investing.
Do not be attracted by announcements of fantastic results/news reports, about a
company. Do your own research before investing in any stock.
Do not be attracted to stocks based on what an internet website promotes, unless you
have done adequate study of the company.
Be cautious about stocks which show a sudden spurt in price or trading activity.
Any advice or tip that claims that there are huge returns expected, especially for
acting quickly, ma y be risky and may to lead to losing some, most, or all of your
money.
c) Problems of the organisation
Sometimes there are unknown reasons on the basis of which markets operate and the
findings of the project may not hold true in such cases. That is the reason why the
market is sometimes called as Irrational creature.

Mostly investors who invest in the stock market have money and they just want to
invest with no predefined objectives in mind and hence they rely upon the suggestions
of the distributors and marketing executives, which deviates the actual behaviour from
the expected behaviour.
Lack of awareness of stock market: since the area is not known before, it takes a lot of
time in convincing people to invest in share market
Some respondents are unwilling to talk or they dont have time to respond.
Misleading concepts: some people think that shares are too risky and are just another
name of gamble. But its not at all risky for long term investors.

Questionnaire Design
In our survey, answers were of interest not intrinsically but because there exists a relationship
to something we were supposed to measure. Our questionnaire was reliable and provided
consistent results. In comparable situations, and valid; answers correspond to what they are
intended to measure. It is always what they are intended to measure. It was always important
to us to remember that the answers are valuable to us to the extent that it can be shown to
have a predictable relationship to facts or subjective states that are of interest.
There were two main objectives in mind while designing the questionnaire:
To maximize the proportion of subjects answering our questionnaire that is, the
response rate.
To obtain accurate relevant information for our survey.

ONLINE SHARE TRADING
Online share trading is done with the help of computer, internet connection and with trading
or de-mat account is called online share trading, or we can say that online trading is the
trading of securities via the internet. If you would like to do online share trading then you
should have a computer, internet connection and online trading account. It is done via internet
means that all the transaction are settled electronically.
Advantages:
The first and main benefit of this is that in online trading the member does not need to
go to the share market for checking, which consumes a lot of time. All the
information about shares, stock market is just one click away and it has made trading
much simple, easy and attractive.
Dependence on broker or anybody else is nil for placing or squaring off the order. In
short one is his/her own boss for trading of shares.
Its not possible or viable for a broker to update customers about each and every news
of the market or any news which can have any influence on the share market. So if
someone is doing online trading himself, then a disaster can be averted. People can
get news and updates on various websites and also on their online trading system and
most of the information will be free of cost.
All the transactions and related documents can be seen online and can also be
downloaded to the PC without depending on any broker. Status of the amount can
also be checked on daily basis through online trading system.
Disadvantages
One may face a problem of disconnection from internet and hence will not be able to
login-in and do share trading.
One may also face problem like electricity cut-off and at that time one has to call his
broker and place the order for execution.
Due to all of the above advantages it is clear that the trading in India is spreading like fire and
is surely going to increase in the future.

OFFLINE SHARE TRADING
In offline trading the transactions are done through the phone and when to buy or sell is
directed through phone. In other words trading will be done by another person on ones
behalf based on the instructions given by one, and then the other person can be a broker. The
broker will do buying and selling of shares on ones behalf depending on the instructions
given by one. This type of trading was done in the past but nowadays most of the trading is
done through computers i.e. online. E.g. Suppose that if Mr. X wants to sell n number of
shares when the share price reaches Rs. 100, then X will tell his broker to sell the share at Rs
100 (i.e. when the price of Rs. 100 is reached).
Nevertheless, with all the convenience of online trading there are still investors who prefer
the old fashion way of offline trading. Offline trading has lost some popularity but it is still
the main form of investing. Offline trading offers many benefits as well.
Advantages:
The one benefit that an investor appreciates the most is that they are not alone when
making investment decisions.
There are experienced and professional brokerage companies that handle their
investments for them.
Investors are not faced with the challenge of making these vital investment decisions;
especially, if they do not have the experience necessary to make the appropriate
investments.
Also, there is someone there to answer any questions that may cause concerns.
Not to mention, with offline trading mistakes are less likely to take place. No one wants to
throw their money away or stand by and watch someone else throw their money away. It may
be wise to hire a professional to assist you in making the correct investment decisions if youfeel you lack the knowledge necessary.
The reason why online trading has emerged is due to the emergence of IT. Doing transactions
online is always advantageous and easy plus less time is taken by doing transactions online.
Also following are the disadvantages of doing transactions offline:
Not the cheapest fees available.

Stock Market
Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200 years
ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meager and obscure. The East India
Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan securities used
to be transacted towards the close of the eighteenth century.
By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took place in
Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers
recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850.
The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage business
attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased into 60.
In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply from United States of
Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers increased
to about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, a disastrous
slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850 could only be
sold at Rs. 87).
In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers'
Association" (which is alternatively known as "The Stock Exchange"). In 1895, the Stock
Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the
Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.
Thus in the same way, gradually with the passage of time number of exchanges were
increased and at currently it reached to the figure of 24 stock exchanges.

TRANSACTION CYCLE:
A person holding assets (Securities/Funds), either to meet his liquidity needs or to reshuffle
his holdings in response to changes in his perception about risk and return of the assets,
decides to buy or sell the securities. He selects a broker and instructs him to place buy/sell
order on an exchange. The order is converted to a trade as soon as it finds a matching
sell/buy order. At the end of the trade cycle, the trades are netted to determine the obligations
of the trading members securities/funds as per settlement cycle. Buyer/seller delivers funds/
securities and receives securities/funds and acquires ownership of the securities.
A securities transaction cycle is presented above. Just because of this Transaction cycle, the
whole business of Securities and Stock Broking has emerged. And as an extension of stock
broking, the business of Online Stock broking/ Online Trading/ E-Broking has emerged.

At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers who thrived out of Civil War in 1874,
found a place in a street (now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they would
conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established in Bombay,
the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively known as The
Stock Exchange "). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it
was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.
