What Is Stock? Imagine you wanted to start a retail store with members of your family. You decide you need Rs.100,000 to get the business off the ground so you incorporate a new company. You divide the company into 1,000 pieces, or "shares" of stock. (They are called this because each piece of stock is entitled to a proportional share of the profit or loss). You price each new share of stock at Rs.100. If you can sell all of the shares to your family members, you should have the Rs.100,000 you need (1,000 shares x Rs.100 contributed capital per share = Rs.100,000 cash raised for the company). If the store earned Rs.50,000 after taxes during its first year, each share of stock would be entitled to 1/1,000th of the profit. You'd take Rs.50,000 and divide it by 1,000, resulting in Rs.50.00 earnings per share (or EPS). You could call a meeting of the company's Board of Directors (these are the people the stockholders elected to watch over their interest since they couldn't run the business) and decide to use the money to pay dividends, repurchase, or expand the company by reinvesting in the retail store. At some point, you may decide you want to sell your shares of the family retailer. If the company is large enough, you could trade on a stock exchange. That's what is happening when you buy or sell shares of a company through a stock broker. You are telling the market you are interested in acquiring or selling shares of a certain company and Wall Street matches you up with someone and takes fees and commissions for doing it. Alternatively, shares of stock could be issued to raise millions, or even billions, of dollars for expansion. When Sam Walton formed Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the initial public offering that resulted from him selling newly created shares of stock in his company gave him enough cash to pay off most of his debt and fund Wal-Mart's nationwide expansion.

Stock Exchange being a very vast topic, we are focusing on BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE). Introduction Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia What is now popularly known as the BSE was established as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers' Association" in 1875. Over the past 135 years, BSE has facilitated the growth of the Indian corporate sector by providing it with an efficient capital raising platform. Today, BSE is the world's number 1 exchange in the world in terms of the number of listed companies (over 4900). It is the world's 5th most active in terms of number of transactions handled through its electronic trading system. And it is in the top ten of global exchanges in terms of the market capitalization of its listed companies (as of December 31, 2009). The companies listed on BSE command a total market capitalization of USD Trillion 1.28 as of Feb, 2010. BSE is the first exchange in India and the second in the world to obtain an ISO 9001:2000 certifications. It is also the first Exchange in the country and second in the world to receive Information Security Management System Standard BS 7799-2-2002 certification for its BSE On-Line trading System (BOLT). The BSE Index, SENSEX, is India's first and most popular Stock Market benchmark index. Exchange traded funds (ETF) on SENSEX, are listed on BSE and in Hong Kong. Futures and options on the index are also traded at BSE. BSE continues to innovate:

Became the first national exchange to launch its website in Gujarati and Hindi and now Marathi Purchased of Marketplace Technologies in 2009 to enhance the inhouse technology development capabilities of the BSE and allow faster time-to-market for new products

BSE now offers AMFI Certification for Mutual Fund Advisors through BSE Training Institute (BTI) Co-location facilities for Algorithmic trading BSE also successfully launched the BSE IPO index and PSU website BSE revamped its website with wide range of new features like 'Live streaming quotes for SENSEX companies', 'Advanced Stock Reach', 'SENSEX View', 'Market Galaxy', and 'Members'

With its tradition of serving the community, BSE has been undertaking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives with a focus on Education, Health and Environment. BSE has been awarded by the World Council of Corporate Governance the Golden Peacock Global CSR Award for its initiatives in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Other Awards:

The Annual Reports and Accounts of BSE for the year ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 have been awarded the ICAI awards for excellence in financial reporting. The Human Resource Management at BSE has won the Asia - Pacific HRM awards for its efforts in employer branding through talent management at work, health management at work and excellence in HR through technology

Drawing from its rich past and its equally robust performance in the recent times, BSE will continue to remain an icon in the Indian capital market.

NEED FOR BSE BSE is one of the factors Indian Economy depends upon. BSE has played a major role in the development of the country. Through BSE, Foreign Investors have invested in India. Due to inward flow of foreign currency the, the Indian economies have started showing the upward trend towards the development of the country. BSE provides employment for many people. Trading in BSE is also a business for a few, their family income depends on it that is the reason why when scandals occur in the stock market it not only affects the companies listed but also affects many families. In the few extreme cases, it is observed that the bread winner of a family tends to suicide due to the losses occurred. In most of major industrial cities all over the world, where the businesses were evolving and required investment capital to grow and thrive, stock exchanges acted as the interface between Suppliers and Consumers of capital. One of the key advantages of the stock exchanges is that they are efficient medium for raising resources and channeling savings from the general public by the way of issue of Equity / Debt Capital by joint stock companies which are listed on stock exchanges. Not to forget that the taxes and other statutory charges paid by BSE are substantial and make a sizeable contribution to the Government exchequer (Financial resources; funds). For example, transactions on the stock exchanges are subject to stamp duties, which are paid to the State Government. The annual revenue from this source ranges from Rs 75 100 crores With the opening up of the financial markets to Foreign Investors a number of foreign institutional investors and brokers have established a sizeable presence in Mumbai.

FUNCTIONS OF BSE The Stock Market is a pivotal institution in the financial system. A wellordered stock market performs several economic functions: It ensures the measure of safety and fair dealing It performs an act of magic by translating short-term investments into long-term funds for companies. It directs the flow of capital in the most profitable channels. It induces companies to raise their standard of performance. It offers guidance to management about the cost of capital. 1. Measure of Safety and Fair Dealing: The stock exchanges operate under a regulatory framework which seeks to protect the interest of investors. The rules, regulations, and bye-laws of a stock exchange, which are approved by the central government, are meant to ensure that a reasonable measure of safety is provided to investors and transactions take place in competitive conditions which are fair to all concerned. 2. Act of Magic: Most of the investors are interested in short-term investments. The requirements of companies are, however, long-term in naturethey require equity capital on a more or less permanent basis and debenture capital for 3 to 15 years. Thanks to the negotiability and transferability of securities, through the stock market, it is possible for companies to obtain their long-term requirements from investors with short-term horizons. While one investor is substituted by another when a security is transacted, the company is assured of availability of funds.

3. Flow of Capital in the Most Profitable Channels: Companies which have more profitable investment opportunities are normally able to raise substantial funds through the stock market, whereas companies which do not have such opportunities are normally not able to do so. As a result, the stock market facilitates the direction of the flow of capital in the most profitable channels. 4. Inducement to Companies to Raise their Standard of Performance: When the equity, capital of a company is listed on a stock exchange, the performance of the company is reflected in the market price of the equity stock, which is readily available for public consumption. Put differently, the companys performance is more visible in the eyes of public. Such a public exposure normally induces companies to raise their standard of performance. 5. Guidance of Cost of Capital: The market value of the securities of company are required for computing its cost of capital. Such values can be obtained from stock market quotations. Hence the stock market offers guidance on cost of capital.

FACTORS AFFECTING BSE There are various factors that affect BSE: (a) THE KETAN PAREKH SCAM

Ketan Parekh was a graduate from HR College and CA by profession. Ketan Parekhs scam was often referred to as the one-man army or Pentafour Bull. The 176-point Sensex crash on March 1, 2001 came as a major shock for the Government of India, the stock markets and the investors alike This sudden crash in the stock markets prompted the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch immediate investigations into the volatility of stock markets. The scam shook the investor's confidence in the overall functioning of the stock markets. By the end of March 2001, at least eight people were reported to have committed suicide and hundreds of investors were driven to the brink of bankruptcy. The first arrest in the scam was of the noted bull, Ketan Parekh (KP), on March 30, 2001, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Soon, reports abounded as to how KP had single handedly caused one of the biggest scams in the history of Indian financial markets. He was charged with defrauding Bank of India (BoI) of about $30 million among other charges. KP's arrest was followed by yet another panic run on the bourses and the Sensex fell by 147 points. By this time, the scam had become the 'talk of the nation,' with intensive media coverage and unprecedented public outcry.

Bank of India along with Punjab National Bank and SBI were at the receiving end. Madhavapura Bank and Classic Cooperative Bank are the others affected. Ketan Parekh owes around Rs1.3bn to the Bank of India KPs scam was one of the major scam in India after Harshad Mehta which lost the confidence of investors in investing in share market. KPs scam is also regarded as one mans army scam. (b) FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS (FII) Foreign investment refers to investments made by residents of a country in another countrys financial assets and production processes. After the opening up of the borders for capital movement, foreign investments in India have grown enormously. It affects the productivity factor of the beneficiary or the receiver country and has the potential to create a ripple effect on the balance of payments of that country. In developing countries like India, foreign capital helps in increasing the productivity of labor and to build up foreign exchange reserves to meet the current account deficit. It provides a channel through which these countries can have access to foreign capital. Foreign investment can be of two forms: Foreign direct investment (FDI) and Foreign portfolio investment (FPI).FDI involves direct production activity and has a medium to long term investment plans. In contrast the FPI has a short term investment horizon. They mostly investment in the financial markets which consist of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). They invest in domestic financial markets like money market, stock market, foreign exchange market etc. Foreign institutional investors investments are volatile in nature, and they mostly invest in the emerging markets. They usually keep in mind the potential of a particular market to grow.

FII has lead a significant improvement in India relating to the flow of foreign capital during the period of post economic reforms. The inflow

of FII investments has helped the stock market to raise at a greater height according to financial analysts. Sensex touched a new height. It crossed 10000-mark in January 2006, which was 8073 on November 2, 2005, and 9323 in December 2005.FII participation in the Indian stock market triggers its upward movement, but, at the same time, increased liquidity through FII investment inflow increases volatility too. FIIs IMPACT ON THE INDIAN ECONOMY. The Ashok Lahiri Committee Report on encouraging FII Flows (Ministry of Finance, the Government of India) mentions some reasons for the need of FII flows. FII flows supplement and augment domestic savings and domestic investment without increasing the foreign debt of our country. Capital inflows to the equity market increase stock prices lower the cost of equity capital and encourage investment by Indian firms. The Indian stock markets are both shallow and narrow and the movement of stocks depends on limited number of stocks. As FIIs purchases and sells these stocks there is a high degree of volatility in the stock markets. If any set of development encourages outflow of capital that will increase the vulnerability of the situation. The high degree of volatility can be attributed to the following reasons: The increase in investment by FIIs increases stock indices in turn increases the stock prices and encourages further investments. In this event when any correction takes place the stock prices declines and there will be full out by the FIIs in large number as earning per share declines. The FIIs manipulate the situation of boom in such a manner that they wait till the index raises up to a certain height and exit at an appropriate time. This tendency increases the volatility further. So even though the portfolio investment by FIIs increases the flow of money in the economic system, it may create problems of inflation.

SPECULATION: It involves the buying, holding, selling, short-term selling of stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, collectible or any valuable financial instrument to profit from fluctuations in its price as opposed to buying it for use or for income via method like dividends or interest. Kinds of speculation Bull Market (Tejiwala): In case of that they purchase the shares at current prices to sell at a higher price in the near future and makes a profit if his expectations come true. He is also called a long buyer. Bear Market (Mandiwala):

He sells security in the hope that he will be able to buy them back at lesser price. It is also called short selling. Stag: He is that type of speculator who applies for a large number of shares in a new issue with the intention of selling them at a premium. He is bullish and very cautious. HIGHS AND LOWS OF BSE 15,000, July 6, 2007 The Sensex on July 6,2007 crossed the magical figure of 15,000 to touch 15,005 points in afternoon trade. Ittook seven months for the Sensex to move from 14,000 to 15,000 points. 16,000, September 19, 2007 The Sensexscaled yet another milestone during early morning trade on September 19, 2007.Within minutes after trading began, the Sensex crossed 16,000, rising by 450 points from the previous close. The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange's sensitive index took 53 days to reach 16,000 from 15,000 17,000, September 26, 2007 The Sensex scaled yet another height during early morning trade on September 26, 2007.Within minutes after trading began, the Sensex crossed the 17,000-mark . 18,000, October 09, 2007 The BSE Sensex crossed the 18,000-mark on October 09, 2007. It took just 8 days to cross 18,000 points from the 17,000 mark. The market set several new records including the biggest single day gain of 789 points at close, as well as the largest intra-day gains of 993. 19,000, October 15, 2007 The Sensex crossed the 19,000-mark backed by revival of funds-based buying in blue chip stocks in metal, capital goods and refinery sectors.The index gained the last 1,000 points injust four trading days. 20,000, October 29, 2007 The Sensex crossed the 20,000 mark on the back of aggressive buying by funds ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting. The index took only 10 trading days to gain 1,000 points after the index crossed the 19,000-mark on October 15. The major drivers were index 21,000, January 8, 2008 The sensex peaks. It crossed the 21,000 mark in intraday trading after 49 trading sessions.However, it later fell back due to profit booking.

15,200, June 13, 2008 The sensex closed below 15,200 mark, Indian market suffer with major downfall from January 21,2008 14,220, June 25, 2008 The sensex touched an intra day low of 13,731 during the early trades, then pulled back and ended up at 14,220 amidst a negative sentiment. 12,822, July 2, 2008 The sensex hit an intra day low of 12,822.70 on July 2nd, 2008.This is the lowest that it has ever been in the past year. Six months ago, on January 10th, 2008, the market had hit an all time high of 21206.70. This is a bad time for the Indian markets, although Reliance and Infosys continue to lead the way with mostly positive results. 11801.70, Oct 6, 2008 The sensex closed at 11801.70 hitting the lowest in the past 2years. 10527, Oct 10, 2008 The Sensex today closed at 10527,800.51 points down. 14284.21, May 18, 2009 After the result of15th Indian general election Sensex gained 2110.79 points from the previous close of 12173.42 these creates a new history in Indian Market. In the Opening Trade itself sensex gains 15% from the previous day close this leads to the suspension of 2 hours trade. After 2 hours sensex again surged this leads to the suspension of full day trading. There are some interesting points to note from the above data. Post 2008 crash of about 50%, one can see how the markets have performed differently in each year. In 2009, the markets gave positive returns of about 81%, in 2010 the returns were just 17% and in 2011 the returns were down 24%. The interesting point to here is the average returns are about 20%, even after the 2008 crash and 2009 boom. The lesson is pretty much clear - long term investing pays and one need not bother too much about the ups and downs of the markets.

Sensex falls Some major single-day falls of the Sensex have occurred on the following dates January 21, 2008 --- 1,408.35 points Oct 24, 2008---1070.63 points March 17, 2008 --- 951.03 points July 6, 2009 --- 870 points January 22, 2008 --- 857 points February 11, 2008 --- 833.98 points May 18, 2006 --- 826 points October 10,2008 --- 800.10 points

CONCLUSION With the increasing Globalization, the Stock Exchanges have tremendously affected the financial conditions of India. The stock markets of the future will have a redefined pupose and reinvented architecture due to the advent and widespread use of technology. Information and stock price quotations are available almost instantaneously, and, more importantly, investors can act on this data by executing a trade from anywhere at anytime. This new market will bring benefits to investors, the listed companies, and the economies of the company. Trading will become cheaper, faster and settlement will be simpler wit reduced risk. Raising capital for companies will become easier, thereby contributing directly to the Economic Growth. Already, BSE has shown its proactive response by increasingly using leading edge to technologies to effectively compete in the global environment. In the not too distant future, once full capital account convertibility is permitted in India, one could well witness an expansion of trading volumes and its resultant economic benefits to the thriving and ever young metropolis of Mumbai. Inspite of all these positive predictions, the future of Stock Exchanges is likely to be uncertain and even their survival is a major question mark.
