Paisawaisa- Financial Solutions

Believe it or not…..it’s the good times ahead for the investors in the Indian stock market. Though, the market was badly hurt by the impact of global slowdown and then Dubai financial crisis it is now functioning smoothly. The whole market scenario is now set to change in favor of the investors. BSE Sensex rose with the double growth rate in just 140 trading sessions. Sensex is now hovering around 17,000 mark, which was around 8500 points in March 2009. No-doubt, the wind in the stock market is now blowing in favor of the the investors.

The improving health status of the market is also evident from the fact that more and more companies are now heading for Indian IPO stock market to generate adequate capital to meet their future expansion plans. JSW Energy is among many other companies which have decided to take the route of IPO market. The Indian government is also considering the option for a 5 per cent discount in the upcoming public offers. The planned move is surely going to encourage more and more investors to come forward and invest in the public issues.

At present, the stock market is in the recovery mode and is expected to go upwards modestly. However there is no denying the fact that global financial markets are still reeling under the recession effects, and will take a bit longer time to recover. Many Western and European economies are surviving on the back of large bailouts by their governments, and once these authorities decide to put an end to these bailout packages, global economy will again feel the heat of recession.

As far as Indian economy and market is concerned, it is in the repair phase and the present time seems to be the happy hours for the investors. After global slowdown and Dubai crisis, finally there is something, investors in India can raise their toasts for.

Must have been reading numerous news of India’s recovery from global slowdown, and the 7.9 per cent growth rate in the second quarter of current fiscal! Everyone seems to believe that Indian economy is now completely out of the recession woods, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with the Indian IPO stock market. You may not agree, but this is what’s happening in the global markets. First, the global markets suffered heavy losses due to the economic meltdown, leading to drastic fall in investors confidence. And now, it is the Dubai debt crisis which is hitting hard the investor confidence, as is evident from the current market scenario in India.

JSW Energy, Lakshmi Vilas Bank and Emaar MGF are among the companies in India, which have recently headed to initial public issue for funding their expansion plans. Going by the statement of JSW Energy Ltd’s Chairman and Managing Director Sajjan Jindal, the total size of its initial public issue is Rs.2,700 cr. Many more companies are also planning the same route for raising funds to fund their future plans. However these companies are now not expecting great guns from the investors, and the situation is likely to get worse, on the back of Dubai cash crisis. Investors are likely to remain picky about the market and will prefer to wait till the market stabilizes.

However India’s Finance Minister is making whole-hearted efforts to boost investor confidence in the markets by saying that the country has a very limited exposure to Dubai financial markets and thus the impact would be negligible. He also seems to favor the continuation of stimulus packages to boost domestic demand and mitigate the impact of global slowdown. All these measures are sure to boost investor confidence in the Indian IPO market and will help the companies to raise funds for expansion.

‘Stock’ in a layman language is a piece of business (a wealth maximizing activity) that people can buy. The person who buys the stock is called the stockholder.

The stock market is probably more like a virtual battlefield which balances itself on a razor-thin edge. Traders participating actively in stock market almost every single day faces new challenges thrown at them. And it is up to NSE top gainers to retain their established market position. Thus, you see, stock market is just an another name for the overall facilitation of the buying and selling of shares of ownership in companies.

Just Imagine that you run a business. If at any point of time you want to divide your business into several different pieces and want to sell them you would definitely need to issues stock. So in simple terms, stock is the ownership in the company.

The money that you will raise via selling those pieces of your business can be utilized in building new plants and facilities or you can pay down debt, or acquire another entity. A smart owner will at least keep around 51% or more of the stock, which will allow him/her to retain control of the day to day activities in the business concern. Any person or institution that holds more than majority of the stock is called the “controlling shareholder”. Essentially, this person or the holding body has the power to control the operations of the concern.

Now where the stocks are sold and purchased, is known as stock market. It is basically a public market where trading of the stock of the entities and derivatives is carried out at an agreed-upon price. The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges that can be anything ranging from entities to Joint stock organisations and even mutual organisation.

There is a term that you should be aware of before entering into stock market and that term is Sensex. Basically a Sensex is an index. The next question that arises is what is an index? An index is basically an indicator that gives you an abridged idea about whether the stocks have rose or plunged. Sensex is the indicator of all the major entities of the BSE and likewise Nifty is the indicator of all the major entities of the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Most of the websites today provides sensex news alerts and updates on daily basis on the mobile phones, channels and even radios.

If the sensex goes up, that implies the prices of the stock of most of the major entities listed on the BSE have gone up and if vice-versa, that tells you the stock price of the major entities have slumped. So, Sensex news are the vital part of stock market as it tells you about top gainers, losers of the day, new entries, latest developments etc.

So, now if you are reading my blog, you will at least have an idea of what all these things means and how stock market works. I know this is an rough idea but i’ll definitely come up with a brief detail in the near future.

These days, if you go by the reports which are publishing in the newspapers, you will suspect the stock market future of India. Nevertheless, there are positive reports as well, which are true according to the people who have sound knowledge about the share market business. Those who have made good money through the stock exchange are in doubt that the market will pick up in future. I believe that the future of stock exchange is sound and I have found people who are investing their money with surety that the market will pick up very soon and their investment will bring heavy profit to them.

Anybody who wishes to move into the Indian stock market business needs at least two years of experience in stock broking firm to become a good stock broker. People who aspire to move into this business may do some courses also. These courses are especially designed by the highly expert individuals to satisfy the needs and desires of the individuals, who are looking for such a business in the near future.

The Indian stock market refers to NSE and BSE. The NSE stands for National Stock Exchange and the BSE stands for the Bombay Stock Exchange. In my opinion, the obvious reason for the miserable condition of the share market is that the people are fearing to buy financial products like mutual funds, equity shares, insurance policies and so on. But there are wise people also, who are still investing in the stock market because they know that the business of shares is showing the signs of progress.

If you are interested in the trade of buying and sharing shares, it would be good for you to read the sensex news on the regular basis. The Indian sensex has seen various ups and downs in the past few years. In 2008, the sensex has faced lots of ups and downs. I think that the simple reason behind that is the poor performance of some vital sectors such as IT, banking, real estate to name a few. Now, according to the latest sensex news, the Indian stock market and economy of India is improving and thus, I am sure, that there will be lots of opportunities in future in terms of investment.

The Winter is about to over and the Indian stock market also takes a new change. In the last week, the stock exchange had a good rise which brings smile in the faces of many stock traders. Otherwise, in the last few months it was quite difficult to make good profits. The government’s financial package and the Reserve Bank of India’s measures have contributed much to the Indian stock market. Still there are many individuals who are suffering from the worst effects of the recession. I feel pity upon those who have lost their jobs in the last couple of months. Well, media has reported that the job losers would definitely be hired by the banking sectors.

Everything is getting cheap right from home loans, investment plans, buying of shares and fuel prices. It is quite surprising to see various banks hiring a good number of employees in the present time. Some of the names of the national banks which are carrying out the hiring process are the State Bank of India, UCO bank, Allahabad Bank etc. On other hand, the names of the private banks which have also started hiring more individuals are HDFC and ICCI banks. Nowadays, buying stocks have become quite cheaper but the traders are running out of money. Investors who continuously invest money in the stock exchange are facing the crunch of money. It is the best time for people who have got enough money in their savings accounts, as they can utilise this money for buying shares. If you do not have a demat account for participating in the stock exchange then you should hurry up for opening this account as soon as possible. Do not miss this golden opportunity for making extra amount of money.
