CHAPTER-2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION Investment is the employment of funds in order to achieve addition income or growth in value. Investment involves waiting for a reward. It involves the commitment of resources which have been saved or put away from current consumption. In the hope that some benefits will accrue in the future. Investment has been further categorized by financial expert and economist. FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT Investment is the allocation of monetary resources to assets that are expected to yield some gain or positive return over a given period of time. These assets may range from safe investment. Economic investment means the net additional to the economies of the stock which consists of goods and services used in production of other goods and services. The financial and economic meanings of investments are related to each other because an investment is a part of the savings of individuals. MEANING OF EQUITY Equity is term whose meaning depends very much on the context. In general, you can think of equity as ownership in any assets after all debts associated with that asset are paid off. Share or equity represents part of an ownership of a business. So as a shareholder you own a piece of the action that happens in that business. Why would you want a piece of the action? For the rewards of course. As a shareholder you have a right over. Common stocks, are equity because they represent ownership of a company where as bonds are classified as debt because they represent an obligation to pay no ownership of assets.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMON STOCK Two most important characteristics of common stock as an investments are its residual claim and limited liability features. Residual claim means that stockholders are the last in line of all those who have on the assets and income and income of the corporation. Limited liability means that the most shareholders can loss in the events of failure of the corporation is there original investment. A stock market is a market for the trading of company stock, and derivatives of same; both those securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately. Although common, the term stock market is a somewhat abstract concept for the mechanism that trading of company stocks. It is also used to describe the totality of all stocks, especially within one country, for example in the phrase the stock market was up today, or in the tern stock market bubble. It is distinct from a stock exchange. , which is an entity (a corporation or mutual organization) in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of stocks together. For example, the stock markets in the united states includes the trading of stocks listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX, and also on the OTCBB and pink sheets. The stock market is one of the most important sources for companies to raise money. Experience has taught us that the price of shares and other assets is an important part of the dynamics of economic growth. Rising share prices, for insurance, tend to be associated with increased business investment and vise verse. Share prices also affect the wealth of households and their consumption. Therefore, central banks tend to keep an Argus eye on the development of the stock market and reflect on how the financial system functions. Another reason is the oversight of financial stability.

TRADING

Participants in the stock market range from small private stock investors to large hedge fund traders, who can be based anywhere. Their orders end op with a professional at the stock exchange, who executes the order.

BRIEF HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE THE BRIEF OF STOCK EXCHANGES IN India back to the 1840s. there were 50-60 brokers led by the legendary Premchand, Royachand. They formed the back bone of share floatation by the East India Company and a few commercial banks. In 1875, native share and stock broker association. A voluntary non-profit association of person it mobilized funds for industrial growth and government securities, especially of Bombay port trust and Bombay Municipality. A similar organization was set up in Ahmadabad in 1894. As a result of the swadesi movement and the coal boom of 190408, Kolkata became another major center of share trading and exchange was set up in 1908. During inter war years, as the demanded and new ones were floated. Yet other stock exchange was started in madras in 1920. The stock exchange in Hydrabad and Delhi started operation in the years 1943 and 1947, rasp [actively. At the time of independence, there seven stock exchanges functioning in major cities of the country]. From the seven stock exchanges in 1946, the country moved to form a total of 19 stock exchanges by 1990. There were 5,698 companies listed as against 1,125 in 1946. The paid up capital of these companies multiplied many fold forms Rs 270 corers in1946 to 27,761 corers in 1990.the market capitalization of listed companies pumped for Rs 971 corers in 1946 to 70,521 corers in 1990. From the nineties, started the current phase under which Indian stock exchanges are undergoing a rapid transition to be at par with stock exchange in the developed world. Before 1990, the trading system was open outcry system with scripts classified as non-specified or cash scripts that were compulsory settled with delivery at the end of settlement. There were long and varying periods for specified and non-specified share in the old cleaning system because of the interaction involved in the physical form the shares. Present there are 23 recognized stock exchanges with 6000 stock brokers. A stock exchange or share market is a corporation or mutual organization which provides facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade company stocks and other securities. Stock exchanges also provides facilities

for the issues and redemption of securities, as well as. Other financial instruments and capital events including the payment of income and dividends. The securities traded to a stock exchange include: share issued by companies, unit trusts and other pooled investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there. Usually there is a central location at least for record keeping, but trade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are electronic networks, which gives those advantages of speed and cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. Supply and demand in stock markets are driven by various factors which, as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks (see stock valuation). There I usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange itself, not must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such trading is said to be off exchange or over-the-counter. This is the way that bonds are traded. Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market for securities. THE ROLE OF STOCK EXCHANGES Raising capital for businesses: The stock exchange provides companies with the facility to raise capital for expansion through selling shares to the investing public. Mobilizing savings for investment: What people draw their savings and invest in shares, it leads to a more rational allocation of resources because funds, which could have been consumed, or kept in idle deposits with banks, are mobilized and redirected to promote business activity with benefits of several economic sector such as agriculture, commerce and industry, resulting in a stronger economic growth and higher productivity levels. Facilitating company growth: Companies view acquisition as an opportunity to expand product lines, increase distribution channels, hedge against volatility, increase its market share, or acquire other necessary business asset. A takeover bid or a merger agreement through the stock market is one of the simplest and most common ways for a company to grow by acquisition or fusion. Redistribution of wealth: stock exchanges do not exist to redistribute wealth although casual and professional stock investor through stock price increase (that may result in capital gains for the investor) and dividends get a chance to share in the wealth of profitable business. Corporate governance: By having a wide and varied scope of owners, companies generally tend to improve on their management standards and

efficiency in order to satisfy the demands of these shareholders and the more stringent rules for public corporation imposed by public stock exchanges and the government. Consequently, it is alleged that public companies (companies that are owned by shareholders who are members of the general public and trade shares on public exchanges). Tend to have better management records then privately-held companies (those companies where shares are not publicly trades, often owned by a small group of investors). However, some well-documented cases are known where it is alleged that there has been considerable slippage in corporate governance on the part of some public companies pets.com (2000), Enron Corporation (2001), One Tel (2001), Sunbeam (2001), Web van (2001), Adelphi (2002), MCI World.com (2002) or Parmalat (2003) are among the most scrutinized by the media).

Creating investment opportunities for small investor: As opposed to other businesses that require huge capital outlay, investing in shares is open to both the large and small stock investors because a person buyers the number of shares they can afford. Therefore the stock exchange provides the opportunity for small investors to own shares of the same companies large investors, and to enjoy similar rates of return(s). Government capital-rising for development projects: Governments at various levels may decide to borrow money in order to finance infrastructure projects such as sewage members of the public buy them, thus loaning money to the government. The insurance of such bounds with the full faith and credit of the government instead of with collateral, the result is that the government must tax the citizens or otherwise raise additional funds to make any regular coupon payments and refund the principal when the bounds mature. Barometer of the economy: At the exchanges, share prices rise and fall depending, largely, on market forces. Share prices tend to rise or remain stable when companies and the economy in general show signs of stability and growth. An economic depression or financial crisis eventually leads to a stock market cash. Therefore the movement of share prices and in general of the stock indexes can be an indicator of the economy.
