Investment Vs Speculation
Investor Planning Horizon Speculator Relatively longer Very short planning planning horizon, usually horizon at least one year Normally not willing to assume more risk Usually seeks a modest rate of return. Attaches greater significance to fundamental factors and attempts a careful evaluation of the prospects of the firm Typically uses his own funds. Ordinarily willing to assume high risk Looks for high rate of return Relies more heavily on hearsay, technical charts and market psychology

Risk Disposition Return Expectations Basis for decisions

Stock Market Indices


With large number of companies listed on the Bombay stock

exchange and NSE, it is not possible to look at the prices of every stock to find out whether the market movement is upward or downward.
An index is basically an indicator. It gives you a general idea

about whether most of the stocks have gone up or most of the stocks have gone down.
Some of the stock market indices are BSE Sensex, BSE-200,

NSE-50 etc.
The Sensex is an indicator of all the major companies of the BSE

and Nifty is an indicator of all the major companies of the NSE.

Computation of stock index


Suppose the Index consists of only 2 stocks: Stock A and Stock B.

Shares

Total Shares

Held by Promoters

Free Floating Shares

Current Total Market Market Price Capitali zation 120 200 120000 400000

Free Float Market Cap 96000 200000

A B

1000 2000

200 1000

800 1000

So as of today the market capitalization of the index (i.e. stocks A and B) is Rs 520,000 (Rs 120,000 + Rs 400,000); while the free-float market capitalization of the index is Rs 296,000. (Rs 96,000 + Rs 200,000).

Computation of stock index


The year 1978-79 is considered the base year of the index with a

value set to 100. What this means is that suppose at that time the market capitalization of the stocks that comprised the index then was, say, 60,000 then we assume that an index market cap of 60,000 is equal to an index-value of 100. Thus the value of the index today is = 296,000 x 100/60,000 = 493.33 This is how the Sensex is calculated. The factor 100/60000 is called index divisor. Note: During market hours, prices of the index scrips, at which latest trades are executed, are used by the trading system to calculate Sensex every 15 seconds and disseminated in real time.

Differences between the indices


The main factors that differentiate one index from the

other are given below:


1. The number of the component stocks 2. The composition of the stocks 3. The weights 4. Base year

The process of analyzing the individual securities and the

market as a whole and estimating the risk and return expected from each of the investments with a view to identifying undervalued securities for buying and overvalued securities for selling is both an art and a science and this is what is called security analysis.
Security Analysis involves the projection of future

dividend, or earnings flows, forecast of the share price in the future and estimating the intrinsic value of a security based on the forecast of earnings or dividends.

Portfolio Management
The portfolio analysis is an analysis of the risk-return

characteristics of individual securities in the portfolio and changes that may take place in combination with other securities due to interaction among themselves and impact of each one of them on others.
