BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
Having its headquarters in Mumbai, the BSE SENSEX is the stock index or SENSitive indEX of the BSE. The oldest stock exchange of Asia, the BSE SENSEX, also known as BSE 30, is the focal stock index of India. There are 4800 companies listed with the BSE. As of July 2007, the total equity market capitalization of the Bombay Stock Exchange was US$ 1.005 trillion. The Singapore Exchange has become an alliance of BSE by acquiring a strategic investment in the BSE.
 GENESIS OF BSE
Way back in 1986, the BSE introduced the stock index that eventually became the most important stock index of the country. The SENSEX was based on market-capitalisation-weighted method and included stocks of some of the top financial houses. Noted financial analyst and columnist, Mr. Deepak Mohoni in the year 1990, introduced the term “BSE SENSEX” which is an acronym for Bombay Stock Exchange SENSitive indEX. Since September 2003, the SENSEX is measured on the method of free-float capitalisation.
MARKET INDICES
Apart from maintaining the BSE SENSEX, the Bombay Stock Exchange also maintains stock indices like:
<ul> 
 
<li>SENSEX</li> 
 
<li>MIDCAP</li> 
 
<li>SMLCAP</li> 
 
<li>BSE-100</li> 
 
<li>BSE-200</li> 
 
<li>BSE-500</li> 
 
</ul> 
 
The BSE gives information on the price, charting, announcements, company contact, shareholding pattern and results of the companies that are enlisted in the exchange. The Board of Directors, encompassing eminent financial professionals, Managing Director of the exchange, and the representatives of the Trading Members, maintain the overall functionality of the exchange.
BSE also gives the Beta value of the SENSEX Scrips, Beta being calculated by the formula: Beta = Co-Variance (SENSEX, Stock)/Variance (SENSEX).
While listing securities that may be from public limited companies, central government, state governments or other financial institutions, there are certain objectives followed by the BSE:
<ul> 
 
<li>Protect the interest of the investors by giving full disclosures</li> 
 
<li>Provide liquidity to securities</li> 
 
<li>Mobilise savings to enable economic development</li> 
 
</ul>

Using Market Fear To Your Advantage

1. vaibhao (14:00, 08.06.2009)

sir please send me some easy step for share marketing and easy notes for begineers on my mail

2. sharegyan (08:17, 31.07.2008)

Hi,

Once again after crash Nifty has started going up. Now we suggest all rises should be used as an opportunity to exit old long positions.
This bull run will continue for few more days. Overall market is in bearish mood as in medium term its just a small rally due to short covering
and result season.

Happy Trading,
