HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE

The working of stock exchanges in India started in 1875. BSE is the oldest stock market in India. The

history of Indian stock trading starts with 318 persons taking membership in Native Share and Stock

Brokers Association, which we now know by the name Bombay Stock Exchange or BSE in short. In

1965, BSE got permanent recognition from the Government of India. National Stock Exchange comes

second to BSE in terms of popularity. BSE and NSE represent themselves as synonyms of Indian stock

market. The history of Indian stock market is almost the same as the history of BSE.

The 30 stock sensitive index or Sensex was first compiled in 1986. The Sensex is compiled based on

the performance of the stocks of 30 financially sound benchmark companies. In 1990 the BSE crossed

the 1000 mark for the first time. It crossed 2000, 3000 and 4000 figures in 1992. The reason for such

huge surge in the stock market was the liberal financial policies announced by the then financial

minister Dr. Man Mohan Singh.

The up-beat mood of the market was suddenly lost with Harshad Mehta scam. It came to public

knowledge that Mr. Mehta, also known as the big-bull of Indian stock market diverted huge funds from

banks through fraudulent means. He played with 270 million shares of about 90 companies. Millions of

small-scale investors became victims to the fraud as the Sensex fell flat shedding 570 points.

To prevent such frauds, the Government formed The Securities and Exchange Board of India, through

an Act in 1992. SEBI is the statutory body that controls and regulates the functioning of stock

exchanges, brokers, sub-brokers, portfolio managers investment advisors etc. SEBI oblige several rigid

measures to protect the interest of investors. Now with the inception of online trading and daily

settlements the chances for a fraud is nil, says top officials of SEBI.

Sensex crossed the 5000 mark in 1999 and the 6000 mark in 2000. The 7000 mark was crossed in June

and the 8000 mark on September 8 in 2005. Many foreign institutional investors (FII) are investing in

Indian stock markets on a very large scale. The liberal economic policies pursued by successive

Governments attracted foreign institutional investors to a large scale. Experts now believe the sensex

can soar past 14000 mark before 2010.

The unpredictable behavior of the market gave it a tag – ‘a volatile market.’ The factors that affected

the market in the past were good monsoon, Bharatiya Janatha Party’s rise to power etc. The result of a

cricket match between India and Pakistan also affected the movements in Indian stock market. The

National Democratic Alliance led by BJP, during 2004 public elections unsuccessfully tried to ride on

the market sentiments to power. NDA was voted out of power and the sensex recorded the biggest fall

in a day amidst fears that the Congress-Communist coalition would stall economic reforms. Later

prime minister Man Mohan Singh’s assurance of ‘reforms with a human face’ cast off the fears and

market reacted sharply to touch the highest ever mark of 8500.

India, after United States hosts the largest number of listed companies. Global investors now ardently

seek India as their preferred location for investment. Once viewed with skepticism, stock market now

appeals to middle class Indians also. Many Indians working in foreign countries now divert their

savings to stocks. This recent phenomenon is the result of opening up of online trading and diminished

interest rates from banks. The stockbrokers based in India are opening offices in different countries

mainly to cater the needs of Non Resident Indians. The time factor also works for the NRIs. They can

buy or sell stock online after returning from their work places.

The recent incidents that led to growing interest among Indian middle class are the initial public offers

announced by Tata Consultancy Services, Maruti Udyog Limited, ONGC and big names like that.

Good monsoons always raise the market sentiments. A good monsoon means improved agricultural

produce and more spending capacity among rural folk.

The bullish run of the stock market can be associated with a steady growth of around 6% in GDP, the

growth of Indian companies to MNCs, large potential of growth in the fields of telecommunication,

mass media, education, tourism and IT sectors backed by economic reforms ensure that Indian stock

market continues its bull run

PERFORMANCE OF STOCK EXCHANGE Page 6

Stock Exchanges are an organised marketplace, either corporation or mutual organisation, where members of

the organisation gather to trade company stocks and other securities. The members may act either as agents for

their customers, or as principals for their own accounts.

Stock exchanges also facilitate for the issue and redemption of securities and other financial instruments

including the payment of income and dividends. The record keeping is central but trade is linked to such

physical place because modern markets are computerised. The trade on an exchange is only by members and

stock broker do have a seat on the exchange.

STOCK MARKET ANALYSIS

Stock Market Analysis helps the investors in formulating their investing/trading techniques prior

to the opening of the market. This helps them to confirm their conviction on trades. Stock Market

Analysis deals with the performance of the stocks in particular and the indexes in general.

Stock Market Index typically gives the overall performance of the market or of a specific sector. It

is based on the statistical compilations of the prices of the representative set of stocks and reflects

a composite value of its component stocks.

There are many factors affecting the collective mood of the stock market. Stock Market is a

dynamic one which changes with every information due to change in perception of the investors.

Stock Market believes in supremacy of the market and considers that demand-supply mechanism

leads to efficient price discovery. It also considers that the market discounts/considers everything

and presumes every investor to be rational who invest by considering all the informations

(economic and political (domestic and international) scenario, weather condition, company

specific news, international relations, monetary and fiscal policies, international Stock Market

behavior and many more) available to him.

Stock Market Analysis is a prerequisite for any investor for extracting profit out of the sock

market. But most of the investors don't have the time and knowledge for analyzing the market. So,

they take the help of professional Stock Market Analysts who guide them through the financial

jungle to a profitable outcome.

Stock Market Analysis is basically of two types :-

•  Fundamental Analysis

•  Technical Analysis

Fundamental Analysis:

Fundamental Analysis tries to measure the intrinsic value of a stock by going through its financial,

economic, quantitative and qualitative factors. It also considers the macroeconomic factors (both

domestic and international) that could have an effect on the value of the stock . Some of the

company or industry specific factors are Sales figure of the company (Quarterly, Yearly, etc.),

Earnings of the Company, Assets and Liabilities of the Company, Management Efficiency of the

Company, Company's competitive position among its industry rivals. Fundamental Analyst s rely

on the balance sheets of the company for arriving at its book value. This helps them to compare

the actual value of the stock in the secondary market with that of the book value in order to

evaluate whether the stock is overvalued or not. When the Market Value of a stock exceeds its

Face or Intrinsic value then it signifies that the expectations of the investors are higher than the

real value of the company. Hence, a correction in its price is evident. Fundamental Analysis

studies the fundamental strength of the company which is effective in gauging the long run

scenario of the stock price rather than the short run fluctuations.

Fundamental Analyst look at the following aspects for judging the fundamental strength of the

company :-

•  Balance Sheet

•  Return on Assets

•  Net Income

•  Revenue

•  Cash Flow

Balance Sheet

Financial position of a company is reflected through its Balance Sheet where the detailed

numerical of the assets and liabilities are recorded. It is always desirable for a company to have

Assets > Liabilities which reflects its sound financial condition.

Return on Assets

It measures the profitability of a company.

Return on Assets = (Net Income of the company for the last 1 year) / (Total Asset of the Company)

This shows the company's strength from the long term perspective and is a good indicator for the

long term investors.

Net Income

Net Income =(Total Revenue of the Company) – (Total Cost to the Company)

Revenue of a company comprises of income from the sales of its products, and other incomes.

Cost of a company comprises operation costs, servicing of depreciation, interest payments, etc.

Another business and economic jargon for Net Income is Bottom Line.

Revenue

Revenue of a company comprises its income from sales of its products, and other associated

incomes. It indicates the demand scenario of the company's products which are also an indicator

of its growth.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow of a Company (for a particular period of time) = (Cash Receipts of a Company) –

(Cash Payments of the Company)

Liquidity Position of the company can be gauged by analyzing this tool.

Hence, Fundamental Analysis is a part of the Stock Market Analysis which uses the fundamental

aspects of the companies and the economy for predicting the future direction of the stock in

particular and the economy in general.

Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis assumes that the historical price movements of stock s give indications about

its future performances. It uses charts and other statistical tools to identify the pattern of the stock

and index movements and accordingly predict its future activities. Technical Analyst s are not

concerned about the intrinsic or fair value of the company but are only interested in the historical

price movements along with the volumes. They consider that the price movements are repetitive in

nature because the psychological setup of the investors are seen to follow a certain pattern.

Technical Analyst s analyze a wide array of variables such as Long term and Short term market

trend, Volume of trade, Oscillators, Moving Averages, Crossovers, Candlesticks, Relative Strength

Index , etc. which could throw an idea about the future movement of the Stock .

Thus, Stock Market Analysis helps both the investors and the traders in taking calculative risk for

churning out money out of the Stock Market .

Technical Analysis of Indian stock market BSE Sensex Index

The BSE SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted

construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30

constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base

year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in both

domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media.

Technical Analysis of Indian stock market BSE Sensex Index

The Index was initially calculated based on the "Full Market Capitalization" methodology but

was shifted to the free-float methodology with effect from September 1, 2003. The "Free-float

Market Capitalization" methodology of index construction is regarded as an industry best

practice globally. All major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use

the Free-float methodology.Due to is wide acceptance amongst the Indian investors; SENSEX is

regarded to be the pulse of the Indian stock market. As the oldest index in the country, it provides

the time series data over a fairly long period of time . Small wonder, the SENSEX has over the

years become one of the most prominent brands in the country.

PERFORMANCE DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER

Selling pressure in index heavyweights in the second half of the day's trade pulled the market

lower. The 30-share main BSE index provisionally closed down 82.21 points or 0.85%, shedding

191.95 points from the day's high. Volatility was the hallmark of the day's trading session with

indices swinging wildly throughout the day. The market shed more than half its value in 2008, its

worst performance ever, and the outlook remained downbeat in the near term on dismal

corporate earnings outlook.

Volatility was high. After a firm start triggered by positive cues from the global markets, the

Sensex soon slipped into the red. The market soon bounced back. It, however, pared gains soon

before recovering again later in volatile trade. Fall in index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL)

pulled the market into the red in afternoon trade. It later gained positive zone. The market

weakened in mid-afternoon trade on fall in banking shares and further decline in RIL.

The BSE Sensex had gained 387.24 points or 4.15% in previous two trading sessions on hopes of

rate cuts and second stimulus package from the government.

But hopes for hefty rate cuts were dented after a television channel quoted finance ministry

officials as saying rate reductions may not be steep. The television channel also cited unnamed

bankers as saying they were not in a position to cut deposit rates due to competition from the

government's small savings plans. This meant they can not lower lending rates as well.

As part of the stimulus package, the government cut excise duty by 4% across the board, except

on petroleum products, and announced raising of the public expenditure by Rs 20,000 crore to

boost demand.

The BSE 30-share Sensex lost 82.21 points, or 0.85%, to 9633.95, as per provisional closing. At the

day's high of 9,825.90, the Sensex rose 109.74 points in early trade. The Sensex declined 128.24

points at the day's low of 9,578.92 in mid-afternoon trade.

The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was strong on BSE with 1488

shares advancing as compared with 967 that declined. 103 shares remained unchanged.

Role of Textile Industry in India GDP

Role of Textile Industry in India GDP has been quite beneficial in the economic life of the country.

The worldwide trade of textiles and clothing has boosted up the GDP of India to a great extent as

this sector has brought in a huge amount of revenue in the country.

In the past one year, there has been a massive upsurge in the textile industry of India. The

industry size has expanded from USD 37 billion in 2004-05 to USD 49 billion in 2006-07. During

this era, the local market witnessed a growth of USD 7 billion, that is, from USD 23 billion to USD

30 billion. The export market increased from USD 14 billion to USD 19 billion in the same period.

The textile industry is one of the leading sectors in the Indian economy as it contributes nearly 14

percent to the total industrial production. The textile industry in India is claimed to be the biggest

revenue earners in terms of foreign exchange among all other industrial sectors in India. This

industry provides direct employment to around 35 million people, which has made it one of the

most advantageous industrial sectors in the country.

Some of the important benefits offered by the Indian textile industry are as follows:

• India covers 61 percent of the international textile market

• India covers 22 percent of the global market

• India is known to be the third largest manufacturer of cotton across the globe

• India claims to be the second largest manufacturer as well as provider of cotton yarn and

textiles in the world

• India holds around 25 percent share in the cotton yarn industry across the globe

• India contributes to around 12 percent of the world's production of cotton yarn and textiles

The Role of Textile Industry in India GDP had been undergoing a moderate increase till the year

2004 to 2005. But ever since, 2005-06, Indian textiles industry has been witnessing a robust growth

and reached almost USD 17 billion during the same period from USD 14 billion in 2004-05. At

present, Indian textile industry holds 3.5 to 4 percent share in the total textile production across

the globe and 3 percent share in the export production of clothing. The growth in textile

production is predicted to touch USD 19.62 billion during 2006-07. USA is known to be the largest

purchaser of Indian textiles.

Following are the statistics calculated as per the contribution of the sectors in Textile industry in

India GDP:

• India holds 22 percent share in the textile market in Europe and 43 percent share in the

apparel market of the country. USA holds 10 percent and 32.6 percent shares in Indian textiles

and apparel.

• Few other global countries apart from USA and Europe, where India has a marked

presence include UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Bangladesh, China, Turkey and Japan

• Ready made garments accounts for 45 percent share holding in the total textile exports and

8.2 percent in export production of India

• Export production of carpets has witnessed a major growth of 42.23 percent, which

apparently stands at USD 654.32 million during 2004-05 to USD 930.69 million in the year 2006-

07. India holds 36 percent share in the global textile market as has been estimated during April-

October 2007

domestic market and the export production of textiles. The investment range in the Indian textile

industry has increased from USD 2.94 billion to USD 7.85 billion within three years, from 2004 to

2007. It has been assumed that by the year 2012, the investment ratio in textile industry is most

likely to touch USD 38.14 billion.

INFLATION EFFECTS ON INDIAN INDUSTRIES

Cement sector on swampy ground

For the cement sector, a likely slump in real estate owing to inflation will be bad news. According

to a Mumbai-based analyst, “Rising inflation will result in hardening of interest rate, which will

impact the demand for real estate. The real estate sector, which is already feeling the inflation

heat, will see a further dip in demand impacting the demand for cement. If inflation keeps rising,

there is a possibility of infrastructure projects slowing down.”

Bitter sweet pill for pharma

The pharma industry, which has recently stolen the limelight with the Daiichi Sankyo-Ranbaxy

deal, sees inflation as a challenge. According to Percy Birdy, CFO, Glenmark Generics Limited, “

Indian pharma companies have demonstrated in the past that by focusing on internal efficiencies

and controlling costs, they can maintain margins.” Also since many pharma companies export to

global generics market, the weaker rupee will help them to an extent to tide over this impending

inflation issue, he said. “ Having said that, India being a largely branded generics market with

innumerable pharma companies operating in each and every therapeutic segment, competition is

intense and so passing on cost inflation will be a challenge. This would also mean that the

consumer will not bear the entire inflation burden,” he added.

No major impact on IT

Although the IT sector may not be directly hit, doing business can get costlier.

“Inflation can have a sociological impact on the cost of labour. Also, IT industry does not borrow

much and so it will not see the impact on the cost of capital but it can impact the dead funds,”

Deepak Ghaisas, CEO, India operations and chief financial officer, i-flex Solutions, said.

“The inflation will not impact the IT service industry as compared to the other industries. But we

will see the cost of entire business going up as the cost of setting up a development center will

eventually go up with the prices of steel and cement rising,” said Harit Shah, an analyst with

Angel Broking

Compensation of pharmaceutical industry

As pharmaceutical companies step up their focus on retaining key sales staff, they are considering ways

to leverage variable compensation, such as incentive, reward and recognition programs, as a strategic

tool to maximize ROI in top talent and motivate their sales forces to support corporate strategies.

Pharmaceutical companies traditionally have attracted and retained high-performing sales staff through

offerings of competitive, total-compensation packages. These packages are usually comprised of base pay,

benefits, bonuses and recognition programs – typically contests and awards (C&As). However, in recent

years companies have balanced this goal with budgetary constraints by devising variable pay schemes,

which account for a larger percentage of compensation, and offer increasing pay for higher performance.

For example, across European countries, the proportion of variable pay compared to fixed pay varies by

a factor of almost three-fold, thereby influencing the leverage that is achieved from individual bonus

schemes in these countries.

Today in the United States, industry emphasis is shifting from recruitment to retention activities. The

costly effects of voluntary attrition among sales representatives, which results in recruiting and training

costs, lost time in the territory and diminished client relationships, is estimated by the Hay Group to be

$100,000 per individual. It’s now more important than ever that pharmaceutical companies take steps to

ensure that their existing sales force remains productive, motivated and committed by developing and

refining strategic incentive and reward programs. Furthermore, with an overall decrease in the total

number of sales representatives, it’s imperative that pharmaceutical firms retain their best sales staff

through an on-going process of adjusting variable pay practices. These steps are crucial to enabling the

alignment of retention goals with other critical business objectives.

looks) at present, and where you will be after some point of time.

Training is about the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) through professional

development.

Role of Organization in Training and Development

An organization has a very close relationship with the trainee and the trainer because it is the first

contact for both.

The demand for the training in the organization increases when the organization wants:

To Expand – When the company wants to increase its headcount

To increase certain number of staff (in position) by a certain date

To enhance the performance of employees

Organization’s name to be a part of training unit

Demand for training also increases when there is change in the nature of job, change in taste of

consumer, change in methods of product development, etc. The organization goes through the

following steps for the transfer of training to the field. Importance Of Training and Development
