INVESTING:
Investing in various types of assets is an interesting activity that attracts people from all
works of life irrespective of their, occupation, economic status, education and family
background. When a person has more money than he requires for current consumption,
he would be coined as a potential investor. The investor who is having extra cash could
invest it in securities or in any other assets like gold or real estate or could simply deposit
it in his bank account.

INVESTMENT:
Investment is the employment of funds an assets with the aim of earning income or
capital appreciation. Investment has two attributes namely time and risk. Present
consumption is sacrificed to get a return in the future. The sacrifice that has to be borne is
certain but return in the future may be, uncertain. This attribute of investment indicates
the risk factor. The risk is undertaken with a view to reap some return from the
investment. For a layman investment means some monetary commitments. A person’s
commitment to buy a flat or house for his personal use may be an investment from his
point of view. To the economist, investment is the net addition made to the nation’s
capital stock that consists of goods and services that are based in the production process.
A net addition to capital stock means an increase in the building, equipments or
inventories. These capital stocks are used to produce other goods and services
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES:
The main investment objective are:
1) Good rate of return
2) Reducing risk
3) Safety
4) Liquidity
5) Hedge against inflation
GOOD RATE OF RETURN
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 12
“Investment environment for shares in Belgaum”conducted for Geerak Marketing [Type the
document title]
Investor always expect a good rate of return from their investments. Rate of return could
be defined as the total income the investor receives during the holding period stated as a
percentage of the purchasing price at the beginning of the holding period. If it is a stock,
the investor gets the dividend as well as the capital appreciation as return. Market return
of the stock indicates the price appreciation for the particular stock, If a particular share is
purchased in 2003 at Rs 100 and the dividend yield is Rs 15, then the return would be,
EXAMPLE:
RATE OF RETURN
Consider following information about a certain equity share:
Price at beginning of the year 60.00
Dividend paid toward the end to the year 2.40
Price at the end of the year 66.00
Rate of Return = Annual Income +( Ending Price – Beginning Price)
Beginning Price
= 2.40+ (66.00-60.00)
60.00
= 0.14*100
= 14%

RISK
Risk of holding securities is related with the probability of actual return become less than
the expected return. The word risk is synonyms with the purchase variability of return.
Investment risk is just as important as measuring its expected rate of return because
minimizing risk and maximizing the rate of return are interrelated objectives in the
investment management. An investment who’s rate of return varies widely from period to
period is risky than those whose return that does not change much. Every investor likes to
reduce the risk of his investment by proper combination of different securities.
SAFETY
The selected investment avenue should be under the legal and regulatory frame work.
Approval by law it self aids a flavor of safety. Even though approved by law, the safety
of the principal differs from one mode of investment to another. Investment done with the
government assures more safety with the private party.
LIQUIDITY:
Marketability of the investment to the investment, The liquidity depends upon the
marketing and trading facility. If a portion of the investment could be converted into cash
without much loss of time, it would help the investor to meet the emergencies. Stocks are
liquid only if they command good market by providing adequate return through dividends
and capital appreciation.

HEDGE AGAINST INFLATION:
Since there is inflation in almost all the economy, the rate of return should ensure a cover
against the inflation. The return should be higher than the rate of inflation. Otherwise the
investor will have loss in real terms. The return thus ensured should ensure the safety of
the principal amount, regular flow of income and be a hedge against inflation.

ADVANTAGES OF INVESTNG IN STOCKS:
1) Stock typically outperforms all other investment options over any ten year period.
Making them a must for ones long-term portfolio. So it will give higher return
compared to other financial instrument.
2) High quality stocks “Split” when the price reaches a certain level. This
means that each share is divided up into one or more new shares and the price is divided
along with it.
For Example, if one stock undergoes a 2 for 1 stock split, one will end up with 2
shares for every one that he held previously.
Of course the price of each new share will now be ½ of what is was before, but
lower period stock tend to grow faster than higher priced stocks giving investor a
better chance of increasing his equity over a time.

turnover of shares of each stock purchased. As an owner, he have an excellent
opportunity to share in the financial success and growth of the company.

DISADVANTAGE OF STOCKS.
1) Stocks are volatile. A single stock’s share price can vary widely from day to day,
month to month, year to year depending on numerous factors that are beyond ones
control. So there is high risk attached with the stock. If stock market crashes
investors money is lost Prices are subject to market volatility world conditions,
and interest rate variation. It requires time to monitor investment. The most
effective way to invest in stocks is to “ buy and hold” for the long- term and
“diversify” (dividing stock holding among several different stocks in various
market sectors).
2) Stocks are best used only in the early and middle stages of carrier. Since stocks
are so volatile in short-term as one began to reach retirement age, he should start
gradually moving part of his assets into other sectors.
3) Companies and can do go out of business, at which time therein stock usually
becomes worthless. But if one selects his stocks carefully he can greatly minimize
the risk.
4) Company can fraud the investors by manipulating the books of accounts.
5) Both buying and selling stocks cost money in the form of brokerage,
commissions. So the best strategy for investing in stocks is to “buy and hold” for
the long term.

BASICS OF EQUITY INVESTMENT.
Equity investment generally refers to the buying and holding of shares of stocks on a
stock market by individuals and funds in anticipation of income from dividends and

industry sectors.
REASONS FOR FLUCTUATIONS IN SHARE PRICES:
A share price is like a barometer of investors confidence in a company’s prospects. If
everyone thinks a company is going to grow and do well, they all want to buy the shares
and this pushes the share price up. Obviously the reverse is also true. That company may
no do as well as people had hoped and report lower than-expected profits for the year.
Investors may lose confidence in the company and decide to sell. The share price falls
sometimes frighteningly quickly, especially if a big institution owing millions of share
decides to sell the lot in one go.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 24
“Investment environment for shares in Belgaum”conducted for Geerak Marketing [Type the
document title]
This can make other investors panic and sell out as well, causing the share price to
plummet even further. But then, once it’s reached a particular level other investors may
think the ‘bears’ the sellers have aver reacted and that the current low share price actually
represents good value for money. They pile in and buy. This stops the share price
dropping further. By the end of the day the price might even be back to the level it started
at after a rollercoaster ride in which millions of rupees have changed hands.
BUYING AND SELLLING OF SHARES.
1) Procedure for buying of shares.
The steps involved in buying shares and debentures are described below.
Locating a Broker
Typically, shares are bought through a stock broker, who is a licensed member of a
recognized stock exchange. So, When you want to buy shares, you should locate a
broker. Ask your friends, who have experience to recommend some names and meet the
suggested brokers personally and make a first-hand assessment. Basically, satisfy
yourself that the broker you select can render prompt and efficient service and protect
your interest.
After you have located your broker, your broker would request you to fill in a client
registration form wherein you have to furnish details like your name, address, permanent
account number, passport number, latest photograph, bank account number, DP
(Depository Participant) account number, etc. Once the registration formalities are over,
your broker will give you a unique number called the Client Code. Which will be used in
future references.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 25

Placement of Order
After locating a suitable broker, place your order to buy. Your order should clearly
specify the name of the company and the type of securities (equity shares ,preference
share or debentures). Note that all transactions through a stock exchange are now settled
through the depositories. So you must have a demat account with an authorized
depository before you place an order.
If you want to fix the upper limit on price (Which is exclusive of brokerage) place
‘Limit Order’. Alternatively, place a best market order which manse that you instruct
your broker to buy at the best prevailing market price. You may specify the time
dimension as well, indicating the time frame in which the order has to be executed. A day
order remains valid only for the day when it is placed. If the order is not executed on
that day, it automatically lapses. A week order is one which is valid for a week. A
month order is an order which is valid for one month. An open order remains in effect
until it is executed or cancelled. The nature of your order should reflect the prevailing
market conditions and your faith in the judgment and integrity of your broker.
Depending on your relations with the broker and the size of the order, the broker may ask
for an advance payment, which may be 25 to 100 percent of the expected purchase
consideration.
Execution of Order
On receiving your order, the broker will feed the same on his terminal. Once the order is
executed, the broker will inform you and send a ‘contract note’. Representing the
documentary evidence of the transaction, the contract note contains relevant details of

Internet Trading

instantiations like icicidirect.com and buy and sell securities through the internet.
Procedure for Selling
Once you have located a broker, the steps involved in selling shares are as follows.
Placement of Order
You have to place a ‘Sale Order’ with your broker. You may place a ‘Limit Order’
wherein you specify the minimum price acceptable to you or you may place a ‘market
order’ which manse that you instruct your broker to sell at the best available market price.
Before placing the order, make sure that the shares you want to sell are to your credit in
your depository account.
Execution of Order
On receiving your ‘Sale Order’ your broker will feed the same in his terminal. Once the
order is executed the broker will inform you and send you a ‘Contract Note’ the
documentary evidence of the transaction. You will then have to issue a depository
participant cheque for the shares that you have sold in favor of the broker.
This cheque transfers the shares from your depository account to the broker’s depository
account, just the way a bank cheque transfers money from the payer’s account to the
payee’s account. You will receive payment from the broker in about a week’s time.
Important Points to Remember
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 27
“Investment environment for shares in Belgaum”conducted for Geerak Marketing [Type the
document title]
When you ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ shares of a company, bear in mind the following points.
1) As per the amended guidelines for listing, a company is supposed to:
A) Close its transfer books only once in a year at the time of annual general meeting
and to have record dates for other purpose like bonus issues, rights issues ,etc.
B) Have uniform dates of book closing and record dates either on 1st or 16th of any
month and to give to the exchange notice in advance of at least 30 days or of as
many days as the exchange may from time to time reasonably prescribe;
C) Accept registration for transfers that are lodged with the company up to the date
of closure of the transfer books ( or when the transfer books are not closed, up to
the record date) and defer, until the transfer books have re opened, registration of
any transfers which may be received after the closure of the transfer books; and
D) Issue letters of allotment or letters or rights within six weeks of the record date or
date of reopening of the transfer books, after their closure for the purpose of
making a onus or rights issue.
2) On the stock market, the shares become ex-dividend (or ex-bonus or ex-rights as
the case may be) several days before the book closure date (record date). The cut
off date for ‘ex-dividend’ transaction is normally fixed by the stock exchange
authorities. For example, in a certain case, the share may become ex-dividend on
say, August 10. This is indicated by the abbreviation ‘xd’ affixed after the price
of the share. Similarly, ‘xb’ stands for ‘ex-bonus’, ‘cb’ for ‘cum bonus’ ‘xf’ for
for ‘ex- rights’ and ‘cr’ for ‘cum rights’
3) If you buy the shares ‘xd’ (or ‘xb’ or ‘xr’) you are not entitled to dividend (or
bonus shares or rights ) for which the books are about to be closed.
4) If you buy the shares ‘cd’ (or ‘cb’ or ‘cr’ as the case may be ), you are entitled to
the dividend for which the books are about to be closed.
5) You can obtain information about book closure dates from your broker or from
the stock exchange. Financial newspapers like The Economic Times and The

Financial Express and investment magazines Capital Market and Dalal Street
Journal also provided this information.
SHARES MAKE INVESTOR MONEY:
There are two ways one can make money with shares.
1) Firstly by the capital growth. The hope that the value of shares will grow over
time, mirroring the growth in the underlying company.
2) The other way one make money from shares is through dividends. These are
payments taken from profits the company makes to its shareholders usually every
six months. If the company is doing well and wants to reward it shareholders it
may announce a big dividend. If times are hard, it may not make a dividend
payment at all. The company usually gives dividend in the form of dividend per
share. So the more shares one owns, the bigger the dividend payment he will
receive.
DECEISION ON WHICH STOKC TO INVEST:
Basic thumb rule is:
“ you can afford to bet as big as you can afford to lose”
There are three things to one need while selecting shares.
1) Common sense
2) Research

3) Luck
The common sense approach should always be backed up with the second requirement
for selecting shares solid research. The luck factors should always accompany both these
things.
SOME BASIC QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT A COMPANY IS INTERESTED IN:
The answer to all these questions will help oneself o decide whether it is worth investing
in the company.
1) Is it in sector which will do well ? What are my reasons for thinking this?
2) Does the company offer something unique, or are there many competitors in the
same field.
3) What kind of track record does the company have to date?
4) Is the company growing? (Looking at its year on year performance figures)
5) If it is not yet in profit, is it at least increasing its revenues in a healthy way?
6) Is it showing growth in the dividends it pays out?
7) How highly valued is it? (The price earning ratios is one measure of this)
8) How volatile is the share price? (One has to study its share price shares over
different periods)
9) How is the company viewed by security Analysts the press and other
commentators?
10)It is considered to be a high growth, high-risk sort of company or stable and slow-
growth.
PREDICTION OF STOCK PRICE
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 30
“Investment environment for shares in Belgaum”conducted for Geerak Marketing [Type the
document title]
In the short run, the market is a voting machine reflecting a voter registration test that
requires only money, not intelligence or emotional stability –but in the log run the
market is a weighing machine.
Share prices track the profits of a business in the long run whereas in the short run
they are determined by market sentiment and demand for the shares. Hence share
prices are predictable with a higher degree of certainty in the long run whereas in the
short run these are very whimsical.
DEMATERIALISATION
It is the process of converting securities held in physical form (Certificates) to on
equivalent number of securities in electronic form and crediting the some to the
investors demat account. Dematerialized Securities do not have any certificates
number or distinctive numbers and are dealt only in quality that is the securities are
flexible.
Investor can dematerialize only those certificates which are already registered in his
name and belonging to the list of securities admitted for dematerialization at
NSDL/CDSL. The investor will have to maintain accounts in the respective
depository should always where the scrip’s are admitted for demat. This account is
known as demat account.
Just as you have to open an account with a bank if you want to save your money,
make cheque payments etc, you need to open a demat account if you want to buy or
sell stocks.
So it is just like a bank account where actual money is replaced by shares.
You have to approach the DPs (remember, they are like bank branches), to open your
demat account.

other types of investments. 44 of them have invested in fixed deposits the reason may be

SUGGESTIONS

First of all there is need to create awareness about the stock market, its working and the
transparency. It is evident from the analysis of questionnaire that only 41% of the
respondents have invested in shares. So there is ample potential for investment in shares
and trading in shares.
Create awareness about “Geerak Marketing” based on its uniqueness compared to other
competitors competing in the share broking market.
It is found out from the analysis of the data that negligible percentage of people are
getting share tips while dealing with shares. So “ Geerak Marketing” can get a
competitive edge over others by emphasizing on giving share tips to the clients based on
their risk profile.
“Geerak Marketing” should approach Share Traders Association in Belgaum and should
convince them how Geerak Marketing can help them in getting a healthy return on their
investment.
“Geerak Marketing” should aim at middle income group. It is found out from study that
64% of the people belong to middle income group who invest between Rs 2,000 to Rs
10,000. Insurance, Recurring Deposits, Fixed Deposits are their most favored investment
avenues as they view them to be more secured investment compared to shares. They must
be convinced about share markets transpherency and regulations.

CONCLUSION
We can say that there is good market for investment and trading of shares in Belgaum. At
the same time there is stiff competition among the brokers because of new players
coming to the market. The investors perception towards share trading should be changed
because even today some believe that the trading in shares is like gambling because of
lack of complete knowledge and also because the markets are not completely based on
the fundamentals of the companies. Also the share market in India has been prone to
manipulation by a few big brokers which has further eroded the confidence of the
investors.
Confidence of investors can be gained only when they are convinced about the security
and transpherency of their investment and about the steps taken by SEBI to protect the
investors.
