Stock Market

15 common questions ke detailed jawab

Expert Answer

Stock market ek aisi jagah hai jahan publicly listed companies ke shares (stocks) kharide aur beche jaate hain. India mein do major exchanges hain: NSE (National Stock Exchange) aur BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). Jab aap kisi company ka share kharidते hain, toh aap us company ke chhote hisse ke malik ban jaate hain.

Expert Answer

Sensex: BSE ka index — top 30 companies ke performance ka barometer. 1979 mein start hua. Nifty 50: NSE ka index — top 50 companies. 1996 mein start hua. Dono India ki economy ka mood batate hain. Nifty 50 zyada representative hai (50 companies). Mid Cap ke liye Nifty Midcap 150, small caps ke liye Nifty Smallcap 250 dekhein.

Expert Answer

Demat Account (Dematerialized Account) mein shares electronically store hote hain — jaise bank mein paisa. Physical share certificates ki jagah electronic form. Har investor ke liye mandatory hai shares kharidne ke liye. Zerodha, Groww, ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities jaisi brokerages mein open kar sakte hain.

Expert Answer

Fundamental Analysis mein company ki actual business health dekhi jaati hai: P/E Ratio (Price to Earnings), Revenue growth, Profit margins, Debt levels, Management quality, Industry position. Long-term investors use karte hain. Idea: agar company fundamentally strong hai toh share price eventually reflect karega. Warren Buffett is approach ke fan hain.

Expert Answer

P/E (Price to Earnings) Ratio = Share Price ÷ EPS (Earnings Per Share). Example: Share ₹100 ka hai, EPS ₹10 hai toh P/E = 10. High P/E: Market ko zyada growth expect hai (but overvalued bhi ho sakta hai). Low P/E: Undervalued ya slow growth. Industry ke average se compare karo — IT sector ka average 25-30, banking ka 10-15. Akele P/E se decision mat lo.

Expert Answer

Steps: 1) Pehle 6 mahine sirf seekho — books padho, paper trading karo. 2) Demat + Trading account kholo. 3) Blue chip companies se shuru karo (Reliance, TCS, HDFC Bank). 4) Chhota amount lagao jo lose kar sako. 5) Directly stock market mein jump karne se pehle index fund se shuru karo. 6) Intraday trading se dur raho — bahut risky hai beginners ke liye.

Expert Answer

Long Term Investing: 3-5+ saal hold karo, fundamentals dekho, tax advantage hai, less stress. Short Term Trading: Days ya weeks mein buy-sell, technical analysis use hoti hai, zyada tax, high stress aur expertise needed. 95% retail investors short term trading mein lose karte hain. Beginners ke liye long term investing much better hai.

Expert Answer

Dividend wo amount hai jo company apne shareholders ko profit mein se share karte samay deti hai. Example: ₹5 per share dividend — agar aapke paas 100 shares hain toh ₹500 milenge. Dividend yield = Annual dividend ÷ Share price. High dividend stocks regular income dete hain. Ex-dividend date se pehle share kharidna zaroori hai dividend ke liye.

Expert Answer

Stop Loss ek pre-set price level hai jis par aapka share automatically sell ho jaata hai — loss ko limit karne ke liye. Example: ₹100 mein share kharidа, ₹90 par stop loss lagaya — agar price ₹90 aa gayi toh automatically sell. Yeh emotional decision se bachata hai. Always stop loss use karo, especially trading mein.

Expert Answer

Market Cap = Share Price × Total Shares Outstanding. Large Cap: ₹20,000 crore se upar — Reliance, TCS. Stable, low risk. Mid Cap: ₹5,000-20,000 crore — growth potential. Small Cap: ₹5,000 crore se kam — high risk, high reward. Portfolio mein mix rakho risk tolerance ke hisaab se.

Expert Answer

IPO (Initial Public Offering) jab koi private company pehli baar public markets mein shares offer karti hai. Apply kaise karein: Net banking mein ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) se ya Demat account se apply karo. Minimum lot size buy karna padta hai. Allotment lottery basis par hoti hai oversubscription mein. IPO mein invest karte waqt company ka prospectus zaroor padein.

Expert Answer

Circuit breaker ek mechanism hai jo market crash ko slow karta hai. Upper/Lower Circuit: Individual stock 5%, 10% ya 20% up ya down ho jaaye toh trading temporarily rok di jaati hai. Index Circuit: Nifty 10%, 15%, 20% girne par trading halt hoti hai. Yeh panic selling rok ne ke liye hai.

Expert Answer

Nahi — intraday trading beginners ke liye bahut risky hai. Studies show 90%+ retail traders intraday mein lose karte hain. High leverage, quick decisions, brokerage costs — sab against retail trader. Pehle kam se kam 2-3 saal investing seekho, phir paper trading karo, tab jaake thoda capital se try karo agar interest ho.

Expert Answer

Technically sirf ek share ki price jitna — kuch shares ₹10 mein milte hain toh ₹10 se shuruat kar sakte hain. Practically, brokerage aur charges consider karein toh ₹5,000-10,000 se meaningful investment start karo. Diversification ke liye 5-10 different stocks mein invest karo. SIP se nahi, lump sum se khareedena padta hai shares mein.

Expert Answer

Diversification matlab eggs ek basket mein mat daalo. Kaise diversify karein: Different sectors mein invest karo (IT, Banking, FMCG, Pharma). Large, Mid, Small cap mix rakho. Domestic aur international exposure lo. Stocks ke saath bonds/debt bhi rakho. Ek stock mein 10% se zyada mat daalo. Correlation kam ho alag investments mein.
