Anusha B.M and Sannidhi
Stock market is a place where shares of public listed companies are traded. The stock market provides a venue where companies raise capital by selling shares of stock, or equity, to investors. Stocks give shareholders voting rights as well as a residual claim on corporate earnings in the form of capital gains and dividends. A stock exchange facilitates stock brokers to trade company stocks and other securities. A stock may be bought or sold only if it is listed on an exchange. Thus, it is the meeting place of the stock buyers and sellers. India's premier stock exchanges are the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. Stock market is an important investment avenue with multiple benefits like; dividend, capital gain, stock split, bonus shares and rights issue. Awareness about the stock market is of great use to the prospective/present investors to make money in the stock market.
