Equity markets introduction

• Stocks of various companies are listed on stock exchanges. In India, BSE and NSE are the two large stock exchanges.
• There are two ways in which returns can be earned by investing in stocks:
• The first is through capital appreciation. The other way to make money through stocks is dividend. Being ordinary shareholders, you may or may not get dividends, hence, this bit of earning through stocks is also not fixed or assured returns.
• Dividends can give a decent earning, more so because currently they are non-taxable in the hands of the Investors, since only companies have to pay tax on the dividend when they disburse.
• You can acquire stocks of a company in two ways. You can buy shares when a company makes an initial public offering (IPO), that is, an offer to the general public to subscribe to its equity. In a primary issue, the company has the right to set the price for its shares. Once an issue is subscribed, the stocks are listed on the stock market. Now, it is left for the market to determine its value.
• There is a secondary way of acquiring stocks. You can buy and sell stocks at the market-determined price. All stock exchanges are thus secondary markets. For getting stocks from the secondary market you need the services of a brokerage firm who acts as your agent whenever you want to buy or sell a stock.
• The stocks are held in dematerialised (or demat) form. With demat shares you don’t have to worry about maintaining stacks of share certificate papers. These days many investors buy and sell stocks on the internet and the order that you place is handled entirely with computers. All you have to do is log on to the brokerage firm’s site, open an investor’s account, enter your order, wait for the trading to be done and within some time get a confirmation to your order.
• All over the world, equity has traditionally yielded the maximum return on investment. The returns on equity investment are high, but so are the risks. This apparent contradiction is easily understood. As an investor in the equity of a company, you become an owner of that company to the extent of your investment. As an owner, or a part owner, you face the same risks and potential returns as the company does. So, if your company is earning profits, so will you. But if it starts bleeding losses, you will lose too.
