However, it has to be understood that rapid advent of globalisation has brought about a major shift in stock
market investment as the Indian stock markets are increasingly being influenced by global factors and the movement
of global markets like the NYSE, NASDAQ as well as the Asian markets.
It has to be noted that a stock of a particular company may be traded in multiple stock exchanges. For example, many stocks of Indian
companies are being traded in the National Stock Exchange Of India (NSE) as well as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
The Indian stock markets has evolved and it has become relatively easy to invest in shares of Indian companies with the advent of
dematerialisation, reduction in market lots and the growth of online stock trading.
The Stock Market is akin to a marketplace where buyers and sellers of a company's share come together
and transact the share of the company.
Money flows from the buyer to the seller and the shares are
transferred from the seller to the buyer.
However, there is a lot of intricacies involved in investing in the stock markets of any country and more so in the Indian
Stock Markets due to the large number of listed companies which can easily confuse the lay investor.
Stock Marketing investing is not for the faint hearted as it can lead to huge losses if the investor has not done the
necessay homework to understand the nuances of stock market investments.
Finally, there is a well known saying in the stock markets : "Tread with caution...always !".
