ABSTRACT

The study is based on the stocks recommended by ,ndia ,nfoline 2td$ The Data used for analysis are Balance (heets. %rofit 1 2oss Account of @" of 3y"" and Technical charts from "9th ;une !"! to 9th ;uly !"!$ After obtaining all the financial statements. with the results and analysis of the statement the

recommendations of ,ndia ,nfoline 2td is correlated with the actual performance of the stocks$

CHAPTER , I INTRODUCTION (.( ABOUT THE STUDY

The role of Analysis is to pro*ide information to the market$ An efficient market relies on informationA a lack of information creates inefficiencies that result in stocks being misrepresented (o*er or under *alued)$ Analysts use their e+pertise and spend a lot of time analyBing a stock. its industry and peer group to pro*ide earnings and *aluation estimates$ 0esearch is *aluable because it fills information gaps so that each indi*idual in*estor does not need to analyBe e*ery stock$ This di*ision of labour makes the market more efficient$

THE

FIELD

OF

SECURITY

ANALYSIS

IS

BASED

ON

THREE

ASSUMPTIONSA "$ The market discounts e*erything $ %rice mo*es in trends 7$ 'istory tends to repeat itself These assumptions are e+plained in detail belowA THE MARKET DISCOUNTS E3ERYTHIN+A A major criticism of security analysis is that it only considers price mo*ements ignoring the fundamental factors of the company$ 'owe*er security analysis assumes that. at any gi*en time. a stockCs price reflects e*erything that has or could affect the company including fundamental factors$ (ecurity analysts belie*e that the companyCs fundamentals. along with broader economic factors and market psychology. are all priced into the stock. remo*ing the need to actually consider these factors separately$ This only lea*es the analysis of price mo*ements. which security theory *iews as a product of the supply and demand for a particular stock in the market$

PRICE MO3ES IN TRENDSA

,n security analysis. price mo*ements are belie*ed to follow trends$ This means that after a trend has been established. the future price mo*ement is more likely to be in the same direction as the trend then to be against it$ Most important security trading strategies are based on this assumption$ HISTORY TENDS TO REPEAT ITSELFA Another important idea in (ecurity analysis is that history tends to repeat itself. mainly in term of price mo*ement$ The repetiti*e nature of price mo*ements is attributed to market psychology. in other words. Market participants tend to pro*ide a consistent reaction in similar market stimuli o*ertime$ (ecurity analysis uses chart patterns to analysis market mo*ements and understands trends$ Although many of the charts ha*e been used for more than "!! years. they are still belie*ed to be rele*ant because they illustrate pattern in price mo*ement that often repeat them$ ,n security analysis. it is the mo*ement of the highs and lows constitutes a trend$ 3or e+ample an 5ptrend is classified as a series of higher highs and higher lows. while a down trend is one of lower lows and lower highs$

SELECTION OF SHARES$ %roper selections of shares are of two typesA# "$ Fu4d0me4t01 0401y!i!A ,t in*ol*es in Ddepth study and analysis of the prospecti*e company whose shares we want to buy. the industry it operates in and the o*erall market scenario$ ,t can be done by reading and assessing the companyCs annual reports. research reports published by eEuity research houses. research analysis published by the media and discussions with the companyCs management or the other e+perienced in*estors$

,t in*ol*es studying the prices mo*ement of the stock o*er an e+tended period of time in the past to judge the trend of the future price mo*ement$ ,t can be done by software programs. which generate stock prices charts indicating upward$ Downward and sideways mo*ements of the stock price o*er the stipulated time period$ /HEN TO BUY 6 SELL SHARES$ :ith high *olatility pre*ailing in the market. major price fluctuations in eEuities are not uncommon$ Therefore. apart from ascertaining FwhichC stock to buy or sell. it becomes eEually important to consider FwhenC to buy or sell$ Any in*estor should be aware of the fact where all the in*estor is following i$e$. Buy Low. Sell High$ That means we should buy stocks at a low price and sell them at a high price$ ABOUT THE E7UITY MARKET ,ndian (tock -+changes are a structured marketplace for the proper conduct of trading in company stocks and other securities$ There are 7 recogniBed stock e+changes in ,ndia. including the O*er the /ounter -+change of ,ndia for pro*iding trading access to small and new companies$ The main ser*ices of the ,ndian (tock -+changes all o*er the country are to pro*ide nation#wide ser*ices to in*estors and to facilitate the issue and redemption of securities and other financial instruments$ A stock market (also known as a stock e+change) is intricately interwo*en in the fabric of a nationCs economic life$ :ithout a stock e+change the sa*ings of the community. the signs of the economic progress and producti*e efficiency would remain underutiliBed$ The task of mobiliBation and allocation of sa*ings could be attempted in the old days by a much less specialiBed institution than the stock e+change$ But as businesses and industry e+panded and the economy assumed more comple+ nature. the need for permanent finance arose$ -ntrepreneurs needed money for long term whereas in*estors demanded liEuidity i$e$ the facility to con*ert their in*estments into cash at any gi*en time$ The answer was a ready market for in*estments and this was how the stock e+change came into e+istence$ The stock e+change means anybody of indi*iduals. whether incorporated or not. constituted for purpose of regulating or controlling the business of buying. selling or dealing in securities$

a) (hares. scripCs. stocks. bonds. debentures stock or other marketable securities of a like nature in or of any incorporated company or other body corporate$ b)&o*ernment securities$ c) 0ights or interests in securities$ ,n your neighbourhood. you probably ha*e a supermarket that sells groceries$ The reason you go the supermarket is because e*erything you need to run your home is a*ailable under one roof$ ,tGs far more con*enient than ha*ing to make "! stops at different stores$ The (tock -+change is a supermarket for stocks$ The stock e+change is like a big room where e*eryone who wants to buy and sell shares can go to conduct their transactions$ The -+change makes buying and selling easy$ 6ou do not ha*e to actually tra*el to the (tock -+changeH rather. you can call a stock broker who does business with the -+change. and he or she will go there on your behalf to buy or sell your stock$ :ith an -+change in place. you can buy and sell shares instantly$ The (tock -+change has an interesting side effect$ Because all the buying and selling is concentrated in one place. it allows the price of a stock to be known e*ery second of the day$ Therefore. in*estors can watch as a stockGs price fluctuates based on news from the company. media reports. economic news and a range of other factors$ (mart buyers and sellers take all of these factors into account before making decisions$ The stock e+change has two main functions$ The first function is to pro*ide companies with a way of issuing shares to people who want to in*est in the company$ The second function of the stock market. related to the first. is to pro*ide a *enue for the buying and selling of shares$

Maruti 5dyog 2td. ,dea cellular 2td. ,t is noticed that Only one company has performed as recommended by ,ndia ,nfoline 2td$ 3undamentally Telecom sector doesnCt seem to an attracti*e sector at this point of time$ This company. ,dea cellular has outperformed from "9th ;une to 9th ;uly !"! and seems to highly risky to in*est in this company at this point of time as there is high possibility of the stock to go down$

 Due to market uncertainty the stocks that are not performing well now may raise up in the near future as Technical analysis$ 3undamental Analysis must always backed up by technical analysis and it is better to do a personal technical analysis at point of in*estment $

).* CONCLUSION The study tries to pro*e the accuracy of the predictions or recommendations made by ,ndia ,nfoline 2td$ There are number of institutions conducting eEuity research in the country are following their own ideology to carry on the research therefore their results are bound to differ according different perception of different in*estors$ The selected tools used for the fundamental and technical analysis though are limited try to throw light on the performance of the stocks and the findings are not in correlation
