LITERATURE REVIEW
The Indian stock market provides a unique perspective for analyzing comovements and stock
market integration because of its burgeoning economy and its subsequent linkages to other
economies. For instance, Modi et al.(2010) examined the stock market indices of India, Hong
Kong, China, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, and the United States from July 1, 1997, to June 30, 2008.
Using a multivariate analysis consisting of co-integration and principal component analysis, they found that
low correlations exist between Indian stock markets and Mexico, the UK ,and the United States. Modi et
al. also found that the lowest correlations exist between the India (SENSEX) and U.S.
(NASDAQ) stock exchanges.
The implications are that investors can diversify their portfolios by investingin stocks listed on
the SENSEX and NASDAQ simultaneously. Wong et al. (2004) observed this relationship by evaluating the
long run and short run relationship and linkages between the Indian Stock Exchange (BSE 200) and
the United States (S&P 500), Japan (Nikkei 225), and UK(FTSE 100) from January 1, 1991,
to December 31, 2003. Wong et al. found that the Indian stock market isintegrated with
developed markets and sensitive to dynamics in these markets in the long run. The researchers also found
that short-run stock returns in the United States and Japan Granger cause Indian stock
markets but not the opposite. Granger causality is a technique that examines the relationship
between two or more time series by examining whether times series are co-integrated over
both the short and long run. Valadkhani, Chancharat, and Harvie (2008) studied the
relationships between the stock market returns of 13 countries using principle component
analysis.
Monthly data from 1987 to 2007 was examined for correlations using Morgan Stanley
Capital International Database. Valadkhaniet al. found that high correlations exist between
countries located in the same geographic region primarily Asia. Additionally, a correlation were found to
be high in developing countries as well. These findings suggest that geographic and economic development
do matter with respect to comovements of stock returns and has implications for financial portfolio
diversification and reducing systemic risk. In other words, high correlations depict less
diversification opportunities. The implications are that investors should seek diversification
opportunities where correlations are low. Likewise, Jin (2005) observed this relationship
between Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan markets. Daily, weekly, and monthly data were
retrieved from three indices in host countries from July 1997 to December 2001.The findings revealed
that the Hong Kong and Taiwan stock markets are highly correlated while the correlations among
Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Shanghai were not, even though economic integration was shown
by examining trade.
The researcher further suggests that the Chinese government avoid interfering with the
market and allow the market to perform accordingly. He also found that thelack of correlation
among Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan depicts that investors are able to diversify their portfolios by

investing in Shanghai and Hong Kong or Shanghai and Taiwan stock markets simultaneously .Economic
integration allows investors to diversify their portfolios. However, economic integration is not the only factor
that affects co-movements.

Global events and financial crises also affect comovements. For instance, I. Meric, Ratner,
Nygren, and Gulser (2007) compared the comovements of seven Latin American counties
with the U.S. and Canadian equity markets 5 years before September 11, 2001, and 5 years
after September 11, 2001, using maximum likelihood, principal component analysis (PCA),
and Granger causality. They found that equity markets changed significantly pre-September
11 and post-September 11. The PCA indicated that all nine equity markets changed after
September 11. I. Meric et al. also found Granger causality depicted that the lead/lag
relationship changed significantly after September 11. I. Mericetal. found that diversification
benefits diminished after September 2001in these stock markets and reduced the advantages
of global portfolio diversification.

RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY

In an industry plagued with skepticism and a stock market increasingly difficult to predict
and contend with, if one looks hard enough there may still be a genuine aid for the Day
Trader and Short Term Investor.
The price of a security represents a consensus. It is the price at which one person agrees to
buy and another agrees to sell. The price at which an investor is willing to buy or sell depends
primarily on his expectations. If he expects the security's price to rise, he will buy it; if the
investor expects the price to fall, he will sell it. These simple statements are the cause of a
major challenge in forecasting security prices, because they refer to human expectations. As
we all know firsthand, humans expectations are neither easily quantifiable nor predictable.
If prices are based on investor expectations, then knowing what a security should sell for (i.e.,
fundamental analysis) becomes less important than knowing what other investors expect it to
sell for. That's not to say that knowing what a security should sell for isn't important--it is.
But there is usually a fairly strong consensus of a stock's future earnings that the average
investor cannot disprove
Fundamental analysis and technical analysis can co-exist in peace and complement each
other. Since all the investors in the stock market want to make the maximum profits possible,
they just cannot afford to ignore either fundamental or technical analysis.

History
The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its history to the 1850s,
when four Gujarati and one Parsi stockbroker would gather under banyan trees in front of
Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times, as the number of
brokers constantly increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in
1875 became an official organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers
Association'.
In 1956, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government
under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act. The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the
BSE SENSEX in 1986, giving the BSE a means to measure overall performance of the
10 | P a g e

exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its derivatives market, trading SENSEX
futures contracts. The development of SENSEX options along with equity derivatives
followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform. Historically an open
outcry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading
system in 1995.
It took the exchange only fifty days to make this transition. This automated, screen-based
trading platform called BSE On-line trading (BOLT) currently has a capacity of 8 million
orders per day. The BSE has also introduced the world's first centralized exchange-based
internet trading system, BSEWEBx.co.in to enable investors anywhere in the world to trade
on the BSE platform. The BSE is currently housed in Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers at Dalal
Street, Fort area.

exchanges in India - Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Madras. The BSE National
Index was renamed BSE-100 Index from October 14, 1996 and since then, it is being

index). BSE disseminates information on the Price-Earnings Ratio, the Price to Book Value
Ratio and the Dividend Yield Percentage on day-to-day basis of all its major indices. The
values of all BSE indices are updated on real time basis during market hours and displayed
through the BOLT system, BSE website and news wire agencies.
All BSE Indices are reviewed periodically by the BSE Index Committee. This Committee
which comprises eminent independent finance professionals frames the broad policy
guidelines for the development and maintenance of all BSE indices. The BSE Index Cell
carries out the day-to-day maintenance of all indices and conducts research on development
of new indices. 2011 SENSEX is significantly correlated with the stock indices of other
emerging markets.

INTRODUCTION
Investing, like marriage, isn't something that should be entered into lightly. Investing in
equities gives high returns but they correspondingly have higher risk also. Before we invest
in a company, there are more than a few things we need to know about it.
Securities Analysis
An analysis of securities and the organization and operation of their markets. The
determination of the risk reward structure of equity and debt securities and their valuation.
Special emphasis on common stocks. Other topics include options, mutual fluids and
technical analysis.
Technical analysis is a method of predicting price movements and future market trends by
studying charts of past market action which take into account price of instruments, volume of
trading and, where applicable, open interest in the instruments.
Fundamental analysis is a method of forecasting the future price movements of a financial
instrument based on economic, political, environmental and other relevant factors and
statistics that will affect the basic supply and demand of whatever underlies the financial
instrument.

Main differences between the two types of analysis:

Fundamental analysis

Technical analysis

26 | P a g e

Focuses on what ought to

happen in a market
Factors involved in price
analysis:
1. Supply and demand
2.Seasonal cycles
3.Weather
4. Government policy

Focuses on what actually

happens in a market
Charts are based on market
action involving:
1.Price
2.Volume
3. Open interest (futures
only)

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Technical analysis can be conditionally divided into some main parts such as:

Types of charts

Graphical methods

Analytical methods

Technical analysis is concerned with predicting future price trends from historical price and
volume data. The underlying axiom of technical analysis is that all fundamentals (including
expectations) are factored into the market and are reflected in exchange rates.
A technical analysis is based on three axioms:

Movement of the market considers everything

Movement of prices is purposeful

History repeats itself

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

Support is a level at which bulls (i.e., buyers) take control over the prices and prevent them
from falling lower.

27 | P a g e

Resistance, on the other hand, is the point at which sellers (bears) take control of prices and
prevent them from rising higher. The price at which a trade takes place is the price at which a
bull and bear agree to do business. It represents the consensus of their expectations.

Support levels indicate the price where the most of investors believe that prices will move
higher. Resistance levels indicate the price at which the most of investors feel prices will
move lower.

Role Reversal
When a resistance level is successfully broken through, that level becomes a support level.
Similarly, when a support level is successfully broken through, that level becomes a
resistance level.

DOW THEORY TRENDS:

The ideas of Charles Dow, the first editor of the Wall Street Journal, form the basis of
technical analysis. The Dow theory is a method of interpreting and signaling changes in the
stock market direction based on the monitoring of the Dow Jones Industrial and
Transportation Averages. Dow created the Industrial Average, of top blue chip stocks, and a
second average of top railroad stocks (now the Transport Average). He believed that the
behavior of the averages reflected the hopes and fears of the entire market. The behavior
patterns that he observed apply to markets throughout the world.
28 | P a g e

Three Movements
Markets fluctuate in more than one time frame at the same time:
Nothing is more certain than that the market has three well defined movements which fit into
each other.

The first is the daily variation due to local causes and the balance of buying and
selling at that particular time.

The secondary movement covers a period ranging from ten days to sixty days,
averaging probably between thirty and forty days.

The third move is the great swing covering from four to six years.

Bull markets are broad upward movements of the market that may last several years,
interrupted by secondary reactions. Bear markets are long declines interrupted by
secondary rallies. These movements are referred to as the primary trend.

Secondary movements normally retrace from one third to two thirds of the primary
trend since the previous secondary movement.

Daily fluctuations are important for short-term trading, but are unimportant in analysis
of broad market movements.

Various cycles have subsequently been identified within these broad categories.
Primary Movements have Three Phases
The general conditions in the market:
Bull markets

Bull markets commence with reviving confidence as business conditions improve.

Prices rise as the market responds to improved earnings

29 | P a g e

Rampant speculation dominates the market and price advances are based on hopes
and expectations rather than actual results.

Bear markets

Bear markets start with abandonment of the hopes and expectations that sustained
inflated prices.

Prices decline in response to disappointing earnings.

Distress selling follows as speculators attempt to close out their positions and
securities are sold without regard to their true value.

Trends
Bull Trends
A bull trend is identified by a series of rallies where each rally exceeds the highest point of
the previous rally. The decline, between rallies, ends above the lowest point of the previous
decline.
Successive higher highs and higher lows.

The start of an up trend is signaled when price makes a higher low (trough), followed by a
rally above the previous high (peak):
Start = higher Low + break above previous High.
The end is signaled by a lower high (peak), followed by a decline below the previous low
(trough):
End = lower High + break below previous Low.

30 | P a g e

A bear trend starts at the end of a bull trend: when a rally ends with a lower peak and then
retreats below the previous low. The end of a bear trend is identical to the start of a bull trend.

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fundamental analysis refers to the study of the core underlying elements that influence the
economy of a particular entity. It is a method of study that attempts to predict price action and
market trends by analyzing economic indicators, government policy and societal factors (to
name just a few elements) within a business cycle framework.

I. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS:
POLITICO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS:
No industry or company can exist in isolation. It may have splendid managers and a
tremendous product. However, its sales and its costs are affected by factors, some of which
are beyond its control - the world economy, price inflation, taxes and a host of others. It is
important, therefore, to have an appreciation of the politico-economic factors that affect an
industry and a company.

II. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

The importance of industry analysis is now dawning on the Indian investor as never before.
1. BARRIER TO ENTRY
New entrants increase the capacity in an industry and the inflow of funds. The question that
arises is how easy is it to enter an industry ?
There are some barriers to entry:
a) Economies of scale
b) Product differentiation
31 | P a g e

c) Capital requirement
d) Government policy
2. THE THREAT OF SUBSTITUTION
New inventions are always taking place and new and better products replace existing ones.
An industry that can be replaced by substitutes or is threatened by substitutes is normally an
industry one must be careful of investing in. An industry where this occurs constantly is the
packaging industry -bottles replaced by cans, cans replaced by plastic bottles, and the like. To
ward off the threat of substitution, companies often have to spend large sums of money in
advertising and promotion.

3. BARGAINING POWER OF THE BUYERS

In an industry where buyers have control, i.e. in a buyer's market, buyers are constantly
forcing prices down, demanding better services or higher quality and this often erodes
profitability.
4. BARGAINING POWER FOR THE SUPPLIERS
An industry unduly controlled by its suppliers is also under threat.
5. RIVALRY AMONG COMPETITORS
Rivalry among competitors can cause an industry great harm. This occurs mainly by price
cuts, heavy advertising, additional high cost services or offers, and the like.

III. COMPANY ANALYSIS:

At the final stage of fundamental analysis, the investor analyzes the company. This analysis
has two thrusts:
How has the company performed vis--vis other similar companies and
How has the company performed in comparison to earlier years
It is imperative that one completes the politico economic analysis and the industry analysis
before a company is analyzed because the company's performance at a period of time is to an
extent a reflection of the economy, the political situation and the industry. What does one
look at when analyzing a company?
The different issues regarding a company that should be examined are:
The Management
The Company
32 | P a g e

The Annual Report

Ratios
THE MANAGEMENT:
The single most important factor one should consider when investing in a company and one
often never considered is its management.
In India management can be broadly
divided in two types:
Family Management
Professional Manageme

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY & DESIGN

TYPE OF STUDY
The research has been based on primary as well as secondary data analysis. The study has
been exploratory as it aims at examining the secondary data for analyzing the previous
researches that have been done in the area of technical and fundamental analysis of stocks.
The knowledge thus gained from this preliminary study forms the basis for the further
detailed Descriptive research. In the exploratory study, the various technical indicators that
are important for analyzing stock were actually identified and important ones short listed.
SAMPLE DESIGN
The sample of the stocks for the purpose of collecting secondary data has been selected on
the basis of Random Sampling. The stocks are chosen in an unbiased manner and each stock
is chosen independent of the other stocks chosen. The stocks are chosen from the Different
Sector.
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size for the number of stocks is taken as 3 in each sector for technical analysis
and fundamental analysis of stocks as fundamental analysis is very exhaustive and requires
detailed study.
