Stock prices change every day because of market forces. By this we mean that stock prices change because of supply and demand. If more people want to buy a stock (demand) than sell it (supply), then the price moves up! Conversely, if more people wanted to sell a stock than buy it, there would be greater supply than demand, and the price would fall. Understanding supply and demand is easy. What is difficult to understand is what makes people like a particular stock and dislike another stock. If we understand this, we will know what people are buying and what people are selling. If we know this we will know what prices go up and what prices go down. To figure out the likes and dislikes of people, we have to figure out what news is positive for a company and what news is negative and how any news about a company will be interpreted by the people. The most important factor that affects the value of a company is its earnings. Earnings are the profit a company makes, and in the long run no company can survive without them. It makes sense when you think about it. If a company never makes money, it isn't going to stay in business. Public companies are required to report their earnings four times a year (once each quarter). Investors watches with great attention at these times, which are referred to as earnings seasons. The reason behind this is that analysts base their future value of a company on their earnings projection. If a company's results are better than expected, the price jumps up. If a

company's results disappoint and are worse than expected, the price will fall. Another most important factor is efficient markets hypothesis. Because investors have no idea about the marketing situation and they dont understand the stock market valuations. Of course, it's not just earnings that can change the feeling people have about a stock. It would be a rather simple world if this were the case! During the dotcom bubble, for example, the stock price of dozens of internet companies rose without ever making even the smallest profit. As we all know, these high stock prices did not hold, and most internet companies saw their values shrink to a fraction of their highs. Still, this fact demonstrates that there are factors other than current earnings that influence stocks. Current Bangladesh share market can experience huge decline because of: a) Most of the share prices are very high (lack support of fundamentals). B) People who are involved in the market has egger to make quick profit by short trading only. Most of them do not want to hold shares for little long. C) Excess liquidity in the market also pushing share prices without solid reason (only speculation).Manipulators are active! d) Our banking other financial institutions has exposed it selves to very much risk (By involving speculative share trading now).When the market will down turn or crash they will in serious trouble (Bangladesh Bank must see this matter). All Investor should to be more careful and consider couple of think when he/she invest money in market. 1. Never sell your valuable property only to invest in share market. 2. If you are not well educated about our share market than only invest in primary share of reputed companies and don't take risk anyway. 3. Try to attend in seminars which are conducted by stock exchanges to teach investors about the current condition and investment policy of share market. 4. Discuss with educated and experienced people to learn about share market and Read newspapers, books, etc to learn yourself about share market

5. Invest in Secondary market very meticulously when you have confident that you know well about the secondary market. 6. Never and Never invest only hear the fake information about the condition of various companies. Many evil people make rumor to plunder the hard earned money of small investors. And Always keep it mind that invest in share market is like invest in other risky business. Nobody can earn money here only by luck.
