TRADING HISTORY
History 1. Before 1979, when CompuServe marketed MicroNET to consumers, no individual used the net, just businesses. MicroNET, the retail branch of CompuServe, found an outlet at Radio Shack and soon gained wide appeal and it accounted for over 50 percent of the
9
company's income by the year 1987 when it took back the parent name, CompuServe. The Source, its competitor that also started in 1979, grew rapidly. However, CompuServe bought them out in 1989.
Time Frame
2. Imagine the enthusiasm of Bernie Newcomb when Phil Porter shared his idea about
trading stock on a personal computer back in 1980. Newcomb understood programming and developed the necessary one to successfully trade a stock. A dentist in Michigan made the first stock trade on July 11, 1983. This was the first trade for the company Trade*Plus. It took 9 more years before the company was named the fastest growing company in Silicon Valley and by 1996, Trade*Plus received the new name E-Trade Group. Features 3. Other companies entered the market for consumer stock trading. First Omaha Securities, Inc. became a clearing broker in 1983. It changed its name to Accutrade. Later when they were part of a holding company in 1987 the name changed again to TransTerra Company Inc 1987 and eventually became AmeriTrade in 1996. It offered the first order system via the touch-tone phone in 1988. Slowly the necessity of the broker started to seem less important. Considerations
10
4. Bernie Newcomb and Phil Porter split as partners and Porter started a new company, ETrade Group. E-Trades Securities was a subsidiary, and the primary reason for the company. It offered services to the public that allowed trading on both America Online and CompuServe. Later when the firm grew dramatically, by 1996, it went public and the changed the name to E*Trade Financial. Effects 5. The market gets bullish for the 1990's. This fact, coupled with the lower cost of Internet access started to drive the uses of the Internet. Communication via email and total access to the web made the transition easy for millions of people. Now, they no longer had to call a broker or schedule an appointment. The Web was open 24 hours a day and the market was hot. By January of 1996, AmeriTrade introduced "Accutrade for Windows" and developed the first eBroker. Benefits 6. Discount brokerage houses grew, as did online trading. Schwab, one of the innovators of discount brokerage services, offered the first 24-hour quotation service to clients in 1980. By the year 1996, they offered live trading on the web. Other companies also jumped into the action. The American public fell in love with online trading because even an idiot could make money in the stock market during the excessively bullish 1990's. The cost of a trade was dramatically lowered. At first, a $24 trade was magnificent. However, as companies grew more web-based the price dropped. When the market went south in 1999 and early 2000, web brokers slashed even more at the cost of the trade to maintain their
11
clients. Today, Online stock trading accounts are owned by most people that invest. Even if they use the services of a broker, they normally have the option of trading stock on their own, via the Internet.
12
Basics of Indian Share Market Share Share is nothing but the Ownership of the company divided into small parts and each part is called as Share or Stock.A person carrying a share of a company holds that part of ownership in that company. A person holding maximum shares has maximum ownership like directors, chairman etc.
Share Market A Share market is the place where buying and selling of shares takes place. Now days due to internet and advanced technology there is no need to be physical present in exchanges like NSE and BSE but the buying and selling of shares takes place from anywhere in India and also from foreign country. One should need the demat account, computer and internet connection and he/she can start trading. Share market and its analysis Financial markets like NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) are countries economic barometer (a guide to economic growth). Stock markets like NSE and BSE are the stock exchanges where the trading of a company's stock takes place.
First let us understand the Working of a share (stock) market To learn about how you can earn on the stock market, one has to understand how it works. When a person want to buy/sell shares in the share market then he has to first place the order with a broker or can do themselves using online trading systems (this will be discussed later).
13
When you place the buy order, the message is transferred to the exchange [either NSE {National Stock Exchange} or BSE {Bombay Stock Exchange}] and the order stays in the queue of exchange's other orders and gets executed if the price of that share comes to that value. Once you get the confirmation of this transcation,the shares purchased, will be sent to your demat account.The shares will be in electronic format in demat account.
Rolling Settlement Cycle: (RSC) RSC means when you will get your shares in your demat account.In a rolling settlement, each trading day(T) is considered as a trading period and trades executed during the trading day(T) are settled on a T+2 basis i.e. trading day plus two working days. So on forth working day you can see the shares in your demat account
What is Demat account and why it is required? Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is a board (corporate body) appointed by the Government of India in 1992 with its head office at Mumbai. Its one of the function is helping the business in stock exchanges and any other securities markets. In another word it is the regulator for stock exchanges.
# Demat (short form of Dematerialization) is the process by which an investor can get shares (also called as physical certificates) converted into electronic form maintained in an account with the Depository Participant (DP).
14
# DP could be organizations involved in the business of providing financial services like banks, brokers, financial institutions etc. DPs are like agents of Depository.
# Depository is an organization responsible to maintain investor's securities (securities can be shares or any other form of investments) in the electronic form.In India there are two such organizations called NSDL (National Securities Depository Ltd.) and CDSL (Central Depository Services India Ltd.)
# Investors wishing to open Demat account has to go DP and open the account. # Opening the Demat account is as simple as opening the bank account with any bank. As you need bank account to save your money, make cheque payments etc, likewise you need to open a demat account if you want to buy and sell stocks in share market.
# All shares what you possess will show in your demat account, so you don't have to possess any physical certificates. They are all held electronically in your demat account. As you buy and sell the shares accordingly your shares will get adjusted in your demat account.
Is a demat account a must? YES. The market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has made it compulsory to open the demat account if you want to buy and sell shares in share market. So a demat account is a must for trading and investing in share market.
15
How to open a Demat account? You have to approach a DP to open a Demat account.Most banks are DP participants so you may approach them or else you can contact us. To have latest list of registered DP please visit websites and.
A broker and a DP are two different people. A broker is a member of the stock exchange, who buys and sells shares on his behalf and also on behalf of his customers.
Following are the documents required to open Demat account When you approach any DP, you will be guided through the formalities for opening a demat account. The DP will ask to provide some documents as proof of your identity and address. Below is a list but you may not require all of them. PAN card, Voters ID, Passport, Ration card, Drivers license, Photo credit card Employee ID card, IT returns, Electricity/ Landline phone bill etc.
Do you need any shares to open a Demat account? NO. You need not have to have any shares to open a demat account. A demat account can be opened with no balance of shares. And there is no minimum balance to be maintained either. You can have a zero balance (shares) in your account.
The charges for demat account opening, annual account maintenance fees and transaction charges varies between various DPs. To have latest charges please visit websites of and or else you need to contact the specific broker.

Investing!! What's that.
18
Why should you invest? Simply put, you should invest so that your money grows and shields you against rising inflation. The rate of return on investments should be greater than the rate of inflation, leaving you with a nice surplus over a period of time. Whether your money is invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds or certificates of deposit (CD), the end result is to create wealth for retirement, marriage, college fees, vacations, better standard of living or to just pass on the money to the next generation or maybe have some fun in your life and do things you had always dreamed of doing with a little extra cash in your pocket. Also, it's exciting to review your investment returns and to see how they are accumulating at a faster rate than your salary.
When to Invest? The sooner the better. By investing into the market right away you allow your investments more time to grow, whereby the concept of compounding interest swells your income by accumulating your earnings and dividends. Considering the unpredictability of the markets, research and history indicates these three golden rules for all investors 1. Invest early 2. Invest regularly 3. Invest for long term and not short term
19
While its tempting to wait for the best time to invest, especially in a rising market, remember that the risk of waiting may be much greater than the potential rewards of participating. Trust in the power of compounding. Compounding is growth via reinvestment of returns earned on your savings. Compounding has a snowballing effect because you earn income not only on the original investment but also on the reinvestment of dividend/interest accumulated over the years.. The general upward momentum of the economy mitigates the stock market volatility and the risk of losses. Thats the reasoning behind investing for long term rather than short term.
How much to invest? There is no statutory amount that an investor needs to invest in order to generate adequate returns from his savings. The amount that you invest will eventually depend on factors such as: 1 Your risk profile 2. Your Time horizon 3. Savings made and So instead of just dreaming about those wads of money do something concrete about it and start investing soon as you can with whatever amount of money you can spare.
20
Investment is a term with several closely-related meanings in finance and economics. It refers to the accumulation of some kind of asset in hopes of getting a future return from it. Assets such as equity shares or bonds held for their financial return (interest, dividends or capital appreciation), rather than for their use in the organizations operations.
Return on Investments
The money you earn or lose on your investment, expressed as a percentage of your original investment.In Simple words, It is the amount received as a result of investing in particular ventures.
Collective Investments Schemes Funds which manage money for a number of investors and pool it together. This enables investors to benefit from a larger number of individual investments and cost efficiencies.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments are generally investments with maturities of less than one year.
Capital Investments Investments into the fixed capital (capital assets), including costs for the new construction, expansion, reconstruction and technical reequipment of the operating enterprises, purchase of
21
machinery, equipment, tools, accessories, project and investigation works and other costs and expenditures.
There are two ways for investors to get shares from the primary and secondary markets. In primary markets, securities are bought by way of public issue directly from the company. In Secondary market share are traded between two investors..
22 and palce shares of leading companies would be active,
23
particularly those which are sensitive to economic and political events and are, therefore, subject to sudden price movements. Some market analysts would define active shares as those which are bought and sold at least three times a week.

They have many financial schemes regarding Commercial investment There are many people who are satisfies with the Scheme. The procedure of Investing from this company is simple and easy and also costumer friendly. I also come to know that many industrialist, traders, and new entrepreneur were aware of these schemes. Portfolio Diversification:- Mutual that what he can manage his own. Less Risk:- Investors acquire a diversified portfolio of securities even with a small investment in a Mutual Fund. The risk in a diversified portfolio is lesser than investing in merely 2 or 3 securities. Low Transaction Costs:- Due to the economies of scale (benefits of larger volumes), mutual funds pay lesser transaction costs. These benefits are passed on to the investors.
92
Liquidity: - An investor may not be able to sell some of the shares held by him very easily and quickly, whereas units of a mutual fund are far more liquid. Choice of Scheme: - Mutual Funds provide investors with various schemes with different investment objectives. Investors have the option of investing in a scheme having a correlation between its investment objectives and their own financial goals. These schemes further have different plans/options.

RECOMMENDATION
Securities Company needs to provide such type of facilities as much as possible because these students can be the future customers of the company for other services also. As far as branches are concern they are not providing much attention on promoting these facilities as compare to top management of the company so proper steps must be taken for that. Visiting schools and colleges for promotion purpose is only practicing in Delhi region it should be on national basis.In case of any kind of delay in service proper feedback system should be there. More efficient staff should be appointed so that they can easily provides all the cooperation required by the customer.Unnecessary formalities should be removed and should try to reduced the large documentation process while sanctioned investing.Interior space should be extended so that people will freely move during rush hour. News paper and magazines should kept for customers, so that they feel relaxed until their transactions are over. As study reveals that securities company schemes are the best as compare to there sector it should be capitalized as much as possible.
