...Circuit Breaker Systems in India Circuit breaker is a point at which a stock market will stop trading for a while when the value of a stock drops substantially. It is used by stock exchanges to avert panic selling when investors do large sell offs. This helps prevent market free fall and create a balance between buy and sell orders. HISTORY Circuit breakers were introduced in the market in response to Black Monday, which was an uneventful day, On Oct 19th, 1987; the market plunged 508 points (22%) and lost $500bn in one day. Circuit breakers were introduced in October 1989. Circuit breakers have evolved and have strict guidelines these days. Circuit breakers were placed at drop points. Which meant if the market dropped by 400 or 500 points, they would come into effect. In 1997, this was given way for a more rational percentage based circuit breaker system. If the market dropped by 10% or 20%, circuit breakers would come into effect. In the US markets, SEC can halt trading if the DJIA drops by 10% before 2.30pm. If the DJIA drops 30% at any pint in the day, trading for the day ends. DJIA has dropped more than 10% only three times in its history. CIRCUIT BREAKER in INDIA.

...ft Beta Estimation Practice And Its Reliability Biasness Towards Aggressive Stocks: An Empirical Evidence From NSE * Dr. Neeraj Sanghi ** Dr. Gaurav Bansal INTRODUCTION While investing in a capital market, investors always have concern about the market movements or changes in the value of capital market index. This tendency of investors' behavior is related to a psychological factor that reveals that market movements and prices of stocks are closely related to each other. Upward / downward movement in market index gives trigger to the expectation of investors that the value of their holding would move accordingly. This is, more formally, known as systematic risk arising on account of economic wide uncertainties and explains the tendency of stock's price movement together with changes in market index. Systematic risk, also known as market risk, cannot be reduced through diversification of stocks' portfolio. Investors arc exposed to market risk even when they hold well diversified portfolio of securities. In finance literature, beta coefficient is a measurement statistic of systematic risk; it refers to the slope in a linear relationship fitted to data on the rate of return on a stoek and Ihc rate of return of the market (or market index). This usage stems from Sharpe's 1963 paper in Management Science. Beta is the stock's sensitivity to the market index: it is the degree (in percentage) by which the stock's relum lends to increase or decrease for every 1% increase or decrease...

...of Derivatives The global economic order that emerged after World War II was a system where many less developed countries administered prices and centrally allocated resources. Even the developed economies operated under the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. The system of fixed prices came under stress from the 1970s onwards. High inflation and unemployment rates made interest rates more volatile. The Bretton Woods system was dismantled in 1971, freeing exchange rates to fluctuate. Less developed countries like India began opening up their economies and allowing prices to vary with market conditions. Price fluctuations make it hard for businesses to estimate their future production costs and revenues. 2 Derivative securities provide them a valuable set of tools for managing this risk. This article describes the evolution of Indian derivatives markets, the popular derivatives instruments, and the main users of derivatives in India. I conclude by assessing the outlook for Indian derivatives markets in the near and medium term. 2. Definition and Uses of Derivatives A derivative security is a financial contract whose value is derived from the value of something else, such as a stock price, a commodity price, an exchange rate, an interest rate, or even an index of prices. In the Appendix, I describe some simple types of derivatives: forwards, futures, options and swaps. Derivatives may be traded for a variety of reasons. A derivative enables a trader to hedge some...

...mentioned that the Indian stock markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200 years ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meager and obscure. By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took place in Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only few brokers recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850. The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage business attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased into 60. In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply from United States to Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers increased to about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, a disastrous slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850 could only be sold at Rs. 87). At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers who thrived out of Civil War in 1874, found a place in a street (now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they would conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively known as “The Stock Exchange“). Trading was at that time limited to a dozen brokers. These stock brokers organized an informal association -the Native Shares and Stock Brokers Association, Bombay...
