Investors participate voluntary to buy ownership of a company in the public market. It is said that stock market is an intermediary institution to adjust a gap between surplus units and deficit units of an economy.

...Bangladesh stock market faces biggest crash in 55 years. If we would recall, Dhaka Stock Exchange Gen. Index (DGEN) soared to its highest levels from October to December last year, with the peak on Dec. 5, 2010 at 8,918 points. DSE’s index on Jan. 3, 2010 was at 4568.40 and went up at a staggering 4,350 points or 95.23% increase! But 2weeks ago, Jan. 10, 2011, trading on the Dhaka Stock Exchange was halted after it fell by 660points, or 9.25%, in less than an hour, the biggest one-day fall in its 55-year history. Reasons for Stock Market Crash: 1. Bangladesh was having current account surpluses (huge remittance flows). So more money was coming in than going out. It made a situation that lots of people had money in their hands. Rather keeping money at banks, they invested that money in Stock Market. Because you can earn more in a short period of time. 2. Interest rates went down. So, it was not a good idea to get around 8.5% interests per year (before tax) when inflation was around 5-7%.So suddenly, people had a lot of idle money which they were unable to invest anywhere. Anywhere except the stock market that is. Thus the joyride of equities (stocks) began and that situation is still continuing. Because of this excess flow of funds by both general investors as well as institutions (Banks, NBFI's and Insurance companies), multiple attempts by the regulator failed to cool down the market. No alternative investments were available. Plus, when you can earn 30% return...

...Bangladesh stock market crisis: diagnosis, remedies, prospects Admin by Md Toufique Hossain Over the last few years, the capital market of Bangladesh has witnessed haughty growth, which has not been in line with development in the real economic sector. Although, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Bangladesh has tried to correct the irregular behaviour observed in the market, very often it is argued that lack of proper decisions from the regulator’s side has contributed to make the market more unstable. But the important thing is ‘How to stand again after a complete slump?’ Historical scenario of Bangladesh stock market The Bangladesh capital market landscape showed a bubble and burst episode in 1996. The benchmark price barometer of DSE, General Price Index (DGEN), increased by 139.3 percent during 1991-1995 and stood at 834.7 at the end of 1995. It recorded a remarkable increase of 337 percent in 1996. From the beginning of 1996, stock prices moved to the pressure of the market bubble. From July 1996 DGENI grew at an accelerated rate reaching its peak at 3648.7 on 5 November 1996 – an increase of 280.5 percent from the index of 959.1, at the end of June. Later that day the bubble burst and market crashed, as share prices of companies slumped. During the next year the DGEN lost 2892 points. Form then to the end of 2003, the capital market price index was below 800. This year, on January 10, 2011, the DGEN nosedived 660 points within the first 50 minutes...
