A type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.
There are two main types of stock: common and preferred. Common stock usually entitles the owner to vote at shareholders' meetings and to receive dividends. Preferred stock generally does not have voting rights, but has a higher claim on assets and earnings than the common shares. For example, owners of preferred stock receive dividends before common shareholders and have priority in the event that a company goes bankrupt and is liquidated.
Also known as "shares" or "equity".
A holder of stock (a shareholder) has a claim to a part of the corporation's assets and earnings. In other words, a shareholder is an owner of a company. Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the number of outstanding shares. For example, if a company has 1,000 shares of stock outstanding and one person owns 100 shares, that person would own and have claim to 10% of the company's assets.
Stocks are the foundation of nearly every portfolio. Historically, they have outperformed most other investments over the long run.

Time to buy selected stocks
Indexes , again fell today.Sensex fell 2.47% and standing on 13,461.60 and Nifty is on 4040.55.As all say...One should never catch a falling knife.It's time to believe in it.If one is eager to invest at this point of time...one should carefully select the undervalued stocks or the stocks which don't deserve the beating ,what we saw recently.
Indexes are coming down to my given level as i said in my May month blog.My studies say that indexes are near the bottom and it will be wise to buy those stocks ,which are on the supporting level on the charts for a technical bounce which can give the investors 15 to 20 % return in 2 months from now.

Sensex will go past 40000 in next 5 years
When I used to say my friends ,that sensex has the potential to go past 40,000 mark,no one believed me.It was in 2005 winter.Once, that year,i asked famous technical analyst ,Vivek Patil ,at icici bank towers hall,about the similarity between nikkei graph(between 1960-90) and indian stock market chart pattern,and asked
whether the sensex will do a nikkei?He said he will have a look on that but I told him that i strongly believe that it can,when i studied and compared our economy to Japnese electronic boom from out IT boom and our major companies growth rate.it seemed on the card.
On 29 October 2007, Sensex had touched the peak of 20,000...then one of my friend came and congratulated me for my market reading.I was overwhelmed with joy.
Now sensex is in correction mode and i think that it will be a life time opportunity to buy stocks.
Sensex has still the potential to go past 40,000 mark in next 5 years.

CRR and Repo rate hike
The RBI hiked the repo rate, the rate at which banks borrow from RBI, by 50 basis points and the CRR by 50 basis points,(CRR), Cash reserve Ratio (CRR) is the amount of funds that the banks have to keep with RBI.
Certainly ,it will do an adverse effect on the stock market.Indexes are goin down to my given levels of 3500(nifty)and 11,000(sensex).Currently, at the end of this week trade,nifty is on 4136 and sensex is on 13802.
