Story of Stock Market
Stock market consist of a number of participants. But when we think about stock market we only bothered about us (Investors) only. We think about the questions like. how can we invest? How can we make profit from stock market?
But we have to think about the entire story of a stock market. Which have a number of companies and they list their stocks in this stock market. This companies have a story. This whole stock market works with brokers, so These brokers also have a story.
When we go through all this stories we will get a clear view of stock market and its working.
Stock market is basically a building in which shares of publicly listed companies can purchased and sold.
Consider an example of a super market owned by Mr. Thomas (Fictional character). It is a famous super market which is making a decent profit. It have a number of employees, inventories, geographical area, a Building and so on. Thus Thomas’s super market have a value and it is called valuation of a company. This valuation is equally divided into a number of units called share or stock of a company.
If the valuation of this super market is 10 Lakh. This 10 lakh is divided into 1000 shares (random number). Then value of each share is 1000 (10,00000/1000). Simply,
Business Valuation = Number of shares * Value of each share
Suppose Mr. Thomas want to start more branches of his super market in various cities. He need more capital (money) to start new branch. If someone are interested to invest some money to this business then thomas can take their money by selling shares of his company. If investor invested 5 lakh then Thomas can sell 50% of the total share.
To issue shares to the public a company should become a public listed company. After that they can do IPO (Initial Public Offering) in the stock market. So that anyone can purchase and sell this shares from the stock market through brokers.
