4. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is
what a man does with
what happens to him.
-- ALDOUS HUXLEY
Many students may have done work on this project in different ways/styles. I have also
tried to work on this project in a different way.
It was for the first time I got the opportunity to work in such a prestigious and well
known organization. And things which I have experienced in my training time are going to
help me through out my life time. I have worked on this project with great enthusiasm and
zeal. I have
tried to cover almost all the things which I have experienced and learned from the
company’s management.
No doubt at present working atmosphere is fine but it needs some alternations, keeping
in mind this view; I have also suggested some improvements/suggestions. The title which
is:
―COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MAJOR STOCK BROKER COMPANY’S”
The main goal of my project is to find out the frequency, uses, modifications
,improvements and appropriate suggestions .It would be my great pleasure , if this project
can help this company to achieve its goal higher any way.

6. History
Braudel suggests that in Cairo in the 11th century Muslim and Jewish merchants had
already set up every form of trade association and had knowledge of every method of credit
and payment, disproving the belief that these were invented later by Italians. In 12th
century France the courratiers de change were concerned with managing and regulating the
debts of agricultural communities on behalf of the banks. Because these men also traded
with debts, they could be called the first brokers. In late 13th century Bruges commodity
traders gathered inside the house of a man called Van dyer Bourse, and in 1309 they
became the "Brugse Beurse", institutionalizing what had been, until then, an informal
meeting. The idea quickly spread around Flanders and neighboring countries and
"Beurzen" soon opened in Ghent and Amsterdam.
6
7. In the middle of the 13th century Venetian bankers began to trade in government securities.
In 1351 the Venetian government outlawed spreading rumors intended to lower the price of
government funds. Bankers in Pisa, Verona, Genoa and Florence also began trading in
government securities during the 14th century. This was only possible because these were
independent city states not ruled by a duke but a council of influential citizens. The Dutch
later started joint stock companies, which let shareholders invest in business ventures and
get a share of their profits - or losses. In 1602, the Dutch East India Company issued the
first shares on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. It was the first company to issue stocks and
bonds.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange (or Amsterdam Beurs) is also said to have been the first
stock exchange to introduce continuous trade in the early 17th century. The
Dutch"pioneered short selling, option trading, debt-equity swaps, merchant banking, unit
trusts and other speculative instruments, much as we know them" (Murray Sayle, "Japan
Goes Dutch", London Review of Books XXIII.7, April 5, 2001). There are now stock
markets in virtually every developed and most developing economies, with the world's
biggest markets being in the United States, Canada, China (Hong Kong), India, UK,
Germany, France and Japan
7
8. WHAT IS STOCK ?
The word stock simply refers to a supply. You may have a stock of T-shirts in your closet
or a stock of pencils in your desk. In the financial market, stock refers to a supply of money
that a company has raised. This supply comes from people who have given the company
money in the hope that the company will make their money grow.
A market is a public place where things are bought and sold. The term "stock market"
refers to the business of buying and selling stock.
Or
"Stock Market" is a term that is used to refer both to the physical location for buying and
selling stocks, and to the overall activity of the market within a certain country. When you
hear "The stock market was down today," it refers to the combined activity of many stock
exchanges.
The correct term for the physical location for trading stocks is the "Stock Exchange." A
country may have many different stock exchanges. Usually a particular company's stocks
are traded on only 1 exchange, although large corporations may be listed in several.
8
9. Why Companies Issue Stock..
If a company wants to grow—maybe build more factories, hire more people, or develop
new products—it needs money. It could get a loan from a bank. But then it would owe
money. By issuing stock, a company can raise money without going into debt. People who
buy the stock are giving the company the money it needs to grow.
Not every company can issue stock. A business owned by one person (a proprietorship) or
a few people (a partnership) cannot issue stock. Only a business corporation can issue
stock. A corporation has a special legal status. Like a school, its existence does not depend
on the people who run it. Under the law it is separate from the people associated with it,
and has special legal rights and
responsibilities as well as its
own unique name.
...And Why People Buy It?
Owning stock in a company
means owning part of that company. Each part is known as a share. If a company has
issued 100 shares of stock, and we bought one, we own 1% of that company. People who
own stock are called stockholders, or shareholders.
Stockholders hope the company will earn money as it grows. If a company earns money,
the stockholders share the profits. Over time, people usually earn more from owning stock
than from leaving money in the bank, buying bonds, or making other investments.
9
10. WHY DO INVESTORS BUY STOCKS?
Generally, investors buy stocks because they believe that
the company will continue to grow - and thus the value
of the stock will rise too.
Buying the stocks of already well-known companies is
relatively safe, but investors who acquire stock in a new company are facing a much more
substantial risk… but they have much more to gain too. For instance, those people who
bought Microsoft shares in the 80s and kept them for a long time saw an exponential rise in
their value - something most investors only dream of.
10
11. WHAT IF IT ISN’T LISTED ON AN EXCHANGE?
Buying partial ownership in a smaller company can still be done of course, but that will be
entirely different kind of investment, one that has nothing to do with stocks. These types of
investment are much less liquid and are much riskier. This is called a ―Private Placement‖
while stock on an exchange is called ―Publicly Traded‖.
Theoretically, publicly traded stock provides more protection because the transaction is
monitored by the Securities and Exchange board of India (SEBI). Because publicly traded
stocks must be traded on a stock exchange, an individual investor always needs a broker
who makes transactions for him. Basically, brokers are people who take orders to buy or
sell a certain stock in exchange for a small commission on the sale. (In other words they are
just glorified sales people).Stock orders may include instructions to buy or sell stock at a
certain price (Limit orders) or simply to trade them for whatever the present price is
(market orders). When the order arrives to a broker, he executes it (or rather, tries to
execute it) by finding a buyer or seller willing to trade for the ordered price. As you
probably see, the other side of transactions is represented by another broker acting on some
instructions, too.
11
12. ADVANTAGES OF STOCKS
Stocks have several advantages over savings investments. Since each share equals partial
ownership in a company, they give the holder some influence over every major decision the
company faces. The decisions are made on one share -
one vote basis and shareholders are often asked to vote
on all important decisions that company is to make.
What is more, being a shareholder entitles you to take
part in any profits the company makes. They are issued as a dividend once or twice a year,
depending on the decision made by company the directors. As the company grows the
value of the stock rises and the profits' distribution along with that.
When the company suffers losses you aren't asked to give anything in, but the value of the
stocks you have will almost surely fall. If you compare the stocks with classical savings
investments like bonds, bank certificates of deposit etc., you will quickly notice that they
have greater potential to earn more money quickly -- but they are much riskier investment,
as the chances of loss is real.
However if you know your share about how the stock market works and what the various
investment strategies are, you can minimize losses. Most investors find out that they do
much better business on the stock market than would be ever possible with any kind of
savings investment.
12
13. One Man, 5,000 Votes?
Stockholders in a company usually have voting rights. They vote on such issues as who
will be elected to the board of directors—the group of people who oversee company
decisions—and whether to buy other companies. Stockholders typically have one vote for
each share they own. Every vote counts, but a stockholder with 5,000 shares will have
more influence on the company than someone with only one share.
Most companies have annual meetings, where stockholders cast votes and ask questions of
the company's leaders. If they cannot attend, stockholders may use an absentee ballot to
vote. Shareholders also receive quarterly and annual reports that tell them how the
company is doing.
13
14. What Goes Up Earns Bucks
When the price of a particular stock rises, that stock is said to be "up," meaning up in price.
When the price falls, the stock is said to have gone "down." The terms "up" and "down" are
also used to describe the rise and fall of the market as a whole.
As a company makes money, the value
of its stock goes up. For instance, pretend
you bought some shares of stock for Rs10
each. Since you share the company's profits,
if it does well the shares might later be worth Rs15 each. You could then sell your stock
and make Rs5 on each share. If the company loses money, however, you would also share
its losses. Those Rs10 shares might each be worth Rs3 if the company fell on hard times
14
15. Of Bears and Bulls
Bears are cautious animals who don't like to move
too fast. Bulls are bold animals who might charge right ahead. An investor is said to be
"bearish" if he or she believes the stock market will go down. A "bearish" investor will buy
stock cautiously.
A "bullish" investor believes the market will go up.
He or she will charge ahead and put more money into the market. An investor can be
bearish or bullish about a particular kind of stock.
Likewise, the term "bear market" describes a time when stock prices have been falling on
the whole. A "bull market" is a period when stock prices are generally rising

73. ICICIdirect Other broker
Normal brokerage 0.85% max Lets say 0.50%
A Transaction value 10000 10000
B Brokerage (Rs.) 85.00 50.00
C Service Tax (5% of B) NIL 2.50
D Other charges (0.03% of A) NIL 3.00

How much do we pay for an average demat transaction?
ICICI demat has a Market Buy rate of 0.03% or Rs 25/-, whichever is higher, for
EVERY trade. If we calculate, an investor has to buy at least up to Rs 83333/- worth of
shares to pay 0.03% in EVERY Trade. Obviously not many people pay 0.03%. They pay
Rs 25/- instead.
Suppose an average person trades in Rs10000/- in every trade, he shall pay Rs 25/- for
demat charges. This comes to 0. 25% of his trade amount.
73
74. So he pays at least 0.75% and not 0.50%. Add other charges to this and it will go up to
at least 0.80%. On top of it, one may incur the local conveyance directly or indirectly in
collecting/sending cheques/TIFDs with the broker concerned.
