this is IPO (initial public offering)
but now as you know that I can't fix high prices for my IPO due to
CCI dude.
so i'll have to give the IPO shares via lottery only to a few people.
but those who get my cheap IPO via lottery will immediately go to
secondary market and sell it at higher price.
and those lucky dudes who won the lottery made money without
really doing anything.
As you can see, all this is not good for industrial Development.

Computerized trading
The order-matching system is characterized by strict price-time
priority,
The OTCEI, which was set up in 1992, was the first computerised

to do business in the exchange. (no cellphones with free incoming!)
Thus, true to its name, NSE turned out to be the first national stock
exchange.
