INTRODUCTION
Stocks (share, equity) are traded in stock exchange India has two big stock exchanges (Bombay
Stock Exchange –BSE and National Stock exchange - NSE) .
A stock market is a public market (a loose network of economic transactions not a physical
facility or discrete entity) for the trading of company stock and derivatives at an agreed price;
these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately. Participants
in the stock market range from small individual stock investors to large hedge fund traders who
can be based anywhere. Their orders usually end up with a professional at a stock exchange, who
executes the order.
It is well recognized now that stock market influences economic activities through creation of
liquidity. Many profitable investments necessitate a long term commitment of capital, but
investor is generally reluctant to part with savings for a very long period. By making investments
relatively less risky, stock market liquidity can also lead to more savings and investments.
One of the many things people always want to know about the stock market is, "How do I make
money investing?" There are many different approaches; two basic methods are classified as
either fundamental analysis or technical analysis. Fundamental analysis refers to analyzing
companies by their financial statements found in SEC Filings, business trends, general economic
conditions, etc. Technical analysis studies price actions in markets through the use of charts and
quantitative techniques to attempt to forecast price trends regardless of the company's financial
prospects.
The study will be undertaken to know the preference of the investors towards various investment
avenues in relation to stock market or they can adopt other methods for investments. The study
on investor’s preference in stock market also gives an idea of the investor’s choice based on
returns, risk and their awareness in choosing the stock market.
Objectives of study
SAMPLING
All items in the field of inquiry constitute a ‘population’. The respondents selected from the total
population for research purpose constitute a ‘sample’. A sample represents the total population.
There are two different types of sample designs based on the representation basis, they are-
1) PROBABILITY SAMPLING- under this sampling design every item of the universe has an
known and non zero probability of being selected.
2) NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING- it is that sampling procedure which does not afford any
basis for estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the
sample. It is done by convenience sampling method and purposive sampling method.
The sample size for this research project will be 50 and sampling technique used will
be non probability sampling technique using convenience and judgmental sampling method.
Data collection
1) Primary data: Primary data will be collected through a survey with the help of a
