3.0 Stock Market: An overview
3.1 Stock Market
A stock market or equity market is a public entity (a loose network of economic
transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) for the trading of company stock
(shares) and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange
as well as those only traded privately.
The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion at the start of
October 2008. The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion
face or nominal value, 11 times the size of the entire world economy. The value of the
derivatives market, because it is stated in terms of notional values, cannot be directly
compared to a stock or a fixed income security, which traditionally refers to an actual value.
Moreover, the vast majority of derivatives 'cancel' each other out (i.e., a derivative 'bet' on
an event occurring is offset by a comparable derivative 'bet' on the event not occurring).
Many such relatively illiquid securities are valued as marked to model, rather than an
actual market price.
The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities of a corporation ormutual organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of the
organizations to a listing of stocks and securities together. The largest stock market in the
United States, by market capitalization, is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In Canada,
the largest stock market is the Toronto Stock Exchange. Major European examples of stock
exchanges include the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, Paris Bourse,
and the Deutsche Brse (Frankfurt Stock Exchange). In Africa, examples include Nigerian
Stock Exchange, JSE Limited, etc. Asian examples include the Singapore Exchange, the
Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and
the Bombay Stock Exchange. In Latin America, there are such exchanges as the BM&F
Bovespa and the BMV.

Stock Market: Bangladesh Perspective FIN 453
3.2 History of Stock Market
Established in 1875, the Bombay Stock Exchange is Asia's first
stock exchange
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. A common misbelief is that in late 13th century Bruges
commodity traders gathered inside the house of a man called
Van der Beurze, and in 1309 they became the "Brugse Beurse", institutionalizing what had
been, until then, an informal meeting, but actually, the family Van der Beurze had a building
in Antwerp where those gatherings occurred; the Van der Beurze had Antwerp, as most of
the merchants of that period, as their primary place for trading. The idea quickly spread
around Flanders and neighboring counties and "Beurzen" soon opened in Ghent and
Amsterdam.
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 lowerthe 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.
Italian companies were also the first to issue shares. Companies in England and the Low
Countries followed in the 16th century. The Dutch East India Company (founded in 1602)
was the first joint-stock company to get a fixed capital stock and as a result, continuous
trade in company stock emerged on the Amsterdam Exchange. Soon thereafter, a lively
trade in various derivatives, among which options and repos, emerged on the Amsterdam
market. Dutch traders also pioneered short selling - a practice which was banned by the
Dutch authorities as early as 1610.

Stock Market: Bangladesh Perspective FIN 453
There are now stock markets in virtually every developed and most developing economies,
with the world's largest markets being in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, India,
China, Canada, Germany (Frankfurt Stock Exchange), France, South Korea and the
Netherlands.
3.3 Market Participants of Stock Market
A few decades ago, worldwide, buyers and sellers were individual investors, such as
wealthy businessmen, usually with long family histories to particular corporations. Over
time, markets have become more "institutionalized"; buyers and sellers are largely
institutions (like pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, index funds, exchange-
traded funds, hedge funds, investor groups, banks and various other financial institutions).
The rise of the institutional investor has brought with it some improvements in market
operations. Thus, the government was responsible for "fixed" (and exorbitant) fees being
markedly reduced for the 'small' investor, but only after the large institutions had managed
to break the brokers' solid front on fees. (They then went to 'negotiated' fees, but only for
large institutions.
However, corporate governance (at least in the West) has been very much adversely
affected by the rise of (largely 'absentee') institutional 'owners'.
3.4 Functions of Stock Market
The stock marketis one of the most important sources for companies to raise money. This
allows businesses to be publicly traded, or raise additional financial capital for expansion
by selling shares of ownership of the company in a public market. The liquidity that an
exchange provides affords investors the ability to quickly and easily sell securities. This is

an attractive feature of investing in stocks, compared to other less liquid investments such
as real estate.
History has shown that the price of shares and other assets is an important part of the
dynamics of economic activity, and can influence or be an indicator of social mood. An
economy where the stock market is on the rise is considered to be an up-and-coming
economy. In fact, the stock market is often considered the primary indicator of a country's
economic strength and development.
Rising share prices, for instance, tend to be associated with increased business investment
and vice versa. Share prices also affect the wealth of households and their consumption.
Therefore, central banks tend to keep an eye on the control and behavior of the stock
market and, in general, on the smooth operation of financial system functions. Financial
stability is the raison d'tre of central banks.
Exchanges also act as the clearinghouse for each transaction, meaning that they collect and
deliver the shares, and guarantee payment to the seller of a security. This eliminates the
risk to an individual buyer or seller that the counterparty could default on the transaction.
The smooth functioning of all these activities facilitates economic growth in that lower
costs and enterprise risks promote the production of goods and services as well as possibly
employment. In this way the financial system is assumed to contribute to increased
prosperity.
3.5 Behavior of Stock Market
From experience it is known that investors may 'temporarily' move financial prices away
from their long term aggregate price 'trends'. (Positive or up trends are referred to as bull
markets; negative or down trends are referred to as bear markets.) Over-reactions may
occurso that excessive optimism (euphoria) may drive prices unduly high or excessive

Stock Market: Bangladesh Perspective FIN 453
pessimism may drive prices unduly low. Economists continue to debate whether financial
markets are 'generally' efficient.
According to one interpretation of the efficient-market hypothesis (EMH), only changes in
fundamental factors, such as the outlook for margins, profits or dividends, ought to affect
share prices beyond the short term, where random 'noise' in the system may prevail. The
'hard' efficient-market hypothesis is sorely tested by such events as the stock market crash
in 1987, when the Dow Jones index plummeted 22.6 percentthe largest-ever one-day fall
in the United States.
This event demonstrated that share prices can fall dramatically even though, to this day, it
is impossible to fix a generally agreed upon definite cause: a thorough search failed to
detect any 'reasonable' development that might have accounted for the crash. It seems also
to be the case more generally that many price movements are not occasioned by new
information; a study of the fifty largest one-day share price movements in the United States
in the post-war period seems to confirm this.
However, a 'soft' EMH has emerged which does not require that prices remain at or near
equilibrium, but only that market participants not be able to systematically profit from any
momentary market'inefficiencies'. Moreover, while EMH predicts that all price movement
is random, many studies have shown a marked tendency for the stock market to trend over
time periods of weeks or longer. Various explanations for such large and apparently non-
random price movements have been promulgated. For instance, some research has shown
that changes in estimated risk, and the use of certain strategies, such as stop-loss limits and
Value at Risk limits, theoretically could cause financial markets to overreact. But the best
explanation seems to be that the distribution of stock market prices is non-Gaussian.
Other research has shown thatpsychological factors may result in exaggerated stock price
movements. Psychological research has demonstrated that people are predisposed to
'seeing' patterns, and often will perceive a pattern in what is, in fact, just noise. In the
present context this means that a succession of good news items about a company may lead

investors to overreact positively. A period of good returns also boosts the investor's self-
confidence, reducing his risk threshold.
Another phenomenonalso from psychologythat works against an objective assessment
is group thinking. As social animals, it is not easy to stick to an opinion that differs
markedly from that of a majority of the group. An example with which one may be familiar
is the reluctance to enter a restaurant that is empty; people generally prefer to have their
opinion validated by those of others in the group.
In one paper the authors draw an analogy with gambling. In normal times the market
behaves like a game ofroulette; the probabilities are known and largely independent of the
investment decisions of the different players. In times of market stress, however, the game
becomes more like poker. The players now must give heavy weight to the psychology of
other investors and how they are likely to react psychologically.
The stock market, as with any other business, is quite unforgiving of amateurs.
Inexperienced investors rarely get the assistance and support they need. In the period
running up to the 1987 crash, less than 1 percent of the analyst's recommendations had
been to sell. In the run up to 2000, the media amplified the general euphoria, with reports
of rapidly rising share prices and the notion that large sums of money could be quickly
earned in the so-called new economy stock market.
3.6 Investment Strategies for Stock Market
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 by 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

10/51
Stock Market: Bangladesh Perspective FIN 453
regardless of the company's financial prospects. One example of a technical strategy is the
Trend following method, used by John W. Henry and Ed Seykota, which uses price patterns,
utilizes strict money management and is also rooted in risk control and diversification.
Additionally, many choose to invest via the index method. In this method, one holds a
weighted or un-weighted portfolio consisting of the entire stock market or some segment
of the stock market. The principal aim of this strategy is to maximize diversification,
minimize taxes from too frequent trading, and ride the general trend of the stock market.
3.7 Crashes in Stock Market
A stock market crash is often defined as a sharp dip in share prices ofequities listed on the
stock exchanges. In parallel with various economic factors, a reason for stock market
crashes is also due to panic and investing public's loss of confidence. Often, stock market
crashes end speculative economic bubbles.
There have been famous stock market crashes that have ended in the loss of billions of
dollars and wealth destruction on a massive scale. An increasing number of people are
involved in the stock market, especially since the social security and retirement plans are
being increasingly privatized and linked to stocks and bonds and other elements of the
market. There have been a number of famous stock market crashes like the Wall Street
Crash of 1929, the stock market crash of 19734, the Black Monday of 1987, the Dot-com
bubble of 2000, and the Stock Market Crash of 2008.
One of the most famous stock market crashes started October 24, 1929 on Black Thursday.
The Dow Jones Industrial lost 50 % during this stock market crash. It was the beginning of
the Great Depression. Another famous crash took place on October 19, 1987 Black
Monday. The crash began in Hong Kong and quickly spread around the world.
By the end of October, stock markets in Hong Kong had fallen 45.5 %%, Australia 41.8 %%,
Spain 31 %%, the United Kingdom 26.4 %%, the United States 22.68 %%, and Canada

22.5 %%. Black Monday itself was the largest one-day percentage decline in stock market
history the Dow Jones fell by 22.6 %% in a day. The names Black Monday and Black
Tuesday are also used for October 2829, 1929, which followed Terrible Thursdaythe
starting day of the stock market crash in 1929.
The crash in 1987 raised some puzzles-main news and events did not predict the
catastrophe and visible reasons for the collapse were not identified. This event raised
questions about many important assumptions of modern economics, namely, the theory of
rational human conduct, the theory of market equilibrium and the hypothesis of market
efficiency. For some time after the crash, trading in stock exchanges worldwide was halted,
since the exchange computers did not perform well owing to enormous quantity of trades
being received at one time. This halt in trading allowed the Federal Reserve system and
central banks of other countries to take measures to control the spreading of worldwide
financial crisis. In the United States the SEC introduced several new measures of control
into the stock market in an attempt to prevent a re-occurrence of the events of Black
Monday.
Computer systems were upgraded in the stock exchanges to handle larger trading volumes
in a more accurate and controlled manner. The SEC modified the margin requirements inan attempt to lower the volatility of common stocks, stock options and the futures market.
The New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange introduced the
concept of a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker halts trading if the Dow declines a
prescribed number of points for a prescribed amount of time.
3.8 Instruments of Stock Market
Financial innovation has brought many new financial instruments whose pay-offs or values
depend on the prices of stocks. Some examples are exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stock

their history traces back to commodities futures exchanges), or traded over-the-counter. As
all of these products are only derived from stocks, they are sometimes considered to be
traded in a (hypothetical) derivatives market, rather than the (hypothetical) stock market.
Leveraged strategies
Stock that a trader does not actually own may be traded using short selling; margin buying
may be used to purchase stock with borrowed funds; or, derivatives may be used to control
large blocks of stocks for a much smaller amount of money than would be required by
outright purchase or sales.
Short selling
In short selling, the trader borrows stock then sells it on the market, hoping for the price to
fall. The trader eventually buys back the stock, making money if the price fell in the
meantime and losing money if it rose. Exiting a short position by buying back the stock is
called "covering a short position." This strategy may also be used by unscrupulous traders
in illiquid or thinly traded markets to artificially lower the price of a stock. Hence most
markets either prevent short selling or place restrictions on when and how a short sale can
occur. The practice ofnaked shorting is illegal in most stock markets.
Margin buying
In margin buying, the trader borrows money at interest to buy a stock and hopes for it to
rise. Most industrialized countries have regulations that require that if the borrowing is
based on collateral from other stocks the trader owns outright, it can be a maximum of a
certain percentage of those other stocks' value. In the United States, the margin
requirements have been 50 % for many years.
A margin call is made if the total value of the investor's account cannot support the loss of
the trade. Regulation of margin requirements (by the Federal Reserve) was implemented
after the Crash of 1929. Before that, speculators typically only needed to put up as little as
10 percent (or even less) of the total investment represented by the stocks purchased.

4.2.1 DSE
The necessity of establishing a stock exchange in the then East Pakistan was first decided
by the government when, early in 1952.It was learnt that the Calcutta Stock Exchange had
prohibited the transactions in Pakistani Shares and Securities. The provincial industrial
advisory council soon thereafter set up an organizing committee for the formation of a
stock exchange in East Pakistan. A decisive step was taken the second meeting of the
organizing committee held on the 13th March, 1953. In the cabinet room, eden building,
under the chairmanship of Mr. A. Khaleeli, Secretary Government Of East Bengal,
Commerce, Labor And Industries Department at which various aspects of the issue were
discussed in detail. Then the central governments proposal regarding the Karachi Stock
Exchange opening a branch at Dhaka did not find favor with the meeting who felt that East
Pakistan should have an independent stock exchange. It was suggested that Dhaka
Narayanganj Chamber Of Commerce & Industry should approach its members for purchase
of membership cards t RS.2000 each for the proposed stock exchange. The location of the
exchange it was thought should be Dhaka, Narayanganj or Chittagong. An organizing
committee was appointed consisting of leading commercial and industrial personalities of
the province with Mr. Mehdi Ispahani as the convener in order to organize the exchange.
The Chamber Informed Its Members And Members Of Its Affiliated Associations Of The
Proceedings Of The Above Meeting, Requesting Them To Intimate Whether They Were
Interested In Joining The Proposed Stock Exchange. This Was Followed By A Meeting, At
The Chamber Of About 100 Persons Interested In The Formation Of The Exchange On
07.07.1953. The Meeting Invited 8 Gentleman To Become Promoters Of The Exchange With
Mr. M Mehdi Ispahani As The Convener And Authorized Them To Draw Up The
Memorandum And Article Of Association Of The Exchange And Proceed To Obtain Register
Under The Companies Act.1913. The Other 7 Promoters Of The Exchange Were Mr. J M
Addision-Scott, Mr. Mhodammed Hanif, Mr. A C Jain, Mr. A K Khan, Mr M Shabbir Ahmed

system with main objectives of detecting potential market abuses at a nascent stage to
reduce the ability of the market participants to unduly influence the price and volumes of
the scrips traded at the Exchange, improve the risk management system and strengthen the
self regulatory mechanism at the Exchange. The system provides facility to access trades
and orders of members.
Off-Line Surveillance
The Off-Line Surveillance system comprises of the various reports based on different
parameters and scrutiny thereof -
High/ Low Difference in prices % change in prices over a week/ fortnight/ month Top N scrips by Turnover over a week/ fortnight/ month Top N scrips by Volume over a week/ fortnight/ month Trading in infrequently traded scrips Scrips hitting New High / Low etc.
The Surveillance actions or investigations are initiated in the scrips identified from the

Trading on the Dhaka Stock Exchange index was halted after it fell by 660 points or 9.25%,
in less than an hour in 9th January 2011. It was the biggest one-day fall in its 55-year
history. It is estimated that over three million people - many of them small-scale individual
investors - have lost money because of the plunging share prices. The benchmark index had
climbed by 80% in 2010 but has lost more than 27% since early December. Investors and
police also clashed last month. Monday's protest followed losses of about 6.7% in Sunday
trading. Trading was also halted on the country's other main index, the Chittagong Stock
Exchange. There was also violence in the port city of Chittagong - which has its own
exchange.The rising value of the stocks in recent years has attracted millions of investors in
Bangladesh. Shares have become a popular investment for ordinary people, often providing
higher returns than bank deposits and savings.
The BBC's Mark Dummett says that Bangladesh might be one of Asia's poorest countries,
but its two stock markets have soared in recent years on the rising value of its mobile
telephone companies and other firms.

After having gained by about 80 percent during the year 2010, Dhaka Stock Exchange has
shown an unprecedented nose-dive on Sunday. The Stock Market lost 660 points (9.25 %)
in just one hour. As a result the trading suffered a loss of about 6.7 percent. Chittagong
Stock Market also met a similar fate. An abrupt crash of the market sparked violentprotests from the Bangladeshi investors.
Investment in the stocks is a popular business among the educated middle class of
Bangladesh who were left frustrated with the sudden loss to their capital. They were
finding ways and means to exit from the market in order to minimize the losses.
The analysts have opined that the immediate reason for this crash was the policy of the
regulators of the market who laid down a limit for investment by the banks and other
financial institutions in the stocks. This was done in order to avoid the market being
overvalued. As the banks and other big investor institutions withdrew the capital from the
market, the panic ensued.

The government of Bangladesh may be under pressure to intervene in order to protect the
hard earned money of the small investors from being lost due to this unusual crash of the
stock market. Stock price was also slightly influenced by the some key people of
government. There is also some false news from some company behind this problem.
However by this time of January 2010, Investors, who have not received any positive
assurance from the government, demanded the market remain shut until the prime
minister takes up the issue and comes up with a solution to restore confidence in the
market and the regulators suspended six trading houses on the main Dhaka Stock
Exchange.
