Varied trading options that are getting popular
The scripts traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) have been classified into A, B1, B2, C, F and Z group. The scrips listed on the BSE under the A, B1 and B2 groups represent the equity segments. The ‘C’ group covers the odd lot securities in A, B1 and B2 groups and rights renunciations. The ‘F’ group represents the debt market (fixed income securities) segment. The ‘Z’ group comprises of the shares of de-listed companies.
The BSE is currently the only stock exchange in country that provides online trading in odd lot of securities and rights renunciations. Trading in this segment covers all the scrips listed in the equity segment. This facility for trading in odd lots of securities and rights renunciations offers investors an exit route to dispose off their odd lots and to consolidate their securities into marketable lots.
The trading cycle for all these groups of securities is weekly. The trading cycle for A, B1, B2 and C group of securities representing the physical segment is from Monday to Friday and that for ‘F’ group of securities is from Tuesday to Wednesday. Such a trading cycle offers much more flexibility to the investors and also the traders because of the ease with which the various operations are taking place.
trading in commodities has become widely popular since the advent of the online stock trading option at the Bombay Stock Exchange. A buyer and a seller can easily place orders and thus ensure that a transaction is completed at the best price that satisfies both parties.
While in earlier times, commodities trading took much time, with the advent of the virtual trade, things have become much easier. The main reason for the fewer number of transactions in commodities is due to the risk involved. When compared to the trade in securities, a trader involved in commodity trade had to keep a significant sum of money in reserve to meet the fluctuation in the market that may arise at the most unknown hour.
