The story of the Bombay Stock Exchange and the people who shaped its growth: From wars and bomb blasts to speculators, reformers and wealth creators.
The exchange moved through many ups and downs through the years.
This guide will explain the options, what NSE and BSE options are and what differentiates them from each other.
'Only four or five original companies remain; the rest have been replaced every decade as sectors evolve or leadership shifts.' 'Companies that fail to adapt -- like many textile mills from the 1970s and shipping firms from the 1980s -- disappear.' 'Benchmark indices reward those who reinvent themselves in line with economic demands.'
'BSE has facilitated nearly Rs 35 trillion in capital raising across multiple segments.'
The 50-share National Stock Exchange index Nifty also shuttled between 4,524.00 and 4,436.60, before winding up at 4,469.10, showing a net loss of 33.15 points. The information technology sector, which led the upsurge in Tuesday's trading, suffered the most, losing 1.74 per cent to 3,694.03, as segment major Infosys and Tata Consultancy dropped on profit booking.
Profit-booking in IT and index-heavyweights dragged markets.
In a move to allow US investors to directly participate in India's equity markets, Chicago-based US Futures Exchange (USFE) will exclusively license the Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex for US dollar-denominated futures trading beginning February 22 next year. At present, US investors can buy only a handful of Indian stocks listed on the New York and Nasdaq exchanges through an American Depository Receipt (ADR) authorisation.

The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex opened 30 points higher at 15,993, and soon slipped into a negative zone in early trades after the government announced the hike in fuel prices.
You may have to pay for using the Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex or other indices for launching any product or scheme based on it, as Asia's oldest stock exchange is increasingly becoming protective about its brands.
There is an unprecedented sense of jubilation among investors, as they expect a big thrust on the reforms front.
Three sectoral indices -- Realty Index, Oil and Gas Index, and Bankex -- led the sharp fall in stock prices in the last five days, which saw the Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex suffer its sharpest ever continuous drop. The three indices fell nearly 9 per cent each between January 14 and January 18, 2008. Power, metals, IT, capital goods and consumer goods indices also declined by 5-8 per cent during the week.
Recent rally in Indian shares may not last long.
