What attracts or drives investor to Invest in the stock markets in India?

yes off course, india has a growing market so everybody invest here,

Investments in stocks is an Insurance by basic definition of contingent claim investment, insurance against loss in value of currency, insurence against contingent claims etc;.

Behavioral finance theories of Khanemann and Trvesky of relational expectations go counter to Von-Nuemann-Morgenstien's rational expectations model. The latter depend on utility of the investor where as the former depends on relative factors of the environment.

Efficient market hypothesis explains that the price of a stock reflects all the information available on the stock at that point in time.

Mam : Urvish : Practically there are dedicated sites to discuss Stocks and its market. Even there, one may not reveal his/her technique of "investing" in details. As I told U : gaining / loosing here are routine.

One may even change strategies say daily or weekly or monthly.

We'll be glad and proud if U could learn here about the market. But, postings in 'debate' form has some problem too.

However, when U have interest, U may read some renowned books and some journals too.

Another point : in my thought, if personally U dont invest in this market, U may not get the real feelings, joy or sorrow - rather say, ur knowledge may not be time-tested. Last : keep investing - remain invested. Warning : this is a high risk market.

@Asoke Sir....I totaly agree with you that I am a fresher but I may never invest in stock market without my personal Analysis over the Brokers analysis....Like @Vipin Sir told I agree to have made mistake in specifing the options It should have been "Self Analysis"So can we consider "Drivers" as unfair trading brokers who tend to spread rumours like one of ICICI bank If i am not worng.

The bottom line I Want to convey is that there is a lack of "Educated investor" coz of which there lies Inefficiencies(Under or over Valuations of stocks) and hence we can say that there are less number of Arbitragers in the Indian Stock Markets...

@Rashmi Ma'm....I would agree to what you said but the thing is a very less amt or say an Insignificant amt of investors know abt the analysis you conveyed...

Please correct me If I am wrong any were it may be because of My lack of knowledge of market or news.It is just I am here to learn so please Co-operate.

Tips ... ? Investing scarce money in an un-certain market called Stock-market armed with only tips  ?

U r a fresher ... so many veterans gained / lost their fortune in Stocks. This market may not be 'described' like this ... !! Even one may not venture to explain the "drivers" .. !

Yes, even i feel the most of the retail investors in todays mkt are not well educated in terms of share mkt and mostly are driven towards this kind of investment by looking their peers/friends or tips to make some quick and easy money. 

Cheers!!

Yes exactly..

Is it that this days the trend that is what i say. Like there is lack Self evaluation which leads to over and under valuation of stocks?

What I exactly am trying to find out is for Small scale investors like those who earns about 20-30k Rs. a months saves and invests.

The point is many of them just invest on the basis of tips and do not try to access the information on the company for instance Annual reports. which means they blindly trust on Brokers.

In India(Our country) I believe household or small scale investor work or invest more on the basis of tips and hence lose out alot of HARD earned money... Also young people like me who have got a less knowledge about how the market reacts tend to do the same thing. Why cant we be more precise if we want to invest a hard earned money into market meaning there are more efficient ways to invest in a company. This will help out to work markets to be more efficient i.e. market will not react to rumours and will react to the publicly available information. This will save a lot of losses caused in-relation to investment on the basis of "TIPS" by the brokers. I do not mean that brokers give incorrect information but at times they tend to take an undue advantage of the lack of knowledge of the investors.
