Sensex..is the short for Sensitive Index thats been created by BSE or Bombay Stock Exchange. Sensex is the performance index of the 30 best companies that are listed at the BSE!..Its a highly volatile index and is subject to frequent fluctation depending on the market trend and other factors such as political climate,wether conditions,government policy..etc. Ya and sensex is only for the equity of the company and the amount of trading done on these 30 shares each day!(Stock,Equity,Share,Security..etc is different names for one thing..it refers to the part ownership of the company).Earlier only the BSE had a monopoly in share trading and other transactions and in order to break this The NSE or the National Stock Exchange was formed. The index used in the NSE is called S&P CNX Niffty!\nSmilar to the Sensex of BSE..NSE's Niffty is an Index which is based on the performance of the best 50 companies shares that is listed on the NSE.\nMidcap refers to companies that fall into the catagory of having a medium amount of capital..these are those companies that have been established very recently..the shares of these companies register most fluctutaion..daily!\n\nHope this has helped you!

It means what is the underlying asset used to settle the contract.  So for a stock option that would usually be the cash stock (so GE stock to settle a GE Option).  Occasionally it might be the cash instead.

Maam,sensex has got a past which shows that it's one of the world's most dynamic markets.After almost 3 weeks of downfall,rather biggest downfall,FII's have changed their view from caution to aggresive buying.MUTUAL FUNDS will continue to pour money as that's their job.Overall after this deep correction fundamentally market is very strong.The way it's gone one way down it's capable of going one way up as well.though some amount of short covering may be seen in middle.But in 1MONTH  time it should return back to 12000

Well, I really dont think so...when sensex from 8000 is bounced above 12000 in short span of time, that time only wise investor must have got a warning....\n\nI did invested lot of money in shares when sensex was at 10000 but i exit all my scrips when it touched 12000 without thinking it will go to 16000.\n\nAt this moment i feel sensex will come down more may be to its original level of 8000.\n\nif you think sensibly and observe market properly i dont think retail investors have to feel cheated...\n\nHope i have answered your question:)

You are most likely thinking of the Nasdaq and Dow Jones Indicies.\n\nThese are not stocks.\n\nThey are indicies of a variety of stocks that investors use as a kind of barometer for the stock market in general.\n\nThere are only 30 stocks in the DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) and over 3000 companies in the Nasdaq Composite index.\n\nWhile these indicies aren't stocks in and of themselves, you are able to buy ETFs (Exchange traded funds) that are copies of the indicies.  That's kind of like "buying" the index itself and performance of the ETF will mirror that of the index.

An abbreviation of the Bombay Exchange Sensitive Index (Sensex) - the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It is composed of 30 of the largest and most actively-traded stocks on the BSE. Initially compiled in 1986, the Sensex is the oldest stock index in India.  \n\n   \n The index is calculated based on a free-float capitalization method when weighting the effect of a company on the index. This is a variation of the market cap method, but instead of using a company's outstanding shares it uses its float, or shares that are readily available for trading. The free-float method, therefore, does not include restricted stocks, such as those held by company insiders that can't be readily sold. \n\nTo find the free-float capitalization of a company, first find its market cap (number of outstanding shares x share price) then multiply its free-float factor. The free-float factor is determined by the percentage of floated shares to outstanding. For example, if a company has a float of 10 million shares and outstanding shares of 12 million, the percent of float to outstanding is 83%. A company with an 83% free float falls in the 80-85% free-float factor, or 0.85, which is then multiplied by its market cap (e.g., $120 million (12 million shares  x .$10/share) x 0.85 = $102 million free-float capitalization

Actively managed funds lose their shine as the market matures and hence outperforming broader market consistently for a long period is nearly impossible.\n\nAs far as India is concerned only around 100-300 stocks are well researched and actively traded in the market and hence provide liquidity.  Fund houses which go beyond these stocks can always pick-up winners and hence beat the market index.  Just look at the how a large cap fund FT India Bluechip fund can better the Sensex index by huge margin.  An yet to mature market like India will always offer better opportunities for the fund manager for the next 10-15 years.\n\nETFs and Index funds have low expense ratios and that is plus point.  But in the diversified funds vs ETF/Index funds they are not mutually exclusive and hence they can compliment any investor portfolio.\n\nGood luck.
