Difference between NSE and BSE

BSE & NSE are the two stock exchanges in which stocks of a company are traded.. A company can be listed in both the stock exchanges, no harm.. In terms of which market is profitable to invest, I'm not too sure on that... It depends on varoius factors... With respect to nifty, its an index that measures the overall performance of the market.. It gains generally when the market gains & vice versa.. I hope i have resolved your query, If there is any different opinion by others, then can post it...  My view may not be totally right..

NSE:

National Stock Exchange of India or in short NSE happens to be India’s largest Stock Exchange and World’s third largest stock exchange in terms of transactions. It is located in Mumbai and was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying company. It was in April 1993 that NSE was recognized as stock exchange under the Securities Contract Act 1956.

Objectives

The main objective behind NSE is to establish trading facility nationwide for all types of securities. It also ensures equal access to all investors in the country through the process of an appropriate telecommunication network. NSE was able to achieve its objectives within a very short span of time. NSE has national reach to major market segments like equity or capital markets, futures and options or derivatives market, wholesale debt market, mutual funds, initial public offerings and so on. There is also a concept of day trading which suits well for short term investments. But there are investors who think that this type of trading is quite risky.

BSE

BSE or Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia that was established in 1875. What’s more, it is also the biggest stock exchange in the world. BSE is located at Dalal Street, Mumbai.

Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange are both major stock exchange in India. But there is a difference between NSE and BSE. Investors put their money in the stock market in order to reap huge benefits from their investment. But nobody can predict the market . any stock market is decided by its country’s growth. But you should be aware that it requires a lot of patience. The market tumbles down and this is the reason why investors fear of investing their money.

The Sens*x is an indicator of all the major companies of the BSE.

The Nifty is an indicator of all the major companies of the NSE. 

If the Sens*x goes up, it means that the prices of the stocks of most of the major companies on the BSE have gone up. If the Sens*x goes down, this tells you that the stock price of most of the major stocks on the BSE have gone down.

Just like the Sens*x represents the top stocks of the BSE, the Nifty represents the top stocks of the NSE.

Just in case you are confused, the BSE, is the Bombay Stock Exchange and the NSE is the National Stock Exchange. The BSE is situated at Bombay and the NSE is situated at Delhi. These are the major stock exchanges in the country. There are other stock exchanges like the Calcutta Stock Exchange etc. but they are not as popular as the BSE and the NSE.Most of the stock trading in the country is done though the BSE & the NSE.

Besides Sens*x and the Nifty there are many other indexes. There is an index that gives you an idea about whether the mid-cap stocks go up and down. This is called the “BSE Mid-cap Index”. There are many other types of indexes.

Agreed with...

Keep Discussing, It will be more benificial for the freshers,

Thanxx to all who gave their contribution.

helpfull information n thanks

thanks for d information

Guys dont ask such kind of questions.... The Internet is loaded with lots of information and there's also something called "Wikipedia" where you can find any information on the general topics.   

So one request is not to post questions like these without any effort of  first researching it yourself....

this is very useful information.

Can anyone also clear what is MID CAP???

Cap stands for capitalization, which means the total amount/value of the shares outstanding. Thus, MSFT's market capitalization in basic terms is its share price multiplied by how many of its shares are on the market.

Thus, small, mid and large just determine how big a company is based on that number.

So companies from different industries can both be large cap, as long as they have a high capitalization, like GE or Google. Same thing goes for mid and small.

There is not specific definition on what the actually value range a small cap vs. mid cap is defined by. Kind of like the same way one person might call a man who was 6 feet a tall man and one person might call him average.

That being said, just to give you an idea. I personally would classify them this way:

Small Cap = 0 - $500 mm capitalization
Mid Cap = $500mm - $1,500 capitalization
Large Cap = $1,500mm and above

But this may slightly vary from person to person

Vaulable information ..

Thanx
