both are not properly understood by many and driving them to
invest in the stock market.
SENSEX - SENSITIVITY INDEX   :: NIFTY  - NATIONAL FIFTY
it is like Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar whether he makes a
century or gets out on 0. So unpredictable about sensex when
it raises or falls.
An entity starts a joint stock company with Rs. 10 and holds
a debt of Rs.200 and commences business. It earns a profit
of Rs. 100 and offers to public (IPO) at a price band of Rs.
1000. You pay Rs. 1000 and purchases it and speculates about
wind,water,and every thing under the sun that effects your
purchased stuff of Rs. 1000 for a profit.

that Rs. 1000 (whose worth is Rs. 10 + Rs. 100) before
considering the debt of Rs. 200 is indicator of the rate at
which it is available for a term sale ( to get rid of risk
associated by making others to pay)

one crore among 100and odd crores of our population are
running after these two.

these two are much talked things for these many and
everybody of one crore people in our sub-continent...

The Sensex is an "index". What is an index? An index is 
basically an indicator. It gives you a general idea about 
whether most of the stocks have gone up or most of the 
stocks have gone down. 

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

Just like the Sensex 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.

SENSEX - SENSITIVITY INDEX   : NIFTY - NATIONAL FIFTY
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

other indexes. There is an index that gives you an idea 
about whether the mid-cap stocks go up and down. This is
