What is Sensex? What is Nifty ? Difference between these two..

Answer / sunil p. dave.

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.

What is Sensex? What is Nifty ? Difference between these two..

Answer / p.a.l.ananth babu

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...
