11.) Introduction to the Indutry
12.) History of Stock Broking
The history of stock brokers can be traced back to the origins of the first stock exchange in 1602 at
Amsterdam. Even before that brokers are said to have existed in France dealing with government
securities. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange was involved in buying and selling of shares for the Dutch
East India Company. However, the first real stock exchange came up in Philadelphia in the United
States during the late 18th century. Later it was the New York stock exchange which saw a rise in its
popularity. Wall Street, as it was called, became the hub of brokerage activities. Earlier stock brokers were
largely unorganized, but later most of them joined hands to form institutes and organizations. Till the
1980's stock broking services were used only by the wealthy class who could afford them. Later with the
advent of the Internet, stock broking became very easy. Thus, the price tag on stock brokers lowered
considerably and their services became available even to the common man. The stock broking duties are
now mostly taken up by major organizations with the smaller companies being absorbed by them. In
India, too with increasing globalization the major corporations are penetrating deeper into the society.
History of Stock Exchanges in India:
Stock markets refer to a market place where investors can buy and sell stocks. The price at which each
buying and selling transaction takes is determined by the market forces (i.e. demand and supply for a
particular stock). Let us take an example for a better understanding of how market forces determine
stock prices. ABC Co. Ltd. enjoys high investor confidence and there is an anticipation of an upward
movement in its stock price. More and more people would want to buy this stock (i.e. high demand) and
very few people will want to sell this stock at current market price (i.e. less supply). Therefore, buyers will
have to bid a higher price for this stock to match the ask price from the seller which will increase the stock
price of ABC Co. Ltd. On the contrary, if there are more sellers than buyers (i.e. high supply and low
demand) for the stock of ABC Co. Ltd. in the market, its price will fall down. In earlier times, buyers
and sellers used to assemble at stock exchanges to make a transaction but now with the dawn of IT, most
of the operations are done electronically and the stock markets have become almost paperless. Now
investors don„t have to gather at the
Exchanges, and can trade freely from their home or office over the phone or through Internet.
