Rise and Fall of Stock Market: Rumors Only?

-

 Today I thought of writing on a prominent topic that is always talked about,  Nepal's Stock Market. Stock Market is a place where the public listed companies are traded. It is a public venue where individuals or group of people buy and share the shares of the public listed companies that have issued shares. The price of each shares of companies rise and fall based on their demand and the traded price. Stock Exchange can be future savings, investments for greater returns as well as job for some. 

The companies that cross a capital or are just established issue Initial Public Offering(IPO) which are simply the small shares of that company. These IPOs usually cost 100 NRs., but some might issue for 10 NRs. each. The interested individuals apply for different number of shares. However the shares offered by the company remains constant due to which we often encounter online news that the IPO has been applied 3, 4,5,6... times more than it was decided to be issued. 

Then after the deadline of the application date, the companies allot different number of shares to many individuals. It is not necessary that those who applied has to be allotted the same amount applied or or even has to be allotted. Then the remaining amount returns to our respective Bank Accounts. Few years back, people had to stand in queues for hours to apply for shares but now can be applied online. 

The rise and fall of price of shares of any company might rise or fall. It is almost unpredictable but the Stock Markets all around the globe are usually manipulated by various hoax and news. Talking about the Nepalese Stock Market known in every household as Share Bazaar is greatly affected by these rumors. A small hoax can change the fortune of any company within the hours. The price of newly established companies doing no work could be sky rocketing and the shares of A-listed Banks and Companies might be equal to peanuts in terms of price due to small rumors. 

Moreover in Nepal Share Market also provides its share holders profits in every other year in the form of Dividends, Bonuses, Right Shares and Bonus Shares. The news of these profits elevate the stock prices of those companies remarkably.

The Unwanted Parcel

     It was a snowy Saturday morning in the chilly cold month of December somewhere in Dehradun, which was about 241.4 km from Delhi, capital of India. I came here all the way from Lalitpur, Nepal with my parents to travel around Dehradun, a popular tourist destination of India. We also had a plan to visit a Medical College named Dehradun College of Medical Sciences, a renowned college of India, for me to study MBBS in it the following year as I was studying in grade 12 that year. We had rented a small house that belonged to some local rich man. The house was a kilometer away from the college hostel, and we stayed there as we could not find any suitable lodges in the town and those available were quite uncomfortable and dirty. It had been 3 days since we got here. My mother had just ended a phone call with my maternal grandparents, who were in Nepal. They were quite upset that they could not come along with us as the winter in Dehradun was quite unbearable and they w...

Post Class Reflection: Week 8

Today, on 2 nd September, 2020, we attended one more English Class. I took today’s class with same joy and excitement like the previous classes. There were 2 very interesting presentations lined up for today which made us happier. All of us were eager to begin today’s class and so were the presenters to present their presentations.   The class began with two of my friends presenting on a short story named “Mr. Know All” written by William Somerset Maugham. This was a very interesting story that was presented in an even more fascinating technique. This story deals with the theme of “ Never judge a book by its cover” , with the mentality of people who still carry thoughts of racism. The story tells us that the outer appearance could never unveil the inner reality. The various aspects of this story were presented by the presenters such as the racism that had been shown within the story and various other angles of the story that made it even clearer.     After this, ...

Post Class Reflection: Week 6

  “Knowledge is a treasure that follows its owner everywhere.” So with this positive note, I would like to begin post class reflection of today’s English class, which was as spell binding as the previous classes. One and half hours of learning with equally interesting interactions and discussions with Eak sir was all I needed to write this blog. Today we mainly discussed on Technical Communications part, where we learnt how to write “Incident Reports” and “Lab Reports”.   Firstly few of my friends presented on “Incident Reports”. It was a type of report which was written by the observer of some kind of incident especially damage of physical property or some kind of mishap. These kinds of reports had to answer all types of Wh-questions i.e. what, where, when, etc. regarding that incident such as place, time, cause, effect and damage caused. A reader of the incident report had to understand the entire scenario of the incident and its effects. It had to be completely different...
