AWARENESS OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS AND INVESTING PATTERNS IN THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET

Abstract

Investment is the act of giving up something now with the hope of getting something more in the future. Depending on whether it is a long-term or short-term investment and whether it is a hazardous or risk-free venture, investment tries to multiply money at higher or lower rates. The market offers a variety of investment options, including stocks, bonds, bank deposits, mutual funds, national savings certificates, life insurance, and more. Depending on their needs, preferred level of risk, and anticipated return, individuals must select the appropriate investing strategy. People's decisions about their investments are influenced by a variety of circumstances. The various investors pursue a variety of investing possibilities. There are many different option trading methods available on the stock market that can give traders the proper signals (entry and exit prices) at the right moments. Economic, social, political, and psychological issues all influence how option prices change. Thus, among the variables affecting finance are human aspirations, objectives, motivations, mistakes, and overconfidence. The basic analysis, technical analysis, and time series forecasting techniques can all be used to predict or estimate option values. When two investors are presented with the same price information, they will respond differently and place a different value on it. A unique perspective on the intensity and direction of the price action of the strike price is offered by technical indicators. Three primary purposes of indicators are alerting, confirming, and predicting. Today, thousands of indicators are in use. Regression analysis is useful since it enables you to essentially crunch the data to aid in present and future corporate decision-making.The purpose of this study is to know about the investment decisions and risk tolerance of the investors. This study will help in creation of an automatic system for better decision making in identifying the stock buy and sell positions.
