NSE vs BSE

[vasa1]

Alchemist, what is the meaning of this?

NSE may overtake BSE in market cap. Source.

As far as I know, the number of stocks traded on the BSE far exceeds that on the NSE.

No idea.

As far as I know, almost all stocks/securities that are listed on NSE are also listed on BSE.

It isn't possible for NSE to have a higher cumulative market capitalization than BSE.

I think its related to the MCap of the cos BSE and NSE basis some valuations. How this is done no clue.

these aren't the market values of NSE and BSE, but the cumulative market values of all companies listed on the exchanges.

NSE is not a listed company, but its market value is estimated to be around Rs 10000 crore only.

NSE's market capitalisation stood at Rs 47,01,923 crore at the end of trade on Friday last week, not far behind the Bombay Stock Exchange's valuation of Rs 50,12,966.76 crore, according to data available on the two bourses.

============================

one can check the stats on NSE's site:

Alchemist, there was this article in yesterday's ET. Is there any reason why there are so many more stocks listed on the BSE than NSE? Is it historical in that many of the companies that were listed on the BSE before the NSE started just never bothered to list on the NSE?

There's also this quote:

"The large number of illiquid stocks on BSE stems from the fact that the listing requirements for both exchanges are different. We can see lot of dud and dummy companies listed on BSE which are as good as private limited companies," said Vikram Bhatt, director of Ajmera Associates.

Is the NSE stricter in some way?

Much more stricter than BSE.

BSE is the "hota hai, chalta hai" exchange....

Some companies which are quite decent are not listed on the NSE.

Here's a partial list (from memory):

Abbott
Bayer Crop Science
Hawkins
Nestle
Novartis
TRF (Tata Robins Fraser)

I am watching only TRF from the above list.

There may be an increase in the number of scrips available for trading on the NSE soon

Madras SE members to trade directly on NSE

Facility to be made available from November 5.

Though the number of stocks to be allowed to be traded on the NSE is not known, an official said more than half of the MSE-listed scrips will be traded.

Unfortunately, not a big deal: list

TRF is now on the NSE. I don't know when that happened.

Is there any way to find out?

[vasa1]

TRF was listed yesterday!

Looks like some other giants are also being awakened: Abbott (I), Bayer Crop Science, Nestle, to name some.

Looks like soon there maybe no reason for me to prefer the BSE , which is what I have been doing for some time.

Although I may still contribute in my small way to keep competition alive.

[vasa1]

The list is here .......: link

Ramji, you still watching this? It is 5.3% up today. I thought I would get some discount but ....

Ramji, this is steaming hot .

I will have to average upwards if I want to hold a "round" figure.

I hope you grabbed some

BSE may get a new boss:

S. Ramadorai, non-executive vice-chairman of India’s biggest computer services firm Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), will join the board of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and become chairman of Asia’s oldest bourse, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

So it's not official.

Let's hope he makes a positive difference.

Pai, from Infosys, doesn't seem to have done much for SEBI. At least that's the impression I got from various articles on Sucheta Dalal's site.

One thing both exchanges seem to have in common is a growing dependence / insistence on a single operating sytem as far as users who wish to access certain features are concerned.

After TAME Lite, it's now the turn of NSE's Desktop Financial Manager (with this link: http://www.fidoh.com/Downloads.html but it's on the nseindia.com site!) to make it clear that certain operating systems are required.

Another giant stride (forward??) for Independent India's growth as an IT superpower: dependence on one company for proprietary software

[vasa1]

A little bit more about the two exchanges here, much of it to do with how the BSE is trying to stay in the game.

[solar]

One difference between the 2 exchanges is regarding the prices adjusted after bonus/split.

For example 52 week high of Rallis is:

On BSE - 1,225.00
On NSE - 1722.25

Shouldn't the NSE have adjusted the price, to reflect the recent bonus? .

I don't think it is right to adjust historical data for bonus/split etc.

The exchanges should be reporting the data as it was.

Adjusting data for technical charts is a different thing. Supply and demand also change with bonus/split and therefore the historical data for charts needs to be adjusted.

There are quite a few complaints about not being able to connect to the BSE site. I wonder if it has to do with results season.

These last few days, whenever I have tried to check quote's on BSE site, all that I have been seeing is:

"Thank you for visiting the BSE Plus website."

And they have the following below their logo:

The edge is efficiency .

Results or no results, they should upgrade their web infrastructure, instead of crying foul about NSE eating into their share.

Thank goodness they didn't say, "Our edge is efficiency".

I had kept "stock watches" at NSE (My NSE), but that too turned out to be quite unreliable.

The BSE site has a feedback link:

http://www.bseindia.com/feedback/feedbackbseinfo.asp

It maybe futile, but I think we should complain! Who knows!

I got the link at the bottom of this page:

Now you know vasa @ why I did not like to visit BSE that much .

This site always have problem.

But sometime no choice have to visit. .

I have been seeing since many years.

Happy investing and trading

I had provided the feedback through the "feedback star rating" feature that is seen on every quote page (top right corner).

I'll submit my feedback at your link as well.

[vasa1]

A few days ago I seem to remember seeing a link to a survey on the NSE site. Since it was quite lengthy, I thought I'd get back later but now I don't see it! Anyone knows where it's gone to?

The survey wanted to know a lot of things, such as the browser you use, the NSE links you visit, etc.

[vasa1]

This link gives the impression that the BSE site is now browser-agnostic ... except for this:
