Was there any provision for bailouts in the fraudlent of a company engaged in capital markets?
Now a fallout can deepen the current aspect of a dramatic global downturn to more fierce unwanted unemployment for plenty of citizens relying on this s3ector for bread and butter.This can be a political turn in order to artificially settle the situation.

Is the current scam of Satyam computers symbolic of SEBI's laxity in terms of rules governing capital markets scenario in India?
Even because of our stringent policies towards every sector,the escape by any company in terms of a scam was like a slap on our face.
Are these issues of insecurity among our country people over the flows of money forming a cloud of unhealthy pratices?
The future midcaps and small caps position can be the most hurt by these vulnerability faed shareholders of satyam.We are still not able to form a framework governing our country's rigidity in terms of progress without any fallouts.
This is the high time where the political and global issues need to be intergrated well with our citizens perspective.If this cant be the possibility then we can face another downstream may be in some sectors or politcally.

The global economic downturn has now taken geo-political impact.The political upsurgency brought about in south east asian countries due to security tensions are creating more hazardous impact on the economically depressed economies.Diplomatic war of words have urged an unwanted situation for a war.In order to protect our economic position ,we require a strong motivation to improve all our basics well.But due to certain global political factors we are forgetting our main goal of economic sustainability.The sub prime crisis resulting in certain downsizing of other economic conditions have made our exchanges more vulnurable . Th e confidence among investors is already so low.With more political tensions intruding into the figure can make things even more unwanted.So the dire need of the hour is to settle all political and start working for our economy as a whole.From this we shouldn't ignore the security concerns for our country people rather we should form form a collective policy which should govern the rights and benefits for our people.

Is it significant enough?
P/E leading ration defines price of a stock with respect to its expected earnings.So high P/E ratio is always a very good indicator for a buy position of the stock.
But signifance level of the P/E ratio can always be doubted but we can always mix number of stratergies to derive at final estimations different from other similar traders ruling this world of trading.Its a theoritical concept whose application can be doubted .
I m just explaining the concepts of some crucial terms that works in financial markets.
THERE IS STRICTLY NO INDICATION TO FOLLOW THESE ACTIVITIES.NO RESPONSIBILITIES AGAINST ANYONE.Everthing is theoritical concepts based on some practical facts in lay man language.
Are options traded inthe market offer as a free lunch to the customers??
Because we dont have to pay for the losses for the stock and if this situation arises we just incurr a loss of our premium, and when we earn capital gains we are eligible for the profits derived fro the deal.
CERTAINLY NOT because call option pricing is based on the volatility ,exercise price,returns on stock ,underlying assets,strike price.So after taking every factor into pricing stock options takes away all the free lunches and even if any arbitrage oppurtunity available those are taken up by the market scavengers(techincal analysts.)
Options can be very useful for hedging one's position unwanted fall in underlying assest prices.
Our stocks are always correlated to our main market index .But how much effect of stock market index can be applied to the stocks is the main query.If this information is available then it will be free lunch for everyone living in this world and will never face money crisis because of so many free lunches available in this world.But this is not the case .In a market if everyone knows a particular model then it is useless to work on that model because oppurtunities must already be exhausted and no more money could be earned(rather lost).
So a simple model can explain returns on market index by a stock that is forming relationship btw stock and the index.like if an index move by a 1 unit our stock moves by 0.5 unit.this is the degree of responisiveness of our stock whereas if market goes up our stock goes up as well.
so in turn we formed a relationship which is with the flow of market index and ouur stocks move by 50% in value.(assumption).
Now we know that if stock selling at some particular index then we can make out the price of our stocks.But the main point here is to identify the bullish or bearish state of markets .If we dont know that then its not possible to make profits anyways.
So still our positioned is hedged (safe)only half way . now with the help of some technical analysis explained below we can make out bullish and bearish phase. and hence to some extent our investments are more secured.
There are lots of models for regressing the index variables with stock variables like CAPM,APT,FAMA FRENCH,ETC.
now regressing some part of market returns and calculating the risk assoiated to that factor invstments we can make out some proportions of our future earnings on our investments.

how are trading techniques defined in financial markets?
