    Primary Market

    Sell (float) new stocks and bonds to the public for the first time. In the

    primary market the security is purchased directly from the issuer. A primary

    market is a financial market in which new issues of financial securities (both

    bonds and stocks) are sold to initial buyers.

    Secondary Market

    Secondary market is where investors trade among themselves. An

    investor purchases a security from another investor rather than the

    issuer. Auction market forms a part of this market. A secondary

    market is one in which securities that have been previously issued

    can be resold.

    Primary markets facilitate new financing to corporations, but most of

    the trading takes place in the secondary markets.

    Which is better investment? it totally depends on where you are in life andwhat your tolerance for risk is.

    Id rather own something for a period of years in hope for growth, then lendsomebody $20 and know Im getting $25 back in 5 years. Thus, I wouldprobably consider myself more of a stock investor.

    However, the bondholder may very well feel safer and more secure with

    his/her investment choice. The ideal long-term portfolio would probablyhave a little bit of each.

    Equity Market: In Equity market we buy shares instead of certificates. Theseshares makes us a proportionate owner of the company of which we buyshares. Here also we lend money to the companies but like a owner. Ifcompanies makes profit we gain interest and if the companies makes loss

    we loose money.

    In short you can say in DEBT MARKET investment is very safe but giveslow but fixed returns. In EQUITY MARKET investment is linked with a riskbut when market if good given a much better returns than DEBT schemes.

They issue securities/certificatesagainst which we lend them money against a chargeable interest.

    Mainly in Debt market we lend money in the form of DEBT. The interestpromised by companies, banks, government here is secured.

    Some Story.

    The name bankderives from the Italian word banco"desk/bench", usedduring the Renaissance by Florentine bankers, who used to make theirtransactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth. However,traces of banking activity can be found even in ancient times.

    In fact, the word traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire,where moneylenders would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed

    courtyards called macellaon a long bench called a bancu, from whichthe words bancoand bankare derived. As a moneychanger, themerchant at the bancudid not so much invest money as merely convertthe foreign currency into the only legal tender in Rome- that of theImperial Mint

    More Facts

    Where do banks get the money to lend?

    They get it from all the people who open savings and other typesof accounts. Banks act as a go between the people who saveand people who need to borrow.

    If savers didn't put their money in banks, the banks would havelittle or no money to lend.

    18/4518

    More Facts

    Your savings are combined with everyone else's savings to form abig pool of money.

    The bank uses that pool of money to make loans. The money doesn'tbelong to the bank's president, board of directors, or stockholders.It belongs to the depositors.

    That's why banks have a special obligation not to take big risks whenthey make loans.

    Terms

    An unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a corporation, typicallyfor the financing of accounts receivable, inventories and meeting short-termliabilities. Maturities on commercial paper rarely range any longer than 270days. The debt is usually issued at a discount, reflecting prevailing marketinterest rates. A major benefit of commercial paper is that it does not need to be registered with

    the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as long as it matures before ninemonths (270 days), making it a very cost-effective means of financing. Theproceeds from this type of financing can only be used on current assets

    (inventories) and are not allowed to be used on fixed assets,

    The working capital requirement of business firms is provided by banksthrough cash-credits / overdraft and purchase/discounting of commercialbills. Commercial bill is a short term, negotiable, and self-liquidatinginstrument with low risk. It enhances he liability to make payment in a fixeddate when goods are bought on credit.

    Treasury Bills: A short-term debt obligation backed by the U.S. governmentwith a maturity of less than one year. The purchase price is less than theface value. At maturity the government pays the Treasury Bill holder the fullface value. The Treasury Bills are marketable, affordable and risk free. Thesecurity attached to the treasury bills comes at the cost of very low returns.

    Money Market instruments

    Certificate of Deposit: The certificates of deposit are basically time deposits that are issued by thecommercial banks with maturity periods ranging from 3 months to five years. The return on thecertificate of deposit is higher than the Treasury Bills because it assumes a higher level of risk.

    Commercial Paper: Commercial Paper is short-term loan that is issued by a corporation use forfinancing accounts receivable and inventories. Commercial Papers have higher denominations ascompared to the Treasury Bills and the Certificate of Deposit. The maturity period of CommercialPapers are a maximum of 9 months. They are very safe since the financial situation of the corporationcan be anticipated over a few months

    Banker's Acceptance: It is a short-term credit investment. It is guaranteed by a bank to makepayments. The Banker's Acceptance is traded in the Secondary market. The banker's acceptance ismostly used to finance exports, imports and other transactions in goods. The banker's acceptanceneed not be held till the maturity date but the holder has the option to sell it off in the secondarymarket whenever he finds it suitable.

    Euro Dollars: The Eurodollars are basically dollar- denominated deposits that are held in banksoutside the United States. Since the Eurodollar market is free from any stringent regulations, thebanks can operate at narrower margins as compared to the banks in U.S. The Eurodollars are tradedat very high denominations and mature before six months. The Eurodollar market is within the reachof large institutions only and individual investors can access it only through money market funds.

    Repos: The Repo or the repurchase agreement is used by the government security holder when hesells the security to a lender and promises to repurchase from him overnight. Hence the Repos haveterms raging from 1 night to 30 days. They are very safe due government backing.

    Repo Rate

    A repo or Repurchase Agreement is an instrument of money market. Usuallyreserve bank (RBI) and commercial banks involve in repo transactions but not

    restricted to these two. Individuals, banks, financial institutes can alsoparticipate in repurchase.

    Repo is a collateralized lending i.e. the banks which borrow money from Reserve Bankto meet short term needs have to sell securities, usually bonds to Reserve Bank withan agreement to repurchase the same at a predetermined rate and date.

    The party who originally buys the securities effectively acts as a lender (RBI).

    The original seller is effectively acting as a borrower, using their security ascollateral for a secured cash loan at a fixed rate of interest (BANK).

    Borrower of funds is called as seller of repo and lender of funds is called asbuyer of repo. When the term of the loan is for one day it is known as anovernight repo and if it is for more than one day it is called a Term Repo .

    Reverse Repo

    CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio): Cash reserve Ratio (CRR) is the amount of Cash (liquid cashlike gold) that the banks have to keep with RBI. This Ratio is basically to secure solvencyof the bank and to drain out the excessive money from the banks. If RBI decides toincrease the percent of this, the available amount with the banks comes down and if RBI

    reduce the CRR then available amount with Banks increased and they are able to lendmore.

    Repo Rate: Repo rate is the rate at which our banks borrow rupees from RBI. This facilityis for short term measure and to fill gaps between demand and supply of money in a bank.when a bank is short of funds they borrow from bank at repo rate and if bank has asurplus fund then the deposit the funds with RBI and earn at Reverse repo rate.

    Reverse Repo rate is the rate which is paid by RBI to banks on Deposit of funds with

    RBI.A reduction in the repo rate will help banks to get money at a cheaper rate. When therepo rate increases borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive. To borrow from RBI,bank have to submit liquid bonds /Govt Bonds as collateral security ,so this facility is ashort term gap filling facility and bank does not use this facility to Lend more to theircustomers. present rate is 3.25 as on 29.01.2010)

    SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) is the amount a commercial bank needs to maintain in theform of cash, or gold or govt. approved securities (Bonds) before providing credit to itscustomers. SLR rate is determined and maintained by the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) in

    order to control the expansion of bank credit. Generally this mandatory ration is compliedby investing in Govt bonds. present rate of SLR is 24 %.(as on 29.01.2010)But Banksaverage is 27.5 %, the reason behind it is that in deficit Budgeting ,Govt lending is moreso they borrow money from banks by selling their bonds to banks. so banks haveinvested more than required percentage and use these excess bonds as collateralsecurity (over and above SLR) to avail short term Funds from the RBI at Repo rate.

    Money A view

    MONEY IS WEALTH..

    The key thing to remember is that wealth is not money.

    money is only one of many forms of wealth, it has plenty of substitutes. The interaction between money and its substitutes explain why the demand for

    money changes.

    People hold money because money has purchasing power and thepurchasing power of money is determined by the supply of, anddemand for, money.

    If a rise in the money supply is accompanied by an equal rise in moneydemand, overall prices and the purchasing power of money remainunchanged. Tooooo optimistic a view..

    DEMAND FOR MONEY IS INFINITE

    Demand for Money

    The demand for money is the desired holding of financial assets in theform of money: that is, cash or bank deposits.

    The demand for money is a result of the form in which a person's wealthshould be held

    motivations for holding one's wealth in the form of money:

    Transaction motive Asset Motive

    Two Advantages of Holding Money

    the liquidity advantage (carry out transactions) of holding money and the interest advantage of holding other assets

    Demand for money is defined as the nominal amount of moneydemanded divided by the price level

    where Mdis the nominal amount of money demanded,

    Pis the price level,

    Ris the nominal interest rate, Yis real output, and

    L(R,Y) is the liquidity preference function.

    Quantity Theory: The most basic "classical" transaction motive can be illustratedwith reference to the Quantity Theory of Money.

    According to the equation of exchange MV= PY, where M is the stock of money, V is its velocity (how many times a unit of money turns over during a period of time), P is the price level and Y is real income. Consequently PY is nominal income or in other

    words the number of transactions carried out in an economy during a period of time.Rearranging the above identity and giving it a behavioral interpretation as a demand formoney we have

    Hence in this simple formulation demand for money is a function of prices andincome, as long as its velocity is constant.

    Money Demand Function

    while workers may get paid only once a month they generally will wishto make purchases, and hence need money, over the course of theentire month. an economic model that is based on such considerationsis the Baumol-Tobin model. In this model an individual receives herincome periodically, for example, only once per month, but wishes tomake purchases continuously.

    Micro foundations for money demand

    Asset motive: The asset motive treats money, focuses on the potential return on variousassets (including money) as an additional motivation

    Speculative motive Portfolio motive: hold the wealth in a form of a low risk/low return asset (here, money) or

    high risk/high return asset (bonds or equity).

    where t is the cost of a trip to the bank, R is the nominal interest rate and P and Y are as before.

    Factors which can change the demand for money

    Interest Rates: Two important stores of wealth are bonds and money, these are substitute to oneself. afall in interest rates cause the demand for money to rise.

    Consumer Spending: if the demand for consumer spending increases, so will the demand formoney.

    Precautionary Motives: If people think that they will suddenly need to buy things in the immediatefuture (say it's 1999 and they're worried about Y2K), they will sell bonds and stocks and hold onto money, so

    the demand for money will go up

    Transaction Costs for Stocks and Bonds: If it becomes difficult or expensive to quickly buyand sell stocks and bonds, they will be less desirable. People will want to hold more of their wealth in the form

    of money, so the demand for money will rise.

    Change in the General Level of Prices: If we have inflation, goods become more expensive,so the demand for money rises.

    International Factors:

    An increase in the demand of that country's goods abroad. An increase in the demand for domestic investment by foreigners. The belief that the value of the currency will rise in the future. A central banking wanting to increase its holdings of that currency.
