Know before investing in shares

Kathmandu, December 22:

Capital market, which was considered not newsworthy a couple of years back, has recently been in news regularly. People have taken this investment opportunity wholeheartedly propelling Nepse up to its maximum in comparison to size of our market.

The investors, due to less investment opportunities, have found it more lucrative. But the apex regulatory body, Securities Board of Nepal and front-line regulator and secondary market, Nepse, time to time issue notices warning investors to be more aware before putting their hard-earned money on any companies.

The abnormal behaviour of Nepse calls for more awareness among the investors and what could be a better idea than to publish a book on stock market and its nitty-gritty. Rabindra Bhattarai, a lecturer at Shankerdev Campus and trainer of share market has come up with a book Nepalko Share Bazar. The testimony of the book’s popularity is that in a short time, the author is forced to publish its updated third edition. Afterall, its a Bible to the investors.

The author being a lecturer of finance has explained — in 19 chapters — capital market’s modus operandi like how share price rises and falls, acts and laws related to capital market and relation between capital market and monetary policy, in a plain language. The book also has a glossary section, which is very useful to the students and investors alike.

Bhattarai, who has other books like Investments: Theory and Practice and Corporate Financial Management to his credit is bringing another book Share Markets: Some queries in the future.
