STOCK MARKET TIMING

A stock market is perceived to be efficient and functioning well when the number of participants in the market is large enough and the knowledge level of the market participants is relatively high. The increasing number of market participants or investors in the market makes it deep, and the stock market, in such a case, can be rightfully claimed to reflect the economy of a country.

In order that the market reaches the average investor, thanks to the advancement in telecommunications and technological innovations, the stock market regulators should provide more and more outlets or terminals for trading. While they need not go out and do the marketing for stock market operations, it is sufficient that efficient and effective systems are put in place for the investors to take advantage of the market.

Transparency in the market is very essential and the stock market regulators need to ensure that all relevant data related to market performance is emanated to the investors or market participants in a timely manner.

As online trading has become the order of the day and the existence of virtual stock markets has become a reality in many cases, the terminals provided for the investors to take advantage of should be reliable, trustworthy and fast enough. The systems put up in place should be fool-proof and should be capable of handling the ever-increasing traffic during the trading hours, or literally round the clock, as the barriers of time and distance have been lifted totally by the technological advancements.

It is not only sufficient that speed, transparent and efficient systems are put in place at every possible place for the investors to take advantage of and participate. The entry barriers for participating in the stock market such as membership fees, and minimum requirements for stock purchase and sales with regard to investment should also be made competitive and lucrative enough for the investors to take part and prosper.

Once the basic necessities are taken care of, and adequate transparency and security is ensured, there is no separate requirement for marketing about the stock market among the people and the people, having the capability to invest in stock market, will flock the terminals or get one and start participating in the market activities.
