Preface

Stock market is a sensitive place and influenced by multiple factors. Therefore, forecasts about future movement are often far from accurate.

Curiosity of investors about the stock market is increasing day by day. Therefore, there may be many questions that include : how does the Nepalese stock market operate? how did the market do last week or month or year? why did the market go up or down? what are the rules and regulations followed in the Nepalese market? which are the new companies listed in the Nepal stock exchange"' what arc the deficiencies in the market and what may be the possible solution for such deficiencies? Such questions frequently come up in the mind of rational investors, prospective investors, students, teachers and researchers. To address such queries and make people aware through a reading of past activities of Nepalese stock market, I have compiled these articles which include timely information and which were published in different business magazines, journals, newspapers etc.

All the articles in this book have been compiled with express permission from the respective editors and writers.

Shrestha, Mr. Krishna Prasad Shrestha, Mr. Jeevan Basnet, Mr. Santosh Pandey, Mr. Dhruba Timilsina and Mr. Jit Bahadur Adhikari whose expert and insightful articles have made their way into this book.
