Where do I start learning about share market? I am completely novice and dont know anything about share market.

 I won’t go into great depth here, but the following terms are some of the most common.

1. Earning per share : The amount of profit to which each share is entitled.
2. Going Public: Slang for when a company is planning an IPO.
3. IPO: Short for Initial Public Offering. An IPO is when a company sells stock in itself for the first time.
4. Market Cap: The amount of money you would have to pay if you bought every single share of stock in a company.
5. (To calculate market cap multiply the number of shares by the price per share.) Short for Market Capitalization.
6. Share: A share, or a single common stock, represents an investor’s ownership in a "share" of the profits, losses, and assets of a company. It is created when a business carves itself into pieces and sells them to investors in exchange for cash.
7. Ticker symbol A short group of letters that represents a particular stock (e.g., state bank of india has a ticker symbol of "SBI", "bharat petroleum corporate " has a ticker symbol of "BPCL")
8. Underwriter: The financial institution or investment bank that is doing all of the paperwork and orchestrating a company’s IPO.

The stock market can be a great source of confusion for many people.

The average person generally falls into one of two categories. The first believe investing is a form of gambling;

they are certain that if you invest, you will more than likely end up losing your money.

Often these fears are driven by the personal experiences of family members and friends who suffered similar fates or lived through the Great Depression.

These feelings are not grounded in facts. Someone who believes along this line of thinking simply doesn’t understand what the stock market is or why it exists.

The second category consists of those who know they should invest for the long-run, but don’t know where to begin.

Many feel like investing is some sort of black magic that only a few people know how to use.

More often than not, they leave their financial decisions up to professionals and cannot tell you why they own a particular stock or mutual funds.

Their investment style is blind faith or limited to “This stock is going up... we should buy it." Though it may not seem like it on the surface, this group is in far more danger than the first.
