Nifty 50 stocks - know annual return, and book profit in 2024-25.

Introduction: In my last blog on the Indian Stock Market, I explained the basic facts about the market for beginners. I also mentioned the unique technique of short-term trading for people who have very little knowledge about the market. Readers, who are required or interested to know about that, please go through that blog. Here, we will move further, and discuss the annual return (2023-24) of Nifty 50 stocks. After acquiring  the knowledge regarding the Nifty 50 stocks, you will be able to earn more profit. So, let us start here:

In the Indian Stock Market, There are two main exchanges: the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Listing of the company and trading of shares are carried out through these two exchanges. Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was established in 1875 in Bombay (Bombay is renamed now Mumbai), India. It is one of the oldest and largest exchanges in the world. Presently, BSE is dealing with a capitalization nearing US$5 Trillion. The total number of listed companies including other entities is around 5200. Other entities mean other than the equity (cash) market. For example - Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), Debt fund, etc.   The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has been operational in Mumbai (India) since 1994. It is also one of the largest stock exchanges in the world and deals with a capitalization likely to touch US$5 trillion. Roughly more than 2200 companies are listed in the NSE. Both the exchanges (NSE and BSE) have national importance.  The listed companies and other entities available for trade are grouped under various categories in both exchanges. Here we will go ahead with the categories of companies listed in NSE.  The performance of the companies listed in one group is shown by the average moving performance of all companies within the group and is termed an Index value. In this way, various groups have their indexes and moving values. The plural forms of index are Indexes or Indices and both forms of the plural are used frequently. The Prefix word NIFTY is used for an index for the companies listed in NSE. Actually Nifty is the combination of two words ( NSE + FIFTY = NIFTY). It indicates the index of top 50 large cap companies listed on NSE. The name NIFTY 50 to NIFTY index is given to differentiate it from other indexes like Nifty 100, Nifty 500 etc. Nifty 100 is a group of 100 top large cap companies by market capitalization which are listed on the NSE. Nifty IT  is a group of 10 top IT companies by market capitalization which are listed on the NSE. Nifty Metal is a group of 15 top metal companies by market capitalization which are listed on the NSE. In this way, several indexes are formed for NSE-listed companies and entities. Now we will focus here on the NIFTY 50 index. As we mentioned earlier it is the group of top 50 large-cap companies based on market capitalization value. In general terms, when we say that the market on NSE  is moving up or down it means that Nifty 50 is moving up or down respectively. So it is a leading indication of market mood. The companies included in the NIFTY 50 index at the end of March 2024 are placed rank wise in the below table. However, it should be kept in mind that the ranking of the companies are based on market capitalization and other factors. Inclusion and exclusion of companies in the index  is carried out from time to time based on the moving stock value etc. Therefore to know about the status of a company on a particular date, you may refer to NSE or other concerned websites.

4th Observation: Out of 50, following 11 companies listed in the NIFTY50 index  have given more than 10% prfoit + more than 1% Dividend ( 1% dividend roughly calculated on current share price)  by the companies listed in the NIFTY50 index for the F.Y. 2023-24:

10	Bajaj Auto Limited (BAJAJ-AUTO)	132% Profit	1.54%
11	State Bank of India (SBIN)	43% profit	1.36%
Comments: 1.   I would like  to invest in these companies subject to change in the company performance and market  conditions at the time of investment. 2. As such, I will not like to give too much weightage to the dividend paid, because on an annual basis, 1 or 2% dividend may be compensated by high return due to change in the share price. 3. However, the dividend paid may be considered as an extra benefit to subsidize the loss, if any.

When and how should we buy the stocks? Always purchase When the market is bearish. Bearish means a minimum of 4% down from the last day's close price of stock. The minimum investment should be around Indian Rs. 5000/. For details go through my first blog on wealth on this website. When  should we sell the stocks? When the market is bullish. Bullish means minimum 2.5% for trading purposes.  Bullish means when you are in need of money. Bullish means as per your goal.

Summary: As  I have explained earlier, the top 50 large cap companies are selected in the NIFTY 50 index. These  are the biggest companies listed on NSE.   These companies are capable of recovering the negative impact. Probability of negative return from these companies are less compared to other mid cap or small cap companies. It has also been observed in the last financial year 2023-24 that out of 50 companies listed in Nifty50 index, only 03 companies have given negative return (loss) and only 03 companies have given less than 10% annual return (profit). It means 44 companies have given an annual return (profit) more than10%. Dividend paid by the companies  is an extra benefit to subsidize the loss if any. NIFTY50 stocks are safe and better than fixed deposit schemes for the general public who are not experts in the stock market. One thing is very important here is that  the investors or traders should be required to regularly watch  the  business TV channels or  go through the trusted websites to update themselves about market conditions. We should use the services of only trusted demat account providing platforms. Please don't invest or trade on the basis of rumors, untrusted messages, communication etc. Before investing the huge amount in a company, take the latest update from a trusted source of news and cross check also regarding the latest position of the company.   How much amount should we invest at first attempt or later on in a company? Please go through my first  article (blog) on this website.
