Sensex Review

Here's the list of 30 scrips which form the Sensex. The purpose of noting them here is to be able to review each stock and learn why they are part of the sensex. And it tells me that one may not profit from the booming sensex if his/her investments are not in the right scrips. Investment bankers may be scoffing at this elementary post, but it's a learning process for me.

SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100.
