well i have invested in two stocks ABB and DLF. well i just told the broker to invest in DLF. DLF is listed in both NSE and BSE. the stock price of DLF at which he bought was 646.(something). how do i konw that the stock price has increased? just explain me when the stock prices are updated. sometimes in the ticker in the TV. it says up arrow 46.40 or suddenly the next minute it is down arrow 3.80 but the stock price remains the same. how do i know if the stock price increased or decreased. and sometimes, the stock DLF is not displayed in the TV ticker at all...only sometimes they show. that is not the case with ABB...they display its stock price everytime. just tell me how can i know if the stock price has increased. ..? the up arrow increases but the stock value remains the same..

I think you are misreading those tickers. Moving 3.80 on 46 sounds like a big move.
For the other stock , if there are no trades the stock might not be listed on the ticker.
Can you monitor the stocks online, that is better info.

If you access to a TV which I do believe you have, watch the moving strip showing latest (even these are about one or two minutes old) and may not reflect the current position. In sanskrit, pal means 24 seconds, and even in less than that a heavily traded script like DLF may be up or down by several rupees. It is best for a person like you to go to the office of your broker, sit before the TV terminal screen, and watch the movements for at least one ghadi(ghati) which 24 minutes to understand the phenomenon. It has actually hgappened that when you put in a bid to sell a stock like 50 DLF shares at 6l6, by the time it reaches the networl (which is very fast) that it may actually sell at 6l8. It can be explained, as it is to be seen and believed. 0ut of the above example, l or 2 may sell at 6l6, and the rest for 6l8. It happens how and why I do not think today you can realise as you seem to be sans experience. Sio, do whay is suggested herein to get a first-hand account of what actually happens in real life.

it looks like u a not a very active investor. it will better for u to see the rates in Hindustan times,economics times etc every day. first get used to that and then proceed futher. If the arrow is up it means the rate is more than yesterdays closing rate and if the arrow show down the rate is less than yesterdays closing.

Clearly you have a Yahoo! account...just go to the finance section and enter your ABB or DLF and you should be able to see it....

"Investing for Dummies" a very good book that will take you through the basics. Your library may have. If not your book store for under $20. Or Amazon.
