The volume and number of transactions in the market of Stock Exchange is the barometer of the economy of a modern country. Although we are a developing country we have two houses ( Dhaka and Chittagong ) and we see an increasing trend of the people towards this 'paper' market. Like other commodities, the two economic factors 'demand' and 'supply' fix the price of any share. But there are some cunning influential men who can raise the prices of a particular share artificially. We observed such an unbelievable increased index during the last regime of AL. At last the artificial market collapsed and thus thousands of small and middle class investors lost their everything. Playing from behind the scene, the price manipulators succeeded in gaining crores of taka. In our share market there is acute shortage of shares of good and dependable companies. It is a very good sign that the number one mobile operator Grameen Phone has stepped into this market. For making our economy stronger other reputable govt, semi-govt, autonomous, foreign and private organisations should come forward to download their shares for the public.
