Most of the research studies had concluded that Indian stock market is highly volatile, sensitive, reactive to news and unanticipated shocks. This instantly has an impact on the market trend activities, but it resilient and recovers soon. The investor aims for high returns on the investment, and experience a high risk . Since the direction of market is unpredictable and lack of knowledge for the success factors, leads to fear on investing in stock market. Practically the risk and returns are directly proportional. However the risk-return perceptions of the investor may vary.
