Trading sites & Analysis:
ICIICIdirect
- The site which is the place you go for online trading is also a source of
comprehensive information with regards to investing. They compile a lot of
information both real time and historic. 'Mega movers', 'Super Movers',
'Pick of the Week', 'Stocks on the Move' are some interesting sections. They
are also a source for market related news. However news is not their prime
focus as they are trading portals.

Indiabulls
-
"Indiabulls is India’s leading Financial Services and Real Estate company
having presence over 414 locations in more than 124 cities" according to
their
website. Indiabulls.com
HDFC Securities
-
HDFC is the well known bank, competitor of ICICI in a big way. However
their portal is a goldmine of information. Their trading features are not as
good as ICICIs in my opinion. For example, while with ICICI you can buy
shares immediately after some have been sold, you cant do so with HDFC as of
now. However, HDFC has a very user friendly and simple portal. Information
can be more easily accessed in some areas of the site. Profile of the
organisation, charts, etc are some of the useful info on their site. hdfcsec.com
