What are the most active stocks in the Indian stock market and how is it normally measured in the Indian context?
Answer
Answer
Active stocks are the stocks that show the maximum trading activity. You can either see active stocks in terms of number of shares traded or the value of shares traded. Normally number of shares is good but it will include too many small companies that are speculative. Hence value gives a better idea.
