With the knowledge of the content of your files it is easier to

If expressions in `temp' contain spaces, they will be broken; this
would be better:
 while read trv; do
   ....
 done < temp


>                grep $trv stock/nsedata/2008/05/20080512.txt >> lstock

$trv should be quoted, like this:
  grep "$trv" ...
