'Beware of fake stock news'

Actually 'seeking alpha' is a pretty popular website for US stocks news/research.

If this is the case in US, dont even want to start talking about our news websites here

Some more charts...as someone said, for every Infy there are 10 losers. This is where i lack the skill to select. Even if i manage to select a basket of stocks(good and bad apples), am not able to hold the best stock to reap the max benefits. Am getting stuck when the best stock does not move much 3-4 years and worst stocks keeps losing in that period. Maybe, am alone in this boat

I believe there should be a SL even for investment but not sure where to put it (some say 25%..other say 50% ). Even great stocks get beaten badly once or twice in their cycle (or at-least stay dormant for years). This one question always lingers my mind. So, never ventured into individual stocks but rely on MF.

Shilpi Cable was one of the constituents of "Magic Formula" portfolio of SMALLCASE. It was trading around 240 at that time. When it's fall started they conveniently removed it from their portfolio.

Yes. i also noticed that in smallcase. BTW, i was posting some charts(including shilpi) and someone mentioned it :lol:

On a serious note, many of my friend left stock market because of these stocks. And many come into stock market reading great returns from the movers in newspapers...and the cycle continues

look at the chart..its actually ugly Financial newspapers never talk about the darkside of the market.

Look for any company in Debt Trap (Interest burden more than Earnings before, tax, depreciation and amortization)


Sooner or later you will see a graph like this ......

All in all it comes a question of scrip selection.

Fine, leave it to the professionals - the fund managers.

Now one is left with the question of fund selection

It was easy when there were only few funds on the scene ....

Now selecting a fund is no small job than selecting a stock .....

Large part of MF space is going to under-perform the index
