Well this is not the first time that members have acknowledged their failings , nor will it be the last one.Prior to this we had one member called Baron who predicted that SENSEX would go below 7500 when it was aiming 12671 , the highest in May 2006 just before crash. Angry posts after posts followed.Language become so hot that several posts had to be removed. I had then pointed out that it is possible in some circumstances including Nuclear war. Few days back somewhat similar reasons were given by someone here.
In fact AMITBE and Saint would certainly recall events/posts following which Baron was banned. I did say that there is a possibility of sensex going to 10000, but 7500 was not possible in a timeframe even then.
Few days after his banning, SENSEX crashed out of blue. Stunned. no further analysis. Posts dried up. Business Line stopped giving any analysis for months. Then one person joined recently. His tone was much humble and respectful, but analysed that sensex would go to 7500. I did contest at that time and recognised the person as BARON. I had welcomed him. now members were willing to give a patient hearing. I started posts in Crash of 2006 and FII activities. It was naive attempt as mood was quite negative and none would believe that it would scale further heights.
It so happened that SENSEX did not go to 7500 and it did climb 21000, though from 17000 , I believed that it is ripe for correction. The higher it goes deeper would be correction. Had it corrected from 17000-18000, it would have stopped at around 12561. But as it went higher I thought it might correct to 10000 or so may be 8900/9500.
But again 7500 is a tough target for sensex. I may be wrong in that case I seek advance apology. Nothing is that much certain.
BTW the BARON is our much respected CZAR. He did say that sensex would jump to 20000 when I persisted and also predicted that it would correct severely, much much before any one had inkling. I respect his opinion very much . AMITBE also acknowledged that he was wrong in opposing BARON a.k.a czar but right in not accepting his languages. We had same position. Czar has learnt and come out very dignified and respected member.
So if I am humbled, I would accept it now itself. But your timeline should be clear. I am sure it would not do so at least in this correction.
Base formation is around 10000.
