Sell........Sell..........Sell...... There is no value for shares API manufacturers. Uncertain business. If you can take some risk and want to ride some operator action, then you can hold for 2-3 days(See whether this follows thinksoft trend). Discl: I dont have astec shares.
Cheap stocks becomes more cheap and expensive stocks become further expensive.
Just because you pick-up value stocks, it does not guarantee safety. Stock market, by its nature itself is risky whether you buy value stocks or growth stocks. At investors cash comfortable level, stop-loss is required.
To 89. Ravi, You are correct. But it is not my job to suggest when DLF etc stocks makes new highs. Because I dont invest based on their ability ot make new highs. I invests if a stock is available at reasonable PE. Some stocks may trade at high PE(since stocks valued with p/book, PEG, EV/mCap etc). But when more more stocks list from the same sector, people go for PE comparison... otr atleast that is what I do.... I may miss some good growth stocks, but in bad times my loss also limited!!!! from my investing strategy I will remain breakeven till sensex level of 11800. So that is fine with me and is suitable for my risk profile
Investment in stock market by nature itself is risky. However, what deterrs is huge volatility. Scam tainted / Operators stock lose 90% or more.
If any fundamental value is there & SEBI is alert (Exchanges are equipped with functional stock watch systems), it can prevent such volatility.
SEBI can restict block money flowing to market (SEBI / RBI have experitse & tools to verify fund-flow).
'A' Group companies falling more than 75% is a failure of regulator.
Investors also should be vary. Investors should not apply to high PE multiple IPOs. They should not chase stocks at high PE multiple in secondary market. To manage market risk, stop-loss is necesssary.
Eg: Had any investor not put stop-loss, it is tough to imagine when Satyam would hit new high! Even can you tell when frontline stocks like DLF, Unitech would cross their respective new highs? Even long-term investors lose money.
To Ravi, 87: Eventhough your points looks reasonable, it is difficult to practise. SEBI cannot watch each script everyday. that is why A, B, Z, T etc stock catogories aree there, also associated circuit filters. Investors has to take due care before trading. Because stock market is part of free capital market. So risk will always be very high. No risk..means one have to go for bank fixed deposits. After reading your views it appears that after IPO, share price should not go below issue price or shouldnot go above issue price!!!!
Chithorgarh staff should remove mesages like No 86, which is simply waste of time. Nobody snatched money from us. It is WE who have taken risk and applied for IPO's like NHPC. Nobody else can be blame for that.... To Chithorgarh staff..... Please REMOVE JUNK MESSAGES.
