Even the best analyst on the TVShows puts a very brave face while predicting the trends.What a bunch of fools! I watch them whenever I want to relax like watching a comedy show. It never gave any serious idea of what should be done, as far as retain investors are supposed to do.It is funny that they will follow the Sensex Curve, euphoric or not.Whatever they do, they just recommend a scrip or the other which will never behave as per their predictions. Did you observed BHEL? How many of the analysts predicted that it can go down to 1600? Two Months ago everyone was talking about 3000 levels for BHEL .And One more joke they play is "investors are advised only to enter with a long term perspective". Once Udayan Mukherjee was openly admiting that he holds no scripts, but if he is an investor, he will go and shop for some blue chip Cos when the Sensex was 18000 levels. I don't know what he will be suggesting these days. Then there is a regular feature of anlysts predicting this and that but only exchanging words. That they suggest Supports as well as Resistances but neither will work out for the scrips they mention. Again take the case of BHEL they said(Even Karvy recommended)it is a buy at 2000 levels and it has support at 1800. But it gone down to 1600 levels...... It is really funny that they call them ANALYSTS

Then they call it Research. Even the people who promoted Mutual Funds are now dumb, really dumb with what the January levels to compare with and the present position. Do you know what they will say now? All equity diversified funds have not performed well in the First Quarter, we have to wait and see how they will behave in the next quarter. This is the kind of Research.Forget it.Now they asay even MFs are not safe. They will promote ETFs, Debt Funds.... But once they show their (in)Capability to meet the expectations, then they say after all the inflation is too high, that is the reason why.....

It is very simple, someone already suggested this on rediff. 1. You can't predict any behaviour of any scrip as exactly as it goes. 2. You should overcome the greed for more returns within short period. 3. Even the SIP route boasted by many Financial wizards will not wor out because of reason 1 mentioned above. 4. Your fund manager is not a demi-God, or nicknamed Midaas, to make your 100 bucks into 1000, overnight. 5. He is afterall just like you , don't know what to do, where to invest, how to save, and especially how to earn with genuine work. 6. Afterall he is a human being

You are right, they are even able to manipulate. I was closely watching another scrip when they suggested a SELL, it Rised monumentally. Then Udayan said " There was a surprise Rally in this so and so scrip and the reasons are yet to be ascertained....

Technical analysis is like Astrology, hardly ever can predict succesfully, despite that which hv a market and followers. So you can consider these business chaneels as shows of regular channels, where astrologer of various size, color and flavor, pronounce, how would be ur day today.
