    Not directly at the expense of retail investors but then they often decide the market sentiments though 2017 was different because of the mutual fund flows in the equity market.

    Thank you Shabbir. They would have bought a stock and would give high recommendations in media and when all retail investors invest in that stock, the price would go up at which point the FIIs would sell off at high profits ! Have i understood right ?

    In HDFC securities websites, they are giving recommendations along with their Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis report. I have invested in NCC based on their recommendation. I will tell if their recommendation worked !

    They never work. The way it should be used is you need to know the right price to be trading at and not rely on others.

    Even if it works, it is a random outcome for you and not based on your conviction and study.

    I will repeat what shabbir says. Learn fundamental analysis for right stocks and then use shabbir's eBook to get in the stock at the right price.

    The first step is to know the right stocks and you can do that by reading my following articles

    https://shabbir.in/investment-checklist/
    and
    https://shabbir.in/fundamental-analysis/

    Once the stock qualifies the above checklist and analysis, I analyze the business on the following parameters

    https://shabbir.in/business-checklist/

    Then comes the understanding the technical analysis based on price action which gives us the right price. To understand technical analysis I have an ebook for it.

    Then we use quarterly results combined with technical analysis to determine if it is right time to exit the stock or not.
    Thanks for helping me out. Spot on.

    And the process will continue for as many times as you test. There are kind of stock (the right ones) that help you make money and then there are others (the wrong ones) where you waste time unless you can time entry and exit in them at the right time. Often retail investors can't
