Technical Analysis of Markets - Direction of Nifty

Technical Analysis is a key tool in the hands of market analysts. It’s a marked deviation from the Fundamental Analysis approach of Scrips which we were applying in past few posts.

Birth of StockFundoo!

How common is to start discussing Stock Markets with your friends, family and boss, when someone chips in with a horrible tale of plunder:

• I bought this Hot concept company IPO - Microfinance, Media or Telecom - and its down by about 80% now. I am scared to even touch IPOs now.


• The telecom company scrip I bought in 2007-end, I'm averaging it since then but my investments are down by about 60%.


• Options - Aaaagh. I have lost thousands on advice of my broker and they always turn out to be worthless by Month-end Expiry.


• Stocks - Beta, don't touch them, even with a tad pole. Invest in Gold instead, they dont make it anymore.
