analyst maybe see mood if strike 4D then say buy, if quarrel with wife then sell..

lookcc      ( Date: 02-Jun-2009 23:13) Posted: so if analyst is working 4 someone who wants 2 buy, then d analyst will call 4 a sell??? iPunter      ( Date: 02-Jun-2009 00:15) Posted: Well, it all depends on who an analyst is working for... If  he is working for someone who needs to unload a lot of the shares, then he will of course have to call for a buy. This is called self-interest, which is the only 'principle' that exists in the financial world...

i think im much worse than ur YZJ..singtel is already one of the less jialat case..i bought penny stocks too last time..sinopipe analyst call strong buy TP 0.65. i bought at 0.45. Dropped all the way to 0.045 before it rose to ard 0.13 now..can u imagine it actually dropped to 1/10 of my price with a strong buy call..

can have alot of different analyst from different famous big banks calling buy but it dropped all the way..no way to recover back even with the current rally..and i'm still holding on without cutting loss..

anyway, i dun follow analyst now..do my own research and judgement better..but now i v kiasi already..got win win abit sell, drop also cut loss fast..play safe..turns out to be more effective than following analyst call..

well i can only say school fees are expensive..really gotta go thru' the experience of losing before can really step into the stock mkt business..

i truely believe that one has to lose b4 he really understand how to earn. It will also let them experience the up and down so in future they are able to handle situation better.

My 1st trade also buy bec of analyst report. YZJ buy call tp 2.9. den i buy at 2.19, after that drop till 1.3..bo bian den avg dw, until i cannot take it cut lost. 

I think it is not fair to use one stroke of the brush n paint all analyst black.

There are good apples as well as rotten apples, just tat u need to track the credibility & track record of tat analyst, out of how many calls is he/she correct n wrong (of course, to be fair to him/her, we must accept tat some calls may be wrong as we can't expect all calls to be correct) & decide whether to trust his/her tgt price. More credence if it is supported by chart analysis rather than a figure plucked from nowhere.
