Sri Lankan investors in the Colombo Stock Exchange should not worry about market manipulators but develop their own trading plan and system, Bartleet Religare Securities said.
"Markets (Human emotions) love to blame everyone else for their losses and wrong doings. The markets favourite villain is the so called ‘Manipulator clique’ that were present in the markets a few months ago.
During the boom of 2009 – 2010 these ‘cliques’ helped the market generate enormous returns and everybody was happy and there was no blame. When those very ‘cliques’ started to unload stocks they were blamed for ruining everything.
"At present as the ‘cliques’ seem to have disappeared from the market, they are blamed again," the brokering firm said in a recent report earlier this week.
"Sri Lanka should realize that the so called manipulator in the market is responsible for the movement and without them there would not be a stock market to trade in. The market needs them and the markets must learn not to blame them.
"Investors do not need to worry about them but learn to develop their own trading plan and system for trading. The days of easy money are over its time to work hard for your money.
"Technically the market seems to be heading down towards 5,800 and traders should keep a close eye on their positions and ensure that they are not risking too much in the hope of the anticipated rally," Bartleet Religare said.
