    During 2007 , the GMR infra increased 300 Rs in a single day now it is trading @ just 25 Rs. , Indowind Energy was trading @ 200 Rs now it is below 5 Rs. Likewise I could give so many examples.

    The point here is don't look at the past performance or price level , Consider the present situation

    if one guy makes profit in a single stock that would become his favorite stock and he will keep buying that stock only , This is a big mistake.

    My friend's favorite share is unitech , he accumulated more no of unitech shares @ 400 , now see that price.
