@the deal... you are a little mistaken because when a stock is downgraded to "hold" it means that its price can rise but its very risky...
but when its downgraded to "sell" thats when there is no more room for price rise

You should always do your own analysis before then compare it with your brokers... SCBK was a buy at 180 not a hold but at 320 its definitely a hold and even moving towards a sell

I have come to the conclusion that advisors/brokers influence share prices. They do their research and send their recom (usually buy side) to institutional investors. The investors respond trustingly, by throwing big monies into the stock creating huge demand and bidding up the prices. Next time a broker makes a recom, pay attention not coz they are right but you might ride out the price increase caused by the instnal investor activity.

I entered at 150,sold half at 202 and the rest at 300.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

When brokers say hold, they often mean sell. At 300 bob for stanchart, I should take profit.

@pk only the brokers understand their language. There is a broker who issued a hold recom on BBK when it was trading at 37 (last year) citing slow uptake of loans and limited expansion . I thought banks were about to collapse, but look where we are now.

It takes lots of guts for a broker to recommend hold or sell...this may mean loss of future business with the said co.s...thats why most will shout BUY BUY BUY regardless...I respect brokers with independent opinions even if wrong.

I think brokers are 'sponsors' of certain securities. They seem to be giving them varourable coverage/analysis.
