Hi Whatsup
I have a fundamental question... may be very silly. If in a typical company, the promotors increase their shares very little but FIIs increase more with Public holding reduces, is it a good sign? Similarly if both promotors and FII increase continuously their share with Public holding reducing, is it a good sign? Is there any difference in both these cases where in the second case promotor is also active heavily.
thanks

As a fundamental value investor .. what we need to look at as our only friend are the numbers.. the financials..
The promoter buying/selling.. FII buying/selling.. are indicators but the real driving force has to be the numbers.. the reported sales profits.. profit margins..
So its important to concentrate on the numbers and to keep the emotions on check..
As the saying goes "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.." and the mind can easily trick you to be attracted to a stock .. just because you own it..
