SEBi is not an authority in astrology, nor its has predictive expertise in stock markets, else it would have adviced the investors itself about what to buy and what not to buy. It would have saved the innocent investors from the 2008 crash in the market by cautioning in advance. Therefore it is not the job of SEBI to issue the advices to anyone other than exchanges, brokers & regd companies.

If it is concerned about small investors its really good but for that it may ensure satyam like scam dosent happen inspite of its regulation. It may issue an advice to exchanges for not allowing the stocks to trade above or below Book Value, at unrealistic prices and so on, which could really ensure the safety to small investors.

Astrology is the only science which can guide the investors in the right direction regarding any investment. How Astrology influences the stock prices can be learned through the book "Stock Market Astrology & Astrological Theory of Business Cycles" empherical data of past recessions proves the relation between the markets and astrology, and how it can be taken into notice in making any investment decision or staying away from the markets is given there. Sebi itselt must take into account of any science which can provide proper guidence to it about the market dynamics, which may help it to keep check on any mis happenings in the markets. www.TradingFunda.com
