Think of it as your starting point before you trust anyone with a single rupee of your capital. Every day, someone in India pays for a stock tip. Some of those tips come from qualified, accountable professionals. Many come from people with no licence at all. The line between the two has a name: SEBI […]
Buddhi Prakash Karol holds a real SEBI Research Analyst registration. Number INH000018090. Valid from August 1, 2024. Verifiable on SEBI’s public RA list. That fact is worth stating first because it matters. He is not a fake entity. He is not an unregistered operator. The license is genuine. What the license does not do is
Karim is a driver. The sole earner in his house, the son of a labourer, with his sister’s wedding falling on 12 April and the family’s books already running, in his words, “minus minus.” Into that pressure walked a SEBI-registered research analyst who, over two months of daily calls, took roughly ₹70,000 from him, much
SEBI registration gets treated as a badge of total trust. It is not. It is a licence for a specific job, with clear edges. Understanding those edges is what protects you. Most retail traders get hurt not because they trusted a registered analyst, but because they did not know where that analyst’s authority stopped. So
You joined a SEBI registered analyst’s Telegram or WhatsApp group, and alongside the trading calls came broker referral links, Demat account promotions, and nudges to trade through one particular platform. It left you wondering: is that normal, or is the analyst quietly earning off every trade you place? It is a fair question, and the
Most retail traders follow calls from WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, or an analyst directly, and they fix on one thing: the target price. So the question comes up a lot: can a SEBI research analyst give trades without a stop loss? The honest answer is more layered than a simple yes or no, and understanding
You probably did not invest because of a random tip. You invested because the analyst showed a track record that looked convincing, past calls that seemed accurate, returns that looked impressive, and confidence that felt earned. Then the trade went wrong, and one question started nagging: if they were right so many times before, how
A course advertisement promises to teach you trading, options strategies, or “wealth creation,” and somewhere in the pitch sits the phrase “SEBI registered.” It is meant to reassure you. But it raises a fair question: does that registration actually make the course worth paying for, or is it being used to build trust it does
“Buy 5 lots now if you want maximum profit.” You followed the lot size your analyst gave you, the trade went wrong, and now the loss is real. You keep replaying the conversation, wondering if that instruction was even allowed. That doubt is worth trusting. Most traders never think to ask whether an analyst can
Here’s what most people miss about arbitration. It isn’t another complaint form. It’s a neutral tribunal that hears your dispute and passes an award the broker has to honour. For anyone who lost money and got nowhere with the grievance desk, that’s the stage where things get real. So we pulled the Motilal Oswal record
Churning is the quiet one. There’s no single dramatic trade to point at. Instead, your account is traded far more than it should be, and each trade skims a little brokerage, until the broker has earned handsomely while you’ve lost. It’s harder to spot than an unauthorised trade, because on paper you may have agreed
You get a message from a “market expert”: buy this option now, hold for this target, exit at this level. It feels like professional, personal guidance. And if the person is a SEBI registered research analyst, surely they are allowed to tell you exactly what to do with your money? This is where the confusion
