Wonderful!! I agree with you on this. Now I realize one of my mistake. I did not automatically link word "SIP" to a Mutual Fund because I believe that regular planned investing can be done without help of any fund manager. All one needs is commitment and funds allocation.
Commitment and funds and most importantly is skills. Investing is not a simple and straight forward task, average investor cannot invest. That is why fundamental analysis is looked down upon by retailers. It is just not possible as fundamental analysis is just a deep research career that needs its own time. Retailers should always always take help of a CFA in investing like he takes help of CA in auditing and tax
How? Sir!! How? Is there any reliable and economical source for a normal investor to be even be within 10-20% of the depression? I have been thru every dividend publishing site and all I gets is overload of info. I am one of the crazy fellow who sit whole nights to read all that trash and 90% is meant to confuse and intimidate average Joe into either running away or placing money in hands of incompetent fund manager that you've so succulently described.
Most websites give basic information only, you might have read in the disclaimer that it is for education purposes only and not for use. Deeper information can only be gotten by studying religiously. That information then has to be used with your own personal style, and you can make money with ease. Learning curve is as long as that of becoming a master trader from a novice.
Honestly, do not understand the finer difference. Growth investing gets advertised as Fundamental Investing. I will see if I can find adverts where I had seen this.

If I never purchased XYZ in my life, what the .... do I know if its value is 1000 Rs or 10Rs. Face value of 90% of traded equity is 10Rs or less. P/E ratio means nothing to me.
Face value represents the starting capital of the firms, if the firm is profitable then book value will be more than face value, so face value is not of ANY concern. If price is higher than book value then we look at intangibles, as all tangibles are included in book value. The detail in investing is to adjust all those numbers for "possible financial manipulation, overestimation of profit, underestimation of loss, depreciation, good will on book and much more" They dont teach you that on the web. There are many valuation methods that you can use. I have given outline of all methods

You mean there are Good qualified analyst that we can find who will somehow not follow the industry tag and give you proper advice and treat investor's money as his own?
There are many "underground" LLPs which invest money for clients, fund managers have a big share in those LLPs and have a profit and loss sharing policy. (Its illegal to manage funds without paying freakin 1lakh every month + registration fee to freakin SEBI, this is a loophole)
Finally, let me get this straight, You mean to tell me that average Joe Blow should put his money in safe band FD/RD until market has crashed and then when it has crashed enough, he/she should liquidate his FDs and buy the stocks while he sees blood on streets while everyone else he knows (except few invisible Hawks) are shitting in their pants?
YES my friend! What is the logic behind buying in a increasing or stagnating market?! So keep your money in a place where you get highest return. ie RD,why RD and not FD? Because RD simulates the SIP effects and makes you habit of saving regularly. (all advice i give is well thought of, I may be a wimp in technical analysis but I am confident with my investment advice) Liquidate RD when the market is below market price and buy in and hold tight through all the ****, this is one of the most effective ways to make money, you are buying low and selling high. Dont give in to the emotions, Just close your eyes and think everyone has gone retarded.
For people who give example of satyam and say you will lose all your money. here is a link to learn asset allocation.
