Good discussion. Unfortunately, CSE is dead for over 3 years with massive negative returns and not sure these ratios are relevant in anyways in a dead market like CSE to make any investment decisions.

There is absolutely no doubt that many shares are trading at more than 50% discount to its fair vale. Eg: LFIN, CDB, VFIN, ALLI, REXP, TKYO, APLA, CFIN, SAMP and many others.

Now the trend is to pick one or two shares a week and push it up and dispose it without any fundamental backing. people who buy before the manipulation wins and people who buy at the end of the manipulation get caught.

First we should have a stable government with a clear vision for the country and economy. Until that happens, it's very unlikely that we come anyway near the valuation of our regional markets.

Keep the spirit guys and hold on to your valuable counters and at some point we will win.

Shall we discussed the shares that were traded on the trend/manipulations which will give us a clear understanding of market psychology. Because, I cannot agree with what is described in the 3rd para. Of cause manipulations are there in any market, it was far less than 2009-2013 era.
