SEBI policy on public stock analysis

 A trader posted analysis on a leading analysis platform and shared his communication:

I contacted <confidential>  admin:

Hello Sir,


I hope you're doing well. I wanted to bring something important to your attention regarding SEBI's updated norms.


A few days ago, one of my friends—who is a SEBI-registered Research Analyst—personally warned me that even educational analysis using live market data may now fall under SEBI’s regulatory radar. I didn’t take it too seriously at the time.

However, today, after I posted an analysis on <confidential stock>, I was again approached by another close friend who is a SEBI-registered sub-broker. He also strongly advised me not to continue sharing such analysis, since I'm not SEBI-registered. Both of them mentioned that SEBI is actively monitoring online platforms like <confidential> and that sharing detailed market analysis—even for educational purposes—could lead to penalties or even a trading/market ban.


Now I’m genuinely concerned and confused. My intention is not to provide investment advice—I'm just sharing educational chart analysis, without any fees or paid services. But this recent feedback has created a lot of tension and doubt for me.


he <confidential platform admin > replied:

There are confusions but there is one interpretation of the circular in question (someone else can have another interpretation):


1. Posting on social media without selling anything: 


You’re mostly in the clear. As long as you're not selling services, simply sharing content online is generally safe.


2. Selling non-advisory services (e.g., courses): 


If you're offering educational products, avoid posting recent market charts. Stick to charts that are at least 3 months old to stay on the safer side.


3. Selling advisory services: 


You’re already in the red zone, and this has been the case even before the circular. If your communication to paying subscribers sounds like a recommendation (directly or indirectly), then disclaimers like “for educational purposes” won’t protect you.


You are free to decide which category you fall under and make a decision based on your specific situation.

  Proposal for Muslim Children in India (Sharia-Compliant Model) to create a corpus of 3-4 lakh. Let's study how the US “Trump Accounts” + Dell Family Gift Help Children Through Compounding The new US programme—popularly called “Trump Accounts” —creates small, long-term investment accounts for children. Every eligible child receives $1,000 from the US Treasury , and with Michael & Susan Dell’s additional pledge, another $250 for children under age 10. The key idea is simple: Start early → Invest consistently → Let compounding work for decades. Michael and Susan Dell are one of America’s most prominent business families. Michael Dell founded Dell Technologies , one of the world’s largest computer companies, starting it from his college dorm room. Together, the Dell family has spent decades funding education, children’s health, and opportunity-building programs globally. Their $6.25 billion gift is one of the largest in modern US history dedicated to children. But the rea...

Nifty 50 and Sensex Targets for the Next 3–5 Years (2026–2030) and sector insights.

Nifty 50 and Sensex Targets for the Next 3–5 Years (2026–2030). Sector-wise insights added.  As of November 23, 2025, India's benchmark indices—Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex—have experienced volatility this year, with the Nifty closing around 24,800–25,000 and the Sensex near 82,000–83,000, down from September peaks amid FII outflows and global uncertainties. Reputable institutions like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, ICICI Direct, Motilal Oswal, Jefferies, Citi, and HSBC have issued updated forecasts, driven by expectations of 13–19% annual earnings growth (FY26–28), GDP expansion to 7%, reflationary policies, and domestic inflows absorbing supply pressures. These projections assume stable macros (e.g., oil below $80/barrel, RBI rate cuts) but note risks like US recession or trade tensions. Longer-term targets (beyond 2026) are scarcer and more optimistic, often from Indian brokerages, projecting 12–15% CAGR based on structural reforms and $5–6 trillion GDP by 2030. Below is a summary ...
