When things don’t go your way in the markets, you can do one of two things:

1) assign blame to a plethora of different parties, entities, conspirators and evil factors or
2) try to figure out what you could have done better or where you might have strayed

#1 is the easy and natural thing to do: it’s hard to admit we screwed up, but it’s easy to blame:

– short sellers

– market maker manipulation

– FIIs

– The RBI

– Centre Govt

– fake government statistics

– Algo Trading

– bad data from some internet finance site
