Company Reports - Do you believe them?

[Follow The Trend]

Over the last few years there have been so many instances of "mis-reporting" of figures, that we are getting towards a situation when Company Reports are not as well respected as they used to be.

What would you trust more? The Company Report of the Share Price Trend?

I have seen a few instances in the UK where shares have been falling, but Companies still keep institing there is nothing behind it, then BANG something comes out of the blue - and it all becomes a little clearer.

Does that ring bells with anyone?

Reports are great but by the time the ordinary person gets the info ... it is already old news to the smart money.

While I still take a look at Company Report and Accounts, etc, I always like to look at the wider picture.

I also check out Broker Reports, chit chat on the boards and the share price trend. It is only after checking these that I would arrive any a decision, whether this be to deal / research further / ignore / monitor.

After all said and done, the actual share price trend is fairly high on my list of major pointers.
