Suzlon Energy: Another Jet Airways of the stock market in the making?

Suzlon Energy share price has tumbled around 11 per cent in this week and if we go by the stock market experts, the stock is expected to further nosedive as the counter is both technically and fundamentally weak. According to the stock market experts, the recent bond default to the tune of Rs 1300 crore has done further damage to the traders' sentiment. Since the company is facing a liquidity crisis there are murmurs that the counter may become another Jet Airways of the stock market. Both Jet Airways company and its shares have crash landed. After the free-fall of Jet Airways share price, SEBI had to withdraw Jet Airways shares from the cash segment to ensure the safety of the small investors.
