China - Best is yet to come

IS the Chinese market crash, the end of the era as the CNBC pundits say?

On the contrary, this should be the start of the good period for China.

The Chinese markets had risen superbly, almost without a correction. A correction or sanitisation was called for. Which has now been duly given.

With the Olympics looming large in 2008, you can take for granted Chinese Gov is not going to do anything but be cautious. What we saw was perhaps the first dose of medicine. We can expect more in days to come. Chinese govt will certainly wont want to have a crash a month before Olympics. It would certainly want to show the best face of China- happy, rich, socialist and Govt loving people.

The govt will manage the economy in such a manner that before and during the Olympics the state of economy is in the finest state. In the most progressive state. With the world's eye on it, it may have to ward off the humanitarian/inequality barbs that come during the big show. The best defense against such accusations to have a strong progressive economy.

As I see it, China is like a gardener pruning his roses so that the best roses are timed for the flower show. The best is yet to come for China.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
