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.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

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...
