Rich Man's story - Preface (Retro)

Hi,

This is an attempt explain few things in a simple manner. But economics is not a simple cake. It has been made tough as hell by the jargons that keep sprouting. It tough also because, every event is different in the eyes of different people. What is income for somebody is somebody else' expense. What is demand for one, is somebody's supply. But it is an important part of life. Having knowledge of economics will sure not hurt. It may just help. This attempt, is by no way the most "correct" method. I mean the terms may not be exactly defined as such. But it is close. My only attempt is to create interest and make aware of few things. I hope is simple enough for you consider to start reading economics in details.

If there is a central theme you must remember at all the times while reading these passages, then it is this: The Party is still on, enjoy the Party. Don't worry too much about the future, live the present. But plan, who will drive you to home when you have finished partying. Plan, how you will manage the hangover effect.

PARTY HARD, JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS. [I hope I am able to keep it too :)]

Tip 1: This is a story, only that it deals with economics. You would have to go through the sequential parts, other wise much of the continuity, the "process" will be missed.

Tip 2: Many times I have included some texts in the [ ] which just help you out, in visualizing the contexts and interpretations. You can skip them, if you find it difficult, and still not loose anything.

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...
