The Rich Man's Story - Part 6 (retro)

yjssSo, has the time come for such a situation as yet. No. Not at all. But we are getting there somewhat closer every passing month. It could be years before we see some bad situations or we may never even see them in our life times at all. Hopefully so. But does that mean we can party hard and forget the hangover? That would not be prudent.

One of the smartest investor explains the risk management like this. Suppose you have to cross a street every day. Intially, you check out if there are any vehicles approaching, and carefully cross the street. And everytime you find that there are no vehicles approaching, so does that mean the next time you are crossing the street you need not be careful. 'That' crossing perhaps could end up being the last crossing.

So let the party continue, enjoy, just be aware what you have to do, when the party is over.
What should we do? Here I would not like to make any suggestions, for no matter, I am still do not know enough to suggest that. There are many books that deal with these issues, that should help.

PARTY HARD, JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

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...
