St. Stimulus' Miracle at Wall Street

If there was ever a time when entire humanity relied on one word, it was 2000 years ago when Joseph prophesied the arrival of Messiah to relieve them of their pains and sins, the arrival of Jesus Christ. Today the word was Obama but soon eclipsed by an obscure word in the dictionary.


Well, my English teacher certainly missed the whole point and power of the word stimulus. When looked at the standard dictionary term it seems quite ordinary but then dot.com was extraordinary compound word (not even a word at all). But look Ms. Rosy whole world is waiting for him, he is far more popular than Britney Spears!



St Stimulus now carries all the burden of correcting the sins and pains of the world. For decades economists and printing bankers have lived without the fear of God or retribution from general public, and now when their game in nearly up (or so it seems) they have got St Stimulus to help them in their need. Can St Stimulus really help us and especially the poor US taxpayers (and getting poorer by the day)? We really hope he/she is able to help the dim-witted bankers to see the light of the day and teach them simple fact that if they keep inflating the balloon it will burst at one point (oh no, I am not talking of inflation here and certainly not the hyperinflation; just ask the kid on the beach)

So, what does St Stimulus carry in his goody bag. Hope he has lots of gifts for all. But unlike Dear Santa, St Stimulus may charge us later with a huge bill. Its a mystery what he is carrying in his bag but his list of do-gooders who will receive the gifts were leaked to international press by none other than Obama and his wily gang (beware St Stimulus, they will take away your credits). Its such a small list for such a huge bag and unfortunately our name doesn't seem to appear anywhere: and worse, we would have to carry the bag.

Come on, St Stimulus is very fair, look at what he is spending on just one city (below is a mail sent by so-called Saint's PR person, though it is unsure he is still on job or was fired):

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress (to recommend St Stimulus) for 250 billion dollars to rebuild New Orleans .. Interesting number... what does it mean? (In one word, Saintly Generosity)

If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528. Wow! see Donald Trump was right, you can be rich.

Don't get it? Ugh.. Ok lets simplify; Of 188,251 homes in New Orleans, each will get $1,329,787.

Or still easier way, a family of four will get $2,066,012. Hurray New Orleans citizens you get to be millionaires on St Stimulus day.


{whisper/fine print} But there is just one problem, you have to repay him for his generosity over time.

Did I hear Bonded labour? Yes, it is unofficially a hand-to-mouth to fill the inflating currencies by cutting down on unwanted needs at first and then essentials...

Let us just hope St Stimulus will leave the house better than when he entered it, the same goes for Obama as well.

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...

Monetary inflation, Spiritual devaluation

Its been sometime I have been trying to make some special people understand the evils of inflation. Inflation is an abstract subject most of us dont know about, let alone understand the technicalities amidst jargons. I have in my previous post have briefly touched the social part of inflation but never in a concentrated way. I understand what my friends mean when they say "tell me in layman’s language." It is not a heartening sign, that they avoid technicalities. But it could well be that knowing where they stand, their role and understanding the social changes in the light of inflation may motivate them to understand the term "inflation." This is just to highlight the brief points. First and the foremost, is there any link between inflation numbers and society. Yes. The relation is same as the relation between society and money. What is money? Money is an easy means of exchange. If I am selling my horses to a pig-farmer and I am not interested in taking pigs in ret...

Unprecedented External Demand Shock Underway

India’s export growth averaged 24.8% over the last three years, driven by strong global growth. However, over the last three months, export growth has decelerated sharply. While until recently the strong demand from emerging markets including Latin America, Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa ensured that export growth remained healthy, over the last three months disruptions in the macro environment of these economies have been evident. Apart from weakening demand, exports have also been affected by the lack of availability of foreign trade credit and inventory liquidation. India’s exports declined by 12.1%Y in October 2008 compared with 10.4% in September and 26.9% in August. While we expect some improvement in the second half of 2009, exports are likely to be unusually weak over the next six months. We now expect exports to decline by 5.3%Y in 2009 compared with 12.7% in 2008 (estimated) and 23.1% in 2007 Excerpt source
