Top 10 reasons to Avoid CNBC

1. First and most imp, the music of CNBC is bad bad (very bad) for mental shanti you need to think.
According to my estimate, 5 minutes of exposure, can ruin as much as 50 mins to 50 hrs.

2. The 98% of the views offered on CNBC is crap. The 2% which may be good, may not fall on your ears.

3. They show the obvious (what went up and what went down) and add a lot of noise to that.

4. The analyst over hype and show too much emotions which influences you into making bad decisions. Like say "mkt is strong" when going up and "mkt is weak" when going down.
Class Nursery kids can also say this, plus talking to them gives you pleasure.

5. Many of the analyst who appear on CNBC have a tarnished image. All the more dangerous.

6. Schemes like Power Your Trade which was pushed very aggressively during previous bull run in april-may 2006 was a catastrophe. More such schemes may come.

7. The channel is used by many analyst and fund managers to "showcase" themselves.

8. CNBC would think of how to increase viewer ship, and not how to make you rich. (imagine)

9. The ladies on channel are not as good as the ones on US wala CNBC. ;-)

10. In a scientific study done to determine the effect of CNBC on young children, it was found that those who watched 2 hrs of CNBC everyday, were poorer in maths, logical thinking and always have a desire to know the latest news. If you feel such syndromes in yourself, consult your doctor and file a law suit.

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...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

Depreciation of British Pound 1900-2000

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle. Though it is a common knowledge US Dollar has depreciated nearly 100% since the creation of Federal Reserve, the same is the case of all the currencies across the globe. For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
