The Sweetest Revenge


 Technical Analysis is the simply the best party trick there ever is! Period! It is guaranteed to draw attention and awe. If guaranteed to make its proponent a future seeing Magi.

Technical analysis is one of the best ways to inflict revenge on your enemies. Imagine this, you hate your boss a lot. So, go ahead and show him / her marvels of technical analysis, the precision and ease of making infinite amounts of money in shortest time. If he / she follow your most benevolent advice, they are most likely to lose quite a bit of money before they become aware of it – you have your revenge! And in good instances, they are very profitable, they are so happy with you for sharing Aladdin’s lamp that they may give you a promotion or something. This is the sweetest revenge.

The reason it is‘revenge’ is technical analysis, for all its simplicity of presentation hides far more than presented. Most often, people just don’t bother to look deep enough for the flaws in the foundation or how the changes in environment will impact its usage. The party trick is so easy to replicate, everybody wants to do it and they know they can do it. Unfortunately, most analysis at its primary level is just that – a trick.

[A very important contradiction here that we take up later and I will very briefly explain here. Any technical analysis method that a 5-year old cannot replicate is too difficult, and probably is not sustainable over long run. This is because only the simplest system can survive the fiercest of variables and changes.]

Essentially, what it means is, the party trick is all that is enough! And your promotions are guaranteed. However, the real cause of losing money is not because technical analysis is per se useless, but it is just a tool to be used with couple more other systems to make it very useful.

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...
