Transformational Leadership

Transformational Leadership are a myth. Well, in most cases.

Leadership situations of most cases rarely lend its to transformational possibilities. But some definitely do, and such a leadership is expected in such a situation.

The present situation India finds itself in, most notably after a decade of weak and feeble leadership, is the hour of transformational leadership. The need is due to genuine demographic concerns and loss of prestige and place among global peers. Most important of all is to be able to utilize a great opportunity to rise hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and better the general standard of living.

You can routinely find such situations in corporate world but even there the percentage of successes with transformational leadership style is very low, but not unheard of.

The point is, if India has to succeed with a transformational leader, Modi or no Modi - India has to be lucky.

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...
