Human behavior - why we hate a sale
The trend is your friend, say the analysts. Don't fight the trend is a variation of this oft-used advice, if you can call it that. Ride your winners and sell your losers, shout the guests on CNBC. Put a stop loss order - so you can sell when the stock goes DOWN 10-20% from your purchase price is also a familiar refrain. And what exactly is their track record? Anyone's guess. Since their record is hardly discussed. The agenda is always geared toward moving on to the next prediction. The pundits... -

Wannabe's But Never-will Be's
Wannabe's But Never-will Be's Life is full of endless twists & twirls but how you whether through them defines who you really are(Besides gymnastics clipart).

High level determination of relative valuation of stocks vs. bonds
Now that we have covered the importance of asset allocation, it is time to get a handle on how expensive (or not) the stock market is. This can be done on an absolute level or as compared to the bond market. The bond I prefer for this comparison is the 10- year US Treasury. Of course, this benchmark should only be used for the US stock market. Other markets should probably use the respective countries' 10-yr bonds. This article will address the relative valuation of the US market wrt the 10-yr T...

Should women have financial independence? This was the topic in a recent thread. But what exactly is financial independence? It is not just about earnings power. It is also about knowing how to manage money. We recently went on a business trip which required 5 hours' driving each way. A colleague was unfortunate to bring up stocks. Little did she realize that the next 30 minutes would be more boring than a Misbah ul Haq inning. But the captive audience had nowhere to run. They were trapped. ...

The Fast Food Generation Sans Fundamentals
During my recent Indian trip, on the first day, I went to Navi Mumbai. Some youngsters around 17-18 years of age were practicing cricket. What was the first shot attempted?A sweep. The second shot?A reverse sweep! Now, these kids were kind of well heeled. So a few days later, I was watching some poor kids play cricket (and serving as second wicket keeper when the ball would beat the batsman and keeper and reach the street). What were the main shots attempted?You guessed it. Something was wrong here....

Lords 1982 - Pakistan V England - A memorable match
Every so often something happens which has a lasting effect on the course of future events. The second test match between England and Pakistan in 1982 at Lord’s was one of them. It changed the psychic of both teams and Pakistan which had never won a series in England before 1982, has not lost a series since this match. Yes, many other factors have contributed to Pakistan’s overall superior record over England in England since 1982 but this match helped Pakistan cross that psychological barrier of...

Mirza Sahiba
She loved him badly
but she loved her brothers too
The world called her infidel
and she had nobody to sue
Fallen into exhausted slumber
Mirza - her lover couldn't see her brothers arriving
The renowned warrior never feared the number
..........the only concern Sahiba was having
She had to choose
between her brothers and lover
and love had its fate
yet to discover
Love for brothers ruled the chart... -

Maulana Rumi And His Students!
Once a student of Mevlana Rumi asked him about the four stations of Tasawwuf. Mevlana told him to go the room next door and asked him to slap each of the four students that were there. So the student slaped each of the four students in the room. The first one got up and slapped him back. The second one got up and just as he was about to slap him, he stopped half way. The third one just glaced at his face. The fourth one just continued...
