I think some uber-bulls on Netflix, the stock, don’t know what hit them. Before they could say down, the stock came down crashing from $305 to now $130, which is a $175 haircut in 6 weeks. After a long lull where all stocks went up regardless of the fundamentals, I am encouraged by the signs […]

What is education? Does getting a degree means one got education? How do we acquire knowledge? Through curriculum? Professors? Learning environment? Our own motivation? What makes some institutions great? Why do students from certain institutions come out as the best? What is the virtual cycle of education (per my definition)? Take a listen. విద్య అంటే […]

Marc Faber is a well known investor. To the best of my knowledge, he is the only one who has bee consistently correct in foreseeing every major turn in every major economy in the world. His timing is also very good. He spoke to Reuters on Sept 22. Watch the video here, or if doesn’t […]
[This post is for mature readers only.] Some 12 years ago when tech stock bubble was in full swing, Luc, a regular poster on the Silicon Investor boards used to end his comments/posts with a tag line, “All Clowns Must be destroyed.” I used to get appalled at the meteoric rise of stocks some of […]

When President Obama recently proposed Jon always manages to surprise me with his ability to tame the beast with well thought out arguments and great comebacks like the one in this interview with Mitch Daniels, Indiana Governor: “obsession, bashing and confiscating. I understand the language of unity, but I am not sure.. (if this choice […]
The central bank chairman with God complex, who arrogantly proclaimed that he could have saved the Great Depression may have been leading us in the same path. His latest ‘twist’ is here – Operation Twist, to be exact. The Twist may be a bit too much to handle for the banking system he and his […]

In the news roundup segment of my Sept 16th show I made a mention of Ron Suskind’s book on Obama’s Presidency. This may be the first book of real substance about the inner workings of Obama Presidency. It sort of confirms my own instincts, which I commented here or on my show from time to […]
Netflix now trading at 139 (premarket) dropped another 20 points from when I exited my tiny bearish bet last Thu. Yesterday the CEO issued a mea culpa letter to the customers and announced that they will spin off their DVD business as “Quickster!” I messed up. I owe everyone an explanation. It is clear from […]
If you think that pic of Netflix pitchman Jason Alexander is funny, you have to know the jokes that were in circulation about AOL disks arriving mail. One example: 101 uses for all the unsolicited AOL trial disks you received. As I mentioned a couple of months ago on my TORi show, Netflix will implode […]
