I am passionate about the subject of education. I am disturbed by the sleazy practices of various ‘for-profit colleges’ who essentially fleece the poor and the veterans and raid the Pell Grants (there by cheating the tax payers also.) Shedding light on fraud in the name of higher education is my crusade. [Quotes from the […]
His name is Bill Halter. He is a Democrat and trying to unseat Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln in a primary fight for the US Senate race. A group supporting Senator Lincoln, put out a racist ad which featured Indians. “Bangalore needs jobs. Thank you, Bill Halter.” See the ad embedded in the midst of commentary […]
His name is Ken Cuccinelli. He hails from the same place where I live. He is the current Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This IDIOT wants Church of Christ to be the lab and Bible to be the book of science.He doesn’t believe in climate change. Now, his is accusing Professor Michael Mann, […]
The head of the Squid says, “We share some burden.”
In 1997 the Asian debt crisis was termed by the western media as “Asian Contagion.” The implication being – it is some sort of a terrible communicable disease from Asia. In the interest of ‘fairness’ I am calling the current European debt crisis, “European Contagion.” Zero Hedge reports: Now that Greece is thoroughly irrelevant, the […]
Do you, as a person of Indian origin, get offended by this ad? (I will let the ad speak for itself.)
Back in May 2009, I talked a lot about Matt Taibbi’s article in Rolling Stone magazine, in which he called Goldman Sachs a “Vampire Squid.” In January of this year, I had written an article on TeluGlobe about Matt’s lone crusade against the Wall Street’s mighty banks. Alas, I lost that article to a database […]
As I grew up, I am not reading as much Telugu literature – especially Telugu fiction. But, as a teenager I read just about everything Yandamuri wrote. I read his first novel “Rushi” when it came out as a supplicant to Swathi monthly. I immediately wrote a letter to him as soon as I read […]

The readers of this blog know how much I love Goldman!! I watched some part of the ‘Goldman hearings’ yesterday. A lot of these senators’ populist rhetoric is utterly stupid. So stupid that even I felt some sympathy for Goldman. Here is the simplified business model of Goldman As a market maker Goldman buys and […]
If it appears from my writings that I am heavily into stock market, that would be true in the past. But, currently I am in a time out mode. For this reason, so far on this blog I refrained from making a market call. The closest comment I made on market direction was in early […]
Remember the phrase by Mr. Buffet, “Financial weapons of mass destruction?” Not only that, several times he mocked investment bankers for little or no value they create in the economy. That was before he himself got stuck in a deep derivatives mess in 2008. He sold European style puts on S&P and it was rumored […]
For some time I have been planning to write this note of appreciation for Chakravarthy garu. I wanted to spend enough time to make sure I will hit all the points. If I waited for finding enough time, this note will lose its value. Readers of this blog and listeners of my show know where […]
I am a big fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Of course, that’s why one of TeluGlobe’s categories is “Fake News.” I think Fake News is the best way to have a satirical take on some the most ridiculous current events. Fake News shows have effectively shed light on the hypocrisy of many […]
His name is Fabrice Toure. He is in the central figure in the Government’s fraud case against Goldman Sachs. He was only 27 when Goldman gave him the FABulous opportunity to fleece clients and there by fleece some European retirement accounts. Blogs are referring to this sociopath of a banker (who is now 31) as […]
I think Senator Dodd’s bill on Financial Reform is no-good, very-bad, ugly bill! I have been investing/trading stocks and options (derivatives) for nearly 20 years. I read a lot of stuff on economy, markets etc etc. These are my 2 cents on Financial Regulation based on whatever I come to know from my exposure and […]
