The essence of Capitalism is that you take risk and ‘invest’ via ownership or debt in a venture. If the venture goes bust, then: If you are a shareholder, you could lose all you invested; If you are a bondholder, you get some back (say your fair share of whatever is remaining, after liquidation); and […]
The two largest items US consumers spend on are 1) Health Care and 2) Education Since the days of 2008 presidential campaign, so much attention has been focused on rising health care costs. The Great Recession (this is how they are referring to the current economic climate) has left many state budgets in such a […]

A Telugu euphemism for poetic eccentricity is ‘bhaavukatha.’ If it were up to a person with no romantic touch, he/she would call this eccentricity ‘paithyam.’ About three years ago I guest hosted a […]

Stop being naive in believing that the stock market is ‘efficient’ and all those nonsensical theories developed by some crackpot economists. In a LESS manipulated market, you may have a chance at making money in ‘investing’ or ‘trading’ securities.

If you are watching the economic developments around the world through the tainted glasses provided by CNBS, you would think that everything in the world is just fine. Economic utopia is around the corner, yada yada yada. What else do you expect from a TV network that panders to the financial shills, a la, mutual […]
