High time to stop reading tamil mags as they have almost done their bit in spoiling a larger society! Have you heard of 'special' issues from your news stand guy? Nakk.. or repo.. comes out with such issues.They will browse for obscene pics/content from the net and merge it with a 'true'(!!??)report which the common man is never gonna get affected! May be they want to guide ppl how to search and find such content from the net.
They felt so offended by Vivek's comments(which is equally stinking bad).but whats the truth ?are you guys not doing that?? also Vivek tries to defend those 'pathini deivams'
thats even more ridiculous!! ppl r laughing at that!
My sincere request is: if you want to create awareness...do that without your obscene pics!! let ppl know about your honesty!

BLOGS,FORUMS ..good or bad?!!
Hatred , foul words, stinkin thoughts , no respect for other's opinion ,abuse
this is all one can see in discussion boards,blogs and forums.
My opinion is that it is not gonna help anyone...instead it aggravates the hatred and
anger within ones' self towards others.
We need to use these forums to unite people and share ways to remove hatred instead of increasing it!
Let us become more civilized! It is so disgusting to see that people fight like dogs with no respect(even dogs are faar better than em)

Financial Crisis! Investors-What to do and what not to do!

Stock investors! Don't panic

Washington, D.C.: It's been a bad week on Wall Street. The Dow has been avalanching downward, and the July to September summary of 401(k) statements in people's mailboxes look like black diamond ski slopes. It's a lousy time to be an investment banker, or a hedge fund manager, or planning a December retirement.
What Not To Do Right Now
So Forbes.com asked some of the nation's foremost experts in financial crisis what people should do in a moment like this. Their message: DON'T PANIC.
"Sit still," says Robert Aliber, a professor of international economics and finance at the University of Chicago. Aliber helped write the book on manias, panics and crashes. Literally. He co-authored the most recent edition of Charles Kindleberger's classic Manias, Panics and Crashes, which chronicles and anatomises crashes from tulip mania to the Great Depression to the dot-com bubble.
"By and large what we have is a liquidity crisis," says Aliber. Banks depend more than anyone on the constant availability of credit, and they're in a much worse position than they were a year ago. But should a freezing of liquidity cause a 40 per cent drop for all stocks? A recession would cut into firms' profits but not by that much, says Aliber. That means there are a lot of cheap stocks out there.
In the long term, economists agree. Markets have always recovered in the past. But a famous bit of dismal science wisdom is that in the long term we are all dead. What about in the here and now?
"I would worry about a crash on Monday, but it could also be a huge buying opportunity," says Robert Shiller, the Yale economics professor who wrote Irrational Exuberance and The Subprime Solution and has made much of his career studying bubbles. Even if the majority of businesses are fundamentally okay, that doesn't stop people from overreacting. Irrational exuberance on the way up and irrational panic on the way down are all part of market psychology.
"One question is how big a role patriotism pays in their thinking. You don't want to be part of a market panic," says Shiller. "There's a moral issue in not pulling out."
There's also the issue of not being the sucker who sells at the very bottom of a market.
Stefan Nagel, an assistant professor of finance at Stanford recently co-wrote a paper on this very topic titled "Inexperienced Investors and Bubbles." Harvard's Robin Greenwood and Nagel found that inexperienced investors, in terms of age, are particularly likely to focus too heavily on recent returns.
After the lousy returns of the 1970s, inexperienced investors were more reluctant to invest in stocks. They missed out when stocks returned. After the boom years of the '90s, inexperienced investors were more likely to increase their stock exposure. When the dot-com bubble burst, they got burned.
"We don't have the latest numbers on the current situation yet, but, based on the historical experience, it seems likely that it is particularly inexperienced investors who are rushing for the exit at the moment," says Nagel.
It's another old market maxim, and it's as true on the way down as it is on the way up: Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
In the past four weeks, the Dow Jones industrial average has lost 26 per cent of its value. In the past year, it's lost 40 per cent. And despite comparisons to the Great Depression, the economists who talked to Forbes.com see nothing nearly that severe.
People don't panic forever. And compared with watching CNBC all day, the economists are optimists. That's the pain of being an academic, always the Cassandra: pessimistic when times are good (because there's always a fall coming) and optimistic when times are bad (because things always recover).
What Not To Do Right Now
But they're not just optimistic because a crisis boosts book sales. "I borrowed money to buy stocks," confides Aliber, with a hint of excitement. "They've lost money since earlier in the week, but I'm going to make a bundle."

My Questions!!??
Dear Indian,
Voice out.... vent out your depression and disapointment!
' Change the things that you can and accept the things that you can't'
The above saying matches exactly the way we live in India. We don't care about others vice versa.
But,somewhere inside our conscience it always cries out loud and clear !!
This is a beginning and my only wish is that ..'hey come on and vent your anger on the society,
government,politicians etc.,
Jai India!
