Maytas is 'Satyam' (Truth) written backwards. It appears that Ramalinga Raju named the IT firm that he established in 1987 'Satyam' after a great deal of deliberation.

The kabbalists reveal a frightening truth: Every thought, every impulse, every reactive emotion that ignites in our minds caused by the ego, is the tool of the Opponent. Those thoughts and emotions do not belong to us. We only think they do. In fact, the only time we make contact with our soul and true happiness is when we resist those thoughts.When we recognize the voice of the ego as the voice o

As the credit crunch bites and a global economic crisis threatens, Robert Peston reveals how the super-rich have made their fortunes, and the rest of us are picking up the bill.

It looks very likely that Obama will win and Democrats will gain additional seats. Political preferences aside, history says that a unified government is bad for markets.

If you’ve been attempting to make sense of the American presidential campaign, you are not alone. Weird, unbelievable, out of control -- these are terms that clearly apply to the nastiest election the country has ever encountered.

Investors around the world, in preceding years, had enjoyed above-historical average returns on both asset classes, continued reaching for ever higher gains, and the financial services industry created a variety of complicated products to meet this demand.

It has been shown by scientists that chilids (the 'perch-like fish,') establish a life-long feeding, mating and territorial 'pecking-order,' by actually observing the fights and competitive feeding activities of their peers. This is 'mirrored' in carp, and it is especially interesting for us, in big carp; so why not truly exploit this natural behaviour and achieve some exceptional catches! To specifically target those biggest carp, you can really leverage bait and baiting techniques. You can induce a 'competitive' escalation of 'bait excited fish activity' in your swim, right up through the ranks of the more numerous smaller fish and in fact affect the feeding behaviour of the very biggest wariest carp. I call it the accelerated 'bait triangle effect.' You can get these biggest fish 'cha
And that is how even the most solid companies, Bank Hapoalim and Bank Leumi fell sharply Monday, along with Africa Israel and The Israel Corporation. And Teva and Israel Chemicals. That is the definition of a crash - everything falls without any distinction between good and bad, including government bonds. Real estate prices are dropping, and oil and commodity prices are skyrocketing. Exporters to the U.S. are hurting from the weak dollar, and a credit crisis is now choking economic activity. The Israeli economy is no longer expected to grow by 5% this year, but only by 3.5%. So maybe this is not really a panic, but just an intelligent and accurate appraisal of reality.

I've just been reading a book by a guy called Bruce Sullivan. The book is called 'Hanna's Christmas Gift' and it's about how to live a better, happier and more peaceful kind of life. The aim of the book is excellent, and much of the content is also very worthwhile, but I feel that some of it really misses the mark.He basically advocates five premises:1. Free your heart form hatred2. Free your mind from worries3. Live simply4. Give more5. Expect lessI have absolutely no problem with 1-4. These are great aims, things we should all be striving towards. But it's a shame that Mr Sullivan has included 'expect less' in his (to quote) 'amazing principles.' Although he does say here and there that possessions and wealth are not bad in themselves, the overwhelming tone of the book is that these thin
The bills are starting to trickle in from my December and January cycles with the RE. I really am shocked at how much money The Insurance Company makes on patients.While I am very lucky to have insurance at all (I know some of you have paid out-of-pocket for many A.R.T. cycles with no insurance which boggles my mind... ) I am a bit miffed that my working for one of the largest IT companies in the world does not guarantee decent insurance. There was a time, oh, about 10 years ago when I had a plan that paid for e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. In fact, when I gave birth to David in 2003, I was on the hook for $20 in total for the entire pregnancy and delivery. Man, I had it good.Then the economy started to change, and insurance companies got greedy, and corporations starting paying exorbitant premiums

It sometimes takes courage to buy when the faint of heart are fleeing. In investing, like in life, cliches abound that command us to go against the grain and be greedy when others are fearful.

These are the thoughts pulsing through my brain at the moment as I relfect upon one infoUSA (IUSA).The company, which operates salesgenie.com and peddles various marketing lists, elicits in me the great, dichotomous emotions of investing: greed and fear.

We live in a world that offers temptations at every turn. It is easy to ruin a great thing as the result of greed. However, if you are careful from the beginning you can establish your real estate investment business in a manner that encourages and even rewards altruism rather than breeding an environment that is ripe for greed to take hold.The problem with real estate is that in order to get the really good deals we sometimes have to be a little ‘unfeeling’. That doesn’t mean that you can’t be compassionate or identify with the feelings of those selling their homes, particularly if they are at risk of losing their homes and/or any equity they may have had in their homes. At the same time you must harden your heart to some degree in order to get the best value for your money. This

Good morning to all my readers. It is Monday Morning and time to put on thinking cap. There has been lot of inflows in the last few months and with this the bulls were creating new records and sensex was moving from one milestone to another.This has bought in new expectations from the investors and they are so high, it is akin to asking Yuvaraj to hitting six sixes an over every time he comes in to bat. Investors now want 50% to 100% returns in less than a month. Is this possible ? No.....It is expecting very high returns in quick time. Normally if you get a return of anything above 20% in a year, it is considered as good returns in stock market since we get less than 10% in an FD.However there have been many stocks in the past few months which have given more than 50% returns in less than 2 months and some even 100% returns. I had infact given 100% returns as target for one year but they were achieved in a month.Now investors are caught in two minds, Fear and Greed. They fear that st

It is a question that the average Christian has been asking since the "American Dream" was first dreamed. American consumerism tells us that we need more, and that if we don't want more, then there must be something wrong with us. Even the church is split on this issue of "how much money is enough". On one side, you have the poverty-minded groups that think that money is evil, and that financial poverty is the way to Godliness. Then you have the "Health-and-Wealth" gospel folks that believe that if you are not filthy rich, then you must have some sort of sin in your life that is holding back God's blessing.I don't believe that either of these is the truth, and both sides could use a little lesson in proper exegesis and hermeneutics of the scriptures. As we look at the fourth qualification for the manager-leader, we come across a requirement to be "not greedy for dishonest gain." While much can be said about money itself, the point that I will make is that "money" is not evil, but th

There once was a boy named Tim who lived in a small rural town in the United States. Tim had ambition and dreams larger than any town could contain. In fact, it was well known that when Tim was only seven years old, he sold lemonade via IOUs with a 10 percent note to thirsty construction workers and would not accept cash. He would only accept payment on the note via cash after the purchase. To him, this was called building a cash-flowing portfolio like his rich dad had taught him. The construction workers took further notice of Tim when his small brown ply wood shop turned into a storefront with granite countertops and shiny marble floors. They wanted in on the action and Tim sensed this desire from his largest customers. He decided that he would package the IOUs into lemonade hedge funds (LHF) and sell them back to the workers paying them a six percent return. Tim at a very young age had the insight of credit arbitrage. He was already getting a steady stream of ten p
For those of us who maintain that there is some value in keeping our life insurance licenses unscathed and not getting our pants sued off, the life settlement business has just been one of those things that just hangs out there.
The life settlement business has created a whole new breed of insurance agent. For those that aren’t familiar, a life settlement happens when a person sells their term life insurance policy to a third party. When this happens, the term life policy is converted to a universal life policy. The insured receives compensation from the life settlement company for a policy that would have likely lapsed with no value anyway. That seems like a pretty OK thing to do.
So, the agent gets a commission from the conversion of the term policy. Just to put that into context, a conversion is generally a very nice payday for almost no work. But, if an agent chooses, they can place your business with a life settlement company that will give them a portion of the settlement,

The following article should help place American Foreign Policy in perspective of the true values of America:According to the latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice, more than two million men and women are now behind bars in the United States. The country that holds itself out as the "land of freedom" incarcerates a higher percentage of its people than any other country. The human costs — wasted lives, wrecked families, troubled children — are incalculable, as are the adverse social, economic and political consequences of weakened communities, diminished opportunities for economic mobility, and extensive disenfranchisement.Contrary to popular perception, violent crime is not responsible for the quadrupling of the incarcerated population in the United States since 1980. In fact, violent crime rates have been relatively constant or declining over the past two decades. The exploding prison population has been propelled by public policy changes that have increased the us
I often write about corporate greed and irresponsible behaviour. Today I am happy to bring you a tale of a good corporate citizen. One single person who, using his power as a corporate leader, will make a difference in the lives of 1000’s of lives here in Toronto.
For those of you not familiar with the current fiscal battles taking place in Toronto this year, the politicians here, in a snit of financial irresponsibility were set to close all the outdoor skating rinks in the city. This may not seem important to people in warmer areas, but here in Toronto, outdoor rinks are part of the city’s fabric. Outdoor rinks are popular centres in over 40 spots in Toronto - the home of many impromptu shinny games and family skating outings. Shinny - for the uninitiated - is the great Canadian sport of outdoor hockey. The best hockey games in the country are not played in arenas, nor are the best figure skaters to be found there. Look to the local rink, lips chattering with cold, feet tu

Aristotle (384 – 322 B.C.) Greek philosopher
Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Luke 12:15Greed is defined as a selfish excessive or uncontrolled desire for possession or pursuit of money, wealth, food, or other possessions at the expense of another person's welfare.

People who trade will typically view fear and greed as the enemy. However, there are some good parts of these emotions. It is very important that we as traders identify the methods the emotions affect how we trade. Then we can learn to hedge against the negative and leverage the positive. So now let’s identify the good and negative methods in which fear and greed control our trading.
The Dark side:
- Fear causes us to stop on our wins, fearing we will lose our profits.
- Being greedy causes us to ignore our money management regulations and exposes our portfolios to the possibility of catastrophic losses.
- Fear causes us to lay aside, having not pulled the trigger, even though the opportunity matched our criteria.
- Fear will lead us to get rid of our stop loss and keep going in a bad trade, while we hope for it to go back up.
- Greed will make us do bad trades that go against the rules we have set.
- Fear will make us believe that we will never profit and will make us stop tradi
I had a Great weekend!
I hope everyone enjoyed their barbecues and gatherings this past weekend. I was very busy with several things; of course, visiting family and friends.
