    The White Elephant That Could Destroy Your Portfolio, Part I [view article]
    I'm back here now that a month and a half has passed. One of the posters pointed out to me that being taxed on your gains can be a problem (and I agree) but I thought about what has happened to all of those investors that have over the past six weeks, lost so much money that they wish they had something to tax. If you've seen my SLW posts, I've been loading and unloading that stock as it channels between $14 and $15.30. Q4, I go long SLW. To those that followed my previous public blog, thanks for the occasional mention that you miss reading it everyday. That means a lot to me, and I've seen your posts. Reply

    TIPS are baloney because government-controlled inflation measures are baloney. Reply

    As long as these securities are linked to numbers published by their own issuers, I'll stay away. Reply

    Do rising interest rates, in a rising inflationary environment, have the same negative effect on linkers bond prices, as they do on regular bond prices ??

    The Government should issue a Zero coupon TIP that includes energy and food into the CPI calculation. Reply

    Strange you fail to mention that issuers of inflation protected bonds seem to have "odd" notions of inflation rates and how to measure them or how to reflect the inflation in the bond yields. The US for instance finds the TIPS has not real yield and pushes all of the yield into the inflation adjustment which is, interestingly, only 4.2% currently. No one believes that is true on either count. Fictions and fiddling are common if not required to make things appear fair to consumers. Your analysis is not helpful since cheating by governments and manipulation of fiat currency are the rot at the heart of most policy. You reported half, of less, of the story. Reply

    Has anyone considered a simple reason for all the failings of India - The usage of "English" language by the government, intellectuals, the industrialists, the decision makers, even the Films and TV media?

    Imagine common people in US understanding "english" and the government, industry, intellectuals operating operating like "French" people using French language! How innovative US would be??

    Thanks for your time.     Reply

    Argentina to Default? [view article]
    Morons who use this posting to bash President Bush are part of the problem in the US and I wish them on Argentina. The USA which is not even faintly like Argentina and there is no comparison between our political system and Argentina's. There will be no default since the government will what is required to meet its current account debts even if it ruins the long run welfare of the country. That can not happen in the US. Reply

    Dear sir,

    I am an Indian Airforce engineerand innovator having 20 yrs exp on the maintenance of the flying machines. I have designed a vehicle that moves up straight to any height on the earth. It needs earth's contact to travel up . Hence it's journey is limited to the heights on the earth. It's journey is speedy, very smooth and it can carry great loads or passengers up. . This is the ultimate in the hill transportation technology. I visualise the mt everest a tourist destinastion in very near future. This vehicle is absolutely weatherproof . Wind ,rain or freezing temp has no effrect on this. That is why I say that this machine will realise the commonman's dream to be on the top of the world with complete safety and in cheapest possible way.It has a great tourism potential on the Himalaya,the european Alps and other peaks of the world .It will make the settlement on the inaccisible peaks much easier .For example the movement of a truckload of cement or passenger load from the punjab plains to the hights in Himachal eg .Shimla can be transported in 30 minutes flat at the fraction of the cost by the road transport.This machine is capable of making living much cheaper and comfortable than in the plains .I have tested the concept several times and each trial promises new use of the vehicle. It can revolutionise the mining industries by lifting the ore etc from the depth at the fraction of the cost by the present methods .

    What is so interesting about this article to me are the comments. And I suspect mark (correct me if I'm wrong) is attempting to motivate us smart Indians into solving Indians woes through innovation. As someone had put it "blamestorming&qu... - so much “ink” used for congratulating or correcting mark.

    Raised entirely in the US (over 40 years), I've just started working closely with some really talented and clever group in India. I had a lot of expectations but one I was not prepared was the aversion from doing it differently. Like American investors – a school of fish. Enough said.

    My idea …

    Hey you new billionaires, how about backing an organization whose agenda is to combat the top ten social, economical and environmental problems that are suffocating India.

    Fund only the vetting, assessment and marketing of ideas. Then throw the ideas into the public domain (dare I say open) for someone else to implement. At some point this meat grinder would gain some traction and provide the genesis of a new way of positioning problems. A 10year plan before shutting it down. (Details to follow in a white paper or global summit)

    With the execution in somebody else’s hands with an alternate motivation to implement. Maybe, just maybe this could get India out of the “British raj stupor” (service only nation) and start having Indians start doing for India what they have done for other nations. (my apologies for the editorial rant)

    A similar article from PIMCO,s Bill Gross state that the official inflation numbers are fraudulent.

    and all of the people some of the time,

    I prefer to trust Bill Gross and Paul Volcker rather than Greenspan and Bernanke who just care about their Wall Street friends.     Reply
