16 Stocks That Are Paying My College Tuition

none of your picks are the popular ones and I am curious to know how do you pick stocks, I mean your philosophy. I like your spreadsheet, I have been looking over places to get good data and this is gr8. BTW, I am fellow gator IE and preparing for GMAT -- Nice to see engineering fellas in stocks.

India's Strong Growth Should Continue

I see a disconnect between these two statements:

"FIIs have invested over 150 billion US dollars in the Indian Equity Market in the last decade, of which they redeemed only 7 billion US dollars in the last 6 months. This is 4.6% of the total dollar amount still invested in the Indian Stocks."

"credit crisis back in the US and some of the FIIs started booking profits and sending money back to the home country. And this happened in a bit of a hurry leading to panic and finally a market crash."

I don't think $7B is enough money to send back to US or any other country to recover from sluggish economy and banking crisis.

I think Indian markets are too speculative and sentimental....I agree that the valuations were blown out and currently it is going through a correction phase and I wouldn't be surprised if BSE drops around 10K.
