…it’d now be worth $2,200. Basically…my investment would be nearly down by 50%. I am wondering if it’s really wise to keep any money in the market at all. Perhaps there is a wiser way to invest. Albeit, lesser profits but safer.

All, I can say is WOW! We still haven’t recovered from the .Com bubble bust. Just look at the chart below…

I wonder how long we’ll take to recover from this recession. It’s an epic fail of Efficient Market Hypothesis.

This is not the actual representation. But a very vague one at best…

My dad sent me this simple short video with a simple short message – Wish you a very happy and prosperous new year!

This is a really cool TED talk! I don’t know if it’s enlightening or entertaining or thought provoking or none or all of the above. It was very unique and since I come from India and it’s almost 10 years of me living in a Western country my thought process is a little too mixed. I however know the nuances in each school of thought…probably the best thing to gain from exposure and diversity. Watch and let me know what you think…
