Warning it up...

by warming it up!!!
From the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) – a regular occurrence in the Northern Hemisphere – to the inconceivable spin that a certain Muttiah Muralitharan extracts on a cricket pitch, nature, however inconspicuous, has played its part. Greek philosopher Aristotle highlighted nature’s importance, stating, “In all things of nature, there is something of the marvellous.” Humans, however, have perennially underestimated it, as a result of which, matters are definitely heating up in not the best of ways. Case in point: The winter in the Northern Hemisphere; bitterly cold in the past, was uncharacteristically warm this year.

Is United States ‘housing’ a new improved crisis?

As delinquency ratio of sub-prime borrowers rise, the worse in housing is yet to come I think we are moving toward one of the most fascinating period in economic history. It will also be a time during which most investors will end up with huge losses.

Let me explain, the shares of most sub prime lenders already peaked out in late 2004. Throughout 2006, it became increasingly evident that conditions in the housing market were deteriorating. But investors kept on buying these stocks because the P/Es were low and analysts continued to recommend them, and because the Fed kept on telling investors that the worst in the housing market was over!

THE HUMAN VIEW POINT

It had been an exhaustive day, follow up meeting, post-follow-up assessment and then the fault-finding, blame game session. 34-year-old Suneel Kumar, the superstar of the company mumbled in disappointment, “No recognition for sincere effort, on top of it, the office politics, huh…,” he lamented. His company had heavily banked on his talent ever since he had joined it a decade ago. Back then, Suneel was a young rookie with fine exposure any IT company would have wanted onboard. What caught his eye, apart from the company’s brand, was the recruitment ad of the company, a few specs of which read:

_ Ability to work in a fast-paced, rapidly changing

_ High standard of confidentiality, accuracy, and attention to detail with excellent follow-up skills.

_ Motivated, self-starter who can work independently.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MR. REDDY?

The eternal dilemma that haunts central bankers across the globe is the choice between growth and inflation. The line that is drawn, goes on to reflecton the economic health of a nation in the long run. Alas, India seems to have drawn a line, which literally tears apart the possibility of growth, and most importantly, fair growth, across sectors and socio-economic classes...

What’s common between the infamous coach of the Indian cricket team, Greg Chappell, and the highly respected Governor of the Reserve Bank of India Y. V. Reddy? Both seem to be confusing Third World India as a First World powerhouse of performance. Chappell was convinced that ‘imposing’ an Australian coaching regime would transform Team India into world beaters. He failed miserably. Y. V. Reddy seems to think that imposing ‘American’ style monetary policy controls would tame inflation. There is a real danger of Reddy failing as spectacularly as Chappell. Chappell’s failure has enraged and inflamed cricket fans; but their wallets and livelihoods have not been affected. Reddy’s failure could have disastrous consequences for the economy.

Dressed, but dangers abound!!!

They went global, didn’t care about India. They don’t
even bother about ‘brand image’. Now stop laughing!
How oft en do you find yourself excited and at a loss for words when you hear of some lesser known company announcing an IPO? How often? Now listen to this – Gokuldas Exports Ltd. (GEL, an apparel exporting company) has announced that it will enter the capital market with an IPO of 3.125 million shares; the price of which will be determined through a book-building route. Excited, are you?!?!

Listen further. It’s the largest apparel exporter with a scintillating list of clients that include brands such as Nike, GAP, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercombie, Fitch, and retailers such as Wal-Mart, Sears & Metro Group. Now did some enthusiasm seep in? Cut to January 1, 2005 and India became a main beneficiary of the post quota regime. To steal the show from China, Indian textile titans were gung-ho to strengthen their financial muscles. Not to be left out, Gokaldas joined this bandwagon of fund generation. “China was the main threat, but it was not under WTO, and so that was the perfect time.
