Ah! everyone's talking bout d meter down thingie!
Gosh! I've been pretty much interested in economics, but d stocks - nevva! except the blinking blue and red bars on d screens which I see flashing across :P looks pretty interesting though (one of my simple patents was into search and extraction of data, presenting in a user-friendly format (details on request :D)) - guess I gotta dive into this sea of knowledge too :P
hmmm..... so was just listening to some Mr. Tamal Bandhopadhyay(bureau chief, Mumbai HT-Mint) who was trying to calm down panicky people in this time of crisis (ummm.. d last I remember about this bandwagon was the time when some Harshad Mehta came into news :P....) and discussing about the fall starting around Dec 26, 2007 and taking the nose dive plunge right on Jan 10, 2008 and after following the American NasDaq / Dow Jones (God! m so happy.. now I know a few "financial terms" d'oh not going beyond my lovely ET or http://marketinfo.livemint.com or not so read-by-me Financial times:P), and something about mid-term n long-term investors, and the grey-market.....
hehe...okies... well dats coz of d pals around in office who are almost always browsing moneycontrol.com and similar sites, scratching heads, doing certain mental / paper-ical calculations, a sight which would have easily given Einstein a complex, and suddenly getting up, or sitting down, and dialling some numbers reminiscing me of a BSF-Jawan (soldier) who has been staring across the border for some signs of movement, and frantically calling up the headquarters (no pun-intended, and with due respect to my adorable Indian Army), and then sloppily going back to the monitors looking for more signs of "activity"..... n the chit chat about "aj sensex itne point lurka" (today, the sensex crashed by these many points) and the reports like "After what appeared like another day of mayhem, the Indian stock market restricted losses to 875.41 points as funds and investors returned to Dalal Street, lapping up fundamentally strong scrips available at lower levels......... The Sensex has now slumped more than 25 per cent from its closing peak on January 8, joining benchmarks in Asia and Europe into a bear market and extending a global selling."!
Hmmm..... the world economy in turr-moi-L, i was just sitting there and wondering of some idea how one could benefit the investors ASAP in this time - already the alerts etc are there -all on TV, mobiles/ messengers/ emails etc etc.....
What else????? Besides market intelligence, sheer luck, and the timely notification of the "mausam ki jaankaari"(financial weather report), what else can help 'em.....?
Well, I might be sounding too "fin-challenged", but yeah! that's d truth lolz, guess whatever analysis must be going behind all the research done must be on d basis of certain key parameters, calculating variance et al!
Uhh! gotta study all this - thinking, right now m back to d flashing news screens .. all red n blue, and blinking with 'em, trying to figure out something :D
Meter down, down, down! what a difficult writeup for me! Gurl, u need to brush up d basics [even excuse moi for d spelling mishtakhes here :P]!
