Fiat Linea TV Commercial

Lyrics of Fiat Linea TV Commercial (father & son goes something like this:

I liked this advertisement very much ! http://www.youtube.com/?v=ec1DyHNwfKg

was an ordinary day then you came by
looking so fine oh you were divine
now i'm stuck at the sight of you
stuck at the thought of you
there's a voice from inside
saying youre the best
my heart doesn't need to know
so i will just scream
cause i'm stuck at the sight of you
stuck at the thought of you
stuck so stuck...

Sex and Sensex

I had come across this funny post some time back., so sharing with you all ! A nice, smart, double meaning comparison of Sex with Sensex !

1) Some like it long, some like it short.
2) You can study the market as much as you like, but it all comes down to luck.
3) Those who talk about it the most, have the least experience.
4) One simple mistake could lead to 18 unprofitable years.
5) Some prefer to sit back and watch it grow.
6) Terms include swing trading, asset turnover, naked call, after hours, insider trading, silent partner, blind entries, 30-day wash rule, straddle, triangles, descending tops, ascending bottoms, pump and dump, partial surrender, stop order, position limit, voluntary liquidation, and explicit interest.
7) Low confidence can keep you out of the market.
8) Everyone tends to focus on performance.
9) Some do it alone, others do it with a group, and some hire professionals, and the best reason ...
10) Some positions are better than others and the best position is always up for debate!

And remember, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Stock Molestors on the prowl

Stock molestors are really busy nowadays... they create a bad news, hit the stock and buy it back at lower level - make a clean profit !

They select around 3-5 stocks a day, rip it, create chaos, fear and leave the trail of damage !

Unfortunately, some of their background news have proved right Like Citi, Unitech etc. So, one can not simply wish away them.

Chennai auto fare - daylight robbery

Chennai autorickshaw fare remains as a day light robbery. It goes unabated for so many years. Latest instance points to reduction in fuel prices not passed to commuters.

Minimum fare unofficially charged at Rs.25/-; In the last one year, fares have gone up atleast 25%.

This is significant when MTC reported highest ever passenger traffic on Feb 1, to the tune of 50.5 Lakh passengers which resulted in 2 Crore rupee of ticket sale.

Sensex Outlook - Feb 2009

Stocks might move in a range between 8500 to 10,200 in February. I do not expect Sensex to move below 8200 in Feb. ITC, Cipla, Zee might outperform. Mid-caps might also perform well in expectation of Futures Lot Size change effect in March 2009.

Buy on Dips would work well rather on buy on gap up openings !

Gold has rallied smartly and i dont think it can sustain above 940 USD over a period of time. It might be able to hold these rates due to Institutional support rather than strong demand in retail shops.

Watch out for Emerging markets trend - I feel China, Korea stocks are not falling much and able to hold on despite bad sentiment in USA. Whether India would join them is the key question to be answered over next 3 months....

Tribute to Nagesh

You made us to smile
You made us to laugh
You made us to cry
You made us proud

You acted with stars
yet made your identity
You acted with beauties
yet made us to follow you

You acted with legends
yet made your mark
You worked with great directors
Yet you worked wonders on us

You are too unique
you are too wonderful
you are too lovely
you are too addictive

No need for any padmas
No need for any sahebs
No need for any mamanees
You are in our heart for ever

Australian Open 2009

Australian Open 2009

I enjoyed this season of Australian Open 2009 fully barring the two walk over episodes; I liked the way Tsonga & Verdasco played their matches; Serena over-powered her opponents and won the tournament. But i felt little sad for Safina - she has to overcome her slow start attitude; Fairy tale come back of Jelena Dokic was wonderful; I am looking forward to see more of Carlo Suarez Navarro - dont you feel her left hand back hand shots are similar to Fedex? ;

To an affectionate fan like me, Sad to see Fedex disappearing into Sunset.... He was too good through the fortnight until the 5th set against Nadal.... and I could not digest the way he lost the rhythm..... Was he nervous, emotional, desperate for victory... I could not figure out.

As life moves on, we will find another player to say - wow soon. But it would take a while for some one to match the grace of Fedex !

But the star of the tournament was undoubtedly Rafa Nadal - what a great two weeks he had ! He is so muscular to pull off 9h 45m of touch tennis in three days... Great job man.... You are wonderful.
