Bail Out And Bonus


The stimulus package relieved the sinking companies from failure.

A good proportion of the tax payers money comprised  the bail out.

The economy slightly deviated from the fall to  look north.

The strain  experienced during this refreshing period  was  hectic.

The turmoil felt  while undergoing  the convalescence  was a discouraging  redundancy.

But before the tears could dry up, there happens an unexpected distraction .

It is that of disbursement of bonus to the executives of the companies which have utilised the aid by the way of stimulus.

Barack Obama has expressed his displeasure  about this issues.

Discarding the governments warning,bonus has been liberally distributed.

Obama has to condone this  inclination.

He has to take action.

Mere words would not create  a sensation.

The prime duty of the administration is to check this shell out .

Weather And Temper -A Behavourial Study


Seasons affect your temper to a great extent.

A balmy breeze keeps you in sedentary mood,which includes peace and contentment.

A rainy day  instigates mirth and glee, which denotes a lovely spirit.

A windy  wind provokes fear ,which indicates awe and gloom.

A cool  environs intoxicate ,which marks a very high inclination.

A sultry weather dispels energy,which points out to extreme exhaustion .

A scorching heat  disorient the mind,which revels on dizziness and  frenzy.

The discriminations in climate have a telling  effect and an authoritative dictum on human behaviour.

We should not constrain to human idiosyncracies alone, but also  on the entire habitation outlook.

That which happens to man, responsively occurs on other living beings also.

Thus the climate plays  a significant role on the happenings of the world at large.

The summit on climate ,held recently, discussed ways to bring in a harmonic appraisal on global warming.

The output was not encouraging.

There was no consensus as  to the finality of seeking mehtods to eradicate carbon emission.

Much efforts by Obama, though at the last moment ,did  not produce the desired effect.

The world’s total indifference to the environment will lead to deterioration of the  climate.

In 2009 we witnessed ,earthquakes, floods and droughts ,in all parts of the world.

In 2010, with only 15  days of the calendar, there was7.0 magnitude of earthquake in Haiti, devouring 1000 lives, rendering thousand homeless.

The quick succession of such happenings  give us a shock.

We stand helpless.

We see  death.

We hear cries.

We feel the pain.

But we do nothing.

Think Out Of Box


Mulling and mangling the economy takes a trial ride.

Well, what is it up to?

Sitting in the midst of all chaos , the  relegated decrying economy is struggling to survive.

Gold is a safe bet, call  the advisors.

But how many can buy gold at this level/

Stocks showed som improvement, but not a forceful ,aggressive one.

The liquid cash is not circulated enough to bring the standard of economy to salubrious reach.

What should we do?

Work , earn, save and sleep.

The investment in gold id not physical it is all in paper.

The paper is doing the mischief.

Buy gold today for $1158/ounce.

Tomorrow sell it at $1170/ounce.

You make a clean profit of $12/ounce..without spending a dollar.

This transaction has made the genuine buyer run away from the metal.

Suspend the future trading  for a few months on a trial basis ,all over the world, the markets will stabilise.

The trading on paper is akin to an imaginative artist who is capable to make the real unreal.

So that which does not happen happens.

Is this not a solution for this crisis?

Think in length .

Answer in short.

Love Of Gold


Goldy Gold  is radiant,

Goldy Gold  is infectious,

Goldy Gold is  but a commodity.

The Economy As It Looks


A close perception of the economy ,presents a vivid dizzy picture.

Economy has flagged off , on one hand.

Economy appears meek ,on the other hand.

There is a rise in the market trading, not a phenomenal surge, but a decent up.

The prediction that 2010, will be of great interest ,financially and socially should happen.

The commercial discrimination is highly vulnerable. The small prick here , a little distraction there will bring a catastrophe.

The economy fell a prey to the capricious.

It cracked due to  deceit.

The manufacturing spree did not tremble at any time. The economy was not subdued by the industrial  activity.

When the GDP was  3%, the investment was about80%.The haste in acquiring portfolios was so immense, that the intrinsic intricacy of the share value was missed. The buoyancy was overwhelming. When there was a slight ruffle, during the sub prime crisis, there was an even more emphatic movement in selling ,The realisation was only 50%.forcing the financial to fold.

There was no reading of the investment proposals. There  was no realisation of the input and output.There was only greed.

The dire quality of accumulating whatever comes in the way,  hoarding whichever intercepts, storing whenever possible , has made economy a falling pack of cards.

As cards fell, the situation went out of control.There was an ignominious splash, an incorrigible disaster.

Now, the economy has been dressed up with the stimulus package. The fractured body has been put in a cast.The tear has been stitched.

The performance of the stitch is yet to be known.

Will the economy survive  without the promptings of the bail out package?

It looks it will sustain .

It also seems, it will have many falls before it straightens up.

The future of the economy is in the investor’s hands more than in the administration.

Iceland’s Nobility.


The Ice save scheme ,the internet arm of Iceland Bank ,failed in October 2008.

The Dutch and british savers lost their money.

The original agreement drawn between the affected nations and the failed bank  was rejected by the savers.

The Iceland government was put in a severe context, that it had to pass a referendum in the parliament,seeking each citizen to pay 12,000 euros,thus enabling the return of the money.

The 320,000 populous  of the island nation are penalised for the bank’s mistake, voice a few.

25%,of the people  have signed the petition, the rest have to ,though with strong objection.

This repayment ,will almost be at par with the expenses meted out by the central health services.

The nation is fuming and fretting .

The bill has been passed by a narrow margin.

The Icelanders have to pay till 2024,which amounts for 40%of GDP.

The economy of a nation is governed by a referendum.

A little amusing, but mostly sounds disturbing.

The population has to abide by the rules set by the nation.

The hard-earned money has to go to the treasury to save the nation.

Impractical and unintelligible,feel most of the Icelanders.

But ,considering the honour of the nation, they cannot sit back

Nobility has been forced down their throttle.

Yes ,greatness has been thrusted upon them.

A Consortium


A combination relevant,

A constellation approved,

A system endorsed,

Form a consortium.

 

 

A group of lenders,

Mostly a host of bankers,

Mainly a committee of financial reserve,

Structure a consortium.

 

 

A column of policies,

A compilation of rules,

An extension of principles,

Render a consortium.

 

 

An alteration in loans,

A modification of customary credit,

An amalgamation of fund flow,

Elaborate the consortium.

 

 

A mutual admission,

A comprehensive appreciation,

A composed credibility,

Sequence a consortium.

 

 

A scrupulous  follow-up,

A timely rendition,

An accurate work out,

Gather the consortium.

 

An association of  ventures,

A syndication of patents,

A pooling of  investments,

Link a consortium.

Man Of The Year


Times magazine has nominated Bernanke as the Man of the Year.

The citation reads that it is he who has averted the tumble-down of the economy by introducing stimulus  package along with Henry Paulson.

This comes in time, when his reappointment as Chairman of Federal  Reserve. , is being put up in the Senate Banking committee.

The committee flogged him for his dormancy when the banks hit the hilt with bad loans.

Today , he has been addressed as Man of the year.

Contradictory  is it not?

Bernanke himself accepts  that there is truth in both views.

The Fed slipped  while overseeing the safety and soundness of banks.He quips without the massive bail outs the nation would have diffused in a murky economic crisis. He and Paulson have worked on these plans to pull out the country from dire consequences.

Bernanke deserves this plaudits.

To err is human , but to correct oneself after acknowledging the error is greatness.

Bernanke has done just that.

His success lies on his rationality.

Banking On Bankers


“Rescue the Nation” is the clarion call of Obama  to the bankers.

The banking sector has done well ,with the bail out package .

Citi and Wells Fargo group have declared to pay off the TARP funds by selling securities.

Almost 75% of the $245 billion would be repaid by the banks.

As the tax payer has helped the banks to  work profits and become liberated , now the President feels is the duty of the bankers to help the nation.

Obama is sadly mistaken.

The bankers will never take a step forward to resurrect the nation.

They are indulging in selling securities and stocks to keep the Fed at bay.

Thus they can loosen the clutches of the government and escape the regulatory body’s attention.

They can now make heavy bargains on salary, perks and bonus.

The bankers will manipulate, will be prompted by greed, will be instigated by malice  to fill up their coffers.

They will be busy in their own way, preoccupied in their own deceit, that the thought to get back the nations on its feet will naturally fall short of their terms.

Obama is innocent to believe them.His call will fall on deaf ears . He will definitely be mortified  by the bankers .

He has to eat  a humble pie.

Nice To Give


It is nice to give certain times. But mostly we like to receive.

The joy of giving is inexplicable.It is real charm to extend help in the form of cash, in the method of kind, in the way o speech.

Yes,giving is extraordinary.

We never understand this part of cheer , as mostly we are bent upon getting things , making  others slog for us , working moves to corroborate actions that would augur well for us.

It is the’ I ‘that keeps us moving, that marks us react, that forces us to calculate.

But once ,you set aside the’ I’ , in’ you,’ it is a fabulous reconstruction of yourself. 

A grand  invitation awaits you and you gear up for a new incarnation of yourself.

Well , that being so, the gesture of Abu Dhabi, to help Dubai with $10 billion, to pay part of the debt  held by conglomerate Dubai World.bears a noble significance.

Abu Dhabi has taken a risk , by financing the crumbling neighbour. So , it is under pressure in its own way.

It did not prompt the Royal bank of Scotland and Standard chartered to provide loans to Dubai World.

It was not tempted by the real estate madness.

It kept a modest profile.

Yet it came out with the rescue.

Why?because it wanted its neighbour not to lose face.It wanted to save the Islamic financials from peril had the Nakheel bond failed today.

The Bail out has brought cheer all over  resulting the stocks to open higher in U.S and Asia.

True ,sometimes , giving is more attractive than receiving.

Giving sets you in a high platform and receiving keeps you a step down.

So extending aid to the most needed is the motivational force .

This willingness is enumerated in our Bible, in the Vedas and in the Holy Koran.

Hats off to Abu Dhabi!!!
