He's more famous for his fractal geometry than his experience in economics. If you want, you can cite the recent Nobel laureates in economics, and their Mechanical Design Theory. This does indeed point out some flaws in free market economics, but free market advocates point out that the flaws in free markets are easier to correct than the flaws in controlled command economies. 301754@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:12:01 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301751 Alright, Aaman; You gave SK the moment of enjoyment. What's your lowdown on what is happening to the market in your country? 301751@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:59:32 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301743 I dont understand shares or the market or anything connected with ups and down connected with it. A strange incident connected with today's market happened yesterday. I woke up yesterday with a gut feeling that the market would fall drastically,so strong was the feeling that before the opening bell I insisted that my husband should pull out all his money to the last penny. For a change he took my advice andpulled out all his money . He was thrilled this morning seeing the drastic fall in the market. Moral of the story do'nt always turn a deaf ear to your wife's advice she may be right too 301743@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:42:49 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301742 The data I have seen shows the problem is far worse than you describe, but I'll let you bask in your moment of relief:) 301742@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:32:12 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301739 Hi There, You missed a couple of points: 1)only PNs with derivatives as underlying assets were banned. 2)They have the option to be unwound over 18 months (last 2 months inflows $6.5 billion) so not that big a burden 3)Foren institution r invited to be registered as FIIs by the SEBI 4)Most of PNs in last few months was speculation on the NIFTY/SENSEX futures.Highly volataile So they r aiming to curb volataility rather than hinder the investers(both local n foren) Cheers RALLY worth 1400 pts 301739@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:20:09 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301722 Is the market still in a problem mode in India? 301722@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 08:38:04 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301712 Now, don't target the already-haunted communists, poor fellows don't even make enough money for themselves, try the world to be seen as patriotic and concerned, yet fall flat!! 301712@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:20:37 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301696 quite likely, it's the overall Communist bear hug 301696@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 02:24:38 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/10/17/011138.php#comment-301695 Maybe it's the collapse of the Nuclear Deal? 301695@desicritics.org Wed, 17 Oct 2007 02:19:05 EDT
