crushing defeat in the hands of ausies

today ie on feb 1 india saw the most ever crushing defeat in the hands of australia in the 20 20 match that was played at melbourne. one thing am very happy about is that atleast india managed to surpast the lowest score ever made at 20 20 by the kenya against new zealand which was 73.
no body in the indian side were able to withstand the ausie bolwing especially one must really appreciate their feilding today. it was awesome and they were right on the target especially the sehwag run out made by their skipper clarke. it was an awesome throw that was hit far from the stumps.
india just managed to take nly one wicket og ausies at the end givin the new debut player of india to take one wiket in his career. over all it was a very bad show that was put up and aus managed to wrap up the whole match in the 11th over itself. it can be rightly called as 10 10 instead of 20 20 as the match got over in almost 2 and half hours!!!!!

why did stick market crash????

Black Monday saw bloodbath on Dalal Street as the Indian stock markets crashed by over 1430 points in afternoon trade (the market has since then recovered somewhat), reminding investors that there is no one-way bet on the stock market.

Why did this huge fall happen?

Many factors. One, there is a change in the global investment climate. One of the primary triggers is the huge fear of the United States' economy going into a recession with foreign institutional investors trying to reallocate their funds from risky emerging markets to stable developed markets. Analysts are now expecting a cut in US interest rates.

Hedge funds and FIIs could have been the biggest sellers in the Indian markets, booking profits and making the most of the unprecedented bull run that has dominated the Indian stock market for a long time now.

The current volatility is also linked to global bourses. There is a big correlation among global markets. The presence of hedge funds across asset classes, along with increased global movement of capital, has increased event-related volatility.

Volatility in commodities markets has also significantly affected equity markets.

A combination of global and local factors is affecting this market, said Mihir Vora of HSBC Mutual Fund, on NDTV Profit. On the global front, other emerging markets were down nearly 20% so India is playing catch-up, he said.

On the local front there has been a huge build-up in derivatives positions and volatility led to margin calls. Also many IPOs have sucked out liquidity from the primary market into the secondary market, said Vora. At current levels it would be a buy call and we would not advise investors to wait to catch the bottom, he added.

How long will the markets keep falling?

Analysts expect the markets to continue to be choppy for a while till global liquidity and commodity prices settle in. With the markets falling, a technical correction in the derivatives segment has perpetrated a larger fall.

The Sensex can fall another 10-15%, said Adrian Mowat of JP Morgan, on NDTV Profit.

India is trading at 65% premium to emerging markets and India is playing catchup with other declining global markets, he added. There is no need to get very pessimistic that this is the end of equity investing in India, he said. This could be seen as a buying opportunity and we will re-visit market valuations after the correction, he added.

India cannot escape a global meltdown. With fears of an impending US recession high, no country is likely to be spared.

Apple unveils world's slimmest laptop - weighing just 3lbs

Apple has unveiled the world's slimmest laptop computer - the Mac-Book Air. The £1,199 computer, which measures three quarters of an inch at its thickest point, has a 13.3in screen and a full-size keyboard. The machine, available in two weeks, can be ordered from today. "We've built the world's thinnest notebook without sacrificing a full-size keyboard or a full-size display," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.
"It's hard to believe it's a high-performance notebook. It's an amazing feat of engineering."

Apple also announced that its new online film rental service will make movies available for watching on computers, current-generation iPods or iPhones.
Customers will be able to download films from iTunes Movie Rentals to watch within 30 days of renting. Once it has started playing, the film must be watched within 24 hours.
"Most of us watch movies once, maybe a few times, and renting is a great way to do it," said Mr Jobs. "It is less expensive and doesn't take up space on our hard drive when we are done."
New films will be available from Apple Movie Rentals 30 days after their release on DVD. A 1,000-title catalogue will be on offer for U.S. customers by the end of February. The service starts in the U.S. today and will be made available internationally later this year.
With the backing of all the major film studios including Paramount, Disney, Universal and 20th Century Fox, the scheme could mean the end for DVDs, say experts.
"This could make the battle for the next-generation DVD irrelevant," said Stuart Miles of gadget website Pocket Lint.
"This is a clear sign from Apple and the film studios that they believe physical discs will simply go away, in the same way downloads have replaced the music CD."

How Stock Market Works!!!

It was autumn, and the Red Indians asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be like .
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.

But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is Going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service Responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?" "Absolutely, " The Man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy."

This is how the stock markets work!!!
