As a child, we have to face many a times the uneasy teasing of our fellow mates. It is in the nature of children, immaturity the obvious reason, to annoy an isolated poor fellow. Myself being a victim of those tantrums, once asked God why could not He make everyone around me a friend of mine for ever ! Why couldn't He tell my arrogant fellows in their dreams to make me their permanent companion! Within a week to my total disbelief, the two of most improbable candidates met me in person and told how God came to their dream and asked them to make me as their friend forever.
Though I have lost that pure proximity with God with passing age, but still reminds me of His silent PRESENCE around us.

Hi MOD,
Thanks for replying.
As regular boarders we have benefited a lot by MMB and we want to pay back our debt.This board has really some very intelligent & resourceful men and women boarders.If you pool their ideas and implement you would build a very strong and popular MMB.As an Indian I see tons and tons of indifference,lethargy,arrogance in all walks of life.I want at least MMB to be an exception in being transparent and interactive.When that is not happening I show my irritation.Nothing personal.
Please make use of at least few boarders to design the site.The spec for any product is made by the end users/customers and NOT the producer.Even if you incorporate one idea per month,we can make MMB formidable for many years.
Please break the shell,come and mingle with us freely.A leader should be seen and liked by the team
Regards,
New MMB v/s all the old MMBs

Our reply
My ten commandments(suggestions and requests):
1.Please be corresponding freely with us and exchange ideas.We are also for the growth of MMB.Do not behave like our elected representatives to assembly and parliament and show your face when you make the next alterations in Sep 2010
(MMB Moderator reply: Done from now one you will see us and hear from us everyday)
2.Why to kill our interest and creativity by destroying our home page? I do not think that even one soul is keen to know our CV typed in courier new 9 point size font.
(MMB Moderator reply: the home page was not destroyed only enhanced to aid better navigation)
3.Pl introduce the system of seeing a message and all replies to it under it.otherwise any reply should be mentioning 'in reply to so and so's message dated ***'.
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea... the reason we keep the thread format is because we don't want to disturb or break a conversation link)
The problem with current system is that if a thread is started by A on the Ist of a month and until 30 th B to Y reply to that and finally on 31st Z comes and replies to A 'You are an idiot',it creates doubts in the minds of B to Y that it is for them and worse still A thinks it is not for him
(MMB Moderator reply: The thread is structured in a way that you can see the immediate reply to the message posted.. so a message and all replies to that will be seen together.. in a thread.. it is a universal format on all messageboards)
4.It is also worth codifying all the message with one numeral(denoting year) four alpha system(running serial)viz 8ABCD.This can cover about 4.7 lakhs of messages per calender year
and drawing reference and searching would be easy.
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea will incoporate)
5.Storage our PM sent by us should also be provided
(MMB Moderator reply: that is still available.. its just not called inbox.. you can find it under Messages posted by you)
6.The address book concept is good.But I do not know how to load names of my choice in to them.Pl.explain
(MMB Moderator reply: This will be explained in detail in another message)
7.How about provision for some colorful icons expressing feelings?
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea will incoporate)
8.Since your policy to allow more than one ID to all,guest ID etc remain in tact,why cant you introduce a system of adding a mask icon to any guest ID who is also a regd boarder?
((MMB Moderator reply: hahaaa nice one technically wonder if its possible)
Also no guest ID should be allowed to criticize any regd boarder.
(MMB Moderator reply: definately will make sure that doesn't happen)
9.I think changing the rating system to more explicit one word comments would add colors:
The following seven to begin with:
Excellent
I agree
Humorous
Obscene
Nonsense
Objectionable
Irrelevant
(MMB Moderator reply: we will stick to five or else we will mess up earlier ratings... but nice idea thanks)
10.Pl.also delete the ids of those who do not post for more than three months in succession.It would at least clean the house and free some good nicks available to others. (MMB Moderator reply: ahhaaa can't do that... our boarders take long breaks and we try and coax them back)

Dear Atheist....
This one is for you...hope you enjoy it...(no strings attached...truly...)
GOD OR EVIL ?????
This has a thought provoking message no matter how you believe...
The professor of a university challenged his students with this question: \`Did God create everything that exists?\` A student answered bravely, \`Yes, he did!\`
The professor then asked, \`If God created everything, then he created evil. Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil.\` The student couldn\`t respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had \`proved\` that \`belief in a benevolent God\` was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, \`May I pose a question?\` \`Of course,\` answered the professor. The young student stood up and asked : \`Professor does cold exist?\` The professor answered, \`What kind of question is that? Of course cold exists... have you never been cold?\`
The young student answered, \`In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist as such. What we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if we don\`t have body heat or we are not hot.\`
\`And, does darkness exist?\`, he continued. The professor answered, \`Of course.\` This time the student responded, \`Again you\`re wrong, Sir. Darkness is, in reality, the absence of light. We can study light, but not darkness. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn\`t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.\`
Finally, the student asked the professor, \`Sir, does evil exist?\` Now uncertain, the professor responded, \`Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man\`s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.\`
The student responded, \`Evil does not exist, Sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold - a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. EVIL IS THE RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MAN DOES NOT HAVE GOD\`S LOVE PRESENT IN HIS HEART. IT\`S LIKE THE COLD THAT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO HEAT, OR THE DARKNESS THAT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO LIGHT.’

Hi RN PERI, BHAWANI,MOKSHAG and all the other women on this board
Sister by Birth or by Choice
A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,
drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As
they talked about life, about marriage, about the
responsibilities of life and the obligations of
adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her
glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance
upon her daughter.
'Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling
the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll
be more important as you get older. No matter how
much you love your husband, no matter how much you
love the children you may have, you are still going
to need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now
and then; do things with them.'
'Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women...
your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other
women relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Women
always do.'
What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman
thought. Haven't I just gotten married?
Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a
married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely
my husband and the family we may start will be all I
need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact
with her Sisters and made more women friends each
year. As the years tumbled by, one after another,
she gradually came to understand that her Mom really
knew what she was talking about. As time and nature
work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,
Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 40 years of living in this world,
here is what I've learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are
between you. A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the
valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended
family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and
neither would I. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other.and we always will

With Krishna jayanthi a few hours away it is my unbridled joy to put this before you :
dhumenavriyate vahnir yathadarso malena ca

[chapter 3, slokam 38]
Just like fire is enveloped by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or similar to the embryo that is enclosed in the womb, every living being is covered by different degrees of lust.
Greed in the markets has been the undoing of many an otherwise succesful trader. Fear has stripped the gains off every lethargic investor. Hence get into the maket with due seriousness and give your material possessions the respect they deserve.

Market Analysis - Technical View
Posted by : amarakbar
Boarder Since : 4th Feb 03

Dear Friends,
My view based on my limited knowledge and experience of markets is,
We are at HISTORIC BREAKOUT probability point for - Stock market in INDIA -
We have seen in last five years fantastic returns on investment observed in many stocks in such a short timespan of 5 to 8 years- we had not even imagined such returns in our whole trading and investing life-
After such bull runs come period of sideways and down moves where stocks change hands -
we are in such down move since last 8 months Jan2008 being month of all time high top - how long this down move will last and when new upward breakout will happen is the most important issue in many minds today.
Technical view-
We are much below YEARLY open of year 2008 thus without doubt in a correction mode / sideways/ down move at present.
Fresh buying is just too scary if yearly outlook is considered.
Let us zoom in - quarterly outlook-
2008 First quarter Jan- Mar 08 was bearish candle
second quarter Apr - Jun 08 was also bearish candle
BUT July - Sep 08 is DEFINITELY BULLISH - we are above open of July 08 in many stocks thus it says - POSSIBILITY of FRESH UPMOVE is VERY MUCH THERE in the offing -
As a chartist , wait for sep 08 close for confirmation is best strategy at present.
If July- Sep 08 is doji with lower leg then a GOOD probability of OCT - DEC 08 Bullish candle resulting into quarterly morning star pattern will arise .
Zoom in further into monthly charts-
Chechout simple 3 month moving average of most leading stocks and you will find that for Sep 08 a bull candle above 3 month simple moving average showing bullish breakout is very EASY as 3 month moving average is very VULNERABLE / POISED for yielding in favour of bulls.
Weekly and daily chart suggest such breakout is JUST AROUND THE CORNER and countdown is already on for probable MOTHER OF ALL BULL RUNS,
Targets RIL 4500
Relcap 5000
RPL 480
RNRL 350
and many more for many other stocks.
Prepare yourselves for new top.
Experience says Operators are long , Morons are short.
Disclaimer-
I hold RNRL and RPL and plan to buy more any stock i like for investment- do your own homework before taking any decision - these are pure personal views - MANY FRIENDS KNOW their MEANING-
warm regards
Vipul Lashkari

The 22 Rules of Trading
Posted by : MMB Moderator
Boarder Since : 24th Dec 02
Posted 941 messages to date
We give you Master Trader Dennis Gartman's 22 Rules of Trading, many of which you can apply to all sorts of life situations, as well as the markets.
1. Never, under any circumstance add to a losing position.... ever! Nothing more need be said; to do otherwise will eventually and absolutely lead to ruin!
2. Trade like a mercenary guerrilla. We must fight on the winning side and be willing to change sides readily when one side has gained the upper hand.
3. Capital comes in two varieties: Mental and that which is in your pocket or account. Of the two types of capital, the mental is the more important and expensive of the two. Holding to losing positions costs measurable sums of actual capital, but it costs immeasurable sums of mental capital.
4. The objective is not to buy low and sell high, but to buy high and to sell higher. We can never know what price is "low." Nor can we know what price is "high." Always remember that sugar once fell from $1.25/lb to 2 cent/lb and seemed "cheap" many times along the way.
5. In bull markets we can only be long or neutral, and in bear markets we can only be short or neutral. That may seem self-evident; it is not, and it is a lesson learned too late by far too many.
6. "Markets can remain illogical longer than you or I can remain solvent," according to our good friend, Dr. A. Gary Shilling. Illogic often reigns and markets are enormously inefficient despite what the academics believe.
7. Sell markets that show the greatest weakness, and buy those that show the greatest strength. Metaphorically, when bearish, throw your rocks into the wettest paper sack, for they break most readily. In bull markets, we need to ride upon the strongest winds... they shall carry us higher than shall lesser ones.
8. Try to trade the first day of a gap, for gaps usually indicate violent new action. We have come to respect "gaps" in our nearly thirty years of watching markets; when they happen (especially in stocks) they are usually very important.
9. Trading runs in cycles: some good; most bad. Trade large and aggressively when trading well; trade small and modestly when trading poorly. In "good times," even errors are profitable; in "bad times" even the most well researched trades go awry. This is the nature of trading; accept it.
10. To trade successfully, think like a fundamentalist; trade like a technician. It is imperative that we understand the fundamentals driving a trade, but also that we understand the market's technicals. When we do, then, and only then, can we or should we, trade.
11. Respect "outside reversals" after extended bull or bear runs. Reversal days on the charts signal the final exhaustion of the bullish or bearish forces that drove the market previously. Respect them, and respect even more "weekly" and "monthly," reversals.
12. Keep your technical systems simple. Complicated systems breed confusion; simplicity breeds elegance.
13. Respect and embrace the very normal 50-62% retracements that take prices back to major trends. If a trade is missed, wait patiently for the market to retrace. Far more often than not, retracements happen... just as we are about to give up hope that they shall not.
14. An understanding of mass psychology is often more important than an understanding of economics. Markets are driven by human beings making human errors and also making super-human insights.
15. Establish initial positions on strength in bull markets and on weakness in bear markets. The first "addition" should also be added on strength as the market shows the trend to be working. Henceforth, subsequent additions are to be added on retracements.
16. Bear markets are more violent than are bull markets and so also are their retracements.
17. Be patient with winning trades; be enormously impatient with losing trades. Remember it is quite possible to make large sums trading/investing if we are "right" only 30% of the time, as long as our losses are small and our profits are large.
18. The market is the sum total of the wisdom ... and the ignorance...of all of those who deal in it; and we dare not argue with the market's wisdom. If we learn nothing more than this we've learned much indeed.
19. Do more of that which is working and less of that which is not: If a market is strong, buy more; if a market is weak, sell more. New highs are to be bought; new lows sold.
20. The hard trade is the right trade: If it is easy to sell, don't; and if it is easy to buy, don't. Do the trade that is hard to do and that which the crowd finds objectionable. Peter Steidelmeyer taught us this twenty five years ago and it holds truer now than then.
21. There is never one cockroach! This is the "winning" new rule submitted by our friend, Tom Powell.
22. All rules are meant to be broken: The trick is knowing when... and how infrequently this rule may be invoked!

Dear Sir:
My views are a little brutally frank. Unfortunately, equity management is not like most other profesions, where repetitive similar tasks form the major portion of day to day work: cut and paste and make a few edit corrections, being the norm. The Indian stock markets have, in the main, over the last several years, bar the current one, been very benign so that even the naive has made adequate profits. So the task of professional asset managers has been relatively simple with even the mediocre getting carried away by his/her (quote) acvhievements (unquote). It is only in recent times that he/she has been tested and the wheat is getting separated from the chaff.
Investment through mutual funds is not the end all of your money management. It is the intermediate halt of novices who are still learning their way through the markets. Studying and investing directly in stocks is the ultimate aim.
I have just bought a car, and have engaged a professional driver. The way he does it and the scant respect he shows for the car has me in tears most of the time. This certainly cannot be the long term permanant solution. I need to learn to drive and more importantly to look after and maintai the vehicle on a day to dy basis quickly. Till then I have to make do with hired help. Just like most readers of this Board. That is whatthe Mutual Fund is all about. Several, very many semi-ignorant people using the hands of the fund managers to find their foothold before breaking loose.
If during the period you were with your Mutual Funds you had opted instead to pick your own stocks, with your limited and unlearned familiarity with the big bad world of equities, you would most probably have lost a lot more than what you now have thanks to the Fund Manager.
Therein lies the creditable role of the Fund Manager.
