    Posted: 19/Sep/2008 at 6:26pm
I am sorry to be starting a new thread on youtube in Portfolio Check up section.
But I did not have permissions to create a new thread in Lounge Section. This is the only section that allowed me to create a new thread.
 
Basantji,
Kindly move this thread to Lounge Section.
 
 
Now...
Many of you would have watched many interesting videos and would like others to have a look as well.
 
Even I have seen some videos which I thought all of us to have a look at.
 
More importantly it involves TED.
But this TED is slightly different. This TED is kind of a workshop being organized for more than 10 years and people from various walks of life come and talk about Science, Astronomy, Personal Experiences, Tricks. It is a great place to get an assortment of information.
 
Some of the ones that I liked are below. I have not seen all of them but among the many, these are some i liked...
 

How it feels to have a stroke

TED | Talks | The true face of Leonardo Da Vinci
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCv97hG29wQ

The search for dark energy and dark matter

Why we don't understand as much as we think:

The real Difference between liberals and Conservatives:

There are so many hundreds of interesting videos !!!
Please go to youtube.com and grep for TED talks.
 
OR 
 
Go to ted.com and have a look at these and many more interesting videos.
Hope you enjoy these....

For all those fans of heroes...

there are many sites where Heroes 3 vireos are present. One of them which i watch is at:

http://heroes-online-videos.blogspot.com/

On the right hand side you will see all the links for each of the 13 episodes of Heroes.

How sad that we get to see the season 3 in India only after it gets over in the other parts of the world !!!

Chris Marthension (a scientist and Financial Expert) has uploaded a Crash course on the current situation
 
Some of the Initial videos are at:
 
 
Sometimes I wonder why all these people surface only during such bad days.
Then I feel that probbaly we start looking at such things only during bad days and these guys were there since long.
After looking at some of the videos, I feel the commodities nerd Jim Rogers's arguement makes some sense atleast. 
 
You can watch all of the 20 chapters at:

Probably after watching chapter 6, 7 and 8 you will start sweating
 
 
BTW can anyone tell me what are indian currencies backed by ? debt  or Gold/Silver ?
As I see in the videos, US currencies are backed by Debt and Gold has long gone as the colateral to print money.
We benchmark our currencies to US dollar. So, considering the rate at which the dollar will decline, in future, we will be forced to go back to the previous scheme of benchmarking against gold (or some other instrument which has value, which does not  loose value over time and which appreciates like gold which will appreciate because of limited supply)

Whenever we discuss growth rate of a company we always expect and try to buy companies which have a growth rate of say 30 % (assuming that ROE matches this growth rate).
 
But a simple arithmetic proves that in the long run it is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain the growth rate.
It means that every year you have to earn the same as last year + earn the extra 30% to sustain the 30% number that we quote. Then we have repeat it for few more years.
 
No wonder that no company can sustain such growth rates and very few companies have been successfull in sustaining such growth rates (hdfc bank for example...)
 
An excellent talk by physics professor Albert Bartlett is uploaded on you tube where he takes a very simple growth rate of 5% and tries to argue that it is so difficult even to maintain 5% growth rate.
 
The example explained in the class room discussion is generic and not related to stocks.
 
 
Part 1:
 
Part 2:
 
to get the later parts you can select them from the right side of the you tube page.
