GM and its impeding doom - how mighty have fallen

<t>GM has to restructure, due to pension problems, besides the product manufacuring related issues. The sooner they do it, the better it is for them. Considering the fact that democrats "might" have one up in next presidential elections and labor unions will be out bullying mo-town, GM might conside...

First outsourcing now China is buying US

<t>Don't stress too much on this and that...just coerce China to correct it's dirty currency peg. And for that US treasury has to stop borrowing more from China. I feel for Dubya's ownership society, cos no one bright & native to this place wants to do the (leg) work, everyone just wants to mana...

Easiest way to learn Malayalam?

CAPM and sector dependence
