How stock market Works

One more copy paste from a mail ;)

It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation 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.
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 stock markets work!!!

2nd blog

Sorry, didn't get a better title today.

Lots of ideas were comming to mind in last few days, but I was not getting time to key in.

Reason ?
I got a blackberry :)

Those who don't know what a blackberry is,

Its a PDA. A cellphone + email client + web browser.

For last few days I am playing around with my new toy.
Though the company has given it to me to check mails more frequently and respond but I m making use of the browsing thing.
I have other ideas to make better use of it. Let's see how it goes.
I will write abt them later.

BTW I m learning j2me :) to write program for my bb

BB - Black berry

Perspective

Not exactly, in true sense, a blog it is.
But to me this is a very nice place to store and share nice articles, readinsg etc.

So here goes my first blog. I read it today in one of the many forwarded E-mail I get.

Perspectives
=========
Two mothers met for coffee one morning, and the conversation naturally
turned to their kids.

"Well, Martina, how are your kids?", asks Jessica.
"To tell you the truth," says Martina,
"my George has married a witch!
She doesn't get out of bed until 11.
She's out all day spending his money on Heaven knows what,
and when he gets home, exhausted, does she have a nice hot dinner for him?
NO! She makes him take her out to dinner at an expensive restaurant."

"Hmmm ... and how is your daughter?", Jessica asks.
"Ah!", says Martina. "Cathy has married a saint!
He brings her breakfast in bed, he gives her enough money to buy all she needs,
and in the evening he takes her out to dinner at a nice, fancy restaurant"
==================

A truely MOM's prospective :) Isn't it ?
