Score Card for 2018

I had recommended 2 portfolios. My ‘defensive’ or ‘safe’ portfolio had a loss of 3 % but I still beat the broad market which went down by 7 %. I included ‘consumer staples’ in my defensive portfolio. This sector wasn’t immune to broad scale declines without “ITA, IYK, VCSAX” which represent the same sector I would have been positive.
“Aggressive” portfolio met with a 15 % decline. Uncertainties over trade wars with China hit CQQQ massively.
2018 was still a year which saw ‘net’ growth but declining numbers as the year closed in.

Global Warming: A Modern Myth

‘Global Warming’ has been a buzzword in political circles in this decade. The western world continues to churn out ‘doomsday prophecies’ of the world coming to an end if nothing is done to contain the greenhouse gases in atmosphere. Most of the western media claims of a consensus among climate scientists that the earth is heating up due to increase in carbon emissions caused by human activity. According to them rising temperatures of our planet will lead to dramatic rise in sea levels, floods, wide spread droughts, intense heat waves, powerful storms, etc. The very concept of ‘warming earth’ is flawed since genuine data suggests that earth temperatures are falling rather than rising. Greenhouse gases are composed of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and CFCs. Water vapor has more than 70 % contribution to greenhouse gases. The world is currently focused on carbon dioxide with actually constitutes less than 10 % and out of that less than 2 % is due to man-made causes. The

Future of Indo-US relationship under Obama Administration

Barack Obama’s phenomenal and seminal victory in US presidential elections created ripples all over the world. A man of color and a person far less tried than many of his elders in his party but far more gifted politically had triumphed on the night of November 4, 2008. He is a political whiz-kid who radiates a gracious charm and is capable of inspiring rhetoric. Obama’s minority identity and his approach to transcend identity politics leave deep impression among Indian communities. Left-Liberals back in India had a celebration marked by unrestrained revelry unwary of the potential impediments for India. Obama’s message of ‘change’ is a cabinet full of ex-Clinton administration hawks. Old liberals from the old school are back and desperate to solve all world problems. The new administration has already set its imperial aims to win Afghanistan and to do so it needs Pakistan’s Army to co-operate. In one of the interviews Obama said “We should probably try to facilitate a better understan

Higher Education in the USA

Foreign students have always been instrumental in spurring a cultural and technological revolution in the US . International students not only bring ‘hopes’ and ‘dreams’ but also a major economic boost to the US . According to a report from the Institute of International Education , foreign students brought in a total of $14.7 billion to the US economy from their home countries to pay for tuition fees and living expenses in the year 2006-07. The US continues to attract lot of hopefuls from hundreds of countries. The number of students enrolling in US universities is soaring every year. The largest numbers of students to the US are from India followed by China . The procedure to fly to the US for graduate studies is quite tedious and cumbersome. A 4-year degree is usually required to pursue a graduate degree in US. The first and foremost step is to appear for GRE ( www.gre.org ) and TOEFL ( www.toefl.org ) since most US universities require applicants to have taken both the t
