Madoff and 150 Years!
Is this the beginning or just a Feel Good for those victims?
Is Madoff the Poster Boy for the Wall Street Excesses?
Or it is just a side show that won the Pitch?

Iraq walks away finally!
As Iraq begins to walk without life support - Finally!
America under the New Administration's philosophy is demonstrating what is to come in the Future!
A forced 9-1-1 for the world NO-MORE!
As MR O takes a softer look at Iran, Russia and Venezuela .... it is getting clear where the focus will be on-
On rebuilding America 2.0
May Be, Just May Be - we are entering a phase of American politics where the energy and resources will be spent on establishing leadership in Innovation and productivity like how the foundation for America 1.o was built!

Madoff and Stanfords....!
Clock ticking closer to the judgement day for Bernie Madoff and Stanford...as we fade away fast from the Financial Whatever of the century!
Even as feel good about the speed at which these unruly individuals to justice it hurts to see the others who made this Financial Whatever happen walk away silently with no recourse what so ever.
Mandoffs and Stanfords even as their fate is being written in the courts of law- it is being painted as part of the scripts from the Financial Whatever.
One fails to understand that these are not the root cause of the Financial Whatever- these are a totally different type of isolated frauds which had nothing to do with the current financial disasters caused by those White shoe criminals of Wall Street who are hiding behind their well mannered and polished degrees from the Harvards and Columbia schools! Madoffs and Stanfords are those typical crooks who get away through their high pitch salesmanship that one sees every day in a small scale targetted towards middle class and old age population- only these were targetted to rich and high net worth individuals!
It is a shame that these two mild mannered crooks didn't go to Harvard or Wharton - and that might also explain their quick meeting with the judgement days - even as the other crooks , alumni of top Business Schools , who made this Financial Whatever - walk away free!

That Annoying Voice....!
Best Ad voice on TV...No matter where you are and how far away you are from the TV ..one could never miss that screaming voice!
Yes- Billy Mays!
That urge to buy the moment you see that product in any shop - with that unique voice from yinside your head-
Its as if it never goes away!
His departure will certainly leave a void in TV infomercias for some time!
May his soul rest in Peace!

An NBC Moment: Dylan Ratigan stays with the Family!!
Even As GE is holding on to a thin wire in this Financial Whatever..Jeff Immelt and NBC score a win!
Dylan Ratigan, often controversial in the final moments of his stay at CNBC with his very polarised views on Wall Street and Corporate shenanigans , quietly lands at MSNBC....as a Morning Joe!!
Sheepish and quiet - very opposite his what appeared to be an authoritative and may be a tad arrogant air on CNBC - Mr Ratigan seems to have shed his opinionated views on MSNBC - atleast for Today!
Good luck Mr Ratigan!
Another indication that Jeff Immelt and GE is good at what they do- build a strong and profitable American Corporation- and this ability to keep Ratigan in the family and still manage his larger than life Persona withine the GE image- takes more than money!

Fear and Greed!
As Fear fades to the background - Greed steps out for a spin!
As the Volatility Index - a proxy for Trading fear - starts to roll back slowly into its usual trading range- the power struggle between the vigilantes and the policy makers around the globe seems to be slowly disappearing at least for NOW!
As Noise of Hyper Inflation and other monetary problems are being thrown at the press from Greenspan to Rogers - the money managers and the press are slowly pushing them away from the headlines.
Is there anything that can be learned in this Financial Whatever that we just witnessed?
When the Lords are at War stay on the sidelines till one side starts rolling over!

Terminator! WoolWorth ,Sears , WalMart and ....?
Even as the Global Economy reels in its past excesses - California and its Terminator are approaching a double digit Tax rates!
Reason for Amazon to not just fight its distribution model but also to educates people on their capabilities.
From WoolWorth to Sears several decades were lost and hanging those Sears Catalogue in toilet as a multi-purpose aid - might have helped the transition but to grab that from Sears and build the largest retail model by WalMart again took several decades.
In every one of these transition in retail industry - consumers and conveniences were leading the pack with innovation.
Again it is time for the Retail Industry to Innovate and bring consumerism to a new level of shopping.
Amazon with its limited spread in products has the incentives given by states and governments all over with climbing sales taxes - to lead that charge and bring down the barriers of wall and take retail to a main stream internet mall. If the fight against North Carolina is a first step - there are several others that Amazon needs to address to make this opportune moment-
- Educate consumers of what a close to 10% taxation really means to their bottom line
- Expand Amazon's offering to every major retail category from indulgences to must have daily consumables
- Move away fro being another Microsoft type of Management and learn from other successful retail leaders to make its brand an every day utterances
May Be, Just May Be JB of Amazon could leave the eBook venture as just a pet project and focus on this enormous opportunity to redefine retail - Again! As this is once in a several decades opportunity!

Amazon and North Carolina!
Is this the first round?
Starting regional and might go all the way to the Capitol Hill?
With Deficit & credibility far from near - this could be a recurring one int he near future - not just limited to the on-line world!

Mr Deepak lashed out on MDs and Doctors!
Even as the World is waiting for the Coroner's office to open to the world what in the heck happened to King of Pop- there are enough individuals pointing fingers - rightly or wrongly!
Couldn't help but notice Mr Deepak Chopra's emotional out pour in CNN with the Situation Room and the Wolf!
Blaming the death on Drugs and accusing all those Hollywood MDs who prescribe for celebrities. Though clear on his accusation initially on MJ's drug addiction and the cause of his death - when asked pointedly he back pedalled and said it was just a hear say!
Understandable about his emotional out pour given his 20 something years of relationship with MJ - However it is difficult to ignore some professional pointers:
- 21 Years with MJ and still could not help MJ out of his emotional trauma and issues? Certainly questions the capability of therapy!
- lashing out on other Doctors and MDs : is it a competitive effort or just an emotional outburst due to loss- but for a seasoned professional who addresses the very same issue ...is difficult to digest
- blaming hte death on Drugs and MDs when the World is still waiting ont he Coroner's report is certainly very amateurish!
Well it looks like just a sample fo what MJ's disappearance will do to people while his Music lovers mourn his death.

Net Mania...! Or just Web 2.0 & America 2.0!
Sites crash!
Text Messages set record pace!
Twitter , Google , ....!
MJ and the world tweets and screams in the cyber world!
IS the World Ready for Web 2.0?
A Resounding Yes! And TEchnology is here for Good!
America 2.0 and TEchnology plays well in the resurgence of post Industrial Era growth for American Corporation!

Dollar , Iran , Nigeria and Oil!
Event after Event an attempt to push Oil higher.....the wounds from the previous speculation is still hurting those speculators - including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley who pushed Oil to its previous speculative highs- Appears it will take something more than evenst already tried to push the oil higher from here!
China and its voice on Sovereign Currency!
Even as Mr O plays his card carefully in rebuilding America 2.0 - China speaks!
Replacing Dollar with a super Currency!
Coming from someone whose market is Closed, Manipulates its currency to help it EXPORT TO USA , encourages hoarding , ...on and on and on!
This can only be a negotiations tactic to establish a better hand in trading Globally!
Lookinga t what happened to Japan , Yen and their cyber rattling after they reached a pinnacle with their American supported Export Economy .....one can only imagine the imact of this!

Even as Consumers begin to Walk...!
Is the capital market ready for a sustained rally?
Looking at reports every where when people are going beyond the Green shoots - if the strike of the money holders fade to the back ground this bottoming process has the legs to attempt to move to a incremental growth path-
Growth might be scattered in Developed economies - but the emerging markets have a bigger and better future if this continues.

Mr O's warmth to Germany & Ms Merkel!
SMART PRACTICAL AND I CAN TRUST HER WHEN SHE TALKS! said Mr O about MS Merkel!
Says it All!!
This is a major change in American Policy towards a new and stronger global Economy!
It is a revolutionary shift that will rebuild America 2.0 to a level that will not only bring prosperity to America but will also ensure a global uplift of socio-economic issues every where!

Jackson's Tune!
Even as the World is shocked and mourns the premature death of Mr Jackson- there are opportunities for companies which have been aligned with Mr Jackson's talent-
Apple and iTunes
Amazon and its collections of Jacksons
MTV and its innovations around MJ
Sony
And then there are some losers - those who underwrote the London Concert series & those who paid enormous black market rates for those tickets!

Germany & Ms Merkel
As Ms Merkel faces the American Administration & White House- It is very encouraging and heart warming to see a change in outlook from both sides to take this relationship to a different level.
A new relationship like nothing before since the WWII will open new opportunity for a Global Economy which relies on Innovation and Productivity & not on Financial ingenuity like the last several decades championed by Wall Street and head quartered out of London!
A new era in this relation is a step removed from the English solidarity established during the WWII.
This is a new beginning &
May Be , Just May Be - a New Era for a well managed global economy with a level playing field for every one!

Michael Jackson - Pop King is no more!
It is a shock & a Sad truth!
He changed the music lovers!
He will be Missed!
May his sould rest in Peace!

Beginning of the Exit...?
Or is the Federal Reserve playing ball to the PIMCO's of the world to keep the game into overtime?
Looking at he Dollar and the recent auction reslts from 2, 5 and 7Y - it seems to be working!

IBM and the Outsourcing Myth!
Even as American corporationsa are fighting the Image fallout of Outsourcing - IBM is capitalizing and winning over its competition - on being just American!
Winning several F500 accounts since the Financial Fallout - capitalizing on keeping American Jobs at home - it leaves the details to the fine prints-
With over 80,000 employess based in India - it is very close to becoming one of the top employers in India!As it keeps hiring in India and China!
May Be, Just May Be - IBM should be I(ndian) Business Machines? And American companies should pay attention to the details as well!
While that happens - it is a good stock to invest in and participate in the price appreciation!
