Emerging Arbitrage: Price Gap Between Indian Highway Restaurants

US Deficit = Casa Monstro ?

I believe we should take Fed’s word seriously, … Continue reading

Consumerism does support creativity!

I was walking through Fifth avenue (NYC) and found some of the store decorations/ installations to be quite creatively done pieces of art.

Frankly looking at smaller cap Chinese stocks listing on US exchanges for last few days, Seems like liquidity is finding it’s way to market. WATCH OUT … Continue reading

Total US Consumer Debt and it;s composition.

Another Data point like the previous post, things have hardly made any big improvement, in terms of US Consumer debt. With talks of Fiscal cliff going, either way the talks finalized, Choice most probably be between high inflation vs. poor economy. Hardly a great choice?
