Cisco sues Apple over iPhone

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 12:00:00 +0000

Firstly, views on the Apple iPhone: great. Next impression: not so great. You can’t use it with your eyes closed. And yesterday, Cisco sues Apple for iPhone trademark infringement. In a video on intellectual property, James Boyle at Duke Law School says, when a company starts suing over intellectual property, it’s a good time to dump their stock.

Companies with good governance

Sat, 17 Aug 2002 12:00:00 +0000

The STAR exchange is a stock exchange listing companies with good governance. That’s a good criterion to list by, given the accounting we read about. This exchange has managed to outperform the conventional counterpart (Borsa), BTW.

Stock market falls when the Parliament is in session

Fri, 02 Aug 2002 12:00:00 +0000

The stock market falls when the Parliament is in session. Particularly if the Budget is discussed. Personally, I would attribute it to investor over-optimism. I don’t see how the politicians take bad decisions more than half the time, because in that case, we’re better off without them.

Hmm…

IBM acquires PwC Consulting

Wed, 31 Jul 2002 12:00:00 +0000

IBM acquires PwC Consulting. Or what would’ve been Monday. For $3.5 bn. I heard somewhere that the stock price of acquiring companies typically fall after such announcements. IBM’s didn’t. Does that mean they got PwC at a low price? Given that HP once refused them at $18 bn, maybe…

Investors are smart. Disney kills Go.com. Stock rises. Sega kills Dreamcast. Stock rises. Lesson: kill it if it won’t work.

Earthquake and impact

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 12:00:00 +0000

Earthquake. We were in class this morning. We started off with 2 minutes of silence for the earthquake victims. At about 8:15AM, we felt a slight shake. We quickly ran out of the room and down the stairs. By this time, the tremors got fairly strong but they lasted only 7-8 seconds. At around lunch time, the estate officer said we were expecting more tremors at noon, so we lined up at the open air theatre, but nothing happened.

Incidentally, stand under a door in case of an earthquake. Or outdoors, of course.

Result: Sensex collapses, cement companies stay firm.

Fed will lower rates in Jan 2001

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 12:00:00 +0000

You can use the Fed Futures to get the market’s estimate of whether the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates. My guess, based on the numbers is that it will happen in late January 2001. Buy up stocks before then!
