Skirts pulling the market

I came across an interesting article , mentioning about a study on how the length of the skirt determines the state of the stock market. There is a direct relation between the length of the skirt in fashion to the boom in share prices .....oh sorry .....its an inversely dependency.:)))))
They say shorter are the skirts in streets signifies market is bullish and longer ones blankets the market.
It actually does make some sense...when its cheerful weather or economy is booming and there is a feel good factor ...remember india shining ( proved to be pestilential for NDA) there is more probability for the buyers to invest and pull the market . So on bright sunny day therefore women tends to be more stylish , wearing short dresses. Actually its a study connecting vague phenomenons but asking the right questions. So the fashion industry can actually head the economy because it can single handedly bring cheery among the investors. So its all in the hands of beautiful women to control the prices of stocks dipping these days , which is giving sleepless nights to the finance ministry. Here is my 2 cents , what gubernatorial ( i always wanted to use this word ) acts can turn off the bearish state of the markets. Send some blondes wearing mini ( OKAYeeee make them wear micro skirts) around the dalal streets, that would upbeat the moods of everybody there even if it is a fake one .....that day market would certainly gain 1000 points and i can sell all shares making massive profits.
After 1 year you there would be another scam on headlines ...bigger than roopalben ...courtesy yours truely..hehe...raging artificial price hike by making dalal street...a live ramp show
Taking one step further , plan is to get the whole fashion industry and the equity market together and slowly if the business works , opening a television channel covering it live.....we can even diverse our company's portfolio into retailing designer skirts :))))))))00

ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE BUSINESS PLAN.......PLS LEAVE A COMMENT

nose poker

Funny things always happens around me and i am the actor (in the lead role) for all the stupid mishappenings . Yesterday was yet another day when my gaucheness was at its best. One of my college friend neelu , has come from US for his training. So we all went to see him in CP Pizza Hut . Although i hate those junkies ( pizza and all) but i arrived late and they were comfortably settled when i reached. We ordered for a large pizza (exotica) , garlic bread and fanta( for me).
Sipping my fanta, talking about old times , recollecting those cherished moments in college, discussing each others future plans ( professional as well as personal :)
Suddenly out of no where my lost mind again starts to rise from ashes , regaining my lost form of being and performing most weird acts, i forgot about the simple machine which helps us to do our work with less effort ( yoo i still remember the defination of simple machine ) . For those wondering which simple machine am i talking about ....... its A STRAW and my dexterity with it that i poked it in my nose.......sounds funny ......but i have an alibi ........lost in my college days and forgot about our simple machine, For a a sec it remained stuck in my nose and it did hurt. But no big issue for me , i threw the straw and finished my fanta sipping from the glass, putting more effort without my simlpe machine :)))))
This is one of the many anecdotes and others perhaps nobody will ever come to know because i am going to restrain myself vomitting out here.

tipping point

Lets track a theory named ' TIPPING POINT ' by Malcolm Gladwell, which enlightens us with some cracks and insights in sales and marketing , also in general the human behaviour. It ellaborates on the issues of epidemics , no not of contagious diseases but in general the spreading of news ..any news...by word of mouth.
This world is divided into 2 categories ...1st are those who connects others and 2nd ( no points for guessing that) those who does not belong to 1 st category ( hehe) .
Lets call the category 1 people connectors which can be subdevided into mavens, connectors, and salesman. These are the people who sell the ideas of marketing intentionally or unintentionally to the mass public. These connectors are those are very social, are up to date about almost everything in the market , and most importantly ....knows how to make others interested in them so that everybody listens to what they have got to say.
We all notice people who have tons of knowledge , knows all about how to make the best deal ,and are always eager to share it with others . These are the market watchers who keeps the companies on their toes, otherwise the average public doesn't really care about the minute price variances. Then there are those who have enough information but still incapable to start the promotional epedemics. Here comes the importance of salesman ( remember the classificaton) . They can make you believe almost anything and the most important point to remember is that the product they endorse must have substance in it otherwise they would loose their appeal.There are lots of studies been done to understand the mavens , connectors and salesman of the society because they hold the key to a successful marketing campaigns.
