CIGAR BUTT INVESTMENT

Image
Cigar butt investment is a technique where you find stocks of businesses which are nearly terrible with their performance but you can still purchase it at a very low price to book the profit one last time. The whole idea is that the value of a declining business might be deteriorating, but the price is so low that buying the stock is likely to produce a one-time return as the gap between price and value closes. After that, there is no point to continue to own the stock. The view is that even when the business is not growing there is an expectation that it will appreciate due to other business news and the investor can realize its profit. Warren Buffet used this investment method in the initial phase of its career. He learned this technique from his guru Ben Graham. The word ‘cigar butt’ was used out of an analogy with using up a mostly smoked cigar that has one or two puffs left. It’s kind of disgusting but free. That’s the catch. Ben Graham used to refer generally underval...

Transformation in Education in Electronic Era

“Education is not learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”  Albert Einstein We are the teachers of twenty first century teaching students who have a very different point of view towards life and its various aspects. In fact, we can keep ourselves young and energetic if we are able to pace up to teach this generation. The teaching pedagogy that a teacher follows in the classroom and beyond it, is very important to build a rapport with the students. The teaching methods are supposed to be student oriented rather a teacher sometimes is not able to realise that he/ she is supposed to teach the way students like and not the way a teacher likes it. That’s what has come out/ oozed out in this lockdown period that we are facing due to COVID 19 in the recent scenario, when we started teaching online through ZOOM App, Google Meet and other such platforms, we received an overwhelming response, students started studying and my inbox is full of queries and doubts wh...

According to them, in the year 2018-19, India's exports grew by 9 percent to about $ 331 billion. Although this is a record level of exports, it is well below the $ 350 billion export target.

Rise of Zombie Firms

The term “Zombie Firms” gained importance in media during 2008, for companies receiving bailouts from the US TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). It was first applied to Japanese firms when they needed support from Japanese banks after the collapse of the Japanese Asset Price Bubble in 1990s. The period came out be known as ‘Lost Decade’. Weak & failing firms were able to exist or survive only through the support of Japanese banks. An economy with companies which need bailouts in order to operate or survive, or in other words, an indebted company which is able to repay the interest on its debts but unable to repay the principal. They do generate cash, after covering running costs and few fixed costs like wages, rates and rent, that is, they only have enough funds to service the interest on their loans, but not the debt itself. Banks act as their never- ending life support, for their continued existence. Over an extended period, they are unable to cover debt servicing costs fr...

But how many of us really complete our resolution..? According to World Report, the failure  rate  for  New Year's resolutions  is said to be about 80 percent, and most of them lose their resolution by mid-February.

Program Making Programs

Artificial intelligence is enthralling considering the way that you are creating programs that form programs. You can consider the relic or model that results from running an AI system as a program. Like a PC program that you create consequent to getting some answers concerning the issue and arranging the course of action, an AI model gets the sum of the littler scale decisions ought to have been performed to address the higher-demand issue being lit up. Exactly when you run an AI program on data you have accumulated, it makes a program or model for you that acknowledges how to deal with the issue. This is surprising. Review to the spam filtering model. That was a very certain issue, that disregarding the way that is marvelous, really comes down to a decision a program needs to make: is an email spam or not spam?

Food and Youth

Our food makes us what we are, how we think and how we conduct ourselves amongst others. Every food habit is influenced by a set of factors prevailing in the environment of an individual. In the initial years of life, we take these basic habits from our family especially parents, out of which mothers play the most pivotal role. Later on, our own observation and personal encounters with food and influences of our social circle decide upon our food habits. There has been a sea difference between the food habits of our ancestors and today’s generation. This difference has emerged as a result of vast availability of a variety of food items which are easily available all across. The youth of today gets easily lured away by something called ‘Fast Food’ which is fast in all aspects. It is easily available, handy to eat and satisfies hunger in a short period of time. However, it brings with itself a lot of adverse effects which get hidden under the layer of the aesthetics and tastes that...

Which can be achieved only through supply of human organs that are suitable for transplant and can save someone’s life.

Behavioural Disorders in Children

All kids can be disobedient and rash from time to time, which is perfectly normal. However, some kids have extremely difficult behaviour and challenging behaviours that are outer the norm for their age.  Bringing up kids is troublesome, and bringing up troublesome youngsters can be life disturbing. In any case, having the option to tell whether your youngster is simply experiencing a phase, or if something is truly wrong isn't generally that simple. A tantrum doesn't naturally mean your 2-year-old has an issue with power, and a kindergartner who wouldn't like to sit still doesn't really have attention disorder. When it comes to accepting our children’s behaviour, experts say diagnoses and labels should be kept to a minimum. Early Childhood Behavioural and Emotional Disorders Hardly ever will a child under 5 years old receive a diagnosis of a serious behavioral disorder.
