Samsung SGH-i450 review

By Vipin Agnihotri The design of Samsung SGH-i450 is truly a cross between the Nokia N81 and the N95. The i450 possesses enviable looks. A subtle theme of cool blue runs along the sides of the phone, sandwiched between off-white. The best part about this model is that there is no unnecessary sparkle, no useless ridges. With dimensions of 101 x 52 x 17.8 mm, the phone’s not took bulky, and at 114g, it’s not too heavy either. …

A lesson in Iceland’s crisis

Is the sun setting on Iceland? (Tania Fuentez/AP)
Iceland is in trouble, as Mark Landler writes. Inflation is threatening to spiral out of control, so the central bank has raised short-term interest rates to an exorbitant level. Investments abroad have gone to the dogs, and Iceland’s banks look very vulnerable. Is this a […]…

Why Was Everyone Wrong-sided on Google?

Pretty much everyone thought Google would miss tonight. And more than half of those people thought Google would, at least implicitly, guide down. Why was everyone wrong-sided on Google? Here are some possible explanations: Comscore data had people convinced that first-quarter paid click data was disastrous It just made sense that online ad spending would be cut, especially given financial services dependency, and Google has to be hurt if/when that happens …

Germany: Producer Price Index

German producer prices continued to accelerate in March, booking growth of 4.2% (SA) on the back of a 3.7% rate of growth in February. On a month-ago basis, the PPI grew 0.5% (NSA) in March having booked a 0.6% rate of growth in the prior month.

Housing Problem: What Inning is It?

Are we the only ones getting tired of the "What inning?" question?  When we think baseball, it is better to enjoy the early success of Chicago’s two teams, especially the suddenly slick-fielding White Sox.

For several months financial television asked everyone about recession chances.  Prior training or experience not required — all opinions welcome.

The question d…

Mad Money Rebroadcast

Tonight’s “Mad Money” TV show was a repeat of a “Back to Basics” segment that originally aired on Dec. 27, 2006. Sin’s Of Investing “A handful of extremely important rules are needed to beat the market and to be successful people need to unlearn some of the worst, most harmful myths they believe about stocks and investing,” Jim told us at the start of his show today. As a money manager he made every mistake in his new book. We were told that the single worst and most common mistake people make is buying and holding stocks. Buy and hold isn’t a strategy but an ideology which allows market players to be lazy, and it will lose you money. Doing homework after the buy not buying and holding will make you money. 30 or 40 years ago buy and hold was a winning option with high taxes and commission. It is important to know when to buy and sell, and doing homework is the only way to know when. A second mistake was pointed out when investors harbor regrets. It was called unproductive and bad to dwell on missed opportunities, yet people still do it. The time you waste worrying about these misses, is time you are not making money. Instead of dwelling on the past, think about the future. The next rule is “tips are for waiters.” People love “hot stock tips” but there is no such thing as a tip so never take them seriously. The only way a tipster could know for sure about a stock is if they were an insider and if they are an insider and tip you off they are breaking the law. An investigation from the SEC is pure hell even if you haven’t done wrong. Tips do not exist, and Jim says “if you get a tip, it is either illegal, incorrect or straight up manipulative.” In theory you want to be diversified but often when you pick stocks you do not think about being diversified because it is “boring, conservative and totally unsexy.” While no fun, diversification is “essential” for those serious about investing. Throwing money into one hot stock can ruin you. Lastly people want to be good investors, but they need to refrain from getting too arrogant. The rule here is “arrogance is a sin.” The most arrogant thing is to place your whole position in a stock at once, as this is something you should never do. Buy incrementally, and be patient for good entry points to build position.
