Why 2012 is not like 1984
The recent political developments in India has left the country in a state of anger and depression.
The credit for exposing the venality of our corrupt politicians goes to Arvind Kejriwal.He reminds me of this girl in the iconic Apple ad.He has smashed our inertia and woken us up.

Site Review:Screener.in
Was requested to try out a new site Screener.in by Pratyush Mittal
The site enables the users to create stock screens and research stocks.
You can use any of the existing screens or create your own one (One needs to be logged in for this…registration is free)
I love the wide range of stock screens available here.Some great ones include cash bargains,quarterly growers,quick cash flow, turnarounds etc.The best part is that the screens are sortable and the columns are customizable
Another great feature of the site is that it allows an easy comparison with other companies in the same industry. This especially helps when one is looking at valuations- a low P/E for a stock doesn’t mean anything if the entire sector is suffering from low P/Es.
The site design is very clean and uncluttered.I hope it remains that way.
On the negative side, there is a “create financial ratio” functionality which is difficult to use.Maybe dropdowns etc can help users better use this functionality.
I would strongly recommend readers to check this site out and I congratulate the makers of this site for creating such a beautiful product.
