The 12 Most Bizarre and Frightening Deep Sea Creatures

Don't count on Graham and Dodd to make you a fortune, everybody in the market knows the theory, ever wonder why fund managers can't beat the S&P 500? 'Cause they're sheep -- and the sheep get slaughtered. I been in the business since '69. Most of these high paid MBAs from Harvard never make it. You need a system, discipline, good people, no deal junkies, no toreadors, the deal flow burns most people out by 35. Give me PSHs -- poor, smart and hungry. And no feelings. You don't win 'em all, you don't love 'em all, you keep on fighting, and if you need a friend, get a dog, it's trench warfare out there sport...

Fed up with Reliance’s Tariff??
Just DO-THE-SWITCH
SWITCH from Reliance Infra (or REL, whatever) to Tata Power.
For more details see Tata Power”s website.
At the new Tariff rates today…
For 100 units:
A Tata Consumer will pay Rs. 205
A BEST Consumer will pay Rs. 261
A RInfra Consumer will pay Rs. 391
For 300 units:
A Tata Consumer will pay Rs. 885
A BEST Consumer will pay Rs. 1,165
A RInfra Consumer will pay Rs. 1,712
RInfra’s rate is approx 90% higher than Tata and approx 50% higher than BEST!
Also, if you compare how much your RInfra bill has gone up over the years.
For 100 units, in R-Infra area:
In Sep 2006, you paid Rs. 205
In Jun 2008, you paid Rs. 290
Now we will pay, Rs. 391
It’s gone up 90% in 3 years and 35% in 1 year!!
You can decide for yourself, if you want to continue paying such rates to Reliance - or switch to Tata.
Let’s be practical here - taking out morchas to Reliance’s office will
NOT help. They will simply pass the onus on to MERC - who is
responsible for approving these rates. We must hold MERC accountable,
R-Infra is after all a private company - out to make profits, so why
should they not take advantage of the system.As it is said, “awareness precedes choice”, and when you are at the
Choice Point you WILL make a choice - even between action and inaction.The Supreme Court has ruled that Tata CAN supply electricity to anyone in Mumbai, even a single individual!
So go ahead DO-THE-SWITCH .. apply to Tata and exercise your right!

Jugaad is the philosophical outlook necessary to make it work, regardless of what “it” is. It’s about solving problems with what you have, not with what you wish you had.
