Apni Marzi se kahan apne Safar ke Hum hain
Rukh Hawaaon ka jidhar hai, udhar ke Hum hain
Pehle her Cheez thi apni magar ab lagta hai
Apne hi ghar mai kisi Dusre Ghar ke Hum hain
Waqt ke saath hai Mitti ka Safar Sadiyon tak
Kisko Maloom kahan ke hain, kidhar ke Hum hain?
Chalate rehte hain k chalna hai Musaafir ka Naseeb
Sochte rehte hain k kis Rah-Guzar ke Hum hain
Gintiyon mai hi gine jate hain her Daur mai Hum
Her Qalam-kaar ki Benaam khabar ke Hum hain

Hathon se girr gaee lakiren kahin, Bhool aaye hum apni takdeer kahin,
Agar tumhe mile to utha lena, Mere hisse ki har khushi hathon mein saja lena

Kabhi to waqt se pehle aaya karo,
Apni awaz sunaker haale dil bayaan karo,
Hum to rehte hain aap hi ke khayalon mein,
Kabhi aap bhi humara khayal kiya karo

Precious Investing Ideas from Legendary Investor "Warren Buffet"

Warren Buffet, a Gem of a investor of his generation, rarely communicates his investment ideas in writing to the general public.

Here are provided the 4 Great Ideas from the Great Investor himself...

1. Buy the business and not the stock

The speech titled, 'The Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville,' delivered to the students of Columbia Business School in 1984, remains the most famous speech that Buffet ever made.

This speech was delivered at a seminar held to celebrate the 50 years of the publication of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd's book Security Analysis. Benjamin Graham was Warren Buffet's Guru at Columbia School and all the years that Graham taught there Buffet was his only student to have got an A+ grade.

And Buffet, as we all know, has surely lived up to that grade. This speech elucidated his firm belief in the principle of value investing. Value investors, he said, "search for discrepancies between the value of a business and the price of small pieces of that business in the market." Hence, the only thing they are bothered about is "how much is the business worth?"

As Buffet said in the speech, "He's not looking at quarterly earnings projections, he's not looking at next year's earnings, he's not thinking about what day of the week it is, he doesn't care what investment research from any place says, he's not interested in price momentum, volume or anything. He's simply asking: What is the business worth?"

And hence, as Buffet points out in the speech about value investors. "While they differ greatly in style, these investors are, mentally, always buying the business, not buying the stock."

As we all know, the question 'how much is a business worth?' is not easy to answer and depends on how closely the investor follows the business of the company he is investing in and the understanding he has of that particular line of business.

Buffet himself follows this and does not invest in businesses he does not understand. Information technology is one sector he has consciously stayed away from even at the height of the technology boom.

2. Buy when the stock prices are low

One of the peculiar things about stock markets is the fact that investors like to buy when the markets are doing well and the stock prices are on their way up. This is not the best way to invest given the fact that in everyday life we like to buy more of something only when the prices are low.

Buffet explains this point in his letter to the shareholders for the year 1997. "A short quiz: If you plan to eat hamburgers throughout your life and are not a cattle producer, should you wish for higher or lower prices for beef? Likewise, if you are going to buy a car from time to time but are not an auto manufacturer, should you prefer higher or lower car prices?"

"These questions," he goes on, "of course, answer themselves. But now for the final exam: If you expect to be a net saver during the next five years, should you hope for a higher or lower stock market during that period? Many investors get this one wrong. Even though they are going to be net buyers of stocks for many years to come, they are elated when stock prices rise and depressed when they fall. In effect, they rejoice because prices have risen for the 'hamburgers' they will soon be buying. This reaction makes no sense. Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices."

3. For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases

Getting into stock because everyone around you is and hoping to make money from it money successfully is not everyone's cup of tea. As more and more investors get into the same stock, and price rises, the chances of making money from the stock go down.

In his 2005 letter Buffett wrote, "Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion, which were the work of genius. But Sir Isaac's talents didn't extend to investing: he lost a bundle in the South Sea Bubble, explaining later, 'I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.' If he had not been traumatized by this loss, Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the Fourth Law of Motion: 'For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases.'"

4. There is a thin line separating investment and speculation

Buffet explains this beautifully in his letter to the shareholders in the year 2000. "The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money."

"After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities -- that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future -- will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There's a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands."

Hope you guys might get some ideas on Great investing...

Facts about TCP/IP Protocols

Introduction to TCP/IP


What is TCP/IP?

TCP/IP is the communication protocol for communication between computers connected to the Internet.

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol.

The standard defines how electronic devices (like computers) should be connected to the Internet, and how data should be transmitted between them.


Inside TCP/IP

Hiding inside the TCP/IP standard there are a number of protocols for handling data communication:

* TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) communication between applications
* UDP (User Datagram Protocol) simple communication between applications
* IP (Internet Protocol) communication between computers
* ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for errors and statistics
* DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for dynamic addressing


TCP Uses a Fixed Connection

TCP is for communication between applications.

When an application wants to communicate with another application via TCP, it sends a communication request. This request must be sent to an exact address. After a "handshake" between the two applications, TCP will setup a "full-duplex" communication between the two applications.

The "full-duplex" communication will occupy the communication line between the two computers until it is closed by one of the two applications.

UDP is very similar to TCP, but is simpler and less reliable.


IP is Connection-Less

IP is for communication between computers.

IP is a "connection-less" communication protocol. It does not occupy the communication line between two communicating computers. This way IP reduces the need for network lines. Each line can be used for communication between many different computers at the same time.

With IP, messages (or other data) are broken up into small independent "packets" and sent between computers via the Internet.

IP is responsible for "routing" each packet to its destination.


IP Routers

When an IP packet is sent from a computer, it arrives at an IP router.

The IP router is responsible for "routing" the packet to its destination, directly or via another router.

The path the packet will follow might be different from other packets of the same communication. The router is responsible for the right addressing depending on traffic volume, errors in the network, or other parameters.


TCP/IP

TCP/IP is TCP and IP working together.

TCP takes care of the communication between your application software (i.e. your browser) and your network software.

IP takes care of the communication with other computers.

TCP is responsible for breaking data down into IP packets before they are sent, and for assembling the packets when they arrive.

IP is responsible for sending the packets to the receiver.



TCP/IP Addressing


IP Addresses

Each computer must have an IP address before it can connect to the Internet.

Each IP packet must have an address before it can be sent to another computer.

This is an IP address: 192.9.200.63.
This might be the same IP address: www.website.com

You will learn more about IP addresses and IP names in the next chapter of this tutorial.


IP Address = 4 Numbers

This is your IP address: 202.177.251.238

TCP/IP uses 4 numbers to address a computer. Each computer must have a unique 4 number address.

The numbers are always between 0 and 255. Addresses are normally written as four numbers separated by a period like this: 192.168.1.50.


32 Bits = 4 Bytes

TCP/IP uses 32 bits addressing. One computer byte is 8 bits. So TCP/IP uses 4 computer bytes.

A computer byte can contain 256 different values:

00000000, 00000001, 00000010, 00000011, 00000100, 00000101, 00000110, 00000111, 00001000 .......and all the way up to 11111111.

That is why a TCP/IP address is 4 numbers between 0 and 255


Domain Names

12 digit numbers are hard to remember. Using a name is easier.

Names used for TCP/IP addresses are called domain names. w3schools.com is a domain name.

When you address a web site like http://www.website.com, the name is translated to a number by a DNS process (Domain Name Server).

All over the world, a large number of DNS servers are connected to the Internet. DNS servers are responsible for translating domain names into TCP/IP addresses and update each other with new domain names.

When a new domain name is registered together with a TCP/IP address, DNS servers all over the world are updated with this information.



TCP/IP Protocols


TCP/IP uses the a Family of Protocols for communication

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols based upon the two original protocols TCP and IP.


TCP - Transmission Control Protocol

TCP is used for transmission of data from an application to the network.

TCP is responsible for breaking data down into IP packets before they are sent, and for assembling the packets when they arrive.


IP - Internet Protocol

IP takes care of the communication with other computers.

IP is responsible for the sending and receiving data packets over the Internet.


HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

HTTP takes care of the communication between a web server and a web browser.

HTTP is used for sending requests from a web client (a browser) to a web server, returning web content (web pages) from the server back to the client.


HTTPS - Secure HTTP

HTTPS takes care of secure communication between a web server and a web browser.

HTTPS typically handles credit card transactions and other sensitive data.


SSL - Secure Sockets Layer

The SSL protocol is used for encryption of data for secure data transmission.


SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

SMTP is used for transmission of e-mails.


MIME - Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions

The MIME protocol lets SMTP transmit multimedia files including voice, audio, and binary data across TCP/IP networks.


IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol

IMAP is used for storing and retrieving e-mails.


POP - Post Office Protocol

POP is used for downloading e-mails from an e-mail server to a personal computer.


FTP - File Transfer Protocol

FTP takes care of transmission of files between computers.


NTP - Network Time Protocol

NTP is used to synchronize the time (the clock) between computers.


DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DHCP is used for allocation of dynamic IP addresses to computers in a network.


SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is used for administration of computer networks.


LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

LDAP is used for collecting information about users and e-mail addresses from the internet.


ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol

ICMP takes care of error handling in the network.


ARP - Address Resolution Protocol

ARP is used by IP to find the hardware address of a computer network card based on the IP address.


RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

RARP is used by IP to find the IP address based on the hardware address of a computer network card.


BOOTP - Boot Protocol

BOOTP is used for booting (starting) computers from the network.


PPTP - Point to Point Tunneling Protocol

PPTP is used for setting up a connection (tunnel) between private networks.



TCP/IP Email


Our Email Program Does

Our email program uses different TCP/IP protocols:

* It sends your emails using SMTP
* It can download your emails from an email server using POP
* It can connect to an email server using IMAP


SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

The SMTP protocol is used for the transmission of e-mails. SMTP takes care of sending your email to another computer.

Normally your email is sent to an email server (SMTP server), and then to another server or servers, and finally to its destination.

SMTP can only transmit pure text. It cannot transmit binary data like pictures, sounds or movies.

SMTP uses the MIME protocol to send binary data across TCP/IP networks. The MIME protocol converts binary data to pure text.


POP - Post Office Protocol

The POP protocol is used by email programs (like Microsoft Outlook) to retrieve emails from an email server.

If your email program uses POP, all your emails are downloaded to your email program (also called email client), each time it connects to your email server.


IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol

The IMAP protocol is used by email programs (like Microsoft Outlook) just like the POP protocol.

The main difference between the IMAP protocol and the POP protocol is that the IMAP protocol will not automatically download all your emails each time your email program connects to your email server.

The IMAP protocol allows you to see through your email messages at the email server before you download them. With IMAP you can choose to download your messages or just delete them. This way IMAP is perfect if you need to connect to your email server from different locations, but only want to download your messages when you are back in your office.

Great Sayings by Great Business Personalities

By Sir Richard Branson "founder of Virgin Enterprises"

"I don't think of work as work and play as play. It's all living."

"Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming."



By Thomas Alva Edition "Founder of GE"

"I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others... I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent."



By Bill Gates "Microsoft Corporation"

"We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm."



By Henry Ford "Founder of Ford Motor Company"

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits। They will be embarrassingly large.

Email Mechanism

How Email Works
Here I am going to provide you the details step-by-step process of sending and receiving email. The process is very simple and easy to understand. So get ready to start...

Sending Email using your client pogram or Web based email system.
An email client is an email program such as Outlook Express, for sending, receiving and organizing your email messages. Also some web sites also provide web based email client such as yahoo.com, hotmail.com and gmail.com.These system are called Web Mail.

Servers where email send receive actually works.
Email servers are used to process, store and send, and receive email messages. There are different types of email servers, such as POP 3, SMTP and IMAP servers. The most popular email servers are POP 3 (incoming mail servers for your incoming mail) and SMTP (outgoing mail servers for your outgoing mail).

SMTP or outgoing mail server
When we send an email from our email program, the email first arrives at the specified SMTP (outgoing mail server), then the SMTP server will check for the validity of both source and destination email addresses. Then it will send email to the proper destination.

POP3 or incoming mail server
When someone sends us an email message, it arrives at our POP3 server and it waits for us to check our email. When we check your email, our email program accesses our POP3 servers and download our messages from our POP3 server to our computer.

Web Mail
Sending and receiving email messages using a web browser is referred to as "Web Mail". We can access our Web Mail in any of our webmail service provided such as Yahoo, hotmail or gmail as long as we have a browser and an Internet connection. We can always use provider's (Yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com, etc.) Web Mail in conjunction with your usual email program, such as Outlook Express.

Difference between Web Mail and Client Email (such as Outlook Express)
Client email, such as Outlook Express will ordinarily download and save our messages to our computer, and then it deletes email messages from our servers.

Email Mechanism
When Arvind sends Swetha an email message, the message travels in the following manner:

1. Arvind opens his email program (Outlook Express), uses his email account, Arvind@arvindsite.com, and writes an email message to Swetha@swethasite.com. His Outlook Express sends the message through TCP port 25 of Arvind’s Internet connection, then to the other ISP’s SMTP server (still on TCP port 25).

2. The other ISP’s SMTP server finds the destination’s SMTP server (in this case, swethasite) and sends the message out to swethasite’s SMTP server (through TCP port 25 of his Internet connection).

3. swethasite’s SMTP server sends the message to swethasite’s POP3 server where the message waits for Swetha to pick it up.

4. Swetha opens her email program (Outlook Express) and when she clicks Send/Recv button, her Outlook Express sends a request through Swetha’s Internet connection to swethasite’s Pop3 server (through TCP port 110) and downloads Swetha’s message to Swetha’s computer where she sees Arvind’s message.

The same process happens in reverse, when Swetha sends Arvind an email message.

Note 1. There are other network elements that are necessary to make this process happen, such as: swethasite’s routers, swethasite’s DNS servers and swethasite’s Internet connection, and other ISP’s routers, DNS servers and Internet connection. We have not discussed on that issue as they are irrevelent in regard to email mechanism

Note 2. Swetha may use a different ISP for her Internet connection and to host her domain, website and email (Swetha@hercompany.com.)

Mr. Market

The Mr. Market Concept by Sir Ben Graham.

How to buy & sell stocks and earn by becoming a real investor

The concept of Mr. Market goes something like this: imagine you are partners in a private business with a man named Mr. Market. Each day, he comes to your office or home and offers to buy your interest in the company or sell you his [the choice is yours]. The catch is, Mr. Market is an emotional wreck. At times, he suffers from excessive highs and at others, suicidal lows. When he is on one of his manic highs, his offering price for the business is high as well, because everything in his world at the time is cheery. His outlook for the company is wonderful, so he is only willing to sell you his stake in the company at a premium. At other times, his mood goes south and all he sees is a dismal future for the company. In fact, he is so concerned, he is willing to sell you his part of the company for far less than it is worth. All the while, the underlying value of the company may not have changed - just Mr. Market's mood.

The best part of this entire arrangement: you are free to ignore him if you don't like his price. The next day, he'll show up at your door with a new one. For your interest, the more manic-depressive he is, the more opportunity you will have to take advantage of him [don't worry, he doesn't have feelings or mind being taken advantage of.] As long as you have a strong conviction of what the company is really worth, you will be able to look at Mr. Market's offers and reject or accept them... the choice is yours.

This is exactly how the intelligent investor should look at the stock market - each security that is traded is merely a part of a business. Each morning, when you open up the newspaper or turn on CNBC, you can find Mr. Market's prices. It is your choice whether or not to act on them and buy or sell. If you find a company that he is offering for less than it is worth, take advantage of him and load up on it. Surely enough, as long as the company is fundamentally sound, one day he will come back under the sway of a manic high and offer to buy the same company from you for a much higher price.

Wish you good investing and real earning.
