If you're looking for an RSS Reader that meets the following tests 1) Can comfortably handle 100 feeds or more with 1000+ daily updates 2) Has a customizable interface to adjust the views, font size etc 3) Easily imports and exports RSS feeds via OPML files 4) Has a great search box to search your old Rss feeds 5) Is integrated with twitter etc to share your feeds 6) Is free I suggest Inoreader. I started with feedly but they had a paid version for using a search box to search feeds so for power users it didn't make sense. Inoreader has been very satisfactory and I strongly recommend you give it a try Disclosure: Only association with Inoreader is that of a very satisfied free user and I think it's the best Google Reader replacement I have come across :)

Anyone has useful information on how sports teams are valued. For example it would include a value decomposition i.e. the different components and how they would be valued Also a list of Mr Ballmers most expensive purchases would be great... (he is the kind of guy who buys used underwear on Ebay for $10000 bucks) but never mind

Markets where 1) The cost of failure is unacceptably high e.g. nuclear power, medicine, banks etc (can't let people die, become broke) 2) Markets which may initially be free but have network effect tendencies e.g. newspapers i.e. and therefore tend to monopolies over time

Two factors affecting this market are -Low gas prices -A loose monetary policy by the Fed.. either of them run out and the market will adjust accordingly..otherwise no..

Hi does anyone think that a collapse in the sovereign bond market of any one country could also spread to the general economy the query is based on the following logic -sovereign bonds are considered traditionally the safest investments -a large part of bank deposits, insurance premia, compulsary savings of people are invested in these bonds -when the value of these bonds falls - the savings of people in banks and their life savings through fixed deposits, government mandated savings programs also falls -as a result, if people watch their life savings decline in value, they cut back on current consumption and try to build their savings anew and this time by keeping stuff under the pillow -the cut back in consumption to build savings causes a general slowdown in the economy spiralling over the long term into lower investment, lesser jobs etc. -lower investment and lower earnings ultimately means a lower stock market Am I on the wrong track , is there a fault in my logic?? Please let me know??
