Never Argue with a Woman!

One morning the husband returns after several
hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He
pulls up alongside the woman and
says,

"Good morning, Ma'am. What are
you doing?"

Reading a book," she replies,
(thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,"
he informs her.

I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing.
I'm reading."

Yes, but you have all the equipment.
For all I know you could start at any
moment. I'll have to take you in and write
you up."

If you do that, I'll have to charge
you with sexual assault," says the
woman.

But I haven't even touched you,"
says the game warden.

That's true, but you have all the equipment.
For all I know you could start
at any moment."

Have a nice day ma'am," and he
left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads.
It's likely she can also think.

Money Smoking Zone!

Folks,don't get scared looking at these pics.These are the front covers of cigarette pockets that are currently sold in Australia.Few months back,Australian health ministry came up with this new regulation on tobacco industry that all the cigarette pocket covers should have these pics.

These pictures depicts mouth and forefoot of the person affected by cigarette smoking.It'll be a good move if Indian govt adapts this regulation on Indian tobacco industry.P.M.K guys can ask Dr.Anbumani Ramdoss(Health Minister) to act in this regard instead of going behind Actress Kushboo.

Latest survey on Indian tobacco user says 50% of the males in Tamilnadu and Pondichery are smokers .This figure is increasing 2% per year .5 lakh people are dying each year coz of tobacco related decease all over the world.In 2030, this figure is gonna be like 30 lakhs.If we call Tsumani as catastrophic incident(coz of 2 lakhs deaths) of this century ,How are we gonna call these incidents?

Let's look at this issue from a different angle.people are smoking and this number is increasing day by day. India with over a billion population is an excellent market for tobocco industry.What does it means to you and me apart from the fact that we also get affected by passive smoking?.

Can we make money out of it?

YES.By buying stocks in ITC(Indian tobocco Company) we can make money in the long term.Some finaicial facts about ITC is listed below,

ITC sells seven of every 10 cigarettes in India.It had a 36 percent gain in profit before a one-time expense, as demand for its tobacco and agriculture products increased.

ITC, which is 32 percent owned by British American Tobacco, sells cigarettes through more than two million outlets. The company is set to take advantage of restrictions placed on overseas tobacco companies, including limits on local manufacturing, at a time when higher economic growth is spurring Indian smokers to shift to costlier brands.

ITC has added new businesses such as foods, matches, incense sticks, apparel, deodorants, greeting cards and rural retail chains in the past six years, reducing dependence on tobacco. ITC's revenue from its 60 hotels rose 45 percent to 2.63 billion rupees. Profit before tax and one-time gains or costs gained 72 percent to 978 million rupees.

Dipak Acharya, a fund manager from BOB Asset Management in Mumbai says, "ITC will be able to maintain its growth momentum,There is no threat of competition in cigarettes. In hotels there is undersupply of rooms, and in paper, demand is outstripping supply."

The company's cigarette sales increased 15 percent, hotel revenue gained 45 percent, paper sales rose 15.6 percent and agriculture business surged 56 percent in the quarter.

Here you can analyse ITC's performance for the past 10 years.

What happens if we don't make money?

If we don't make money then we lose money in the form of our tax.WHO says,India could loose US$236 billions of dollars from it's national income over the next ten years as a result of heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.So,we'll better start making money in order to pay back later. :)

Last but not the least,
