Herd behaviour has made markets volatile
Excerpts >Bewildering truths nothing but truths about the whole thing - !
<For those of us who have been bewildered by the twists and turns of this unfolding drama, there are some new lessons to be learnt about the efficiency of markets, the psychology of herds and the consequent irrationality of market behaviour and prices. .....
To cut a long story short, what this herd behaviour does is vitiate the basic principles that Economics 101 teaches. When prices rise, demand actually rises in response instead of decreasing. Everyone is human and likes to get rich and so jumps on the bandwagon. Rationality, that should drive prices back to fair values, goes on a picnic. The guys transacting on the fact rather than the rumour end up losing their own or their clients' shirts or pants and are overrun by a tsunami triggered by the hooves of the herd. An asset bubble then emerges. >
<> Quickly reflecting a common man’s reaction > The writer very truthfully brings to focus, point blank, the pervading truth, nothing but the truth, behind the whole economic scenario threatening to engulf the very fundamentals of so called and loudly trumpeted, but deceptively so ,- 'economic growth'!
The roguish forces driving the economy in a crazy manner and wrong direction, like a drunken car driver, compendiously named ‘soothsayers’ are undoubtedly responsible for the tragedy fast enveloping the health of the nation,- as impressively stressed in the two paras. with opening words, - “For those of us who have been bewildered by the twists and turns of this unfolding drama, ....”and “To cut a long story short, what this herd behaviour does is vitiate the basic principles that Economics 101 teaches. ....” alarmingly sums up the surrounding threat. The sooner every right thinking person, -amongst the specially enlightened populace, not barring those wearing the cloak of ‘regulatory authority (ies)’, howsoever in a minority they happen to be, - wake up and speedily conceive of ways and means, and put into effective action, to the end of stopping the march towards the impending disaster, the burst of the cryptically called ‘asset bubble’, the better hopes for survival.

Panel to frame norms to help apartment owners
Xcerpts
< "Anomalies in the construction and ownership of apartments are a common problem these days due to lack of regulatory measures, so we're framing new rules,'' said UDD principal secretary PN Sreenivaschary.
The panel comprises members of the departments of town planning, parliamentary affairs and cooperative societies, BBMP and BDA. It'll mainly look at revising the existing Karnataka Ownership Flats (Regulation of the Promotion of Construction, Sale, Management and Transfer) Act, 1973 (KOFA) and the Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act, 1972 (KAOA). The aim is to come up with a new legislation after removing all the loopholes in these Acts.
Acting on suggestions of officials as well as civil society, the committee is expected to submit its report by December. It'll take into consideration the Model Apartments Bill and the Real Estate Bill of the Centre, before mooting new rules for the implementation of the Karnataka Apartment Ownership Bill Act, 2012. >< ???????????????....
Businessman Raghunath Giridhar, who owns a flat in an apartment complex off Tumkur Road, found the builder converting a large portion of the premises into a commercial enterprise. When he challenged it in court, there was ambiguity as the apartment was registered under the Cooperative Societies Act which doesn't clearly define powers and functions.>
< Not at all surprising that ,-"There are no comments on this article yet."
Coming to think of it > While the reported development in a way makes for a breather, nonetheless sounds a bolt from the blue. No commoner seems to have even heard of before hence no knowing what the two ‘Bills’ and one “Bill Act” really refer to. As to what exactly those are and do have in store for a betterment or improvement of the long obtaining state of affairs remains a mystery. At least a brief account would have been of help. To add, -no useful info. is readily available even in any of the realty related governmental or other websites. Any help?
Far from lacking in clarity, very confusing and ...must have sent jitters down the spine of those with some reasonable know of..but been continuing to live in animated suspense - in sin, with a deep sense of helpless and hapless remorseful feelings and thoughts. ?!
What really is in store is anybody's guess , nay wild imagination !
