Comment Shall we stop dreaming? (Score 1) 396
If you think that the stock market is unimportant for us, do a rethink. With the Nasdaq plunging down, even the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) of India has taken beatings. I am Indian, and am happy to see that India has been doing good in software. That's why I am here!
But India is a poor country. And most programmers don't have money to do their dream project. But with the so called 'IT Revolution' happening in India, we have the guts to go out there and announce a project. The capital comes in, and the work starts. We owe this to the stock exchange (BSE) here. And, in turn, the BSE owes it to Nasdaq.
The Net has created a revolution of freedom. Even the poor programmer can do big stuff. That's why I love these times. But in this freedom, we need not forget that we still need money to buy a computer. Alright the software might be free. But lunch is not free! Money is IMPORTANT, and hence is the stock market.
If the stocks are over-valued, take a breath. It is people's ambitions that are over-valued. We have dreams, and we have high regard for them. With the stocks plunging, we have realised the reality that goes with our dreams. But does that mean we stop dreaming? NO! Just as /necessity is the mother of invention/, /the dream is the mother of achievement/!.
Money plays a vital role in our existense, and just as everything else, even software comes from money. Stock Market discussions are NOT off-topic here! Don't you think so?
PS: 1 US dollar = 43 Indian rupees (approx.). Look at it from my point-of-view too guys! A PC costs approx. Rs. 50,000 here. That is an average Indian's 20 months' income (everything approx.). But the stock market boom is a great leveller. Even /I/ can do a mega project now, because there are venture capitalists out there, ready to invest in my idea! Would that be possible without the Nasdaq boom?
