THEIR hair tightly braided, two young girls sleep head-to-toe in matching pink dresses with gold trimâ€"a sight to gladden the heart were it not for the startling white bandages around their arms and legs. The beds in this ward are overflowing with patients, the rounded stumps of their amputated limbs pointing at the ceiling.
THE story of the meeting between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki has a beginning and an end, but no middle. It began with a statement from the American president.
INDIAâ€™S farmers should be the happiest in the world. For decades governments have showered them with perks including a blanket tax exemption; subsidies on fertiliser, seeds, energy and water for irrigation; low-interest loans; cheap crop insurance; high tariffs to block food imports; and price supports for more than 20 crops.
TALKING about the Korean peninsula at the moment inevitably means talking about the flurry of diplomatic efforts towards peace. Following a series of summits involving the leaders of North and South Korea, China and most recently the United States, things are a far cry from last summer.

YAD VASHEM, Israelâ€™s national authority for research and commemoration of the Holocaust, is a staid institute, as befits its role, and usually shies away from political controversy.
UNPRECEDENTED, unbelievable and earthquake: three words used in book titles to describe the outcome of Americaâ€™s most recent presidential election. Pundits are fond of blaming quantitative forecasters, trafficking in polls and probabilities, for their failure to foresee Donald Trumpâ€™s ascension to the presidency.
THE cold war between Ethiopia and neighbouring Eritrea once seemed irresolvable. An uneasy stalemate had endured since 2000, when a UN-brokered peace agreement ended two years of trench warfare that claimed about 80,000 lives and displaced more than half a million.
IF ALL America can be said to have been under attack when hijackers turned four airliners on it in 2001, the assault Russian agents launched on American democracy in 2016 represented a full-blown war.

Nod to Rs 11,336 cr capital infusion in 5 PSBsThe finance ministry today approved infusion of Rs 11,336 crore in five state-owned lenders including PNB, Corporation Bank and Andhra Bank to help them meet regulatory capital requirement, sources said.This is the first ever capital infusion in the current fiscal and the remaining amount of Rs 53,664 crore would be disbursed during the course of the year.As per the plan, the sources said, Punjab National Bank (PNB), hit by Nirav Modi scam, will get the highest amount of Rs 2,816 crore, while Allahabad Bank to get Rs 1,790 crore.Besides, Andhra Bank to get Rs 2,019 crore, Indian Overseas Bank - Rs 2,157 crore and Corporation Bank - Rs 2,555 crore.These banks have come under pressure because of interest payment to their bond holders of Additional Tier 1 (AT-1) bonds, the sources said.As a result, they were facing the risk of breaching the regulatory capital requirement, they said, adding that the ministry has decided to provide capital to 4-5 banks which are facing "acute shortage".Banks raise capital through AT1 bonds, which are perpetual in nature and therefore provide higher interest rate to investors. A high level of bad loans and widening losses have made it difficult for banks to service these bonds from their own earnings.The infusion would be part of remaining Rs 65,000 crore out of Rs 2.11 lakh crore capital infusion over two financial years.The government announced Rs 2.11 lakh crore capital infusion programme October last year. As per the plan, the public sector banks (PSBs) were to get Rs 1.35 lakh crore through re-capitalisation bonds, and the balance Rs 58,000 crore through raising of capital from the market.Out of the Rs 1.35 lakh crore, the government has already infused about Rs 71,000 crore through recap bonds in the banks and balance would be done during this fiscal.Besides, PSBs are also planning to tap the markets to raise more than Rs 50,000 crore this fiscal to shore up their capital base for business growth and meeting regulatory global risk norms.Capital is very much required for these banks as they are saddled with non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans of about Rs 10 lakh crore.Out of 21 public sector banks, 13 have already taken the approval of their boards or shareholders for raising capital through the equity market,The combined value of the shares sales of these banks is upwards of Rs 50,000 crore.Leading the pack is the Central Bank of India, which has already got shareholders' approval for raising Rs 8,000 crore equity capital through various means, including a follow-on public offer, rights issue or a qualified institutional placement (QIP), to shore up its capital base.
How Rahul stepped on a political landmineNEW DELHI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi has landed in a big controversy over his alleged remark that the Congress is a Muslim party. Several BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have amplified the issue by criticising Gandhi for his remarks. What did Gandhi actually say? Meeting with Muslim intellectualsOn July 11, Rahul held a meeting with several Muslim intellectuals. That's where he is said to have made that remark. The remark came to light when the next day Urdu newspaper Inquilab carried a story headlined 'Congress is a Muslim party'. But the party immediately refuted the story. The same day, Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted: "This is absolute lies & shameful spin by the newspaper. The BJP using it to further its own agenda, yet again, exposes their desperate tactics to mislead the nation. However, this will not deter us to fight for India's founding principles & its democratic values."What did the Urdu daily report?According to AltNews, Urdu daily Inquilab reported Rahul as saying, â€œIf BJP says that Congress is a party of Muslims, it is fine. Congress is a party of Muslims, because Muslims are weak and Congress always stands with the weak." A Muslim intellectual refutes Historian S. Irfan Habib, a participant in the July 11 meeting, denied that Rahul made any such remark."He didn't say that at all. I didn't hear it. Nobody will say that. BJP, a majoritarian party, will never say that. No party would ever say that," Habib told IANS. "He spoke about the poor sections of society, which have been the strength of the Congress all these years."Editor stands by his storyHowever, Mumtaz Alam Rizvi, the editor of Inquilab, stood by his story which claimed Gandhi had made the remark during his meeting with Muslim intellectuals. "Why is Congress being defensive and saying that Rahul Gandhi didn't say it [Congress is a Muslim party]. He proudly said it," said Rizvi, according to an ANI report. Rizvi also claimed that even president of Congress's minority cell Nadim Javed had vouched for the story. "Javed was present in the meeting. He has already clarified on record that there was nothing wrong in our story," Rizvi claimed. However, according to IANS, Javed later told a news channel, "To say that Congress is only the party of Muslims is a very stupid thing to say. The Congress president can't say this.

WTO's survival at risk as trade war looms: ExpertsGENEVA: The credibility and survival of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is under "serious threat" as major economies put up protectionist barriers, independent experts warned on Tuesday.The report issued by the Bertelsmann Foundation comes amid a deepening trade dispute between China and the United States which has engulfed other major trading partners.US President Donald Trump has warned he may ultimately impose tariffs on more than $500 billion worth of Chinese goods - nearly the total amount of US imports from China last year - to combat what Washington says are Beijing's trade abuses.China has sworn to retaliate at each step.The 14 experts, led by Bernard Hoekman, urged WTO's 164 member states to agree on a new work programme that will address trade-distorting policies and preserve the multilateral rule-based trading system."Sticking to status quo modes of operating is a recipe for the institution's gradual demise," they said in the report, "Revitalizing Multilateral Governance at the World Trade Organization".It is urgent to avoid "further erosion of the WTO's credibility", they said, adding: "This includes preventing backsliding by WTO members towards unilateral use of protectionist trade policies and ensuring that disputes are resolved effectively and efficiently."In a statement, WTO director general Roberto Azevedo welcomed the "very timely" report.The United States told the WTO last week that a "reckoning" over China's unfair trade policies is urgent and is too big for the WTO to handle.The experts said that problems go beyond the failure to conclude the WTO's stalled Doha round, launched in 2001, with some national policies distorting trade and threatening to undermine the system.The report cited the US invoking national security concerns to impose tariffs and quotas on imports of selected products as a prime example."Such measures create systemic risks given the prospect of tit-for-tat imposition of trade-distorting measures and greater use of national security justifications by WTO members for the imposition of protectionist measures," it said.China and India also feel that the WTO is unbalanced and treats them unfairly, the report said.Failure to clinch new WTO agreements has led states to set up more than 400 preferential trade agreements since 2000, it said."Care must be taken that the baby is not thrown out with the bathwater," it said. "All countries, large and small, have a major stake in an effective, rules-based multilateral trading system."More than 500 disputes have been brought to the WTO since 1995, the report said.Under Trump, the United States has demanded that the WTO's dispute system is changed to stop Washington getting what he regards as an "unfair deal".Trump has also blocked appointments to the WTO's appeals chamber to replace judges as their terms expire."If this matter is not resolved, the Appellate Body will be down to 3 members in September 2018, the minimum needed to consider an appeal, and will cease to be operational at the end of 2019 when two more vacancies arise," the report said.
Numetal to NCLAT: Aurora Enterprises have no control over firmRussia's VTB Capital-backed Numetal today said Ruia family scion Rewant will never be in management of Essar Steel even though the rules do not bar blood relations of delinquent promoters from bidding for loan defaulter companies being auctioned to recover dues.During the proceedings of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), senior advocate Mihir Thakore representing Numetal said that the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) does not disqualify anyone based on blood relations.Aurora Enterprises Ltd (AEL) had 25 per cent shareholding in Numetal."AEL would never be in management control of Numetal or the corporate debtor (Essar Steel) in future," Thakore submitted.He further said that VTB has 75 per cent shareholding of Numetal and owns the company and is a promotor.On being asked by the appellate tribunal, whether blood relations are barred under Section 29A of the IBC, to bid for a company, he replied no."Blood relations are not barred under Section 29A," he said.The insolvency and bankruptcy law bars participation by promoters of delinquent companies in bidding for assets being auctioned.The two-member NCLAT bench headed by Chairman S J Mukhopadhaya has asked both resolution applicants -- Numetal and ArcelorMittal to file their written submissions on section 29A by Friday.NCLAT had earlier asked for confirmation that Rewant Ruia as a shareholder of Numetal through AEL does not have business or financial relation with Ravi Ruia for the purposes of Numetal's bid.Numetal submitted to NCLAT the declarations received by it, before submission of bid, from its shareholders and their beneficiaries, including Rewant Ruia, that they are compliant with Section 29A.AEL and Rewant Ruia had also given specific undertakings and confirmations to the Resolution Professional that they are not acting in concert with the promoters of Essar Steel including Ravi Ruia, father of Rewant Ruia.The NCLAT took note of same and also noted that no evidence of acting in concert has been provided by Committee of Creditors or ArcelorMittal.Numetal further argued that AEL or Rewant Ruia are not promoters of or in control or in management of Numetal and that there is no interpretation of Section 29A by way of which any person acting in concert with or a related party of Rewant Ruia could be put to test under Section 29A.Even if corporate veil of Numetal is lifted for the purposes of Section 29A, only related parties of controlling shareholders of Numetal (VTB bank, TPE) can be put to test. Rewant Ruia himself does not suffer from any of the ineligibilities under Section 29A, it argued.The NCLAT on May 22 ordered status quo on insolvency of Essar Steel for two months as it admitted petitions of Numetal and ArcelorMittal over the bidding eligibility.Numetal and ArcelorMittal have filed petitions in the NCLAT challenging the disqualification of their first round of bids.Both, Numetal and ArcelorMittal put in bids in the second round after their offers in the first round were opined to be invalid.Numetal faced disqualification as its 25 per cent stake was owned by Aurora Trust of Ruia family, the promoters of Essar Steel, while ArcelorMittal's first bid was rejected because of its holding shares in loan defaulting companies Uttam Galva Steel and KSS Petron.For the second round of bid, VTB Bank sought to sever ties with the Ruia family by buying out Aurora Trusts stake in Numetal. ArcelorMittal transferred Rs 7,000 crore to an escrow account of SBI to clear outstanding loans of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron.In the second round of bidding, Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Resources also joined the race. Also, JSW joined Numetal for the bid.
Don't let JAL's assets be used for refunding money to home buyers: Banks to SCNEW DELHI: Banks and financial institutions (FIs), which have lent money to Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL), today urged the Supreme Court that the assets of holding firm JAL should not used for refunding money to home buyers of its subsidiary firm Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL).JAL, which has already deposited Rs 750 crore with the apex court registry, had told the bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra that it was willing to deposit Rs 600 crore more to refund money to the home buyers if it was allowed to dispose of its identified assets, including a cement plant at Rewa in Madhya Pradesh.Senior advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for the consortium of banks and FIs led by ICICI Bank, said while JAL has moved the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Allahabad with its restructuring plan. JAL's subsidiary firm JIL owes money to home buyers and was undergoing liquidation process.Stressing the need for segregating the two issues, Divan told the bench, also comprising justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, that the exposure of banks and FIs in JAL was to the tune of Rs 21,593 crore, out of which Rs 4,750 crore was of ICICI."These are two (JAL and JIL) separate legal entities and if JAL was forced to pay for JIL then it will have adverse impact on JAL," he said, adding that JAL's scheme on restructuring was pending with the NCLT, and the RBI can also be taken on board in the matter.Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP), referred to the amended provision of the insolvency law and said that now home buyers have also been included in the list of creditors whose interests can be secured in the insolvency proceedings.The hearing on the pleas of home buyers remained inconclusive and would continue tomorrow.JAL had earlier told the court it would deposit Rs 600 crore more to refund the home buyers if it was allowed to dispose of its identified assets, including a cement plant at Rewa in Madhya Pradesh.Senior advocate Fali S Nariman had said that JAL has already deposited Rs 750 crore with the apex court registry and, for paying the principal amount to the home buyers, it would pay Rs 600 crore more in seven installments.The firm be granted a prior approval "to dispose of identified cement assets including its cement plant at Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, he had said."To enable JAL to do this, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Allahabad may kindly be directed by this court to proceed forthwith to decide and pass appropriate orders on its (JAL) plea for sanctioning the Scheme of Arrangement, propounded pursuant to Master Restructuring Agreement signed and accepted by all 32 creditors of JAL."The Scheme of Arrangement is already filed with the NCLT, Allahabad and the NCLT in its Order dated January 25, 2018 has sought for appropriate directions from this Court," Nariman had said.He had also referred to the impediments in the timely delivery of homes to the home buyers and said now the situation has become grave.Earlier, the bench had said it would ask the NCLT at Allahabad to expeditiously decide JAL's plea on restructuring of its subsidiary firm JIL if they deposit Rs 600 crore for refunding principal amount to home buyers who have opted out of housing projects.Prior to this, it had directed JAL to deposit 1,000 crore, in addition to Rs 750 crore already deposited, by June 15 to provide refunds to the home buyers who had wished to opt out of its various housing schemes.The home buyers had moved the apex court stating that around 32,000 people had booked flats and were now paying instalments.The plea had also stated that hundreds of home buyers were left in the lurch after the NCLT, on August 10 last year, admitted the IDBI Bank's plea to initiate insolvency proceedings against the debt-ridden realty firm for allegedly defaulting on a Rs 526-crore loan.
Adani group has never defaulted on any loan, says Karan AdaniWe like to be in confidence of the government when making any investments. If the government does not want it, whether it is BJP or Congress, then we do not pursue that, Karan Adani, CEO, APSEZ.Edited excerpts: Your power business is in trouble and has accumulated a lot of debt. What are you doing about it?Power industry is going through turmoil and it is a part of the business cycle. But we are very confident that we will come out of this phase. In terms of debt, we are very comfortable because all these debts are backed by solid assets. They are performing assets. Majority of the debt is in power business. But all the debt -- whether in power or ports or mining -- have been backed by performing assets.Power is now being seen as a major drain on the Adani Group. It has led to political leaders like Subramaniam Swami talking about the financial health of Adani Group and talking about NPAs etc?It is an issue of people not understanding the overall picture and just looking the number as a standalone. We have five listed companies. Two of these are investment-grade rated companies, whether it is Adani Port or Adani Transmission. Adani Enterprise in which we have the edible oil business, the coal mining business also has solid assets. All these are making profits and the most important part is as a group we have never defaulted on a loan. Even at this stage. when power is going through a tough time. we have never defaulted on any of our loans.Has that been a lesson for you and the Adani group that maybe debt is not always the best option and it is best not to get over-leveraged?Yes, it has been a learning curve for us and we are taking steps in terms of deleveraging and to make sure that we do not reach a position of stress.In Adani Ports, are you happy with the financials or the balance sheet? Yes, at APSEZ, in last two years, we have had free cash flow generation. Our net debt to EBIDTA has been consistently coming down. Last to last year, we were at 3.1 net debt to EBIDTDA. This year, we have closed at 2.4 and the debt will keep coming down. Most of our assets are now coming on line and our capex cycle has also come down.You have just done a big acquisition in Tamil Nadu from L&T that is Rs 1900 crore. It is your foray into south India and it has taken two years to close. How can you say your capex is going down? Are you looking at inorganic growth?We also have free cash flow generation and that is going to increase every year because most of our ports are ramping up capacity. Our volumes are increasing and monetisation on SEZs is also happening. How are you monetising the SEZ?We have two models. One is where we build infrastructure for the tenants and then we lease it out. Similarly, we have the container terminal. The second option is that we give upfront lease land to any of the manufacturers.When we were driving here I did see the signs for Maruti Suzuki, HPCL, IOC and Britannia. Are these all your tenants? These are all our tenants and apart from just giving them land, we give them the port service. Our model is to look for people for whom port is a major part of their logistics cost and who require efficient handling.Going back to the inorganic growth strategy, if you are investing Rs 1900 core to buy L&T stake in Tamil Nadu, I am sure you have other such plans as well in other ports?We have 10 ports across India and there are only two states left where we do not have a position. These are Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. We are looking at the opportunity -- both organically and inorganically. The reason I say organically is because not a lot of right assets are available for sale. So, we have to evaluate looking at what is the requirement in terms of the future of the business and at the same time what is the right price to pay.There is a very strong perception that the Adani Group is very close to the current government, to Narendra Modi and the political establishment in New Delhi. Why does that perception exist if it is not true?My father knows the Prime Minister from even before he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. It is more of a personal relationship that they enjoy because they enjoy each otherâ€™s ideology and they respect that. Our philosophy is very simple that you have to be in confidence of the government when you are making any investments. So, if the government does not want it, whether it is the state or the central government, whether it is BJP or Congress, if they do not want it, then we do not pursue that. And the third most is that we...But have you invested more with the BJPâ€™s government over the Congress government?It is a good question because when our current prime minister was the chief minister of Gujarat, during that period we invested more outside of Gujarat than in Gujarat and most of the investments that we made were in Congress-led governments.I am seeing this whole host of construction. I believe this is an LPG terminal coming up?Yes. So, this is Indiaâ€™s largest LPG terminal. It will be ready by December of this year and has a capacity of 3.2 million tons. It also has the largest tanks available in India.Why have you decided to build an LPG terminal?We believe that going forward, India is going to focus a lot on gas and gas-based and the country is going to move into a gas-based economy. We do not have world class infrastructure to manage gas or to import gas, whether it is LPG or LNG. That is where we come in to build a LPG terminal.Are you going to tell me that whether it is an ONGC or Reliance Industries, we do not have such a structure?Right now, no.It is a big play that you are making via the ports company into the gas business?This is purely a terminalling company. We are not going to be taking any business bets on the gas itself. We are here to provide service to any company which wants to import gas into India.When you joined Adani Ports in 2009, did you join at the top or the bottom?I joined at the bottom. The first year I was at the port learning the operations right at the ground level. I was not officially part of the group and not a lot of people knew that I was here.What would you say your second name was?I never said what was my second name at that time.So if somebody asked your name what did you say?I just gave my first name.They had no idea this is the bossâ€™s son?Not a lot of people knew about it and that is how my father had wanted me to understand the nitty gritty of the ports operations.Do you think you will just stay with the port business? What are your ambitions, what are your dreams?First in the port business, we have a long, long way to go. I would not say that groupâ€™s ambitions are satisfied with what we have. Our ambition is to be the worldâ€™s largest port operator developer based out of India and we still have a long way to go.You have already told me how you entered south India. You have to enter Andhra Pradesh as well as Maharashtra. How are you going to become the worldâ€™s largest port company?Our next stage of growth is to go within the region. We are looking at countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and the eastern part of Africa. We chose these countries is we believe that our existing assets that is Mundra, Dhamra can play an anchor role in driving volumes and business between the two ports. Do you have ambitions for other kinds of businesses?There is a lot of room to grow in the logistics space also. There are a lot of new businesses that can be started and that is what we would look for.Where within the logistics business are you looking at?We still have a whole space of air cargo, airports.Is that something you are looking at?We would look at it because at the end of the day, it is all linked to the logistics. We would be happy to look at it and expanding this business as well.Would that be the natural progression of air cargo and logistics?I think so.You have 40000 acres at the Mundra SEZ. So, it would be from here?It could be from here. We already have an airport over here, air strip and we would look at starting something from here but we will also look at within the country as well.And by when do you think you will do this?It is a tricky question. We will look at the right opportunity. I do not think we would look at it from a financial point of view but rather getting the right asset.So, you could look at inorganic growth for entry?Yes, we could.What is happening in Australia?In Australia, we have got all the government approvals for the rail, mine and the port. We have got all the environment approvals as well. We have completed the financing of the mine, the port is already operational. We are just closing on the financing on the rail part. Once that is done, we will start the operations.So, all the clearances are in because we just keep hearing sometimes the Queensland government has said yes and then no/No, no, no. All the approvals are in place.You are just waiting to close the financing for the railways? How much would you need?The project will cost almost a billion dollars.
Easier to make 15-20% on shorts in some stocks: Samir AroraNobody has the energy to buy at corrections now, says Samir Arora, Founder & Fund Manager, Helios Capital. Arora says there are stocks where it is easier to make 15-20% on shorts than 20% on longs in next 6-9 months.Edited excerpts: You are right now telling your twitter followers to take it easy. Correct. You would be absolutely right if you say where is the bear market when you look at the largecaps and where is the bull market if you look at midcaps. One way is to wait for one direction. We always have a mix of largecaps and smallcaps. 30% is midcaps and 70% is largish which works very well over time. It saves you a little bit of pain in these times and when you are doing well.You might be underperforming a little but because we are a hedged fund, it does not look that painful. Last year, many funds may have done 5% to 7% better than us. Overall a mix is the best because really nobody knows how far these things can go. Is this volatility a good buying opportunity? When we look back at July 2018, will this be considered a buying opportunity or is this the reality and the excesses in the market will continue to get weeded out. Could we be in this downturn for an extended period of time? The question is how far ahead do you look? If you look ahead and say â€™23, maybe â€˜18 would look great! Even end of 18 would be great but normally people do not have that long a horizon. So, we have to say whether it will be materially lower three-six months down the line. I do not have an answer to that but I cannot imagine that it will be materially higher. So, we will remain with our 60% type net but for a completely new investor, I would say buy systematically, buy SIP. If you have to tell him buy one time, I do not think you have to tell him that buy today. He can wait but obviously when we say to investors buy over time, you get the average that will remain. I do not have to give you an interview. If I were sleeping, my machine might answer saying do not market time and all that but your question is different. You question is whether today is a good time per se. I do not think it is. The big picture principles will never change -- do not try to time, do not try to think that you know more than the market -- I am part of that story telling. But if you really want to discuss whether what is happening right now is good or bad, I do not think this market is going anywhere. That is why it reminds you of shayari (poetry) because that is what you just recently tweeted. When I am in office, most of our stocks are very long-term. We add some shorts as we go along. Rest of the time I am reading or checking my emails and I am on Bloomberg so this is to keep myself busy. A time like this when market direction may not be very clear or if you do not feel compelled to deploy funds, is it a great time to indulge in a lot of research to figure out opportunities? What is coming up on your radar in terms of some of the trends that could be in the making?That is normally very difficult to say. You have seen the amount of money that has been made in shorts right now you have seen. It is quite amazing and so right now the energy is in finding shorts. These shorts can go on to make another 20%. Many of these shorts individually and not collectively have made 40-50%. This year was a dream and right now there is no energy for buying at correction. Right now there is energy in saying which of them are going toward zero and they are quite a few. Now zero does not mean literally zero, please understand. What I mean is there are many stocks where it is easier to make 15-20% on shorts than to make 20% on longs in the next six-nine months before hopefully all these things settle down relative to India, election, politics, etc. But there is plenty to short out there. What do you short because it is a problem of too many right now? Basically, we have realised that right now the market and the market participants do not have energy to aggressively buy anything which has a problem. In the older days, somebody could say I am bullish, now it is hands off. You get one line of problem. It does not matter that the stock is down 5-10%. It will go down another 15-20%. You give me any example other than a high quality name. The good thing is that there are two hundred and some four listed single stock futures and if 30-40 of them have a problem, that is enough to make serious money and nobody is going to go against them. They have to check two things; one, it should have large institutional ownership currently because none of these guys will be able to handle a bad event or a bad issue; and b) it should be in futures and somewhat liquid. I liked your deep meaning tweet yesterday where you said â€œtrade light, that is wear a T shirt, keep the shirt dry (bigger funds) to be worn (deployed) when the time is right. â€ When according to you would the time be right? By the way even I discovered that meaning today that this is what the tweet meant!You have got too much spare time in your hand. It is better to do something constructive. The point is we are not a typical viewer in the sense that we are always in the market. Even today, whatever I may say -- bullish, bearish -- I am 60% or 58% or 62% net in the market and that is my longer term average. My goal in a period like 2014 may be 70% net. I have to move only 10%. It is an ongoing thing for us and it is never a start if we lost money on some shorts. If we cover four shorts, we will be 70% net. So, do not look at us and say what are you doing everyday because for us it is chiselling. The main structure is already there and the question is which are the long and which are the shorts precisely on that day.I might cover three of the shorts and suddenly become 68% net even I do not know ahead of time. The point is. there are some sectors doing well and some sectors are doing badly but the overall market is not doing well and because of experience, we accept it and because of experience we laugh at it and because of experience we can even tell our investors that this is the way the market is this year because last three years were very good and they accept it. It is that kind of an environment where from an India point of view, there is no help. I am talking about the regulatory help for attracting foreign money right now. There are at least 10 problems because no India dedicated fund has the time to raise even $1 as there are issues about tax, about whether even I as an NRI can own this AMC or whether I should give the shares to my secretary to make it look like a foreigner owns it? There are so many things which have basically stalled for the moment, but because we are humorous guys and India dedicated. We say what a great thing! Talk about a subject that youhave taken up you in your tweets. I want you to elaborate on the corporate governance issue. You were actually saying that individuals who slip up on corporate governance should be brought under the scanner. But what is your larger theme? No, no. The big point I made was that we let go of corporate governance too easily. We let go of reporting things saying it does not matter, the parent will look after this company. That is not the point. It is like saying if I go and go steal from a shop and after I am caught, I say I am willing to pay. But we cannot do so. We are not supposed to talk about anything. But we cannot let go of corporate governance saying it was never our intention. It is never anybodyâ€™s intention. If you are caught, you are caught. You cannot say that I give you this guarantee. When you say that you are slightly cautious, your long exposure comes down to 60% â€¦ No, no. My net exposure, not long exposure. Of course, net exposure. When you are generally bullish, it is the other way round at 70%. What are you cautious about -- earnings recovery or rich valuations that HULs and Britannias of the world have started commanding? I am cautious about the fact that there are two markets. One part of the market have the state owned banks, telecom etc which are doing badly. What I mean by stock market sense is for them to fall 10-20%. On the other hand, from a big picture angle, for the whole market to do well FIIs have to come back and fund managers have to go and bang the table that they are there. But there is no support, in fact it is negative. You are in the middle of the earnings and if you go by what TCS and Infy have said, then the talk in the market is about looking up on IT. HUL also had good numbers, good growth. The bellwether names seem to be doing well. We are not shorting those stocks. They have become two markets where one market is doing well and one is doing badly. But the overall market which contains this relative difference between two groups, is great from a long-short point of view but it is not being held by what we are doing. Whether it is eight stocks or 10 stocks is debatable but the market appears really narrow. Indiaâ€™s biggest IT company is sitting at an all-time high. Indiaâ€™s biggest FMCG company, biggest private bank, biggest energy company -- all are at all-time highs. Some would argue that this selection of stocks at an all-time high is very widespread. It is not like that. Broadly speaking, what this means is that 20-30 companies which are leaders are doing well. You have to take a bet whether this can continue over time. So either the rest of the market has to catch up with the largecaps or the largecaps have to back off a little bit. If the market had wider confidence, it could be that the wider market catches up. Right now, it is in a sort of a stalled mode where you cannot imagine too much of this spread increasing. I think that the spread will come down but the midcaps and small caps will not go up but may be the largecaps will correct just a little bit. The overall flows into the market have been heard by our own actions. Would you go short on Levers, Bajaj Finance, Britannias of the world? They are all good compounders but expensive consumer staples and consumer durable stocks? No, we will not go short on these stocks. In the past, we were long on some of them. The reason why we will not go short is because we have realised that if the market corrects, it will correct a little bit and would not fall 10%. These stocks may underperform over a year-two year period but from a shorting point of view it is unlikely that they will suddenly fall 10% in the absence of a crisis. If there is a crisis and they fall 10%. then the rest of the group will fall 20% from here. So, there is no point in shorting them. You may be underweight on them and use the proceeds on something else but shorting them has never worked.
Why is Facebook keen on robots? It's just the future of AIFacebook announced several new hires of top academics in the field of artificial intelligence Tuesday, among them a roboticist known for her work at Disney making animated figures move in more human-like ways.The hires raise a big question - why is Facebook interested in robots, anyway?It's not as though the social media giant is suddenly interested in developing mechanical friends, although it does use robotic arms in some of its data centers. The answer is even more central to the problem of how AI systems work today.Today, most successful AI systems have to be exposed to millions of data points labeled by humans - like, say, photos of cats - before they can learn to recognize patterns that people take for granted. Similarly, game-playing bots like Google's computerized Go master AlphaGo Zero require tens of thousands of trials to learn the best moves from their failures.Creating systems that require less data and have more common sense is a key goal for making AI smarter in the future."Clearly we're missing something in terms of how humans can learn so fast," said Yann LeCun, Facebook's chief AI scientist, in a call with reporters last week. "So far the best ideas have come out of robotics."Among the people Facebook is hiring are Jessica Hodgins , the former Disney researcher; and Abhinav Gupta, her colleague at Carnegie Mellon University who is known for using robot arms to learn how to grasp things.Pieter Abbeel, a roboticist at University of California, Berkeley and co-founder of Covariant.ai, says the robotics field has benefits and constraints that push progress in AI. For one, the real world is naturally complex, so robotic AI systems have to deal with unexpected, rare events. And real-world constraints like a lack of time and the cost of keeping machinery moving push researchers to solve difficult problems."Robotics forces you into many reality checks," Abbeel said. "How good are these algorithms, really?"There are other more abstract applications of learnings from robotics, says Berkeley AI professor Ken Goldberg. Just like teaching a robot to escape from a computerized maze, other robots change their behavior depending on whether actions they took got them closer to a goal. Such systems could even be adapted to serving ads, he said - which just happens to be the mainstay of Facebook's business."It's not a static decision, it's a dynamic one," Goldberg said.For Facebook, planting a flag in the hot field also allows it to be competitive for AI talent emerging from universities, Facebook's LeCun said.Bart Selman, a Cornell computer science professor AI expert, said it's a good idea for Facebook to broaden its reach in AI and take on projects that might not be directly related to the company's business - something that's a little more "exciting" - the way Google did with self-driving cars, for example.This attracts not just attention, but students, too. The broader the research agenda, the better the labs become, he said.
