London Creative Labs Was honoured to meet BRAC UK yesterday. What an impressive outfit. On very little budget the have already affected thousands of women and young people in East London. At first the kids were not interested but when they changed the name of a training from "financial education" to "money management" wanted to learn :-)

I think the big issue had a similar experience when they changed the name of their training from budgeting workshops to how to run your own business or something of that nature. It's a simple coaching technique really. If you raise the bar people will get thru the smaller stuff attempting to attain the higher goal!

Ephraim high dividend yielding stocks are the best long term investments. say your stock price falls dramatically, and there is a dividend basket to offset your shareholders' losses, you could bounce back up by getting your investors to buy on the low with those funds, that's how it works. in a capitalistic society, greed is k...ept in check by risk, why no losses and dividends? it will be a very bumpy ride. just my cents.

Lots of interesting points you make Ephraim. Taking just one for now, don't make the mistake of confusing Social Enterprise with Social Business. They are similar but not the same. Social Enterprise was indeed inspired by charities. Social Business came out of Yunus' hands-on experience fighting poverty & hunger in Bangladesh. Social Business ... See Moreis about making a real difference. It is not however about curing all that ails mankind. Haven't heard of Liquid Floride Thorium reactor technology. Will check out. Vinay "leashless" Gupta is a huge fan of thin-film nanosolar which he believes is on the brink of a price/performance breakthrough in terms of cheap, abundant solar energy. Will follow up on other points.
