In today's briefing:

1.  Foreign portfolio investors may be allowed directly.  In this context look at what is meant by a PN and what is a sub-account.

2.  Progress on Sir Creek dispute with Pakistan.  Nothing much.  But look at our stand and their stand.

3.  Have a penchant for knowing the numbers involved in saving man hours/work hours etc., consequent to India losing the World Cup match?  Take a look.

4.  Textile cess likley to be removed.

5.  What is Target Plus scheme? 

6.  What is Dwell time in shipping?

7.  Ever heard of the national telemedicine grid?  Whose idea is it anyway?

8.  Let's have a quick recap of the poverty figures.

9.  See the side effects of FTAs.  Our Vanaspati Industry goes for a toss!!  I am not against FTAs though.

10.  Why is IPO grading a bad idea?  I differ with today's ET editorial.  I am in favour of the grading.

11.  Ever heard of the Bay of Pigs invasion?  We start with a famous quote attributed to Kennedy and learn something in the process.

12.  Why should banks have more capital? 

13.  Look at how much does it cost to host Olympic games.

That's all for today.  Happy reading.
