Current affairs briefing for 2nd March, 2008

Hi friends,

Here goes our link for today:

http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/03/02032008.html

In today's briefing:

1.  Can you recollect the name of CBDT Chairman?  What does CBDT stand for by the way?

2.  What impact will the recent budget's hike in capital gains tax have?

3.  Remember Warren Buffet? The legendary investor CEO from the US?  What is the company that he heads?  How much profit does it generate a year? 

4.  Let's get a picture of the US defence spending by comparing with our defence budget.

5.  At the same time let us compare US and our budget sizes.  This gives us some perspective.

6.  Heard of 'Bullet magnet'?  That is the nickname given to somebody prominent.  Who is it?

7.  The world's oldest vaccine destroyed.

8.  Remember the Doomsday Vault?  If you had been following the blog, you would surely know it.

9.  What is the Time Preference Theory of Interest.  Very interesting.

That's it for today.  Happy reading.
