In 1998, Long-Term Capital Management L.P., a hedge fund run by a battalion of mathematicians, computer scientists, and two Nobel Prize–winning economists, lost more than $2 billion in a matter of weeks on a huge bet that the bond market would return to “normal.” But the bond market kept right on becoming more and more abnormal—and LTCM had borrowed so much money that its collapse nearly capsized the global financial system. And back in the sp ring of 1720, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England. Sensing that the market was getting out of hand, the great physicist muttered that he “could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.” Newton dumped his South Sea shares, pocketing a 100% profit totaling £7,000. But just months later, swept up in the wild enthusiasm of the market, Newton jumped back in at a much higher price—and lost £20,000 (or more than $3 million in today’s money). Sir Isaac Newton wa...

There is an ongoing campaign against Kumasi based filmmakers admonishing them NOT to make any film about Major Maxwell Adam Mahama. This campaign also has arguably, the best actress in Ghana, Nana Ama Mcbrown's voice in it when she was interviewd by TV3 at the funeral of the late military man. She said "I am pleading with every producer in Kumasi to respect him/herself not to make any movie out the sad event. Even if they are going to use it as a story, they shouldn't tell it as it is" One post on social media which startled me was "Herhh Kumawood! Don't even think about any Major Maxwell Mahama amanehunu 1,2,3 and nonsense biaa oo. Yoo! Shit ain't funny!" Does it mean Kumasi based filmmakers glorify themselves in tragedy? Or does it mean everything made from the industry is for fun and jokes? My question now is even if we should, can't #GhanaFilms ('Ghallywood', 'Kumawood', and others) make a movie with him(Major Mahama) ...

Good morning! Yesterday, wasn't a happy day for my dear Krobos due to that line in Sarkodie's rap re-echoing a 'statement' purported to have been uttered by Komfo Anokye, the Chief priest of the Ashanti Kingdom. Seriously to be cursed with promiscuity is the last thing anyone would expect. Such form of historical or tribal myth is something we all as one nation should avoid from growing into the minds of the next generation after us. With much  respect, I am glad a lot of people which even involves most of the tribes in the Akan ethnic group have been debunking that claims. Awesome on our part. However, those campaigning with the hashtag  # Sarkodieshouldapologize , are you all ok? You all need to take several steps back and sit your ass down! I really don't know your agenda. The same goes for some fans of certain artistes. Look at them! Whether Sarkodie (because he is a celebrity?) apologizes or not this won't change, although I hope he does. Why do I...
