Welcome to Stock Bangladesh.com!

Our mission is simple - to make you a better investor so that you can invest conveniently at Bangladesh stock exchange. Our Stock Bangladesh tool lets you create the web's best looking financial charts for technical analysis. Our Scan Engine shows you the Bangladesh share market's best investing opportunities.

In today's world, if you rely on fundamental analysis, brokers advise, share price information, newspaper articles or business channels for your investing or trading decisions, you are asking for a painful experience in the markets.

Whether you are a first time investor, a seasoned pro, an "in and out" day trader or a long term investor at Dhaka stock exchange, StockBangladesh.com will provide you with the necessary information you need for maximum profits and success in today's dynamic markets. Initially we are covering Dhaka share market.

Our goal is to help traders and investors of Bangladesh share market to achieve above-average returns from the markets by providing them with profitable trading signals and at the same time protect their trading capital from large drawdowns with our sound money management principles.

The methods used to analyze securities and make investment decisions fall into two very broad categories: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis involves analyzing the characteristics of a company in order to estimate its value. Technical analysis takes a completely different approach; it doesn't care one bit about the "value" of a company or a commodity. Technicians (sometimes called chartists) are only interested in the price movements in the market.

Despite all the fancy and exotic tools it employs, technical analysis really just studies supply and demand in a market in an attempt to determine what direction, or trend, will continue in the future. In other words, technical analysis attempts to understand the emotions in the market by studying the market itself, as opposed to its components. If you understand the benefits and limitations of technical analysis, it can give you a new set of tools or skills that will enable you to be a better trader or investor.

Google history

Google timeline
Check out the interactive version of our company history.

Our company has packed a lot in to a relatively young life.
We‘ve captured some of the key milestones in Google‘s development.

1995-1997 · 1998 · 1999 · 2000 · 2001 · 2002 · 2003 · 2004 · 2005 · 2006 · 2007 · 2008 · 2009 · 2010 · 2011

1995-1997

1995

Larry Page and Sergey Brin meet at Stanford. (Larry, 22, a U Michigan grad, is considering the school; Sergey, 21, is assigned to show him around.) According to some accounts, they disagree about almost everything during this first meeting.

1996

Larry and Sergey, now Stanford computer science grad students, begin collaborating on a search engine called BackRub.
BackRub operates on Stanford servers for more than a year—eventually taking up too much bandwidth to suit the university.

1997

Larry and Sergey decide that the BackRub search engine needs a new name. After some brainstorming, they go with Google—a play on the word “googol,” a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. The use of the term reflects their mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.

1998 August

Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim writes a check for $100,000 to an entity that doesn‘t exist yet: a company called Google Inc.

September

Only For Girls !!!

It's been so fun reading your comments (and stealing your tips and tricks!) over the course of this blog. Which is why I thought it would be fun, on the last day of the carnal challenge, to ask you a few naughty questions. This is for purely selfish reasons since I know I can learn a lot from you all. But I know you must be curious to know everyone's answers too.
So write your answers in the comments section and be sure to check back and see what other users are saying.

1. How many times do you have sex on an average week? Does this change when you have your period?
2. What's the craziest place you've ever had sex?
3. What's the craziest thing you've ever tried in bed? Handcuffs? Using food during the hook-up? A threesome? A sex tape?
4. What's the top thing on your sex bucket list? In other words, if you were going to die tomorrow, what would you want to try in bed tonight?
5. On a scale of one to 10, how important is sex in a relationship?

6. What percentage of the time that you have sex do you climax? What about your guy?

7. Who in your relationship is more into sex—you or your significant other? Who initiates it more often?

8. Do you have a "trigger fantasy", ie something you think about that puts you over the edge?

9. If you could hook up with one celebrity, who would it be?

10. If you could have sex in only one position from the Kama Sutra for the next 77 days, what would it be? What do you think your guy would choose?

Day Seventy Six

2011-05-25T09:22:00.000-07:00

Day Seventy Six

I can not believe this is my last position in the Kama Sutra. (This is my last position, right? I haven’t, like accidentally forgotten the one where I have to hang upside down from a mirror with all the lights on or something, have I? If D. and I have somehow paged past one, please let me know since we have one more day to bang it out!)

I suggested to D. that we celebrate finishing our mission. His response: “Uh, how about by having sex?” Ha. I was thinking more along the lines of dinner or popping some champagne, but the man has a point.

Tonight we did the Love Triangle, a guy-on-top position with a carnal challenge rating of five flames. It’s only appropriate that we finish off with a difficult one. After all, we should be experts at this point.

If I were a Freudian, I would say that I had been subconsciously avoiding this one. Not because it looks especially uncomfortable or unfun, but because of the name. Love Triangle. That does not exactly get me in the mood. Maybe because lately I’ve found myself more jealous than usual of D.’s girl friends or female coworkers. And I am not a typically jealous person. I’m not totally sure why it’s happening, but I have a hunch it has something to do with the fact that the closer and more serious we get, the more I want him all to myself. (Let me know in the comments if you ever go through “waves of jealousy”.)

Anyway! We actually started the hook-up in the shower. I had been feeling ick all day and this was a nice way to get clean, but also get the foreplay going. By the time we got out of the bathroom and slightly dried off, I was rarin’ to go.

We started in—surprise, surprise—missionary. D. lifted my left leg and rested it on his shoulder. Per the instructions in the book, I stretched out my other leg so I was spread eagle. D. shifted into a somewhat kneeling position, but still between my legs.

Then we were faced with the challenge of how to get his left foot over my thigh and next to my torso. (The number of awkward moments we’ve had during these past few months makes me think perhaps we’re just awkward lovers ha!) He shifted his weight and sort of threw it over my leg. Clearly, he had to pull out to accomplish this. He placed his foot down then pressed back in to me.

The only problem was the thrusting. It’s not that he couldn’t do it. It’s just that it was the funniest. Thing. Ever. Imagine a guy on one knee gyrating his hips back and forth, a little off balance, and naked. At first I just smiled a little bit. He smiled back, surely thinking I was just enjoying the moment. Then I let out a little snort. Which he seemed to write off as some sort of cough. Then I let out a full-on laugh. I couldn’t help it!

“What the hell, S.?” he said in an annoyed tone.

“No, it’s just...the way you’re...moving,” I said, stifling the laughing as best I could.

We finished up. Or rather, he finished (after we shifted back to missionary).

I could tell something was a little off. “Everything cool?” I asked. (Word to the wise: Phrasing it like this, rather than “Are you OK?” tends to go over better with guys. Making it about the situation rather than him is just easier for a man to take.)

“Yeah. But come on, I never laugh at you in weird positions.”

Oh my god. He was offended! I’m always the sensitive, self-conscious one in bed and I never stopped to think he could feel that way too during sex.

“I wasn’t laughing at you. It’s just a silly position.” Then I snuggled up against him, vowing to remember that guys can be sensitive too.

I don’t want to go out on a bad note so I’ve decided to do a repeat of one of our favorite positions from the Kama Sutra tomorrow. That is, unless we’ve forgotten about a pose or two and have to do those on Day 77.

HIV

Add caption

“When the history of our times is written, will we be remembered as the generation that turned our backs in a moment of a global crisis or will it be recorded that we did the right thing?” - Nelson Mandela

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This virus is transferred from person to person when an HIV positive individual’s blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk comes in contact with another person’s bloodstream (through the mouth, throat, or breaks in the skin). This viral infection usually occurs during unprotected sexual activity, but can also occur between an HIV/AIDS positive mother and her child, through an unsecure blood transfusion, and by sharing used needles.
Once infected it takes as long as 8 to 10 years for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus to effectively breakdown the bodies’ natural immune defences, which leads to the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS for short. Although scientists around the world have been working hard to obtain a cure or even a vaccine for the HIV, none are currently available.

According to the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (2007), about 33.2 million people are infected with HIV worldwide (which is 16% lower than 2006 estimates. So, far 2.1 million people have lost their lives to AIDS. Youth are particularly at risk as young people between the ages of 15 to 24 account for more than 40% of new HIV infections. Young women are also more at risk for contracting HIV; three times more likely than males in Sub-Saharan Africa and almost two times more likely in the Caribbean.

The most devastating effect on the world’s youth, as a result of the spread of the HIV/AIDS virus around the world, has been the alarming increase in the number of children and young people who have been orphaned by the disease. In 2007, there was an estimated 11.4million AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa.

The new face of HIV/AIDS is undoubtedly global leadership or more importantly youth leadership and education. Youth leaders are raising their voices on the issue of HIV/AIDS all over the world while spreading a message of change and healing among their young peers. For example groups such as “The Young Women of Color Leadership Council” who are striving to educate at-risk youth of color on issues of HIV prevention and community leadership; “Youth Visioning” who aim to encourage and support young leaders living on small islands around the world to propose and implement projects that will effectively impact how youth experience and understand HIV/AIDS; and the “Rural Sensitization Campaign in Cameroon” who is actively challenging youth to learn and be trained on healthy sexual practices, HIV prevention and transmission, testing, and treatment, in addition to targeting young women and men, this campaign aims to involve parents and children HIV/AIDS educational programmes.

There are several other factors that contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS and the marginalization of people living with HIV/AIDS, which include high levels of: Severe poverty, unemployment, inadequate medical care, and risky sexual activity. However an additional factor that often goes unnoticed is the presence of stigma that becomes associated to people living with aids (PLWA) and who have openly revealed their HIV/AIDS status in their community. Stigma may result in isolation, physical and verbal abuse, and even in the premature death of PLWA. The spread of stigma among PLWA is preventable, but it requires the community and grassroots organizations to work together to minimize the fear and the overemphasis on the problems associated to HIV/AIDS when spreading awareness about.
