12 of the world's cheapest holiday destinations

1. Cambodia

With beds for £1 and lip-smacking food for less than that, Cambodia is so cheap you can feel guilty for paying so little. Where once travellers often feared to tread, Cambodia is now very much on the Southeast Asia travel scene, particularly among backpackers and, increasingly, holidaymakers looking for five-star luxury without the price tag. Check out the De La Paix hotel - their rich wood interiors, in-room iPod docks and free WiFi access for about £250 (double room) a night is about as far from a grimey hostel as it's possible to get, and not painfully priced for the topnotch service they provide. It's also ten minutes down the road from the world famous Angkor Wat Archaeological Park. You can't leave Cambodia without visiting this iconic ancient site, preferrably at dawn to watch the sun rise behind Angkor Wat temple itself, a soothing and spectacular experience. Entry to this UNESCO world heritage site costs just £13 for a full day, although it's worth paying the £26 for three days - there are just too many temples to squeeze into one day and once the midday sun hits you'll want to take shade, or find some seriously strong air-conditioning.

2. Vietnam

Unspoiled and undeveloped, despite its rise in popularity in the last few years, Vietnam is still super cheap, as well as a beautiful country. You can easily get by on £5 a day, including a guest house, local food, transport and a bit of drinking - a pint of Vietnam's most popular brew, Bia Hoi, costs as little as 50p. Hanoi, the former headquarters of French Indochina and then the administrative centre of communist North Vietnam, was declared the country's official captial in 1976 after reunification of this deeply divided nation began. It retains much of it's French flavour; you'll find some great patisseries producing croissants that rival Paris's finest right next door to an authentic _pho _noodle soup shack. Hanoi's Old Quarter, around Hoan Kiem Lake, is the best place to soak up some of the city's post-colonial charm - it's also a rare oasis of calm in this otherwise chaotic city, where locals go every morning at sunrise to practice tai chi. Experience Vietnamese rural life and see for yourself the lush, green rice terraces in and around the former French moutnain resort of Da Lat in the central highlands. The city is somewhat overrun with tourists (it's the main departure point for a lot of 'Easy Rider' motorcycle tours) but the flower farms, local tofu factories, cashew nut plantations, and of course the iconic rice terraces are worth stopping by to take a look, before speeding on along the coast southwards to Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon.

3. India

A spending spree in Mumbai's designer shops and a stay in an international hotel in Delhi is going to cost you as much as it would in Dubai, but away from these enclaves the cost of living is ridiculously low. Even if you travel first class on the trains (the Rajdhani or the Shatabdi Express are the most comfortable to travel on, being fully air-conditioned with meals included in the ticket price) and take taxis everywhere, you’ll be hard pressed to spend a lot of money here and it's possible to live like a raj on just £15 (about 1,500 rupees) a day. India is the seventh largest country in the world, so unless you're planning an incredible six month sojourn, it pays to plan which of the country's 29 states you want to visit. Head to western India to Rajasthan for an assault of the senses in the state capital, the Pink City, Jaipur, or kick back on the white sands of Kerala in southern India. You can't fly all that way without seeing what may well be the most famous tomb in the world, the Taj Mahal, in Agra, northern India - just don't go on a Friday, it's closed. And don't worry about Delhi belly, you'll find some of India's best street food here in the capital, particularly in the narrow streets and bustling boulevards around Connaught Place in the centre of town. Pick your stall wisely - make sure they look clean and if they're busy it usually means the food is fresh, but it's still a good idea to pack the Immodium, just in case.

4. Bolivia

Known as the Tibet of the Americas, Bolivia is a relatively remote bolthole, being one of only two landlocked countries in South America (the other is Paraguay). Wander along Calle Jaén, in Bolivia's administrative capital, La Paz, for a slice of South American life under Spanish colonial control - the street is home to some of the city's best preserved colonial buildings, whitewashed façades and ornate black grilled balconettes. It's also where you'll find a cluster of museums, including the former home of Pedro Domingo Murillo, who lead forces during the La Paz Revolution of 1809. See them all for the grand total of 40p and pick up your bumper bargain ticket from the Museo Costumbrista, which houses a ceramic depicting the hanging of the aforementioned revolutionary. As if that weren’t enough (there's more to life than museums?!) Bolivia perhaps boasts the best value food and drink in all of South America. For example, a bottle of Paceña beer generally costs less than £1 and a bowl of chairo (potato soup) about the same. Pack plenty of layers for when the sun goes down; although Bolivia generally endures hot and humid tropical summers, La Paz is surrounded by the altipano mountains and so stays cool all year round. Looking to turn up the heat? Head to Oruro, a city in the heart of the altiplano famous for its Carnival, held each year in February or March to honour the Virgin of Candelaria. Three hours by bus from La Paz and you could be taking part in this UNESCO protected presentation of indigenous and religious Bolivian culture, with more than 48 folk dance performances and a traditional parade.

5. Hungary

Budapest, the historic Hungarian capital on the Danube, is a definite must-see on anyone's European tour. While it's not quite as cheap as it was before the budget airlines got there, prices here will leave plenty of cash in your pocket. Indulge in luscious cakes, get refreshed on strong liquor and sweat it out in the famous thermal spas. Stop for a sweet treat at Gerbeaud's for gourmet pastries too pretty to eat (almost), or visit a traditional kávéház (coffee house) for a calorific (who's counting?!) slice of _kürtőskalács _or chocolate chimney cake. With meals for £2, train tickets for £1 and rooms for £10, Budapest is a beautiful bargain. And you can visit those beautiful bathhouses, such as Gellert, for £10, with massages starting at less than a tenner. If you're after a quiet countryside retreat, check out Lake Balaton in Transdanubia, western Hungary. The biggest lake in central Europe, it's a popular summer retreat for local families looking to escape the big smoke during the summer heat - it's an easy one and a half hour train ride from Budapest and the biggest resorts are found in the cities of Siófok and Balatonfüred. Take a hike in the northern hills, swim in the lake or sail out on the cool waters, before enjoying some locally produced wines from the vineyards dotted across nearby Badacsony Hill.

6. Honduras

There's Belize. There's Costa Rica. There's even Guatemala. But for real bargain-basement Central American value, plump for Honduras. The country isn't up there on the most-visited lists, but if you do decide to give it a go you'll discover white sand beaches reminiscent of the Maldives, diving to rival the Red Sea, and mega cheap food and drink - all while spending less than £20 a day. For the Caribbean at a fraction of the cost, check out the swathes of pristine beaches along Honduras's northern coast. One of the busiest centres along this idyllic stretch is Puerto Cortes, a bustling port famous for its trade in bananas with strong Spanish heritage, signs of which survive to this day - get out to Omoa, a picture-postcard seaside town with a colonial fortress to explore. If you're really serious about sniffing out the prettiest post-colonial towns, look no further than the quaint Spanish houses, ornate cathedral and packed plazas in Comayagua's historic town centre. A small city two hours drive northwest from Honduras's capital, Tegucigalpa, Comayagua was once the country's religious and political centre, but today its main draws are the colonial buildings and cute plaza cafés - bag a traditional Honduran baguette or bistek (steak) sandwich from café La Casa de Sandwich for about £1.50 and picnic in the nearby Parque Central.

7. Bulgaria

Bulgaria's Black Sea resorts have undergone a bit of a boom with British visitors in recent years, probably because they offer a total bargain compared with traditional summer sun destinations like the south of Spain. If you prefer city breaking to beaches, capital Sofia offers hearty food, warm company, 'robust' drink and a comfy bed, all yours for £20 a day. Just a 20-minute subway ride from the airport terminal (30-40 minutes if you're travelling in by bus) you can satisfy your inner culture vulture in Sofia - the second oldest city in Europe is stuffed with museums and galleries, including the Musuem of Socialist Art and the National Literature Musuem. Soak up some summer sun and do a few laps down at Liulin Beach, with its three outdoor swimming pools, a sand area and a footie field - there's even a canteen to grab a slice of pizza post-exercise. Despite becoming a burgeoning holiday destination, many places outside of Sofia remain relatively untouched by bargain-hungry holidaymakers and the further east you go, the cheaper it gets. Want sun, sea and to save a few pennies? Head for Nesebar, a UNESCO World Heritage site a few hours south of Varna and a great spot to start your budget tour of Bulgaria's Black Sea coast. Although much of Nesebar's ancient city of Messembria has collapsed into the ocean, there are still plenty of old churches to admire and cobbled lanes to stroll along - buy locally produced lace to take back as a souvenir, just watch out for cheap tourist tat versions.

8. Sri Lanka

'With gossamer-fine sands, cloud-wrapped mountains, waterfalls, tea plantations and palm trees wafting in the breeze, Sri Lanka is the picture perfect paradise'... Ok, thanks tourist brochure. We'll concentrate on feasting on fish curry, trekking in the jungle and staying in hotels on the beach for tuppence. Well, not quite two pence, but you can live like royalty for under £25 a day. Modern tourism began to boom on this idyllic south Indian Ocean island in the 1960s, but it's somehow managed to stay on the sidelines of many a Southeast Asian itinerary, so it's still possible to pick up a low-cost luxury bargain. Stay at the five-star Cinnamon Lodge, located in Habarana, the epicentre of a cultural triangle encompassing Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Kandy. The swish suites here boast fantastic views over the tropical Habarana Lake - take it all in from your own private jacuzzi, while being served champagne by your on-call butler - or you can bag a single room, with all the same spa, swimming pool and dining facilities, from as little as £42 a night. If you can bear to drag yourself away from air-conditioned luxury, the temples, monasteries and stupa speckled throughout the surrounding countryside offer a window into Sri Lanka's Buddhist culture - 70% of Sri Lankans are Buddhist. If you don't fancy days on end temple traipsing, stick to the highlights: the Sri Maha Bodhiya (Bodhi Tree Temple) in Anuradhapura and the Sri Dhalada Maligawa (Temple of the Tooth) in Kandy, arguably the most sacred places on the entire island. Be warned, foreigners tend to pay higher entrance fees, although some tuk-tuk drivers might offer to sneak you in for free!

9. Argentina

From the jungles of the central plains in La Pampa, to the rugged Andes mountains on the western border with Chile, there's plenty to see and do in Argentina, the world's eighth largest country. City lights don't get much brighter in this part of the world than in Buenos Aires, which has rightly earned its reputation as one of the most exciting cities on the planet, thanks partly to its totally up-for-it nightlife. Experience the colourful, flamboyant life of the Argentinian capital by staying away from its most exclusive hotspots and you can easily get by on £25 a day. Tour the bright and bold murals that adorn many of Buenos Aires's buildings, and come sundown slink along the streets of San Telmo and enjoy the cool bohemian vibe in the restaurants and bars in this part of town - much more fun (and kinder on the wallet) than a night out in the tourist traps of the city's Recoleta district. If you want to get away from it all and see some of the world's most spectacular scenery, then it doesn't get much more impressive than a trip to Patagonia in southern Argentina, home to Tierra del Fuego, the most southerly city in the world and a popular departure point for excursions to the Antartic. Get there by bus from Buenos Aires - a journey which takes anywhere from 24 to 36 hours - or hop on a cheap internal flight to save time, although this is usually a more expensive way to travel. Prepare yourself for plenty of cute penguins, dolphins and whales in the UNESCO protected nature reserve, Península Valdés; the entrance fee for non-residents is about a tenner.

10. Greece

Due to the country's ongoing economic difficulties, the cost of holidaying in Greece is lower than it used to be. While it's still pretty pricey to stay on famous Greek islands like Santorini or Mykonos, pick a quieter Greek getaway like Paros or Skiathos and you can still while away the days in 28 degree heat, sipping ice-cold Mythos (between about £1.50 and £4 a pint depending on where you stay) for half the price. If you're all about pool parties and super-cheap shots, then Ios is the island for you, famous for its all-night raves and young backpacker crowd. Not got time for a full-on island-hop? Settle for a day trip to the Sardonic Gulf island of Hydra, just one and a half hours by catamaran from Athens and the spot for some of the best souvlaki(kebabs) you'll find anywhere else in the Aegean Sea - Pirofani restaurant has been dishing up this delicious drunk food for over 20 years and takes some beating when it comes to flavour and value for money. Not enough meat to satisfy your inner caveman? Sail across to Kefalonia (which you might recognise from the big screen adaption of the famous book, Captain Corelli's Mandolin) for a slab of traditional pie, filled with oozing meats and gravy, wrapped in a blanket of filo pastry. Ferries run regularly between the islands, but if departing from Athens head to the port of Piraeus to check the boards for updated prices and schedules - most of the Aegean Islands take about four or five hours to reach by high-speed ferry, six to eight on a regular one.

11. Dominican Republic

The Caribbean is pricey, right? Not if you fly to the Dominican Republic, where £30 a day will cover accommodation, travel and food if you're thrifty. Eat where the locals do and you'll find dishes - and beers - for under £1, while taking the local bus into town can be done for less than 50p. Check in to the Bavaro Hosteland for just £13 you'll get a bed within a three-minute walk of the white sands and swaying palms of Bavaro beach. Plus free wifi and free coffee. If free coffee isn't enough and you want all-day dining and activities, the Dominican Republic offers some incredible deals for all-inclusive holidays. The VH Gran Ventana on the appropriately named Playa Dorada (Golden Beach) has four different restaurants, from gourmet Caribbean to casual beachfront grill, three swimming pools and watersports from water skiing and parasailing to banana boats and scuba diving - all included. With rates starting at just £90 per room per night you're definitely going to get your money's worth!

12. Ireland

Flight prices to Ireland have tumbled over the past few years, meaning you can get to Dublin for less than you might think. Once in the Irish capital, stay at the central Generator Hostel and you could pay just £6 for your bed. Free things to do in the Irish capital include visiting the Chester Beatty Library, to check out its world-famous and dazzlingly expansive collection of rare books and manuscripts, and talking a walk with the deer herd in Phoenix Park - this is the largest enclosed recreational space in any European capital so there's plenty to explore. Do some budget shopping at the weekend Blackrock Market, Dublin's oldest, and sup on the central city's (rumoured) cheapest pint, just £2.30 in the Pavilion Bar at the cricket pitch in Trinity College. If you'd rather get out into rural Ireland, head to Galway, where prices are lower than the capital across the board and a weekend break could cost you about 20% less. You could spend some of those savings on the city's vibrant nightlife (thanks student population!) with a trawl through the city's pubs - where Guinness is around 15% cheaper than in Dublin - and the live music sessions at trad music pub An Pucan are free.

WordPress can be configured to use e-mail to post to a blog. To enable this functionality, you need to:

Create a dedicated e-mail account to be used solely for posting to your blog,
Configure WordPress to access that account, and
Configure WordPress to publish messages from the e-mail account
You can blog by e-mail using most standard e-mail software programs or a Weblog Client -- a program specifically designed to send posts via email.

Limitations: - Standard characters in the object - Plain text only

Setting Up Post via E-mail
Step 1 - Create an e-mail account
Log in to WordPress with the administration login you use to administer your WordPress blog.
Go to Settings > Writing.
Read the instructions under Post via e-mail at the bottom of the page. At the end of these instructions, WordPress will suggest three random strings of numbers you may want to use for the login name of the new e-mail account you'll create.
Create a new e-mail account on your web host's mail server or a separate e-mail server, using one of the suggested numeric strings (or your own secret word) for the username (also called a "login name"). A mail server receives e-mails on your behalf and stores them for retrieval. Do not use public, free e-mail servers like Yahoo, Hotmail, etc., for this account.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a "secret" address - that is, an e-mail account name that is very difficult to guess and known only to you, such as those suggested by WordPress. Any e-mail sent to this address will automatically be posted to your blog. Be aware, however, that some e-mail servers do not allow numbers-only e-mail accounts or accounts starting with a number. Please check with your web host.
Step 2 - Configure WordPress to access your new account
When you are done creating the new e-mail account , return to the Writing Options panel and fill in the name of the mail server and port number your web hosting provider uses. (If you don't know these, refer to your web hosting provider's FAQ or manual pages. The port number is usually 110.) If your mail server requires an SSL (secure) connection, precede your mail server address with ssl://, e.g. ssl://pop.example.com.
Next, enter the login name and password for your new e-mail account .
NOTE: In the Login Name field, use the full e-mail address (e.g., user@example.com).
Choose the default category that will be assigned to posts submitted via e-mail.
Click Update Options .
NOTE: If you are using the Administration > Settings > Writing > Post via e-mail section to specify the e-mail address before you've actually created the e-mail account, remember to use the same login and password when you create the account as you specified in the section.
Step 3 - Publish Your E-mail Posts
You've created the new e-mail account and configured your WordPress blog to accept e-mails from that account, but you still need to set up WordPress to publish those e-mail messages on your blog. Do one of the following:

Manual Browser Activation

Go to the following link http://example.com/installdir/wp-mail.php immediately after you send an e-mail to your new e-mail account. (Note: You must do this every time you send a new post.)

Automated Browser Activation

An alternative to manual browser activation is to add the following iframe code to the footer of your blog:

<iframe src="http://yourblogdomain/wordpressinstalldir/wp-mail.php" name="mailiframe" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title=""></iframe>

Edit the above line of code so that it refers to the location of your wp-mail.php file. Add this line of code to the footer.php file in the directory for whatever theme you are using (don't include it within an HTML paragraph).

You may have to refresh your blog to see the new post. New users may find this method the most helpful.

If you're using or would like to use the Postie Plugin for WordPress, use the following iframe code, which will call Postie's check mail commands:

<iframe src="http://yourblogdomain/wordpressinstalldir/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php?Submit=Run+Postie" name="mailiframe" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title=""> </iframe>

Add this code to your footer, and the next time anyone goes to your blog, your new emails will be automatically posted, so you need to do nothing but send them. You may have to refresh the blog to see the changes.

Action-based functions.php Activation

An alternative to calling the iframe on every page load (detailed above), or setting up a cron job (details below), you can add an action to your active theme's functions.php file. This will check for mail every 15 minutes and does not add any HTML to your theme.

add_action('shutdown', 'retrieve_post_via_mail');
function retrieve_post_via_mail() {
flush(); // Display the page before the mail fetching begins
if(get_transient('retrieve_post_via_mail')) {
return; // The mail has been checked recently; don't check again
} else { // The mail has not been checked in more than 15 minutes
$mail = wp_remote_get(get_bloginfo('wpurl').'/wp-mail.php');
if(!is_wp_error($mail)) { // If retrieve succeeded
set_transient('retrieve_post_via_mail', 1, 60 * 15); // check again in 15 minutes.
} else {
set_transient('retrieve_post_via_mail', 1, 60 * 5); // check again in 5 minutes; we don't want to overload the server
}
}
}
This method is good for users who would like to avoid using cron jobs, which are configured on the server. Unlike cron jobs, this process will only run when pages on the blog are loaded. Cron jobs run independent of site traffic.

WP-Cron Plugin Activation

Download, install, and activate the WP-Cron Plugin. It will work in the background without user intervention to update your site about every 15 minutes.

NOTE: WP-CRON is no longer supported by the author

Cron Job Activation

Set up a UNIX cron job to have your blog periodically view http://example.com/installdir/wp-mail.php using a command-line HTTP agent like wget, curl or GET. The command to execute will look like:

wget -N http://example.com/installdir/wp-mail.php

If you use a different program than wget, substitute that program and its arguments for wget in this line.

Note: Another possibility is to run "php /full/path/to/wp-mail.php" in a cronjob. This will run the php-script using php, without the need for an extra program to run. (You are more likely authorized to run php than wget.)

For more information about setting up a cron job, see:

Intro To Cron Jobs
Your hosting provider's FAQ or manual pages
Note to Windows Users: There are similar programs to cron available if your host runs Windows. For example, VisualCron, Cron for Windows and pycron. Consult these projects' documentation for further information.

Procmail Activation

If your server uses procmail, a simple .procmailrc in the blogmailaccounts home directory will be sufficient:

Shell=/bin/sh
MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
:0
{
:0Wc
./
:0
| wget -N http://example.com/installdir/wp-mail.php
}
This could be more specific, such as capturing certain subject expressions. Check procmail for more information.

.qmail Activation

If your server uses qmail to process e-mail, you may be able to use it to call wp-mail.php whenever an e-mail message is delivered. To do this, first create a small shell script to call wp-mail.php. You could call the file wp-mail:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/sh -c "sleep 5; /path/to/php /path/to/your/blog/wp-mail.php > /dev/null" &
The sleep command causes a 5-second delay to allow qmail to finish processing the message before wp-mail.php is called. Note that the ampersand on the end of the line is required. The above script should go in your root directory, and the execute bit should be set (chmod 700). For debugging purposes, you could change /dev/null to a filename to save the output generated by wp-mail.php.

Then all you need to do create/modify the appropriate .qmail file to call your shell script. Add the following line to the .qmail file for your mailbox name:

|/path/to/your/root/directory/wp-mail
See your ISP's documentation for use of .qmail files. Naming conventions may vary for different ISPs.

Email Format
WordPress will use the Subject line of your email for the title of the post, and all body of the email will be used as the content of the post, with common HTML tags stripped. WordPress will file the post under whichever category is selected for "Usual Category" in Step 1, and will use Site Admin as the poster.

Posting by email does not support attachments and any attachments sent with the email will appear in their raw form in the blog post.

Testing
To test your configuration, simply send an e-mail to yournewaccount@yourmaildomain (or to user@yourmaildomain if you used the .qmail forwarding setup). Then do the following:

If you have no automated system set up, simply view http://example.com/installdir/wp-mail.php in your browser. The script should tell you that it found an e-mail, and print details of the post it made. Then view your blog again to see your email posted.
If you are using an iframe code in your footer, refresh your browser to see the new post.
If you are using WP-Cron, simply wait fifteen or twenty minutes.
If you have a cron job running, wait until the next time it's scheduled to run (or temporarily edit the cron job to make it run sooner). If you run tail -f /var/log/cron in a terminal, you'll be able to see the job create its log entry when it's finished running. When that happens, just view the site in your web browser to see your email posted.
Your email may be recorded with a post status of 'Pending Review' rather than 'Published'. If the status is 'Pending Review', then the post will be visible in the Dashboard but will not be visible in the Blog. By default, wp-mail.php will validate the sending email address against the email addresses for authorized users. If the email address is found, the post status will be 'Published', otherwise the status will be 'Pending Review'.
Troubleshooting
If you receive the following error messages, follow the procedures below.

Error Message:
Ooops POP3: premature NOOP OK, NOT an RFC 1939 Compliant server
For this error, open wp-includes/class-pop3.php and change this line:

if($this->RFC1939) {
to this:

if(!$this->RFC1939) {
Note the exclamation point.

Error Message: There does not seem to be any new mail

This error is a bit of a misnomer - the test just checks to see if anything was retrieved.

If you're feeling adventuresome, open
wp-mail.php
and search for:
$count = $pop3->login(get_settings('mailserver_login'), get_settings('mailserver_pass'));
Change the lines following it to something like:

if (0 == $count) :
echo "There does not seem to be any new mail. <br/>\n";
echo "count = $count<br/> \n";
echo "$pop3->ERROR \n";
exit;
endif;
You'll then be presented with a more informative message.

The e-mail server may be refusing connections that attempt to provide an unencrypted password - like POP3. If your webserver and e-mail server are on the same physical computer, you can specify localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the mail server. That traffic is assumed to be OK without encryption because it never traveled across the network.

Extensions and Add-ons
There are several add-ons and hacks that will extend the capabilities of posting by e-mail with WordPress. Some of these may involve changing the core files, so do it carefully and make backups.

Enhanced Functionality Hack
One replacement file for the original wp-mail.php file has been created:

Postie supports posting to categories, automatic removal of email signatures, POP3/IMAL (+SSL) and more.
Hack E-mail Format
The following enhancements may be made to your wp-mail.php so your e-mail will be translated into metadata for your post:

Sender's e-mail address
The enhanced wp-mail.php looks up the email address you send from in its user database. If there is a match with any user there, it files the post under that user. If there is no match, it drops the e-mail and does not create a post in the blog. (Great for security and spam prevention.) It is set by the From field.
Subject line
If [n] is present anywhere in the subject line of your email, the e-mail will be filed under the category numbered n. Otherwise, it will be posted under whichever category is selected for "Usual Category" in Step 1. Example: [1] This is a Test! would be posted as "This is a Test!", filed under General.
Blog By Email From Yahoo! Mail, Gmail and Hotmail
By default, most web-based email clients send messages in HTML formatting, which WordPress's blog-by-email feature filters out.

To get around this, you must select "plain text" before sending.

In Yahoo! Mail, the button for switching to plain text is just to the right of the SUBJECT field. In Gmail a similar button is located at the right end of the text formatting tool bar. Hotmail's is found next to the SPELL CHECK button in the email action bar which is located above the email message.

Dear Friends,

Nifty closed higher by 30 points yesterday. Today, the global cues from markets are all positive.

The investors who are investing for the long term on a monthly basis must be even more patient. Imagine that you are growing a teak wood tree and the real value is experienced only many years later. We should concentrate on the process of investing sensibly and with discipline. The rewards of our good investment habits will be seen in the form of good returns over the long term.

This current rally continues without losing steam. Our wait for the next rally continues since we have already sold our stock term holdings at handsome profits. This is the time to use the money earned from the short term trades to re-invest or spend on purchasing essential items.

The Self-Development Tip for this week is -

The solution in time management does not lie in learning how to do everything more efficiently, but in learning to do less, more effectively

In the fixed time that is available to us, we must not try to do everything. We must prioritize and decide the tasks which are important. Once we know our priorities, we can work towards achieving maximum effectiveness rather attempting to do all tasks efficiently. Some tasks may not be required to be done and hence can be neglected while the others are priorities and must be done very well to achieve success in life.

Let us be clear about the priorities in our lives an work towards performing them to the best of our knowledge and abilities. This will lead to us managing our time better and thereby leading to our overall success.

The successful people in the world are not the people who did all the tasks but are the people who knew which were important to help them go forward in life and which were unnecessary and unproductive.

Dear Friends,

Nifty traded positive on Friday ending 56 points higher. Global cues were extremely positive due to lower unemployment rate in the US.

Saving regularly is an important activity and must not be neglected. The importance of savings can be seen from the way retirees are able to live comfortably or not in their post retirement life. Some retirees are able to afford expensive holidays, other lavish expenses etc whereas others are barely able to cover their medical and basic expenses. Hence, we must learn lessons from the people who have developed good investment
habits.

There is no opportunity to buy for short term currently. As long as the stocks are higher than the red line, they should not be freshly bought. It is actually a Hold indication. However, since we have already made 10% profits in the rally, we have to now wait for the next rally.

The important thing to note is that although short term opportunities do not occur throughout the year, long term investors get the chance to invest on a monthly basis in bluechips. They do not have to wait for any particular sign before they invest for that month. This also encourages a regular savings plan for people so that they are ready to face any challenging situations in their life.

Dear Friends,

Nifty fell today by 27 points today after many days of positive closes. The global cues are mixed today and there is no particular direction.

The wait for the next rally continues. Keep aside the money for investment in next rally. Do not use it unless the next opportunity arises.

Long term investors must continue to invest as per their plan. Ensure that you invest only in bluechips on a monthly basis. It is not worth investing in the riskier stocks which may or may not perform in the future. Invest in stocks which will allow you to sleep peacefully in the night.

What The Interviewer Is Looking For

2011-12-03T19:34:00.000+05:30

In most interviews, knowing what the interviewer is looking for means you have won half of the battle. The other half of the battle: be prepared to show your knowledge about the organisation, ask tactful questions about the job, and give a good impression that you can do better than others, if you are offered the job.
The interviewer has two methods of judging your suitability for the job. First, by questioning you and evaluating the things about you and your experience, based on what you tell him. Second, by observing person-to-person how you handle the interview.

PLEASE CLICK THE ADVERTISEMENTS IF THIS BLOG IS HELPFUL FOR YOU

If you have obviously planned your interview well, for example by showing that you are knowledgeable about the organisation, the interviewer will assume that you are also capable of planning and making a good job of your tasks. The converse is also true – a bad performance at interview could mean an unsatisfactory performance at the job.
If you have the experience and ability to do the job, make sure that you do not let your interview performance let you down. Since in most cases, the interviewer has no prior knowledge of the candidates except their letter of application, the first impression you give is extremely important. If you are of average intelligence or have few qualifications, do not despair. The most important factor is your actual achievements and the positive way in which you put these over to the interviewer.
Here are five areas that help the interviewer select the right person for the right job: intelligence, qualification, adjustment, impact on others, motivation and achievements.
Intelligence means your cognitive powers to take in and interpret information. You should be quick in understanding all questions posed by the interviewer, and providing simple and concise answers to them. Nevertheless, a person who is too intelligent, by giving complicated answers to simple questions, may give an impression that he is a thinker not a doer.
Qualifications is necessary for certain professional jobs. So make sure you possess the formal qualifications required or the experience needed when applying for that particular position. It is important to show your knowledge and interest of the relevant professional institution in your field of work, as this will also reflect your enthusiasm towards the profession.

Be patient- wait for the right opportunity

2011-12-03T19:27:00.000+05:30

As per technical analysis, the Nifty is in 'don't buy' zone. All the individual stocks are showing don't buy indication. It will take a few days of continuous positive closing for our markets to indicate a buying signal. Currently, there is no opportunity to buy for short term. Lets wait for the right opportunity to buy.

In a year, on an average, there is only about one short term buying opportunity per month. Out of these 10-12 buying opportunities in a year, only 4-6 trades will give us 10% profits. In the remaining chances, we may not make any loss, but we may not get significant profits. Hence, patiently waiting for the short term opportunities is important.
Long term investors should carry on with their monthly investments. Please note that for long term purchases, no stop loss needs to be set. Continue to buy on a monthly basis for long term. Also, do not judge the performance of your long term portfolio before 3-4 years. There is no use of assessing a long term investment within a few days or months. Give time for your stocks to show their true performance. Do not become impatient with a few months of declining prices.

We have to see the Asian cues on Monday to see how our markets may move.

Nifty ended about 46 points down on Friday.
The Global cues were mixed on Friday's trading session. The US markets were negative but the European markets were positive.

Investing with a plan

2011-12-03T19:26:00.000+05:30

Be clear when you are buying a particular stock whether you would like to buy it for short term or long term. If it is for short term, sell the moment you achieve your target selling price (for example a 10% profit on the trade).
There is no need to place stop losses for long term buys. Stop loss is only meant for limiting loss for short term trades. Have the discipline to sell at the stop loss level. Do not be emotionally attached to a stock bought for short term.
It is advisable to perform long term investing in one demat account and short term trading in another demat account. Alternatively, you can invest for long term in your spouse’s name and short term trading in your name. This ensures that the income tax authorities do not classify you as a trader and levy higher rate of taxes.

The reason why many investors are not successful is because they do not have an investment plan. Investors must decide beforehand whether they will be investing for long term, or both long and short term.
If you have decided to invest for long term and have picked fundamentally strong stocks, then you must not worry about short term fluctuations in the market.Make it a policy to buy and hold only bluechip stocks. Do not try to speculate with other riskier stocks.

It is not wise to only trade for short term. If you would like to do short term trading, then you must also make long term investments.

If you decide to allocate 20% of your total assets in the stock markets, then you can allocate 15%-20% in long term or decide to invest 15% for long term and another 5% for short term trades. Please remember that short term trades are comparatively more risky and you must be ready to incur limited losses.
Intra-day trading is not recommended. General experience of people is that they profit in some trades and lose in the other trades and the net effect is that they seem to lose more than they gain. The stress undertaken for intra-day trading is far more than the benefits received from it.

Jar Philosophy of Life

2011-12-03T19:25:00.000+05:30

Jar 1: Long term investment – 10% - This Jar must contain money that should be invested for long term such as for ‘legacy’ which is not to be touched during your life time.
Jar 2: Necessities – 55% of your income – This Jar must contain money which you require to spend on necessities of life such as food, clothing, rent, travel expenses etc.
Jar 3: Personal Education – 10% - This Jar must contain money for your personal education such as attending Training programs, learning new skills, undertaking higher education etc. so that we can enhance our income in the future.
Jar 4: Emergencies – 10% - This Jar must contain money set aside for emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.
Jar 5: Children Education – 10% - This Jar must contain money meant for your children’s education. Allocate this money for good quality education, higher education, foreign education etc.
Jar 6: Charity – 5% - This Jar must contain money for donations and charity to less privileged people. We must always set aside money for the needy and deserving poor. Example: Donations for education, clothes for poor children, contribution to old-age homes etc.
By dividing your monthly income in the above Jars, we will be allocating our money in a much more meaningful and organized way.

Spectacular rise in the Nifty today, ending more than 100 points higher. This was expected as the global cues were extremely positive last night in Europe and US markets.
Currently, the global cues are mildly negative. The US and European markets are down by 0.5-1%.

Today's rise in the Nifty has resulted in it entering the 'buy' zone. However, it is too early to say whether this is the start of a rally or not. A few stocks have entered the buy zone too, but I personally prefer to wait and watch what happens tomorrow. The recent rise could be due to short covering, but nobody can be sure and hence I will wait for some more clarity in the situation.

Long term investors must continue to invest on a monthly basis in bluechips. Do not let the market level determine your investment. If you have decided to invest on a particular every month, then high or low on that particular day, you must invest the amount in a few bluechips for long term.

Starting from today, I will post a small investment tip so that we can all become wise and informed investors.

Starting from this weekend, I will be posting a Personality Development thought.

2011-12-03T19:23:00.002+05:30

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity
Therefore, the next time you feel that there is a lack of opportunities in your life, think about your current situation and pin point areas in your field which can be converted into opportunities to learn, improve and succeed.
All the successful people in the world do not complain about the lack of opportunities. They learn to make use of the opportunities that are already available. They see opportunities in the situations they face on a day to day basis. When we can make use of the things that are already available, we become worthy of newer and better opportunities to excel in life.

Sold and waiting for the next opportunity

Dear Friends,

Nifty fell by almost 80 points today due to negative global cues.
As of now, the global cues are negative. The global markets are down between 0.5-2%.

This discipline of maintaining a stop loss for short term trades is very important. No emotions must be attached to investing or trading. The numbers must direct you to take correct decisions.

Now, we have to wait for the next short term opportunity. There is still 1.5 months left in this year. We may see another opportunity to make 10% profits before the end of this year.
Sell all your recent purchases that you have made, if you have not already done so.
As I said yesterday, I had put a stop loss for my M&M and Titan and both of them were sold at the stop loss level. Therefore, I sold M&M at a loss of 2% and Titan at about 1.5% loss.
M&M fell later to much below my selling price and that is why it is always important to set your stop loss and stick by it.
Long term investors do not need to think about the short term fluctuations. They have to invest knowing that their money would have grown by many number of times in the long term. Bluechips are market leaders and they are usually expected to perform well in the long run. Always remember that safety of your investment should be your first priority and only then should you look for good returns. Do not invest in stocks which may be speculative but have high degree of risk of losing your capital.

Also, I have heard and seen hundreds of cases where investors listen to the advice of the broker to buy shares. Please understand that you should instruct the broker on which shares you want to purchase or sale and NOT take advice from him regarding which shares to buy or sell.

Waiting patiently for the next opportunity

Dear Friends,

Currently, there is no opportunity to buy for short term. Keep your money in the bank and wait for the next opportunity.
The previous opportunity did not give us 10% profits. However, this was one of the unfortunate chances. Lets hope we get another chance of 10% profits before the end of this year.

Nifty again down by 38 points today due to weak Asian market cues.
As of now, the global cues are mildly negative with the markets down by about 0.5%.

Many bluechips are trading at very low prices compared to some days and months back. Long term investors must continue to invest on a monthly basis in bluechips. When the markets fall, long term investors must not stop their monthly investments. This is a time for them to accumulate shares at a lower prices and thereby secure a good average purchase price for their shares.

Why XML Schemas

2011-11-14T11:26:00.002+05:30

XML Schemas are much more powerful than DTDs.
XML Schemas Support Data Types
One of the greatest strength of XML Schemas is the support for data types.
With support for data types:
It is easier to describe allowable document content
It is easier to validate the correctness of data
It is easier to work with data from a database
It is easier to define data facets (restrictions on data)
It is easier to define data patterns (data formats)
It is easier to convert data between different data types
XML Schemas use XML Syntax
Another great strength about XML Schemas is that they are written in XML.
Some benefits of that XML Schemas are written in XML:
You don't have to learn a new language
You can use your XML editor to edit your Schema files
You can use your XML parser to parse your Schema files
You can manipulate your Schema with the XML DOM
You can transform your Schema with XSLT
XML Schemas Secure Data Communication
When sending data from a sender to a receiver, it is essential that both parts have the same "expectations" about the content.
With XML Schemas, the sender can describe the data in a way that the receiver will understand.
A date like: "03-11-2004" will, in some countries, be interpreted as 3.November and in other countries as 11.March.
However, an XML element with a data type like this:
<date type="date">2004-03-11</date>
ensures a mutual understanding of the content, because the XML data type "date" requires the format "YYYY-MM-DD".
XML Schemas are Extensible
XML Schemas are extensible, because they are written in XML.
With an extensible Schema definition you can:
Reuse your Schema in other Schemas
Create your own data types derived from the standard types
Reference multiple schemas in the same document
Well-Formed is not Enough
A well-formed XML document is a document that conforms to the XML syntax rules, like:
it must begin with the XML declaration
it must have one unique root element
start-tags must have matching end-tags
elements are case sensitive
all elements must be closed
all elements must be properly nested
all attribute values must be quoted
entities must be used for special characters
Even if documents are well-formed they can still contain errors, and those errors can have serious consequences.
Think of the following situation: you order 5 gross of laser printers, instead of 5 laser printers. With XML Schemas, most of these errors can be caught by your validating software.
