If I buy a house, then I can take a loan, from a bank, with the obligation to pay back the loan at a certain minimum amount per month or year, with zero interest. Why is the interest needed other than to keep the bank going? I could take the loan directly from the government, and no bank is then really necessary.

Then what about if a company wanted to take a huge loan? The answer is: they will have to get money from venture capital companies, and the agreement they make is a deal between the company that wants the loan and the venture capital company that provides the money. No banks needed.

The same with other services banks provide. They could be done by ordinary companies.

I understand that in practice, banks are deeply integrated into society. But in theory, are banks and interest really needed? Would it be possible to have a totally interest-free economy?

A curiosity question.
Man acquires about $5mil in capital from a venture capitalist.
Man buys a group of radio stations.
Man does nothing to promote his radio stations or improve them. Runs odd formats i.e. playing music nobody has ever heard of. Firing staff willy-nilly, managing from 900 miles away. Believing he will just become #1 by his mere existence.
Now the stations are about to go “dark.”
He truly squandered his opportunity.
He is regarded as crazy.
Is it like the old saying, “Don’t try to understand crazy” ?
Or was this guy crazy as a fox?
Is this something done regularly by businessmen in order to gain something? Like a tax write-off for instance?
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered such a thing and to what ends it was done.

THE CODER


I am a IT Engineer from INDIA.
I want to know each and every details about getting VENTURE CAPITAL to start my business over here in INDIA. I want to go for steel or cement or power or bio fuels or IT sector.
Should I have to become member of any association for that.
Should it be possible that I don’t need a single penny to start my business by using Venture Capital. If not then how much will be the minimum investment from my side?
Plese give detailed info about VC. If needed provide me the ways of contact to the respective authority.
Give me names of some countries where I can start and run my business more easily and with less or no investment.

Why?


I majored in Computer Science/IT. I work for a consulting firm and most people talk about investment, capital, private equity, share holder, venture capital, and the like. I have no idea whatsoever what those terms are, since they never did teach those in college. When my co-workers talk about these kind of stuff, I am always out of words. I want to learn all about these business terms? Is there a Book that you can recommend or any learning alternatives that would help me be able to hop in on one of the “business topic conversations” that they always have. Thanks!

I have 3 excellent business start-up ideas, but I have a few major problems: My credit is bad, I have no way of raising capital traditionally, I don’t understand the grant process, I have no available funds to purchase any of those grant books or venture capital memberships I have no family to help with start-up. What else is there for me?

I know that all of my ideas are viable and are needed in my area/community. I have done a lot of research, leg work, phone calls and other contact and communication.

Any ideas that would help me get my ideas out of my head and actually up and running before the end of this year? I truly want to get off government assistance but am limited to the types of employment that I can do. HELP!!!

Oh, my ideas consist of a full-range music school, youth center and a live music club. I have the verbal support of my community but no one is willing to help raise capital.

Hey, I am considering doing a double major in business (finance) and accounting. I can do it in 4 years, I would just have a tight schedule with a tougher work load and not be able to take any elective classes that seem interesting. Is it worth it to risk a better GPA if I were just to mahjor in accounting? How does it benefit me if I want to go into financial services (i-banking, private equity, hedge fund, venture capital…) and/or corp. finance in energy or healthcare?

One of the hottest internet concepts today has received a lot of press.

Everyone is wondering where will the revenue come from?
I have a few ideas which may help. In fact I have registered a few domains that play on these ideas. How can I get these ideas to the right people without having them “yanked out” from under me?

I have contacted their venture capital firm and they are un-willing to hear the ideas. They claim lots of ideas are in the works.

How should I proceed?
