Yes, finance has been witnessing a whole new world order at below the lower bound with more number of bonds now throwing negative yields and the ‘interesting’ part is that they are actually selling, meaning that there are buyers and investors who are buying them. Years together we have been hearing economists on the right side of the zero arguing about the thresholds of the bound. However, we can now believe that yields can still go freewheeling much below or to the left of the zero. Finance thus opens up to another act, this time to the left of the zero on the number line.

Guilt .. Guilt... Guilt Marketing

The encyclopedia of psychology defines guilt as an emotional state produced by thoughts, that we have not lived up to our ideal self and could have done otherwise. Extending on similar lines, consumer guilt has been defined as a negative feeling resulting from a consumer decision that is against one’s ideals. The psychological models of consumer decision making generally concentrate on cognitive processes like influence, motivation etc. These are derived by various emotions in the human brain like happiness, guilt, pride and others. “Open happiness” by Coca cola or “kuch meetha ho jaye” by Cadbury’s diary milk touch upon the happiness quotient.
