Charles County student's AP excellence draws notice
Although 205 Charles County, Maryland public school students were recognized for exceptional achievement on college-level Advanced Placement (AP) exams, one student stood out.
Ashin Shah took 17 of the tests in his high school career and received the highest possible score, 5, on every single one, placing him among the academic elite not only locally but nationwide, College Board officials said.
To begin with, few students take that many AP tests. The fact that Shah scored a 5 on each one is "pretty outstanding," said Jennifer Topiel, a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the tests.
"It's not your average student who takes that many tests and does that well," she said.
In the spring, Shah graduated as valedictorian from Thomas Stone High School in Waldorf.
He was the student member of the Charles County Board of Education last school year and a National Merit Scholar.
Shah is a freshman at Harvard University.

Hi,
It’s a well know fact that stock market is affected by elections and now Election 2009 are about to begin in some time so for sure they will also have some sort of impact on Indian stock market.
One can find complete report on Impact of elections on stock market
Apart from Elections another major concern for Indian stock market is Inflation. There was a time when we were concerned about rising inflation but now we are conscious about this falling inflation.
So big question is what should day traders and investors do?
Frankly speaking day traders are least concerned about the market they simply follow trend and make maximum out of it. But yes investors should keep there portfolio light till the elections get over.
Please feel free to contact us for any query.

We all get bombarded every day with mails, morning briefs as to which stock we should pick and how will be the market trend today. Every time the brokerage houses will send the stock market tips> as if we all are playing a gamble and need the tricks as to how we can win it. And anticipating as to how to do stop loss and at least will make smaller profits. What most of the investor do is they consider short term trading as the long term investment and believe as to how it can be doubled in a day. Buying a stock just because the price is low and some stock market tip you received that this will boom in the market today. What most of us do is that we all trade with money which we can’t afford to lose but the market always says that invest only that money which is in excess to you. All of these are the big mistakes which we commit every day in spite of being reminded every time that we should complete our home work for the next day.
Things to Remember when invest in stock market: >
We believe that the fundamental says invest in those company about which you know completely , but that doesn’t mean you fall in love with a company and a particular stock just because you are familiar with it or it create news in the stock market every time. Most of us just try proving our fundamentals are right and for that we apply too many technical indicators on that stock. It’s not true that the stock will go according to its fundamentals and technical, many stocks behave opposite to their indicators, thus they do not guarantee as to whether it will go up or down.
Investors jump to penny stocks as they immediately boom in the market due to rumors what need to understand is that the Penny stocks are very risky , and on this basis make your strategy as to which one to pick from that lot and how much to invest . The portfolio of the investor should be constructed in such a manner that it allots weight age to different sector and the sizes of the stocks so that the diversification is there and the risk can be mitigated. Therefore the weight age of penny stocks in one‘s portfolio should not be more that the 15%. This is to minimize the losses and to accumulate the profits also.
Keep a watch on the industry of the particular stock. Most of the stock behaves according to their industry trend. Thus if in the budget the government committed to play large role in the infrastructure sector , all the stocks will go react as per the budget and the whole sector recorded the jump of 12% on the next day. But it might be the case that the industry is booming and the stock is going down, therefore along with Industry, Company information is also vital.
Past performance of any company doesn’t not hold true or affect its future performance. Many of the Indian stocks which were heavy weight in the past few years and were considered the blue chip companies in this market are either bankrupt or have become extinct in the market. Thus continuous performance analysis and evaluation is important.
