I respect him for his brief interventions in the house.
Most may not know that he was honoured as the outstanding parliamentarian in 2001. He was always very pleasing to listen in the House. A very old school Parliamentarian.
The nation shall always be indebted to #JaswantSingh for his contributions. To me, the biggest contribution by him was this one bill:
Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Bill(and now Act).
Just giving the link to the introductory speech.

FRBM act was a landmark act.
The ramifications of it has been felt even today.

One of the key statements is 5(1), which said the GoI can’t keep on borrowing from RBI and walk to a debt trap. Remember this act was passed before the UPA came in and harakiried our finances. ImageImage
This is how @orfonline describes the FRBM Act in chapter 55, p119-120 of “70 Policies that shaped India”.

FRBM Act ended up as a toothless tiger in the UPA era. In fact, the much stricter act was watered down after it was sent through a Standing committee. You want to make any bill impotent, just send it to a Parliamentary committee. Behind closed doors, they will make it a eunuch.
But, I always remember #JaswantSingh ji with immense respect for that one act.
He was the first person who dared to bell that cat. The mere existence of that Act had ensured that states and centre don’t bankrupt the nation chasing the freebie politics.

My respects
Om Shanti 🙏

This is the trickle I expected to see.

@economyninja explains what else is happening due to the delay in ship turn around times. Mind you, most Chinese exporters are smart. They don’t ship until they get full payment. And most buyers stupidly pay upfront!
The kind of stories we have been repeatedly seeing.
a) foreign companies are steadily leaving china.
b) some think they are too invested in China, and they are talking China plus one.
c) Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean companies are closing in large numbers, mostly kicked out.
d) there is huge imbalance in container traffic. Trade imbalances are affecting shipping.
e) the shipping delays are getting too worse. It’s choking inbound traffic in consumer states.
f) Fuck you, corona!
(I hope that covers all manpower disruptions due to Wuhan virus)

Time for a bit on China.

You all know how i love to bash China and Xi Jinping.
Now, a little bit without the excessive dramatisations.
2. #XiJinping is a rare leader that China has received. Providence has a way to feed the right medicine to someone that it wants to keep alive longer.
Jinping is just that.
3. The mess in China can be easily related. What we have is a large babudom state. The party politbureau is the only controlling authority, but it’s a collection of different ambitions, that just want to show good results on paper. The whole system relies on having good press.

I am not an economist, but this is what i feel is happening around us.

This is start of a rant.
Pandemic induced trade disruption is a reality.
It’s timing though is either miraculous or impeccable, based on which side of the conspiracy theory aisle you prefer.

Pre-pandemic, everything wasn’t really that rosy. And this is around the world.
3. Stuff like steel, oil, etc were already under some kind of pressure.
A lot of muck was getting stirred in China.

Global gdp growth data in pic. The last peak was the 4.3% in 2009. In 2019, it was a mere 2.3%. People were just hoping that 2020 would be better.

@chittukuruvi4
This is the video to broadly answer your evergrande question
@chittukuruvi4
This is a very interesting conversation. Ofc, none better than @_nirajshah to ask those relevant questions.
The key part: it’s not really about evergrande hitting us.
It’s about this huge india story. Key factor: India needs to go up 8-10% to meet pre-covid levels
@chittukuruvi4
Another key take away:
This guy is already talking about being selective. That’s very interesting.
It’s as if he is indicating that we are near the peak or we are a bit past it.
And, he expects a >5% correction.
I think earnings will adjust.

109. #Options #Notes

A quick update on a few stuff.

For a conservative, low margin money person(low money at hand), the best option in credit spreads is about 25-30 delta. You are looking for risk reward 1:0.5 to 1:0.25.
You can manage at 1:1 by being more active.
110. #Options #Notes
It’s better to have all spreads at 1/3rd the width of strike.
That gives us a 1:0.5 RR ratio. Ex: trade with max profit of ₹1k has max loss of ₹2k.

You can’t have a low probability trade unless you are damn sure about it.
111. #Options #Notes

If you are going to be directional, be directional.
I had tried both ATM bullish put spread and 35 delta put spread on SBIN. I got more out of former because i got the direction right and i used closer to 50 delta.

In directional, do it 💯 or don’t do it.

I believe what’s happening now is a disruption in the way we think of commutation.

The pandemic has shown us that an 8-hr office is not really necessary.
Of course, there are sectors where Work-From-Home doesn’t make sense.
But, vast majority of work can be done from home.
The reason: we have now digital connectivity substituting for physical or road connectivity.
This is an option we never had in the past.
Technically, we can employ people from home, with an occasaional face to face interaction for certain limited activities that require physical presence.
