A ЁЯз╡on the basics of block and bulk deals.

Block and bulk deals are large purchases of stocks by investment banks, mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, FIIs, and promoters. Tracking block and bulk deals can help give you a sense of what these large players are thinking.

A single transaction where shares more than Rs 10 crores or the number of shares traded are more than 5 lakh is considered a block deal.
Block deals are carried out in separate trading windows. This trading window operates in two shifts of 15 minutes each:

Morning trading window from 8:45 AM to 9:00 AM.
Afternoon trading window from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM
Block deals happen in different windows to reduce volatility and sudden price movements. Given that they are traded in a separate window, they do not show up on the volume charts.
Brokers facilitating the transaction are required to inform the exchange. You can track bulk and block deals on NSE & BSE:

Block deals are placed within ( + or -) 1% of the Block Reference Price.
Block reference price is determined in 2 ways:
The previous dayтАЩs closing price for the morning trading window.
Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the stock between 1:45 to 2:00 PM for the afternoon.
A transaction involving at least 0.5% of the total listed shares of a company is a bulk deal. Unlike Block deals, bulk deals happen during regular trading hours and are visible to all the market participants.
The broker is required to inform the stock exchange details like the amount of the transaction, deal participants and other required information.
Can a bulk deal also be a block deal?

Yes, the parties can also carry out the bulk deal as a block deal if it meets the requirement of both the deals.
Requirement for a bulk deal:
If the transaction involves 0.5 % of the shares of a company

Requirement for block deal: Deal value is Rs 10 crores, or the number of shares traded are more than 5 lakh
A lot of investors track these bulk and block deals closely to keep track of what famous investors are buying and selling. Some even blindly buy & and sell just because some well known investors bought or sold.
One point to keep in mind is that for every big investor buying a particular stock, there is also a big investor selling its position in the same share.
Bulk and block deals data contain a lot of noise, and copycat investing can be pretty risky. You need to have your own thesis for buying or selling something at the end of the day.
These deals indicate corporate interest and may cause prices to fluctuate in the short term.

However, investment decisions should not be made based on indicators alone, but also based on fundamentals.

THREAD: Who are the rising stars of Chinese elite politics in the central Party-State bureaucracy?

For @MacroPoloChina I analyzed last year's ministerial-level promotions to posts in Beijing

TLDR: Ties to Xi JinpingтАФor a Xi allyтАФare very helpful! (1/14)

https://t.co/kO2A0Efyq2


Seven politicians were promoted to ministerial-level positions in central Party agencies last year

All are likely to feature on the next Central Committee selected at the 2022 Party Congress

Some could make the CCP's elite 25-person Politburo (2/14)

https://t.co/kO2A0Efyq2


Likeliest for the Politburo is Meng Xiangfeng, new Executive Deputy Director of the CCP General Office

He would replace Xi ally Ding Xuexiang as CCP chief-of-staff if Ding is promoted further in 2022

Meng worked under Xi allies Cai Qi in Hangzhou and Chen Xi in Liaoning (3/14)


Less likely for the Politburo but still important is Jiang Jinquan, new Director of the CCP Policy Research Office

He replaces 5th-ranked leader Wang Huning who led the Party's brains trust for 18 years

Wang remains prominent and will be <68 in 2022, so he'll stay around (4/14)


Other notable central Party promotions include Li Shulei and Liang Yanshun, who both assisted Xi when he led the Central Party School from 2007-2012

Li is a political conservative who is said to be quite close with Xi, even drafting his 2014 speech on culture and art (5/14)
Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.
