How Does Zero Cost EMI work?

What is the catch here? How do Companies involved make money here?

A Thread🧵👇

Please "RT" if you like the thread.

 1/ You are looking for a mobile phone worth Rs.10,000 on Amazon and as you move ahead to place the order, you are offered an option to pay that amount spread across 6 months. 6 EMIs of Rs.1667. No interest charges or processing fees.
2/ The next thought you have is - ‘obviously there is some catch here’. Why would someone give me an option to pay over 6 months? That too without any fees/charges!?

The catch is - it is more to do with marketing and sales than finance.
3/ There are 3 entities involved in this transaction. The platform (Amazon), Mobile Brand (Samsung), and the finance company (Bajaj Finance).
4/ Imagine you are a student who just got an internship with a stipend of Rs.5000. Shelling out Rs.10000 may not be possible for you. But if you have to pay Rs.1667 a month for 6 months, you feel like you have got a deal! Samsung gets to sell more. Amazon gets more commission.
5/ But what about Bajaj Finance?? How will it make money and get compensated for taking on credit risk?

Samsung will cut out a deal with Bajaj Finance. It will provide a 5% discount to Bajaj Fin. So Bajaj Fin will pay Samsung Rs.9500 while it will receive 10k from the customer
6/ So, Bajaj Fin earns Rs.500 only? NO!

Here comes the Cash Flow Wizardry:

As months pass by, Bajaj receives EMIs, the outstanding amount decreases and so does the interest on it. It deploys these EMIs to give another loan and so on. On annualized basis, it earns 19.44% !!
7/ Compared to the cost of funds of 10%, this translates to Net Interest Margin(NIMs) of 9%. Not that bad. Plus Bajaj Fin gets to acquire the customer and cross-sell other products in the future.
8/ When does this turn into a gimmick? If say Amazon foregoes the discount it would have given you or Samsung adds the cost of interest to the price of the product. Not much you can do here.
9/ So to sum it up, Samsung sells more products, Amazon gets more commission, Bajaj Finance gets good NIMs & a customer to cross-sell and the customer gets a flexible payment option to buy the mobile phone by not having to pay the full amount upfront.

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...

Introducing “Financial Service Centers.” The future of the new Financial Service Industry.

There is a need that the banking system has provided for all of society that cannot be eliminated within the new Quantum Financial System./1

The financial system is the glue that holds society together as we go about our commerce one with another. It is essential./2

As long as money is used to exchange goods and services, it is a service that must continue in some form, hopefully, better. Positioning ourselves to perform this service is essential./3

As the Zim Benefactors begin their humanitarian activities, a new Financial Service Industry will need to be created out of the demise of the banks. It is a major facet of society that few Zim Benefactors have given any thought to./4

The Financial Services Industry is just as important as putting food on the table and a roof over the heads of humanity if society is to be successful. Again, it is the glue or mortar, that keeps the bricks of society together./5

Thread: Central Pivot Range (CPR)

CPR is another popular tool. Three lines are plotted on the chart when we plot CPR.

The three lines are: CPR, TC and BC.

Let’s understand the calculation.


You may recall that I explained the calculation of Pivot levels in an earlier thread. CPR stands for Central Pivot Range. It is always a center line of the three lines that gets plotted in the chart.

CPR is a Pivot price. Pivot is average of HLC as explained in the prev thread.


We also discussed about Mid-range of the session. Mid-range is average of High and low price of the session.

The mid-range of the bar is known as BC in the CPR calculation. BC stands for Bottom central pivot.


Pivot level captures the relationship of the closing price to the range of the session.

Pivot price above mid-price = bullish pivot
Pivot price below mid-price = bearish pivot


So, CPR line is Pivot and BC line is Mid-range.

What is the difference between both?
Mid-range is average of High and Low.

Pivot is average of High, Low and Close.
What will make the difference between the two?

Close.

Beautiful story of Shri Krishna, Mata Rukmini & Satyabhama which teaches the importance of Bhakthi.
Devotion is important than anything.
#bhakthi
🕉
Satyabhama, royal princess was very proud of herself. Rukmini was very humble, her devotion was pure to Shri Krishna.


One day, Rishi Narada( Kalahapriya) arrived in Dwaraka and met Sathyabhama. In between the conversation he hinted that Krishna exhibits affection more to Rukmini than her. Worried Sathyabhama asked what can should be done to gain Krishna's undivided attention.
@SriramKannan77


Narada asked Satyabhama to make a vow, that she will hand over Krishna to him as a slave, if she cannot trade wealth equivalent to Krishna's weight. Narada thus convinces Sathyabhama that Krishna will admire her for sacrificing all her wealth for him.


Sathyabhama was sure that she have enough wealth to balance Krishna.

She went to Krishna and told about her vow to Narada. Krishna patiently listened to her and accepted the challenge. Satyabhama arranged to bring large scales to weigh and brought all her precious jewels.


Krishna patiently sat on one plate of the Scales (tula). Sathyabhama started piling up the gold, jewels on the other plate. She kept adding more and more wealth, but the pan with Krishna did not even budge. Even after keeping all her jewels the scale did not move a little

Ancient Egypt was the most advanced civilization in the ancient world. Why was Egypt so special?

There are so many firsts in Egypt that we all know about, and that makes Egypt unique. For example, the Sumerians did not build the pyramids of Egypt.

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.
