What is intangible asset? Why investors should focus on it?

 1/ Well, everyone knows an Intangible asset is not physical in nature i.e., it is something that we cannot touch. Let explore more into the concept of intangible assets – a valuable driver for companies.
2/ Intangible assets include goodwill, brand value, patent, copyright, trademark, etc. It is important to evaluate these assets as they are a valuable contributor to a company for long-term success or failure. For instance, companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft
3/ are successful due to significant brand recognition. Similarly, Indian FMCG companies like HUL, Coalgate, Britannia enjoy huge benefits due to investment in brand awareness. IT and Pharmaceutical companies protect their sales through patents, copyright, software licensing.
4/ Most internally created intangible assets are not recorded on the company’s balance sheet or have no recorded book value. For instance, even though a coca-cola logo carries huge brand value, it does not show on the balance sheet because it was created internally, and
5/ does not have a price to assign fair market value. However, if company A purchases copyrights from company B, it will be recorded in the company 's A balance sheet as an intangible asset.
6/ There are certain exceptions and criteria, to recognize internally created intangible assets. Suppose the company incurred any cost in the development phase to create a patent is generally capitalized as an expense. We will discuss this example later in the thread.
7/ Goodwill and Intangible assets are used interchangeably but there is a significant difference between the two in accounting terms. The two terms are listed in separate line items on the balance sheet.
8/ Goodwill is a type of intangible asset which is recorded on the balance sheet when a company completes an acquisition with another company for premium value. It accounts for all non-quantifiable items such as brand recognition, strong customer base. The process of calculating
9/ goodwill is simple in theory but complex to measure when put into practice. A simple way to define goodwill is to subtract the purchase price from the market value of a net asset of the acquire.
Goodwill = Purchase price of the target company - (MV Asset – MV liabilities)
10/ Let us consider the example of the T-Mobile & Sprint Merger in 2018. The deal was valued at $35.8 billion in March 2018. The net value of the asset comes around $32.4 B. Thus, the premium paid for the deal was $3.4 Billion and is recognized as Goodwill in T-Mobile’s b/sheet.
11/ Anything a firm pays above the fair market value of its net assets is identifiable as goodwill. Microsoft bought LinkedIn at $25B, though the net asset value of LinkedIn was $4 B. Microsoft paid a whopping premium of $21 B for LinkedIn brand, customer base, technology.
12/ Whereas intangible assets which are not physical but identifiable such as patent, copyrights, licensing contract, website domain name, blueprints, etc. It is possible for a company to estimate the value of these assets and can be bought and sold independently unlike goodwill.
13/ So, now how do we justify something which is not physically existing on the balance sheet? Tangible assets with estimated life spans are expensed using depreciation. Similarly, amortization is used to reflect the reduction in the value of intangible assets with definite life.
14/ Lets us first understand how to make a distinction between internally created intangible and acquired intangible assets. Suppose the company spent ₹10 lakh for developing software in-house, ₹9 lakh legal fees to obtain the patent for 12 years, and ₹20 lakh for promotion.
15/ How should a company account for this cost? So, ₹10 lakh should be expensed as development expense, ₹20 lakh is expensed as promotion cost, and ₹9 lakh patent cost should be recorded as an intangible asset and amortized over its useful life of 12 years.
16/ So, each year the value of software (patent) is reduced by ₹75000 (9,00,000/12) in the balance sheet using the straight-line method, and the same value is shown in the income statement under amortization expense.
17/ Likewise, if a company spent ₹10 lakh on the purchase of a patent with a useful life of 5 years, ₹2 lakhs is amortized each year using the straight-line method. According to International accounting standards, Goodwill with an indefinite life is not amortized rather
18/ value should be periodically reviewed with an impairment test. If a company acquired asset falls below the carrying value or book value, then it must be impaired or written down to its current value. And this expense is recognized as a loss in the income statement.
19/ How does asset impairment work? When the company records a goodwill impairment, it is signalling that the fair market value of the purchased asset has fallen compared to what the company paid to the acquired entity.
20/ For instance, in 2013-14, Microsoft acquired Nokia at approx. $7.9 B. and recognize $5.5B Goodwill related to acquisition. Later, Microsoft realized that the book value of goodwill was deemed to be overstated because the company was not able to capitalize the
21/ potential benefit in the cell phone business through the Nokia deal, and finally in 2016 company writes-off $7.2B of which approx. $ 5.1B was recorded as Goodwill impairment charges from the Nokia deal. There are various reasons for impairment includes
22/ weakening economic conditions, legal issues, increasing competition, changes in course of business. Though there is the complexity involved in calculating and evaluating impairments risk but there are few broad aspects which investor can examine while analyzing company
23/ such as evaluate company’s past acquisition, assess intangibles asset (Goodwill) to total asset ratio, focus on the company’s ROA when a large proportion of total asset is attributable to intangible asset. So, Intangible assets (and goodwill) reflect valuable information and
24/ are important drivers for shareholders' value, especially when a lot of leading companies are in technology (knowledge-based) and service industries. And assessing such companies requires effort to study these assets to uncover potential competitive advantage of business.

Three things which will make a difference in Your trading Results.

A thread-


1. Clarity- When the mind is free from fear and ego

The first step to successful trading is to be clear about everything you do.

BUT, the reality is that most traders don't even know what they are doing.

And because of this-

They don't have any goals.
They don't have any Trading plan
They don't know what is suitable for them
And the list goes, on and on.

If you are among the people as described above, don't worry, There is nothing wrong with you, almost 90% of Traders are like that.

So, what do you have to do to get CLARITY in your Trading-

Find one style that is suitable to your personality and double down on it.

Why?


In this world where we have plethora of information just one click away, most people are distracted and see a Glowy thing every time they go over the social media.

They Find something new every now and then, jumping from one strategy to another, searching for Holy grail.

So what will be the aftermath of this GME event?

These are simply my guesses, I don't actually know.

Wallstreet will likely push for licenses being necessary to trade, or put more limits on how many trades you can make, or some other way to screw the average person trading. 1/

FYI, you can only make 4 trades in a day, but if you have more than $25,000 in your account you can make as many as you want.

The system is rigged against the poor, and weighted heavily in favour of the rich. 2/

Will the government shut down the market?

It's possible, but I doubt it.
It would open up new precedents and the optics would be terrible- i.e. shutting down the market because greedy hedgefunds fucked up, and normal people are taking them to the cleaners. 3/

If the government gives in to Wallstreet, they lose all credibility, because this story is basically David vs Goliath, where the Reddit guys are the good guys, and the hedgefunds are the bad guys.

4/

Likely they will implement similar rules to Europe, that stops naked short selling.

Anything more than that, I'm not sure.
I think the media will push the threat of the government shutting down trading, in order to scare people into selling, to give short sellers a way out. 5/

Some observations and thoughts on ZILSwap: What went well, its impact on the $ZIL ecosystem and where we need to improve with some concrete plans that are being worked on. A thread:

👇

1/ ZILSwap was launched by @SwitcheoNetwork on Oct 5, 2020 (~2 months old). Soon after, we noticed for the first time, a flurry of ZRC-2 tokens (equiv. of ERC20s on $ZIL) getting launched on the network (even though the fungible token standard had been around for a while).

2/ The ability to provide a marketplace for people to exchange tokens was the trigger for deveopers to start issuing tokens and developing a token economy. In fact, there was a token for which, the entire supply was put on a ZILSwap pool w/o any team withholding.

3/ This was an extreme example of why a DEX was needed and the role it played in bootstrapping several tokens and respective token economies. Over 25 tokens are available on ZILSwap in the form of liquidity pools. The total pool size across all tokens is over USD 1 million.

4/ ZILSwap also made it possible for the first time for anyone to get access to $XSGD (the Singapore Dollar Stablecoin issued by @xfers). In fact $XSGD and $gZIL contribute the greatest proportion of the total pool.

Working on some execution optimisation related backtesting. I have so far been executing with market orders only. Going towards higher lot sizes, I'd like to optimise for minimal slippage.

First off, on NSE, if you place a market order, you get filled at the best bid/ask right?

If we want to optimise this, the first non-creative idea one can think of is, slicing the order into different lot sizes, and placing a limit order for each slice at the mid point of current best bid & ask.

But this requires your latency to be the least.

Why would latency affect it?

I looked at tick historical data, and there are more than 18-20 ticks in a second (auction and quote combined).

Even if you keep 10 ticks per second, your best bid/ask can shift from the time you place to the time exchange receives the order.

So, the next best thing that people can do is place tranches of orders every 1s, 3s, 5s, 10s, 15s - in their preferred time range, and get filled at the midpoint or best-bid+1/2/3/4/5 in the depth.

What you need is liquidity.

But if you're trading breakouts, then it's highly likely that your limit orders may not get filled if the action is too fast.

So, a retry mechanism is required in such cases.

If nothing works, you convert your orders to marketable and get filled at worse slippage.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।

Again sharing bank nifty intraday weekly straddle. How to play by selling straddle.
Mostly will work on Monday to Wednesday. Sometimes on Friday.
Why to pay your money to learn this if u can get it here.
U need only practice.
Let’s go.

Say bank nifty future is at 32000.
Sell both 32000 call and put.
Considering current volatile market lest say premium on Monday morning is 350 on both sides.
Sold with 700 points combine premium.
If bank nifty will trade in narrow range say +\- 100 hold it.
If moving 200 points

then exit previous sold straddle. Sell new one. Let’s say BN moved +200
Now sell 32200. If bank nifty will move here within range then u will get profit through theta decay. Follow same procedure for next 150-200 pts move.

This is only for single straddle sell position.

Now in second case sell three straddle. 31900/32000/32100
In case of 100 points move no need to change.
If 200 + then future is 32200.
Exit 31900 and sell 31200 straddle.
If moving another 100 then exit 32000 and sell 32300. Continue same with 100 points move.
If no move then

it will consolidate between 32000-32200 or 32100 to 32300 and u will get theta decay.

This is for normal move. Sudden big move may come anytime. So keep SL in system.
If u r selling at 350-350 then keep SL in system 475 for both legs.
Practice it. No need to attend webinar.

SRISAILAM: KASHI OF THE SOUTH (AP)
#andhratemples

The divine abode of Mallikarjuna Swamy (Jyotirlinga) and Devi Brahmaramba (Shaktipeeth).

When Ganesha was married before Kartikeya, he left in anger to Kraunch mountain. Shiva and Parvati also followed him there.


Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirlinga and resided on the mountain by the name of Mallikarjuna. Mallika means Parvati while Arjuna is another name of Shiva
It is also said that once, a princess Chandravathi, saw a cow shedding milk on a rock resembling a shivlingam.
@DubeyYash1911


She started praying to the lingam daily and used to offer jasmine (mallika pushpam) daily. Pleased Shiva appeared before her and agreed to wear jasmine garland (mallika pushpmala) on his head permanently. Since then, Shiva became known as Mallikarjun Swamy.


At this place, Shakti took the form of Bhramaram (bee) to kill Arunasur and settled as Bhramaramba Devi. The place is a Shakti Peeth as the neck portion of Devi Sati fell here.

It is said that by merely seeing the hill, one is emancipated from all his sins and worries.

Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir
