@RameshSchaffter keeps alluding to "something wrong" with the z-score (standardisation). Let me demystify this once and for all. There are three things that we need to consider: (1) The z-score calculation (2) The quota system, and (3) Preference matrix. 1/n

Might happen soon in SL too. Wonder how taxation is right now. Surely they must be liable for VAT? Not being able to set prices sucks though.

Seems @Nestle is buying remaining shares of #NEST SL in @CSE_Media for the same price. No dividend for 2023 declared (yet?). No financials made available. Yes we are a developing market with corporate governance issues, but this is a legendary multinational we are talking about.

#EXPO is clearly a pandemic stock! It’s performance reflective of Freight index its fault of a few vested parties to glorify and pushing the prices as high as 400. 185 seem to be an adequate premium to its FV. Smalltime investors be better off if they accept. #CSE #StockMarket

Tax revenues and tax rates are not the same. Some of these countries have lower taxes for certain industries and based on turnover/profit. Some have super taxes for profits exceeding a certain threshold. But by no means is our tax rate lower than regional peers.

Very underrated advice. Everyone (except those nearing or in retirement) should have exposure to equity. That doesn't mean you buy stocks. Invest through funds that do it for you. Unfortunately the industry doesn't do enough to promote itself.

Same applies to IIT as well. We've taken the easy way out by raising the % and reducing the slabs but no significant effort to rope in the evaders. Many evade paying balance tax on bank interest income.

@NCdeMel My view was that present value doesn't matter for a hold to maturity portfolio. If banks also do the same, there is no issue. Regulatory impacts on holding could change whether this is possible. The NPV loss would depend on what we discount each cashflow at as well
@yasasrij It's not extra money. This is just an temporal adjustment. They were to be paid on original coupon dates. The amounts are lower but date is advanced. The original coupon payments will no longer be there. You are getting something lower, but earlier. But nothing extra.
