Please share your take on this.

I dont defend this douche guy, he deserve it for being an @sshole.
Tapi ada yang punya kronologi jelasnya dia sebenarnya ngapain sebagai affliator binomo? Gua cari di berita isinya di luar konteks dan isinya "diduga" dan ga jelasin kronologi urutannya sampe urusan pacarnya segala.
Ada yang bilang dia sebagai affliator meraup uang loss pemainnya. Gua ga ngerti soal app binomo tapi apa itu hasil loss bisa connect ke "kantong" dia? Apa dia jadi agen perantara ketiga macam judi bola?
Does binomo even legal? I mean its legal in India. Dan konsepnya nyambung ke forex kan?
Gua cuman pengen tahu aja ginian, bahkan telegram grup mayoritas kalangan "investor" begitu kan disangka tempat chat teroris dulu kan dan terus disuruh uninstall. I have trust issues because massive of propraganda we are facing rn.

Was busy yesterday with stuff so I didnt do any but I did a few more today.
I was asked what school I was from, and uh, its RI, which might explain my liking for "full and complete" forms of some things like i.r MP. Unfortunately the markers report is not on holy grail so you cant see the 75 page terror of the RI markers report (when I first got it it was that feeling of dead when your front page of Chem P3 shows "This paper consists of 38 printed pages") but if you can convince someone to scan it for you that thing is a treasure trove of memorisable analysis.

Some techical issue makes the diagram not appear for some questions Use |PED|<1 or magnitude not PED<1 (P1Q1b) Evaluations are normal just things like LSR or govt uses tax to solve root cause or state and nature of economy nothing insane The band descriptors at the end look long but they actually say nothing, i think its just copy pasted from the rubrics Didnt really justify why inc in demand is greater than the fall (P2Q1a) Normally, I would rather not refer to the diagram at all before I draw it, just state changes in DD/SS then draw diagram then state supply curve movements, just makes it cleaner Didn't even identify where the shortage is on the graph, if youre going to label something please use it in your analysis (Other than Yf and equilibrium amounts) (P2Q1a) The analysis is very very brief and will just state information or occassionally identify 2 points without any extra analysis about why those 2 points illustate the concept Repeated explainations To compare burden of increased costs, identify another market with different PED/PES values to show difference in burdens (P2Q1b) No analysis on price match decrease but not increase, just states High BTE thus mutual interdependence (P2Q2a) No diagrams for comparing MC and AC curve for big v small stores? (P2Q2a) Business size is judged by level of output not size of demand (P2Q2b) Somehow managed to write a firms essay without a diagram This is actually a situation where a rotation about a point makes more sense because MEB would decrease over years, however as expected so far, does not address it in explaiantion at all (P2Q3a) The 1 time they decide to draw a diagram they dont even use it (P2Q4a) Overall HCI and DHS's lazy brother because it makes some attempt at explainations and analysis somewhat exists but they're so brief you might as well not say or just missing The fact that they squeeze 10 and 15 mark essays in the span of like 1 page is kind of telling of the overall quality of this one Im not even kidding when I say the band descriptors are longer than some essays I can't really give this a U because its not wrong, just very sparse 

NYJC - A

Abit more analysis on shifting DD curve could have been done (P1Q1bii) Outreach is form of education, hence education diagram can be drawn (P1Q1dii) I think its better here is they went 1 education and 1 on MEC because theres abit more range that way (P1Q1dii) No Market adjustment process (it also applies to the Forex market) (P1Q2c) No multiplier effect (P1Q2d) 2nd limitation dosent make sense, for AD you only care that the Govt spends money only the fall in COP and increase in Yf depend on time lag (P1Q2e) YED diagrams can be combined in exam for time, but its probably just were for clarity (P2Q1a) Market adjustment process missing (P2Q1) Kinked DD theory is not expected to be illustrated in syllabus (P2Q2a) Overall This is another pretty good markers report, abit of extra stuff here and there but the things that its missing are not that serious especially MAP and Multiplier are kinda expected by default 

RI - A

Its good just really really long (75 pages long) Also its not on Holy Grail lol because the school never gave us the pdf version 

Hi Friends, after the stock market crashed in 2008, congress and the financial committee set up a system for the Federal Reserve to perform 4 rounds of liquidity stress testing per year on banks with over $10 billion in consolidated assets.
The results of these 4 stress tests are then compiled into an annual report, with each bank reporting its own results and the Federal Reserve bank reporting any statistical anomalies. Results for the previous year are typically reported around April-July of the current year and guide stock behavior for earnings. About 34 banks are subject to these statistical back testing, and discussion of the results for each bank can be found below. Banks may also request the Federal Reserve to perform a CCAR test to replace the DFAST test.
Banks have been known to publish BASEL III regulatory capital requirement reports annually, but those tend to be rehash of select 10Q reports and are not acceptable for determining earnings price action.
In the DFAST or CCAR report, each bank is given a hypothetical leverage, amount of capital preserved during period of severe drawdown on assets, and % drawdown on assets. Regardless of the amount of capital preserved, if the hypothetical leverage decreases while the % drawdown on assets increases, the bank's stock price will tumble post earnings.
​
Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW)
Schwab_DFAST_Public_Disclosures_2022.pdf
Anticipated leverage from Q4 2021 to Q1 2024: 6.23% to 5.48%
Anticipated true leverage from Q4 2021 to Q1 2024: 15 to 18
Anticipated assets drawdown from Q4 2021 to Q1 2024: 3.36% to 4.13%
*Stock will dump post earnings.
​
​

Key Take Aways

1. Each bank performs several rounds of midcycle statistical analysis corroborated by the Federal Reserve on how well its portfolio will perform against financial markets during prolong periods of shrinking on the economy.
2. The TLDR, also known as the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, is also known as the bank's ratio of debt to assets.
3. Due to an accounting quirk, a bank considers things like loans and interest assets (in addition to stock and fixed income securities), while guaranteed customer deposits are considered debt.
4. The true leverage a bank has is 1/TLDR
5. Based on experiences trading currency futures (forex), cryptocurrency futures, and stock index futures, many understand that when a portfolio's true leverage increases, it increases potential returns. Risk however also increases.
6. The drawdown percentage is also known as a decline in value of assets held in a bank's portfolio.
7. A bank will have tell you what period the report is good for. It will have the anticipated change in leverage and change in assets drawdown.
8. You can find a bank's dfast report by googling '[bank name] [year] midcycle dfast report'

​
How to Apply This To Earnings

1. A bank will experience solid earnings price action if anticipated leverage increases and drawdown % decreases throughout the period that the dfast report is guiding.
2. A bank will experience muted earnings if anticipated leverage increases slightly and drawdown % decreases slightly.
3. A bank will also experience muted earnings if outdated dfast report is promptly addressed with brief, timely update.
4. A bank will forfeit any earnings gains and experience downward price action if the anticipated leverage increases and drawdown significantly increases.
5. A bank will also forfeit any earnings gains and experience downward price action if it refuses to publicly update on most recent dfast results.

​
How to benefit from this through options

1. Category 4 banks will finalize all earnings price action premarket on the day after earnings are released. It is best to place bets on the stock before the earnings release.

Category 4 banks include Ally Financial, American Express, BMO Financial, BNP Paribas USA, Citizens Financial Group, Inc, Discover Financial Services, Fifth Third Bancorp, HSBC North America Holdings Inc, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated, KeyCorp Inc, M&T Bank Corporation, MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation, RBC US Group Holdings LLC, Regions Financial Corporation, and Santander Bank.
2) Category 3 banks will finalize all earnings price action during market open. It is best to place bets on the stock after earnings release.
Category 3 banks include Barclays US LLC, Capital One Financial Corporation, The Charles Schwab Corporation, Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc, Deuschle Bank USA, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc, TD Group US Holdings LLC, Truist Financial Corporation, UBS Americas Holding LLC, and U.S. Bancorp
3) Category 1 banks will finalize all earnings price action during noon. The stock may be trading higher from good earnings only to suddenly reverse in the middle of the day. Getting in and out of put contracts midday requires critical timing.
Category 1 banks include Bank of America Corporation, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Citigroup Inc, The Goldman Sachs Group, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, State Street, and Wells Fargo.

Happy Thursday, Barkada --

The PSE lost 47 points to 6242 ▼0.8%

Thank you to FinanceForever and tanitsuj for implying that my "fictional family", from yesterday's write-up about the PSE's weird rules for IPOs by way of introduction, was actually autobiographical. I'll say this: while I can chug syrup, that skill was not learned at the family dinner table. Read into that what you will. Haha.

▌Main stories covered:

• [Q3] Jollibee rides record Q3 sales to deliver massive Q3 profit... Jollibee [JFC 233.00 ▲1.92%] [link] delivered a Q3 profit of ₱2.3 billion, up 70% from its Q3/21 profit of ₱1.3 billion, driven by ₱77.7 billion in Q3 system-wide sales (a JFC record). 9M profit was at ₱7.2 billion, up 168% y/y from ₱2.7 billion, JFC said that its strong Q3 and 9M performances are due to a variety of factors working together, but the largest being the easing of movement restrictions in the Philippines. This allowed PH-based JFC stores to experience a 48.5% same-store sales growth in Q3 y/y, which pulled JFC’s total worldwide same-store sales growth up to 30.9%. Other factors that contributed to the success were the price increases that JFC imposed in Q4/21, continued global expansion, new acquisitions (like Milksha), and beneficial forex conversions for income earned overseas. JFC said that it increased its total worldwide store count by 6% to 6,351 in the first 9M of 2022. The only concerning statistic came out of China, where JFC same-store sales were down 4.6% y/y due to the reimposition of movement restrictions meant to slow the spread of COVID-19.
  
  • MB: The bee has been busy. Remember the days when JFC would need to extract the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) acquisition from its financials? Not anymore. CBTL, along with Highlands and Milksha, account for 30% of JFC’s store network and 15% of its total system-wide sales. CBTL was even a stabilizing force through the punishing and confusing lockdowns that we went through that kept earnings from PH-based locations suppressed. Now, the patience that JFC has been pleading for is paying off. The thing I’m most curious about, though, is how JFC’s business has changed since COVID. Did the industry flip to 20% dine-in and 80% dine-out as McDonalds’ and JFC had predicted back in 2020, or are we getting back to something that looks more like the glory days of stuffing as many people as possible into each location? There was so much talk a couple years ago about how the quick-service industry would need to change to survive the “new normal” (cloud kitchens, 3rd party delivery apps, dine-out dominance), but are these recovery numbers coming from the old way of doing business, the new way, or a blend of the two? I’d love to see some segmented analysis.
• [NEWS] LFM Properties IPO was absolute insanity... The Liberty Mills Flour [LFM 17.78 ▼1.22%] spin-off, LFM Properties [LPC 0.205 ▲91.6%], opened for trading yesterday morning with the first trades coming through at ₱0.398/share. That’s already a 272% increase over the valuation and fairness opinion price that LPC received from KPMG of ₱0.107/share. Six minutes later, by 9:36, the price had jumped up over 600% from that opinion price to ₱0.75/share with a little over half a million shares trading hands around this price. At that price, LPC had a marketcap of ₱18.75 billion. Keep in mind, LPC’s marketcap coming into the day was just ₱2.67 billion, and the marketcap of its parent company, LFM, which owns 58.6% of LPC, was just ₱2.7 billion. LPC was now (technically) worth 6.9 times its parent company. Nice and normal. By 9:39, the price had dropped all the way back to ₱0.39/share, which is a 48% drop over three minutes, but still a 270% gain relative to that opinion price. By 9:54, the price was down to ₱0.30/share, which was down 60% from that early peak, but still up 180% on the day. At 10:00, the price reached ₱0.20/share (up 87%). It bounced back up to ₱0.25/share (+133%) just before lunch, but kind of faded through the day back down to ₱0.205 where it closed, down 73% from the 9:39 AM peak, but up 91.6% on the day.
  
  • MB: As predicted, this IPO was a joke, just like the last listing by way of introduction. The PSE says that it removes the daily price increase and decrease thresholds in order to allow “market forces to determine the price of the securities.” Those thresholds would have capped LPC’s potential gains on the day at 50%, just like every other stock, and even every other IPO. What, exactly, did market forces “discover” about LPC’s price? Well, all we know so far is that it’s probably not ₱0.75/share. Sweet. What else did the market forces tell us, though? For one thing, they told us that the regular price thresholds, while imperfect, actually perform a very useful function; the 50% gain cap prevents FOMO from infecting investors and discourages euphoric speculation and obvious price bubbles. This is the kind of trading that I associate with shitcoins on dank crypto exchanges with no fixed address and website text that looks like it was written with a heavy reliance on Google Translate. This is the kind of trading that reeks of bored equity traders just trying to have some fun on the side. I think that there’s a time and place for that kind of fun, but why the PSE thinks that it’s a good idea to encourage price bubbles that leave hundreds or thousands of investors hopelessly underwater is beyond me. Why not slap those caps on this kind of listing? If it’s ok for “market forces” to determine the price of every other thing on the PSE within that -30% to +50% band, even other IPOs, then why couldn’t it work for this type of listing in the same way? The PSE: “Just drink your syrup.”
• [NEWS] RL Commercial REIT declares stable dividend... RL Commercial REIT [RCR 5.09 ▲0.79%] [link] declared a Q3/22 dividend of ₱0.0974, payable on November 29 to shareholders of record as of November 22. The dividend has an annualized yield of 7.65% based on the previous closing price, which is 0.21% larger than Q3's pre-dividend annualized yield of 7.64%. Relative to RCR's IPO price, the dividend increased RCR's total stock and dividend return to -14.18%, up from its pre-dividend total return of -15.69%. This is RCR’s 4th consecutive quarter of dividend growth.
  
  • MB: A stable return from the Gokongwei Family’s commercial leasing REIT. While RCR IPO buyers have never known what it feels like to receive anything other than a larger dividend than what has come before, it’s clear that the rate of that growth is not what it used to be. The first jump was 48%, the second jump was 4.8%, the third jump was 0.7%, and this most recent increase was just 0.2%. Hey, don’t get me wrong: growth is growth. I’d rather own RCR than a REIT that suddenly halves its dividend without justification or reason. The Gokongwei Family is steady and stable in the REIT game.
• [NEWS] Citicore Energy REIT Q3 dividend keeps pace... Citicore Energy REIT [CREIT 2.09 ▼0.95%] [link] declared a Q3/22 dividend of ₱0.044, payable on January 5 to shareholders of record as of December 9. The dividend has an annualized yield of 8.42% based on the previous closing price, which is in-line with the annualized yield CREIT had prior to the declaration. Relative to CREIT's IPO price, the dividend increased CREIT's total stock and dividend return to -11.49%, up from its pre-dividend total return of -13.22%.
  
  • MB: I’ve been talking for months about how, compared to its other REIT siblings, CREIT is completely insulated from the vulgar ups and downs of the Metro Manila commercial lease market. Will the administration outlaw POGOs? CREIT doesn’t care. Will work-from-home laws change, and how will this impact the demand for office space? Again, CREIT doesn’t care. All of its income comes from leasing land to solar power plants, on long-term leases. The only variable for CREIT is in the size of the special dividend at the end of the year that gives investors a little upside in the form of a small slice of the actual electricity sale profits. None of the commercial REITs provide any kind of profit-sharing mechanism. I’m not saying that CREIT is the superior investment; there are many reasons why you might select another REIT for the long-term, depending on the assumptions that you’ve made about Metro Manila’s growth and the projected growth of the leasing market going forward. I’m just trying to draw out some of the interesting differences between CREIT and the rest of the market that give fixed-income investors another angle to work with.
