China Unveils "Super Surveillance Camera" That Can Link To Its Social Credit System

Device can identify individual faces out of crowds of tens of thousands.

A new camera with a resolution five times more detailed than the human eye, able to monitor thousands of people in real time and identify individual faces has been unveiled by Chinese scientists, prompting renewed fears about mass surveillance.

ABC News in Australia reports that the new 500 megapixel cloud camera AI system, dubbed a ‘super camera’, was revealed at China’s International Industry Fair last week.

The camera system, equipped with state of the art facial recognition utilities, was designed by Fudan University and Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The designers claim that the system can detect and identify thousands of human faces or other objects in real time and instantly locate specific targets in environments such as crowded stadiums.

Of course, it would work equally as well at protests.

NIFTY PE ratio

- the sudden spike is due to markets rally 8% in 2 days with no change in EPS
- and the fall is due to the "sudden" increase in EPS
- only explanation I can think for this is reduction of corporate tax is being factored in

Market outlook + Nirmala Sitharaman candle formed

Daily charts:
- trend is up on daily charts (wef today)
- today markets closed 5.3% in positive at 11274
- AD was 13:5

- today was biggest green candle in past 4-5 years
- I call this the Nirmala Sitharaman candle (history was made)
- as it came on back of heavy reforms
- these reforms were actually like a budget except that
- it was more bolder than what was presented in the past
- wish this was done before

- the size of the candle and location means 10600 may hold this year
- resistance around 11600 levels

- today a lot of people lost money by taking wrong positions or
- not having any risk management
- sometimes you may miss a move... this is ok
- but do not ever get caught on the wrong side

Was there any hint of trend reversal?
- yes... number of stocks making new 52 week lows had dropped dramatically
- a lot of buy signals were coming in delivery trades which we took
- but in nifty unless some swing high is crossed, you cannot trade long
- it is then sheer bad luck that a market gains 5% in a day and then crosses swing high
- so the key takeaway is you cannot capture every single move
- yet to meet a person who has been able to do this consistently (trollers please note)

This candle will henceforth be known as the Nirmala Sitharaman candle

FM unveils $20b tax booster for India Inc; D-Street sees biggest rally in a decade

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday delivered a major tax bonanza to domestic businesses and manufacturing firms, lowering corporate tax rates to one of the lowest levels in Southeast Asia and allowing new manufacturers to avail minimum corporate tax at 15 per cent.

Sitharaman said the revenue foregone on reduction in corporate tax and other relief measures will be Rs 1.45 lakh crore annually, which means a $20 billion booster to an economy that g ..

Factory investment at 3-year low of Rs 3.31 lakh cr in 2017-18: Survey

Factory investment in 2017-18 hit a three-year low of Rs 3.31 lakh crore in actual terms, according to the annual survey of industries by the Statistics and Programme Implementation Ministry. Factory investment measured in terms of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) was Rs 3.79 lakh crore and Rs 3.69 lakh crore in 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively, provisional estimates of the survey for 2017-18 showed.

The previous low of GFCF in actual terms was recorded at Rs 3.23 lakh crore in 2014-15.

The Gross Fixed Capital Formation is a barometer of investment in any sector or segment.

The few immutable truths of finance – the stuff no one argues about by Morgan Housel

The few immutable truths of finance – the stuff no one argues about because there are right answers – are what matter most. But we hear about them the least, specifically because no one argues about them.

Spend most of your time contextualizing those truths within your own goals, needs and experiences, realizing that it’s OK if others disagree with your views and you disagree with theirs.

When you watch, listen, and read about other people’s views, the most important takeaways are insights into how people deal with risk and uncertainty, because those are the broad lessons that are likely to apply to the greatest number of people, including yourself.

Learning from others is a huge part of investing – every mistake has already been made and you can add years to your life learning from them vicariously. But most investment debates can and should be replaced by acknowledging that reasonable people can disagree because we’re all different and driven by things that are hard to quantify. The fun part of behavioral finance is learning about how flawed other people can be. The hard part is trying to figure out how flawed you are, and what makes sense to you but would seem crazy to others.

Was the Saudi Arabia drone attack a black swan event?

The black swan theory is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. The term is based on an ancient saying that presumed black swans did not exist – a saying that became reinterpreted to teach a different lesson after black swans were discovered in the wild. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory

The theory was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain:

• The disproportionate role of high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance, and technology.
• The non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to the very nature of small probabilities).
• The psychological biases that blind people, both individually and collectively, to uncertainty and to a rare event's massive role in historical affairs.

The 2019 Abqaiq–Khurais attack was a drone attack that targeted the Saudi Aramco oil production facilities at Abqaiq and Khurais in eastern Saudi Arabia on 14 September 2019.

The attack caused large fires at the factories which, according to the Saudi Arabian interior ministry, were put out several hours later. Both facilities, however, were shut down until repairs were made, cutting Saudi Arabia's oil production by about half – representing about 5% of global oil production – and causing some destabilization of global financial markets.

Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Abqaiq%E2%80%93Khurais_attack

According to me, this is a black swan event:

• The event was unpredictable (to the observer)
• The event has widespread ramifications
• After the event has occurred, people will assert that it was indeed explainable and predictable

"Math Didn't Help Einstein Discover Gravity": Piyush Goyal On Economy

Days after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman attributed the slowdown in the auto sector to millennials using Ola and Uber, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has said that we should not be concerned with GDP maths, since “maths never helped Einstein discover gravity”.

“Don’t go by all these calculations you see on TV, that if the country has to become a $5 trillion economy, it will have to grow at 12% but right now it is currently growing at 6-7%,” Mr. Goyal said. “Don’t get into those maths. Those maths have never helped Einstein discover gravity.”

A Millennial’s (Guilt-Ridden) Response to Nirmala Sitharaman

It has come to my attention that you hold the generation of millennials, of which I am part, responsible for the decline in the auto sector. 

You said, “Some studies do tell us that the mindset of millennials, who are now preferring not to commit an EMI for buying an automobile, instead prefer to take Ola, Uber, everything else, or take the metro.”

Mea culpa. I agree with your description of our mindset – I have no intention of buying a car. But that is because I simply can’t afford it. As you say, I’m disinclined to commit to an EMI – perhaps a sign of the commitment phobia my generation has also been accused of, given that we now also marry less, don’t buy homes, and aren’t having children.

What do we like? Netflix, waffling on the internet, and we seem to be absolutely bonkers about make-up. But when we’re swapping swatches, you, as someone who is far more sérieux and important, would probably be more concerned with the lipstick index, the fun little economic theory which suggests that people buy more lipstick when the market is tanking.

What’s your favourite shade, Ms. Sitharaman?

Currently, the lipstick index shows an economy in the red.

You see, I am not alone, Ms. Sitharaman –

Indian economy problems solved by FM... need a new FM

NOTE: Ola/ Uber have been there for many ears and there was no problem. Next, the FM will blame real estate slowdown because people want to rent and not buy.

Best solution: new FM required who understands what is happening.

Hint: we need new roads but govt has no money for this. So how do you resolve this?

Evolution of a trader

I am not anti Modi or pro Modi

Is the government clueless?

Did you discuss the 2024 GDP target of $5 trillion with states? How you expect the states to double or triple their GDP? Any magic formula?

You announce the target while remaining clueless as to how the country would be able to achieve it. https://t.co/gJqLkHldqo

One business, One nation, One bank account and now One masala dosa

...So he explained further, “Saar, There is lot of tax evasion happening in GST where multiple bank accounts are used. So the government has passed a law which says, One business, One nation, One bank account. The food ministry however objected to the law and pointed out that this does not solve the poverty problem because there are a lot of people who order and waste food and wasting food is the same as evading tax. So the GST department passed an order, which said, since our tax rate is only 5%, we should also restrict food sales to one item per person per day. That is why we can’t give you more than one masala dosa per day”.

I persisted because I was hungry. And then Mr. Sadasivam said even more strange things, “Saar, I can’t give you a masala dosa, but I can give you any other item, but only once. So you can eat idli, set dosa, rava pongal etc. That is possible because we have one nation, one tax, one bank account, one masala dosa, one set dosa, one pav bhaji”.

Complete waste of tax payers money

The Govt has infused Rs 2.5 lakh crores in PSU banks (excluding SBI) between FY 2016 to 2019 ( excluding Rs 70000 cr proposed this year ) and current Market Value is Rs 2.3 lakh crores!!!
What a waste of incredible talent and assets.

Economy in crisis: Housing giant HDIL sinks, insolvency proceeding begins

In what is seen as a sign of impending economic crisis, the Mumbai based housing giant, Housing Development and Infrastructure Ltd (HDIL) has gone insolvent.

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has ordered insolvency proceeding against the company, following which, the HDIL has appointed Abhay Narayan Manudhane as the interim resolution professional (IRP) to run the insolvency process on Friday.

In a regulatory filing, HDIL has stated that the IRP has been appointed to carry out the functions as mentioned under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

Earlier this month, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had admitted an application filed by Bank of India to initiate insolvency proceedings against debt-ridden realty firm HDIL.

The Talent Myth: Are smart people overrated?

This "talent mind-set" is the new orthodoxy of American management. It is the intellectual justification for why such a high premium is placed on degrees from first-tier business schools, and why the compensation packages for top executives have become so lavish.

In the modern corporation, the system is considered only as strong as its stars, and, in the past few years, this message has been preached by consultants and management gurus all over the world. None, however, have spread the word quite so ardently as McKinsey, and, of all its clients, one firm took the talent mind-set closest to heart. It was a company where McKinsey conducted twenty separate projects, where McKinsey's billings topped ten million dollars a year, where a McKinsey director regularly attended board meetings, and where the C.E.O. himself was a former McKinsey partner.

The company, of course, was Enron.

The Enron scandal is now almost a year old. The reputations of Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay, the company's two top executives, have been destroyed. Arthur Andersen, Enron's auditor, has been driven out of business, and now investigators have turned their attention to Enron's investment bankers. The one Enron partner that has escaped largely unscathed is McKinsey, which is odd, given that it essentially created the blueprint for the Enron culture. Enron was the ultimate "talent" company.

How to trade breakouts and pullbacks

No matter how many entry techniques you learn, there are only 2 ways to enter a trade.

On a pullback. On a breakout. And that’s it.

But many of you struggle with this concept.

• Should I wait for confirmation, or not?

Don’t worry.

Because in this post, I’ll teach you the essentials of trading pullbacks and breakouts.

You’ll learn stuff like:

• The 5 levels the market will likely retrace to (so you can “predict” market turning points)
• How to find high probability pullback trades
• How to spot explosive breakout trades before it occurs

Top Strategies for Mastering Pullback Trading

Pullbacks, in terms of technical analysis, generate all sorts of trading opportunities after an active trend thrusts higher or lower, but profiting with this classic strategy is harder than it looks. For starters, the security you just bought on the dips or sold short into resistance can keep on going, forcing your position into a sizable loss, or it can just sit there gathering dust while you miss out on a dozen other trades. So what skills are needed to book reliable profits with pullback strategies, how aggressively should those profits be taken and how do you admit you are wrong without breaking the bank? In this article, we will consider some historical examples to illustrate these concepts.

Pullbacks

Let’s outline the most favorable technical conditions for a pullback to turn on a dime as soon as you take a risk in the opposite direction. First, you need a strong trend so that other pullback players will be lined up right behind you, ready to jump in and turn your idea into a reliable profit. Securities lifting to new highs or dumping to new lows fulfill this requirement after they push well beyond a notable breakout or breakdown level. Vertical action into a peak or trough is also needed for consistent profits, especially on higher-than-normal volume, because it encourages rapid price movement after you get positioned. It is also best when the trending security turns quickly after topping or bottoming out, without building a sizable consolidation or trading range. This is needed because the intervening range will undermine the profit potential during the subsequent bounce or rollover .

Trading breakouts and breakout pullbacks

Every time when the market breaks out through a certain resistance or support level, there will be a pullback sooner or later. If the price returns to a few pips of the entry point and tests it, this is called a breakout test. The test can happen as soon as the next bar after the breakout, more than 10 bars later, or there can even be several tests of that level.

Breakout tests are important because they provide traders with a relatively reliable entry signal when the test is successful and the trend resumes (a breakout pullback is confirmed).

Basically, when the price breaks out of a trading range, but fails to retain its momentum and later reenters the trading range, it’s called a false breakout (failed breakout, or fakeout). If, however, there is a pullback to the breakout (the price halts around the breakout point, instead of entering
