Recently, the Fed has sterilized its tapering in the last few weeks, which in addition to the Treasury’s large liquidity injection into the credit system has driven the rally in risk assets. The Fed credits member banks’ Fed accounts with money, and in return, banks sell the Fed US Treasuries and/or US Mortgage-Backed Securities. This is how the Fed “prints” money to juice the financial system. In effect, the money multiplier for RRP balances at the NY Fed is 0x, vs a non-zero multiple when deposited with any other financial intermediary.

India has doubtless achieved a seminal milestone by surpassing its erstwhile colonial master, the UK to become the 5th largest economy in the world. But the constant tom tomming of the nation's arrival on the world stage as a global colossus is misplaced and shows us in a very poor light. With a per capita income of $2848, India ranks a poor 143rd out of 195 countries. India also fares quite poorly on the Global World Hunger Index at 111 out of 125 countries.

Why I quit my Medium membership
00:14:15
This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-i-quit-my-medium-membership-909909657ba.
I’m a Medium member based in India. This morning, I realized the credit card linked to my Medium account is due to expire. So I go to the settings page in my Medium account to check if I can update my card details. I find the button saying ‘Use a new card’ but also notice another button that says ‘View billing history.’ Out of curiosity, I click on it, and am presented with a long list of $5 monthly payments starting from March 24, 2017. Two years, or 25 months to be precise. Which add up to $125 (₹8,645) in membership fees, as of today. That makes me pause, and take stock of what I’m getting for my $125.

Card payments are widely accepted and secure, offering convenience and consumer protection. Open banking payments facilitate direct bank-to-bank transactions, real-time transfers, and data access with strong customer authentication. The choice between these methods depends on regulatory compliance, customer preferences, merchant acceptance, security requirements, costs, innovation, user experience, risk management, competition, scalability, partnerships, and user education. The future of payments likely involves a coexistence of both methods, adapting to market dynamics and user expectations.

Revenue multiples are valuation metrics based on company revenue. This works best for startups because revenue is the only stable value compared to all other factors. These multiples provide an opportunity to bypass complicated company valuation calculations based on earnings and cash flows. Early-stage companies are just starting their business process, and it is difficult to account for all components of EBITDA. This gives a holistic picture of the current financial health of a startup. It is a reliable alternative to mainstream, popular valuation metrics that rely heavily on a company’s past financial records.

Volatility Modeling and Forecasting in Financial Markets
Options market pricing depends on the implied volatility and is priced based on how the volatility forecast would look like in the future. This story focuses primarily on predicting the volatility with time series models in S&P500 index based on historical data.
We use the S&P500 data from Yahoo finance for the years 2000-2022. Implied volatility is forecasted based on ARIMA and GARCH models to capture the volatility shocks and the lag. Several exogenous variables such as bond yields, trading volumes and SP500 returns were used to train the model. Directional accuracy of the implied volatility is tested in the time series model with ARIMA (1,1,1) regression along with macroeconomic exogenous variables.
A successful model was developed which predicted the directional change in VIX and if implemented would help us in pricing the options accurately.

Investing in digital currency is a way of earning money without leaving your house or even your bedroom. Yield farming is a financial strategy to earn interest from cryptocurrency. The primary benefit of this strategy is that it results in lower fees and higher interest returns.
