Risk and Assets


 §1. Value of any assets is determined by discounting using appropriate rate which represents the expected rate of return.

§2. Expected rate of return is risk adjusted  

§3. Using CAPM model though front is Sensitivity of specific return to market return, sensitivity is w.r.t standard deviation. Proportionate change in risk of specific asset w.r.t. market risk. 

§4. However, can we just say that total risk calculated by the market assess every bit of information about all constituent risk of total risk? For eg. what about HR policy of the company and its implementation? Human Resources can be very volatile, but will/can stock market evaluate HR policy and its implementation? 

§5. We can say broadly that internal risk of any company ( for publicly traded assets ) can not be taken into consideration by the market. Yet, these risks very much affect the actual value of the asset. 

§6. Strategic as well as operational, reporting and compliance risks are constituent risk of total risk which need to be considered while assessing value of any asset.  

§7. Value of asset is very much volatile due to dynamism of the demand and supply of various factors and continuous changing utility of any given human being and group of human beings. Nobody can accurately say exactly what is the exact point of risk at any given point of time.

§8. However, material risk concept can be very useful. For the decision maker some reference range may be calculated and that range or point should be made as one unit and loss of that unit will be one risk point. % is not used as by increasing risk point behavior of the decision maker may not be as constant as when they are at one risk point. 

§9. Risk appetite has been used for defining this broad range of risk that within risk capacity any venture will be desirous to take, which may itself change by factors as mentioned above (internal as well as external dynamism).

§10. Hence, in this initial stage of developing risk framework for any venture, I am going into loop of this past and future of risk factors, their dynamism and complexity as every factors can affect every other factors. Both space (by magnitude )and time (decision making dimension and time value of money) of these factors are not walking but stuck in some constant loop, which seem motion but there is no acceleration.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Averaging practice in stock market and Liquidity problem in Banking

Investors in equity market (secondary) are quite familiar with averaging practice of prices. When a stock of higher cost was already purchased but the prices drop down, then purchasing stocks at lower prices (must be probable to gain some increment in those latest prices) will average the per unit cost and given increment in latest prices but lower than previous prices till make loss over previously purchased stock lesser loss making. Now, thinking the institutional capacity of banks and financial institutions and production and distribution capacity of national economy, given flood of remittance, there must be a lag in mobilization of funds through banks. Thereby keeping interest rate at lower side till national economy's capacity to produce and distribute gets increased. However, let's imagine a scenario where funds are ever demanded and loans are distributed at higher cost. Deposit rates are increased in the name of liquidity problem or liquidity premium is so high that retu...

Usha

I bow down to mother Vindhyabasini/Brindabasini/Bindubasini whose grace and affection alone uplift unbearable pain of this life/ignorance. Nobody but Guru Gorakhnath is my Guru but am not that fortunate to get knowledge from himself. Neither read anything written by him.  During the discussion with few wise men it suddenly occurred or reiterate the already obtained knowledge of unreal nature of thoughts. However, this just helped to connect Usha with Savitur and once again ignite enthusiasm to write meaning of Gayatri Mantra. First line is dedicated to three kind of Jagat or realities excluding Om (which is not a wise thing to do but Om itself contains 3 Jagat and one last supreme reality so it is waste to discuss other line after explaining Om). First one is almost 16 hours a day i.e. waking state where we gather all information and act upon them. Second is dream state which is in its concrete form is 8 hours a day, unknown processing of information gathered during waking state. 3...
