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 return from depositing is above equity returns. Given the lack of national economy's capacity to utilize the fund, lower production and import, lower consumption etc. still liquidity problem with continuous remittance flow suggest one probable scenario of averaging out practice that old loans are no more revenue generating and fresh loans will be able to circulate positive profit and average out the profit scenario. Liquidity problem is BS problem and not the PL problem, short sighted management may only think of PL management and ignore the BS management. Given lending freshly for averaging problem from revenue of poor assets of past in a fashion similar to stock price averaging for loss minimization. Given the ability of BFIs to throw poor asset like in stock market (in xyz country and surely not in Nepal) then it would have been easier however BFIs accumulate these problems in their BS and some management may go off the book by retirement or by termination of their performance Contract after averaging profit and distributing fresh profit. 
This averaging practice shows perfect PL however, given poor BS, performing BS works as if BFIs just started to lend and it requires more and more money however, Deposit is of cumulative nature. This gross mismatch of behavior of Asset and Liability side of (I am not talking about term mismatch rather how they behave in reality)BS may cause the liquidity problem. PL is nothing but movement of BS's Assets and poor Asset management will never be solved by averaging of profit. But in long term can cause liquidity problem in XYZ country (of course not in Nepal).

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...

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...
