The Bank of Japan cracks meaning the Widowmaker springs to life
The Bank of Japan cracks meaning the Widowmaker springs to life
This morning has brought some pretty significant economic news out of Nihon or Japan. It started in an area I mentioned in a reply to yesterday’s comments because bond yields had pushed higher making me suspicious. Overnight if we stay with that theme we saw this. JAPAN BOND FUTURES TRADING HALTED: OSAKA EXCHANGE That takes me back to my days out in Tokyo, but in the modern era that did not…

A very similar post could be made about maths education.
I feel like people can be overly harsh on it. People that struggle with it and find it boring go on to depict it as boring and abstract in media, which sort of primes the next generation to see it that way. But at the same time, we could be doing a lot more to help people connect the theorems and logical techniques they're learning to real life.
We use those techniques to work out the dimensions of (and materials needed for) a wall we're painting or garment we're sewing or the parts of a furniture piece so they can fit together. We use them to work out how much money we'd get through interest over X years if we save Y per month and can use that to compare the outcomes of different financial decisions. We use them to critique whatever new scientific study journalists are hyping up beyond its original conclusions. We use them in philosophy to check whether our arguments are genuinely airtight.
As a biology student it especially pains me how people are failed wrt statistics and the scientific method. Everyone should be taught things like what variance is, and what makes results statistically significant, and the effect of small sample sizes on the conclusions we can draw from results, and better societal understanding of those things (plus general principles of good experiment design)
And as someone who wants to not starve in the future, on top of the importance of teaching people maths so they can make proper financial decisions I feel like we should be taught more about investing. Actual long-term investment strategies that most people should follow to grow savings over decades, not YOLOing everything into Tesla.
When you understand that kids and teenagers being salty about literary symbolic analysis comes from a very real place of annoyance and frustration at some teachers for being over-bearing and pretentious in their projecting of symbolism onto every facet of a story but you also understand that literary analysis and critical thinking in regards to symbolism is extremely important and deserves to be not only taught in schools, but actively used by writers when examining their own work to see if they might have used symbolism unintentionally and to make sure that they are using symbolism effectively:
#i saw that poll that was like 'would you take [huge amount] now or £1000 installments for life' and the way most people went for the latter#and op overly justified the latter kinda got to me#but i didn't want to start an argument when i'm not even a finance expert lol#but still- interest is a thing. those £1000 paychecks will be less and less in real terms unless it increases with inflation#and if you took everything up front and invested it in something with dividends you get regular payments anyway! on top of that!#an individual company could tank and lose you everything but that's where index funds and other methods of diversifying investments come in#as long as you have enough savings outside of that to endure economic crises (which you would in this scenario unless you were dumb with it#they've always turned into temporary blips before things return to the previous trajectory in the long run#unless capitalism as a whole collapses and stays down in which case we likely have much more pressing issues than our savings accounts

I got in a discussion the other day about investing, because someone wanted to know why I had no investments and wouldn't stop till I answered them. I told them I cared about ethics, and they were like, "Well then you'll never be able to invest in anything!! And you'll be poor forever!!"
Is ethical investment (not just investing in greenwashed companies) possible, at all? or should i resign myself to 'being poor forever'?
This is SUCH a fascinating discussion. Which is why we covered it on an episode of our podcast! You can listen or read the transcript here:
Season 4, Episode 1: “Index Funds Include Unethical Companies. Can I Still Invest in Them, or Does That Make Me a Monster?”
It's a nuanced topic, which is why I'm not going to try to condense it into a short answer for Tumblr.

Government Reinstates Indexation Benefit for Property Sales After Backlash
In response to widespread criticism, the government has reversed its decision to eliminate indexation benefits on long-term capital gains (LTCG) from property sales. As of Tuesday, taxpayers will have the option to choose between two tax regimes for properties acquired before July 23, 2024.
What’s Changed?
Under the updated rules, property owners can now select between:
20% LTCG Tax with Indexation: This allows for adjusting the purchase price of an asset for inflation, thus reducing taxable capital gains.
12.5% LTCG Tax Without Indexation: This option offers a lower tax rate but does not account for inflation adjustments.
Taxpayers can choose the option that results in the lower tax liability.
Why the Change?
The initial proposal to remove indexation benefits while offering a lower tax rate of 12.5% led to significant backlash from real estate investors and property owners. Critics argued that without indexation, long-term gains would be overstated, resulting in higher tax liabilities for properties held over extended periods. The backlash led to calls for a more balanced approach, which the government has now addressed by allowing a choice between the old and new tax regimes.
Key Details
Grandfathering Provision: Properties purchased before July 23, 2024, are grandfathered under the old tax regime with indexation benefits. For properties acquired after this date, only the new 12.5% tax rate without indexation will apply.
Scope of Indexation: The reinstated indexation benefit applies only to immovable property and not to other unlisted assets like gold. For unlisted securities or shares, different tax rates apply based on the acquisition date.
Additional Amendments
The government also made amendments to the Finance Bill, including:
Redefinition of Undisclosed Income: The definition now includes incorrect claims of exemption within its scope for block assessments.
Rollover Benefits: These remain unchanged, meaning that investments in Section 54EC bonds or residential real estate can still benefit from LTCG exemptions.
Industry Reactions
Despite the rollback, concerns remain about the impact of the new regime. Industry watchers worry that the lack of indexation might lead to more frequent secondary market real estate sales and potentially incentivize underreporting of transaction values. However, the government maintains that the new tax regime, even without indexation, will benefit most taxpayers due to the generally high returns on real estate compared to inflation.
