"#also can we talk about how lorenz is apparently looking for a bride and how#his dad hasn't arranged a wedding since he was 4 to a noble heiress or something?#the barbarians had that with Ingrid and Glenn" I was thinking how weird that is since the empire also does it (Ferd with Bern) but iirc there was that shadow text about someone from Daphnel being in an arranged marriage so I guess House Gloucester is a "the person chooses who to marry not the parents"? Then I thought about (1/2)

Greg's deal with Ludwig to marry their heirs was interesting on paper, but cancelled due to Bernie being, well, Bernie.

You can interpret kid!Emile meeting kid!Constance as Baron Bartels wanting to secure a wedding between his son and the elusive House Nuvelle's heir... but that's only conjecture.

But let's be serious a moment, doylist wise, we couldn't have too many arranged marriages, because the player is supposed to be able to ship whoever they want and even have Billy marry everyone - even the disembodied gremlin in their head :(

There was nothing taboo, or said to be taboo in Nopes, about Matthias snagging an Adrestian to Barbarian Land (tm), or House Gautier frowning because Lady Gautier 1 was an Adrestian - if she was a noble... it opens another can of worms, can you imagine Miklan being Caspar's cousin, if Lady Gautier 1 was, idk, a noble daughter from House Bergliez? Let say she was, Miklan couldn't inherit Gautier because no crust, but what about his stance/role/title in Bergliez? Could he just roll over Caspar's older bro (never named) if he had more muhrit or something like that, and become Leopold's heir - even if he's part Faerghan?

As you noticed, we had instances of arranged marriages with the shadow note about House Daphnel - are we really supposed to believe the traditional House Gloucester, who puts much emphasis on its lineage and what not, would have let Lorenz pick anyone (even if he has his own criteria!) while Erwin wouldn't have arranged anything at his birth??

Jugdral wise we could have some "doomed by inheritance" pairings in the second gen, where Patty would have to return to Jungby as its Duchess if her bro Faval inherits something else (or died),even if she married, say, Ced who's staying as the King of Silesse.

But for all of its supposed "Jugdral inspiration", Fodlan didn't go there, so we will never know what happens with international marriages and their potential consequences.

Fodlan HC : Ionius's great-grandmother (who was a concubine!) was a scion of House Blaiddyd so Gertrude, Supreme Leader's second oldest sister, popped up a minor crust of Blaiddyd at birth.

Of course tensions arose between Gertrude's mom and Ionius (because the relationships between Faerghus and Adrestia were soured since Lambert beat Ludwig during the Battle of the Eagle and the Lion during their year together at GM) and she was exiled. Gertrude was designed to be the first kid to be "experimented upon".

I've been thinking about discount rates recently so. (only if you'd like) open invitation to talk about anything related to debt, interest, time value of money, discount rates, etc. if you have thoughts or interesting tidbits or things most people don't know?? vague ask but!

Sigh where to even begin! Maybe swaps? I think most people don’t know a lot about swaps and I’ve had to deal with them lately. Interest rate swaps are used as a hedge against interest rate risk. So for example let’s say you want to invest in a variable rate product. But you’re worried about losing or losing out on money if/when rates go down. You could also purchase a pay variable receive fixed swap. So you may not be netting as much money right now but when rates go down, you’re still receiving the higher fixed rate from your swap. You wouldn’t buy a swap if you weren’t worried about rates but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s a tool that’s out there. There’s more into the weeds stuff about the parties involved but that’s the gist.

This illustrates the concept well imo. Ignore the years on the bottom not sure what that’s getting at. But! As a receiver of fixed, your profit is in the green zone when rates go down.

This example is for a swap only, not swap as a hedge in conjunction with another investment. But still helpful!

Completely unrelated fun fact but if someone dies and they have outstanding debt with a financial institution but no other coborrowers obliged on the debt and no collateral to liquidate (or the collateral value is < the debt) the bank just takes the L (for the debt amount or the difference between the debt and collateral value). So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!!! They are literally required to hold an Allowance for Credit Losses. It’s factored into the bank operations.

Indians are obsessed with gold! Be it any festival ranging from Raksha Bandhan to Diwali, a considerable population of Indians never miss an opportunity to buy gold.

Indians purchase almost 700–800 tonnes annually, and this craze seems to be never-ending.

As we all know, very little gold is produced in India, and most of it is imported. On the one hand, where we are focusing more on exporting in order to increase our Foreign Exchange Reserve, importing gold is causing pain to the government policy. This resulted in the introduction of Sovereign Gold Bonds in 2015, an alternative to traditional physical gold (also check out our previous post on different forms of gold investment in India).

Credit Event Coming??? Michael Douville

Global liquidity and money are in short supply. Liquidity is the fuel of the economy. Bank deposits are decreasing. Things are getting more difficult to get a loan.

Proverbs 27:12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. Proverbs 4:13 Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life. Are we entering another Credit Event? I remember Lehman Brothers and Bear Stears. These events start slow and gather speed until things start to cascade. Germany’s Deutsche Bank is in the news. Credit Default Swaps…

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.

US Fed Meeting Highlights

Interest Rate Cut: The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points to 4.5%, marking the second rate cut in 2024. 

Impact on Bond Yields: Despite the expected rate cut, a lack of guidance on future policy from Fed Chair Jerome Powell caused a sharp drop in US bond yields. The 10-year Treasury yield fell by 11 basis points to 4.33%, while 30-year Treasuries saw significant losses before slight recovery. 

Global Market Reactions:  a. Wall Street: Indices reached fresh record highs following the rate cut.  b. Indian Market: The Nifty 50 index stayed over 2,000 points below its record high of 26,277.35. 

Commodities:  a. Crude Oil: Prices fell, with Brent Crude down nearly 3% for the week. Trump’s presidency continues to weigh on oil, while markets consider potential stimulus from China.  b. Gold: Prices dropped as the US dollar strengthened after Trump’s re-election, impacting gold valuation. 

China's Influence: The conclusion of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee meeting today may provide important cues for global markets.
