World economy talk

Parang Pilipinas, sobrang mahal ng kuryente sa atin, kaya talo tayo sa competitiveness compared sa mga ASEAN neighbors natin

Siguro to combat that kailangan buhayin ulit ang Bataan Nuclear Plant. Para more foreign investments dito na magtayo ng planta.

Kaya ang daming car factories sa Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand at Vietnam. Unlike here satin kakaunti lang.

Have you seen the product range of Xiaomi? Where will you put that?

Doesn't feel cheap, doesn't look low quality. No idea how fast they are being produced, but if you look at their items in Shopee and Lazada, it looks like it's flooded with Xiaomi products.

Based on a few xiaomi products that I have tried, there is still a lot to be desired with their quality.

Wifi extender for fiber broadband - inconsistent speed

Vacuum cleaner - damage UV light in less than a year

Smart weighing scale - dropped bluetooth connectivity

Opposite sa akin. Started using Xiaomi products since lockdown (panay shopee kasi )

Several units of air purifier/filters, operating 24/7, all still working.
Several different types of mobile chargers, ok pa din lahat
IP cameras, ok pa din lahat, bwisit lang meron pala region setting, kaya hindi ko magamit ilang units.

I have not tried all their products so Im sure may good quality din. Just like the japanese and US brands na may quality issues rin (cough, cough, ford).

The concept I shared above is what I have experienced with western manufacturing set ups that spend more on R&D, kaya the better the quality and functionality, the expensive it gets.

There was a speech by Biden before, that China have already surpassed the US in R&D expenditures.

China R&D expenditures = Industrial Espionage and Intellectual Property Theft ... they go as far as stealing corn seeds from US ...

Based on key indicators of innovation and advanced-industry performance, China has surpassed the United States in total innovation output and is getting close on a proportional basis. To regain its leadership, the United States must respond more strategically and forcefully.

first it was Silvergate Bank (a small california bank that's crypto-friendly)

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Silvergate Plans to Wind Down Bank Operations and Liquidate

then here comes Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) -- a fairly large bank, favorite bank of SV startups and venture capital firms

SVB said they need to raise capital

uh oh

US bank stocks

R&D ng China = Research & Duplicate

Research = Stealing ...

Silicon Valley Bank is dead

many startups have billions in deposits in SVB

insurance only $250K

Bitcoin in freefall...



Crypto industry in turmoil... when playing digital assets.

Dahil sa taas ng interest rates

[uls]

Dahil sa taas ng interest rates

yes coz they parked a lot of money in bonds (mortgage-backed securities, treasuries)

as interest rates rise, bond prices fall

when they needed liquidity they sold some bonds at a loss (not good)

so they decided to raise money

they announced they'll sell new shares

this was 2 days ago:



problem is the market perceived it as "why do you need to raise money? are you in trouble?"

(Silvergate bank just shut down, the market was jittery)

so people started withdrawing their money

the perception that the bank was in trouble became reality
