@DougBannatyne @stone3Clare @doctor_dru_ @iDrSunny He has agreed to pay 120k for education, he pays 60k.
The other 60k is written off (deleted), how do investors make money on that? What’s their angle here?
@stone3Clare@JamieStoddart @doctor_dru_ @DougBannatyne @iDrSunny It’s written off after 30y. Assuming dru earns the same over the next 3 decades (unlikely), he will pay 60k for 120ks worth of education. What a great deal. Who makes money by writing off 60k…? If dru earns more £ from his degree in the future he will pay more and pay it down.
Things are not normally a “permanent beta”, it’s either launched or it’s in a pre launch phase. They may have 25% of the market (I don’t know if that’s true), but of that 25% what are on the same tattoo as you. People will buy spot if it’s lower than forward - for any good or service, that’s economics.
@Timbassett@DrSimEvans I genuinely don’t know what would have been better, a) price cap not existing, b) price cap being changed unfavourably to consumer in crisis, c) letting energy companies survive to ensure more competition. Not sure there was an easy way out. But OP misses all of this nuance.
