Be sincere. Be brief. Be seated.

Have you received that dreaded #email:
• runs into several pages
• poorly worded
• loosely formatted
• complicated to begin with
• ends with "sorry for the long mail. Didn't have time to shorten it".

I have.

Yes, it takes time to write an email. But, it takes more time, energy and knowledge to simplify it.

The greatest gift you can give someone is your time. Because when you do, you are giving a part of your life that you'll never get back.

We should value and respect other's time, just as we value ours. Writing unnecessarily long emails isn't one of them.

Being brief is better than being boring.

The devil may be in the details. But your point may be missed if people stop reading your emails halfway. Worst, they might not even open them in the first place.

There are many course teaching HOW to write en email. But very few teach WHEN to write en email. Even fewer teach when NOT to write an email.

Few questions to ask before sending your next email:
• is this supposed to be an email?
• should it rather be a short call, text or a meeting?
• is this simple/clear enough for the receiver?
• can I make it shorter, while still making sense?
• does everyone CC'd actually needs to be?
• If I got this email, how will I react?

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction”.
- Albert Einstein

P.S.
Sorry for the long post. I actually did shorten it 😊

@0xkarasy also to not forget cruelty can come in stages/levels. there are some who are well evolved and still use cruelty to their gain when needed.

[Ruwan Fernando @___Neo___]

very well written. kudos!

In summary, feel there won't be haircuts. but maturity ext. and/or rate reductions. likely broad spectrum (banks, superannuation funds, insurance, etc.), IMO impact can be really minimized by focusing on long term debts w/ potential low inflation EoY.

Government will most likely announce a Domestic Debt Restructuring on end Wednesday. Declaring a bank holiday on Friday is the right thing to do for it gives time for market players to digest the ramifications. 1/n

@Tharika_Rex @Dailymirror_SL same thoughts running through rn. "prejudice" seems to be a common theme running these days. just loosing faith in humanity every passing day.

@theGayan thx for the nice sum-up!

could you pls help me understand how this face value calculation has happened with maturity rate of 30%? it's a screenshot from cal's internal calculator, but I feel something is off there...

also can you help me calculate YTM for the selected bond?

[Ruwan Fernando @___Neo___]

could someone explain to me WTH we keep accumulating penalties for demurrage (as if we have so much dollars to spare) when we clearly don't have funds even to clear the intended contents?

now close to 1M USD for the 50 days of detainment.. just why!?
