Govt mulls wheat import to avert crisis!

The federal and provincial governments met on Monday for the second time to avert a brewing wheat crisis after two largest producing provinces declared shortages and sought releases from federal reserves to arrest soaring prices. https://t.co/ANGTahQgoZ

[Faysal Sayeed @faissaeed78]

Agreed.
1. Not deregulation
2. It’s monopolisation
3. Monopoly = higher costs
Feudals mindset running the govt have again tilted policy to benefit their own cartels instead of competition. Poor Public pays the price as always.

[farrukh saleem @SaleemFarrukh]

Didn't the Govt say that it is deregulating Petroleum Prices?
This is what the Govt just did:
1. Banned all private OMCs from importing diesel
2. Made PSO the sole importer by cabinet order
3. Embedded PSO's declared premium as the legal pricing benchmark

A. This is not deregulation
B. This is monopolisation dressed in the language of deregulation
C. Monopoly procurement always costs more — not less

What free market?
We rig the market for sugar to benefit industry and make consumers lose.

We rig the market for petroleum products to benefit industry and make consumers lose.

We subsidise fertiliser companies without giving equal benefit to farmers.

We rig the market for wheat to make farmers lose and make selected investors and stockists gain.

We rig the market for electricity and gas to make producers gain and consumers lose.

We don’t have free markets. We have an elite controlled, rent seeking economy.

A government is not expected to solve every problem overnight.
But it is expected to tell people what the plan is.

صدر زرداری پرانے دوستوں کو نہیں بھولتے اور پرانے دوست بھی اپنے شاندار کارنامے دکھانے نہیں بھولتے۔
اب یہی انکوائری لیٹر دیکھ لیں۔ #OIC #COMSTCH کے کوارڈنیٹر جنرل اقبال چوہدری کو ایک پرسرار بندے کا فون جاتا ہے اور ان سے پوچھا جاتا ہے آپ کی کتنی مدت باقی ہے؟
وہ بتاتے ہیں دو سال۔
انہیں مشورہ دیا جاتا ہے آپ یہ عہدہ چھوڑ دیں۔وہ انکار کرتے ہیں کہ کیوں چھوڑ دیں بھائی۔

پتہ چلتا ہے کراچی سے ایک بہت بڑے آدمی کی بیگم صاحبہ کی وہاں ایک یونیورسٹی عہدے پر معیاد جلد ختم ہورہی ہے اسے اب یہاں اپائنٹ کرنا ہے۔

انکار کے بعد ایوان صدر ایک انکوائری آڈر کرتا ہے اور گیس کریں اس انکوائری کا سربراہ کون ہے؟
جی ہاں ون اینڈ اونلی سابق وزیر پٹرولیم ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین۔۔ اگے تسی سمجھدار او۔

معاملہ اتنا سنگین ہوچکا ہے کہ صدر پاکستان کو اپنی دوستی سوری میرا مطلب ہے Comstch کو بچانے کی خاطر خود سابق وفاقی وزیر ڈاکٹر عاصم حسین کو میدان میں اترانا پڑا ہے۔

پتہ چلا ہے اقبال چوہدری بھی ڈٹ گئے ہیں کہ ان سب الزامات کا سامنا کروں گا لیکن استحفی نہیں دوں گا جس کا دوستانہ مشورہ اس انکوائری سے پہلے انہیں وزارت نے دیا تھا۔
ویسے زرداری صاحب کی دوستی کو سلام۔۔ مان گئے وہ یاروں کے یار ہیں لیکن کیا کریں ان کے پرانے یار بھی باز نہیں آتے۔

خدا کا خوف کرو۔
اویس ظفر بے شک اس میں ٹیلنٹ ہو سکتا ہے مگر یہ کون سا میرٹ ہے کہ پچھلے سال فرسٹ کلاس کرکٹ کے 12 ٹاپ رینک بیٹسمینوں کو نظر انداز کرکے 13 ویں نمبر پر موجود کھلاڑی کو پاکستان کے سکواڈ میں جگہ دیدی گئی۔ جس نے کبھی ڈومیسٹک کرکٹ میں exceptional پرفارمنس نہیں دی۔ یہ پسند ناپسند کا کھیل کب تک چلے گا۔
پاکستان کی ٹیسٹ کیپ کی ویلیو زیرو کر دی گئی۔ ٹیم ایسوسی ایٹ کے لیول پر پہنچا دی۔
1000 رنز کرنے والے اور فرسٹ کلاس کے نمبر ون بیٹسمین سعد بیگ کا کیا قصور ہے؟ شاہزیب احمد خان کا کیا قصور ہے؟ کامران غلام کو پرفام کرنے کی سزا دی جا رہی ہے کیا؟
یہ لوگ نظر کے بھی اندھے ہیں اور دماغ سے بھی۔ کتنے کھلاڑیوں کو ٹیسٹ کیپس بغیر وجہ کے بانٹی گئیں اور پھر ٹیم سے نکال دیا گیا؟
کوئی ہے ان سے سوال پوچھنے والا؟
اتنی ردی ترین زمبابوے کی ٹیسٹ کیپ بھی نہیں جتنی ان لوگوں نے اپنی دقیانوسی اور جہالت سے پاکستان کی بنا دی ہے۔

A WhatsApp forward is not research. If I cannot clearly explain how a business makes money, grows, and why it is worth owning, I don't invest. Tips can start research, but they should never end it.

[Abdul Rehman Najam @ARNOfficiall]

I have friends who research for 3–5 days before buying a Rs1 lac phone.

But Invest Rs5 lac in a stock based on a WhatsApp forward.

Behavioral economists call this scope insensitivity, we don't scale our effort to the size of the decision.

One story based on an announcement by a company becomes “talk of the town” and Whatsapp forward. Millions are lost by new investors in this expensive habit.

What actually you should do before investing:

How will this business become more valuable? More customers or new products?
That's what investing is, not predicting prices. But Understanding businesses.

Most investors don't lose money because they lack information.

They lose it because they borrow someone else's conviction without borrowing their research.

If you can't explain why you own a business, you are not an investor but a speculator who has zero information.

What's the worst investment tip you've ever received? And how did you come out of that hole?

Salaries pay 127% more tax than realty!

Preliminary estimates show that the marginalised salaried class paid roughly Rs630 billion in income tax during the just?ended fiscal year – a sum that is 127% more than taxes paid by the real estate sector, which again received a bonanza of 50% reduction in its already low tax burden in the budget.

Govt misses Export target by $5.2b!

The government has missed the export target by a wide margin of $5.2 billion, as receipts during the last fiscal year plunged to $30.1 billion, causing a double-digit increase in the trade deficit and exposing underlying economic vulnerabilities

The math does not lie. International oil hits pre war levels ($75), yet local petrol costs Rs 42/litre more. This Rs 450 Billion premium proves that structural inefficiencies and corporate privileges are being funded straight out of the poor public's pockets. #Reforms

[farrukh saleem @SaleemFarrukh]

1. International oil price, pre-war: $75/barrel
2. International oil price, today: $75/barrel
3. Petrol price, pre-war: Rs 257/litre
4. Petrol price, today: Rs 299/litre
5. The shock passed
6. The price didn't
7. The government pocketed ~Rs450 billion

[farrukh saleem @SaleemFarrukh]

Rs300 billion is not leakage
Rs300 billion is a tax heist
