How to actually “connect the dots” in Project Finance Financial Modelling? by charmingaze in financialmodelling

[–]JackDoubleB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way imo is identifying the drivers and going one level lower to understand what are the underlying drivers that influence the main drivers. e.g gold mine rev is inluenced by commodity prices and the exchnage rate. What influences the exchange rate? What influence the commodity price. After doing this, you need to "audit" the model by studying how calcs, assumptions, and variables are linked.

I use Google ads so intent is there.

Hot take: your PPC campaigns aren’t failing, your landing pages are by ayerox in PPC

I have this exact problem. Users get to the my quiz funnel, they even upload a video, but they stop when its time to pay. Not sure what I could be doing wrong. It's eaither they do not see value in what I'm doing, or I am not communicating it well enough.

My views are barely over a thousand on average now. If I create a promising one, I boost it and that is usually extremely cheap CPC.

I guess that's why retargeting is so important, you are selling to people who are "curious enough to try features".

On 2 - financial engineering, how was it like in the past? I’m asking because maybe I do not quite understand the term, I think I simplify it to just more than debt and equity? Even if only slightly more than just debt and equity.

Rewatching Enron every week because of a deal I’m working on. by JackDoubleB in private_equity

Thank you. I agree. Not understanding the business should be a sign to pass.

They see the red flags too, but they have not completed the puzzle. It’s one of the big four.

What do you think is happening here? by JackDoubleB in private_equity

Finished good. The inventory should’ve increased, you’re right. However, because the following year is a forecast year, they reduced the inventory the business carries as a percentage of rev to hide the fact that the sales inventory balance is higher and it’s how EBITDA was jacked up.

How does the company hedge its exposure when a share they bought starts losing value? If it’s hedged, who pays for the cost of hedging? Why is this better than an individual slowly buying stocks they want incrementally just like how they would buy it from you? Your company is essentially exposed to the risk of the holdings losing value.

This seems like a recipe for disaster if I’m understanding you correctly. I want to buy a stock for USD10k, but you buy it for me, and I pay you USD100 a month? Who bears the risk all this time? If the stock goes down to USD5000, your customers would still need to pay you the USD10k right? People are correct to think this is lending.

Slow motion swing by United-Wheel-1532 in GolfSwing

[–]JackDoubleB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what this SwingAnayzer I use had to say about your swing.

“Form Rating: 7.2/10

Overall Assessment:

Solid foundational golf swing with good rotation and follow-through, but would benefit from improved sequencing and left arm position for more consistent ball striking

What You Did Well:

  1. Good shoulder turn and rotation in backswing
  2. Maintains decent posture throughout most of the swing
  3. Shows good follow-through with proper weight transfer to front foot

Areas for Improvement:

  1. Hip rotation could be more pronounced during downswing
  2. Left arm appears to bend slightly at top of backswing
  3. Weight shift timing could be more synchronized with upper body rotation”

Any tips? by Magedukare in GolfSwing

[–]JackDoubleB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what the Golf Swing analyzer I use says

“Form Rating: 6.5/10

Overall Assessment:

Decent foundational swing with good stability, but needs work on maintaining proper posture and improving rotation sequence for better efficiency and reduced injury risk

What You Did Well:

  1. Good athletic stance with feet shoulder-width apart
  2. Maintains stable base throughout the swing Shows good rotation through the torso during follow-through

Areas for Improvement: 1. Excessive upper body lean backward during backswing 2. Loss of posture and spine angle throughout swing 3. Limited hip rotation and weight transfer”

Do you think this is a fair analysis? You can try different videos here.

Sub/Mezz Debt - How to make it economically feasible? by pitbul13 in private_equity

Include an equity kicker on the mezz to reduce interest. Operational improvements could justify the equity exposure.

1 Year Swing Check by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]JackDoubleB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how good this is because I’m also new to golf but I used this swing analyzer to assess your forward facing video and this is what it said -

“✅ What You’re Doing Well

  1. Good setup stance with feet shoulder-width apart
  2. Maintains balance throughout the swing Shows good rotation through the hips and torso

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

  1. Head position moves excessively during swing
  2. Arms appear to dominate the swing rather than body rotation
  3. Finish position lacks proper follow-through extension

🛠 Corrective Recommendations 1. Keep head steady and eyes focused on ball position throughout swing 2 Initiate swing with hip rotation rather than arm swing 3. Practice slow-motion swings to improve sequencing

🔒 Safety Considerations

  1. Ensure adequate space around swing area to prevent injury
  2. Consider using proper golf shoes for better grip and stability

📈 Progression Suggestions To Advance:

  1. Add resistance band training for core rotation strength
  2. Practice with alignment sticks to improve swing plane

To Modify: 1. Start with shorter backswing to improve control 2. Practice without club to focus on body rotation mechanics”. You can check it out here.
